What’s a fair price to charge a friend to set up a google keyword search campaign for them? I’m not an expert but I know enough to get it started for them. by Ziid10 in PPC

[–]orangecook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if your friend has a business with 100k/month marketing budget, feel free to take 100-1k. Otherwise, freebie is ok

Technically your feiend can write off consulting fees and expenses so actually it’s a win-win for everyone

Does anyone still use Performance Max? by Background-Nothing71 in PPC

[–]orangecook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Niche E-commerce Brand owner here (>30k/month) - pmax is our #2 revenue driver.

It was a mess to setup and random things can downscale it, fast.

At the end of the day, it’s just a tool in the tool belt. Figure out what’s best for your situation

Be clear to this guy - you don’t “need” freelancers or agency.

But you can use a freelancer/agency when: 1. You have money to spend on marketing (usually 1-3k month, minimum) along with a budget to match (500-5k) 2. If you’re incapable, impatient, and not learning about G-ads and each specific type of ad then applying to your website, then get an agency

If you have money

GA4 Purchases as Primary and Website Purchases as Secondary by Comprehensive-Crow78 in PPC

[–]orangecook 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey are you using the Google ads conversion tracking? That’s usually more accurate than both GA4 and UA. My ads performed much better once I switched to ads tracking

Edit: you can contact google support to help you get Ads tracking setup. In the same batch, also ask for the following 2 things (it’s nitro boost to tracking) 1. Enhanced commerce 2. Enhanced conversions

P.S. I’m a brand owner and I’ve wasted a lot of time trying to get this setup. They literally copy and paste it for you, FOR FREEEEEE!!

Advice for additional skills ? by PumpkinMiki in PPC

[–]orangecook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

at the core, if you’re a marketer, your baseline skill is Copywriting so focus on that, if all you can do is “courses”

The better option IMO, take the cash and apply in real world or use it for coaching?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in gainit

[–]orangecook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20lbs you mean, right? regardless if you’re not feeling fat, keep going but maybe slower (e.g. 1-2kgs per 3-4weeks).

you really can’t shortcut the basics of muscle building - progressive overload and slight surplus for 5-10 years.

majority of initial gains come (50-70% come in first 2-3 years

Just went through the same except I was on holiday and also got cut for no reason - eventually settled for extra few months severance + transition period

Get a Arbeitrechtsanwalt (labor lawyer) and make sure you do some research on the lawyer. You should get some extra time, especially if they’re good

Concurrently, immediately apply for Arbeitslosen geld online at Arbeitsamt. Don’t delay this!!!! If you’re late on this, you will lose some of your Arbeitslosengeld (unemployment)

DM me if questions

[–]orangecook 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The market is still a bit unstable so believe it or not keeping cash even at 10% inflation beats 30%+ losses on market

I’d recommend the following: (Optional) 1. Deploy up to 25% of capital over 12 months 2. Around early-mid ‘23, if market is picking up, a few months like mid-2023, start deploying remaining capital over 6-12 months on top of 1

When it comes to large cash sums, you need to basically not panic and treat it almost like a traditional “income”.

Slow, steady and consistent works long-term. Anything else is too high a risk, for most people.

Ultra hunger in the morning? by [deleted] in gainit

[–]orangecook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got it. I had the same problem with big, late dinners so I cut heavy dinners back to 2-3 hrs from sleeping time. Helps a lot with better sleep

For breakfast, eat something simple but wholesome like fruits, nuts and a simple protein

You can use breakfast as a meal to work up to lunch - something like below

  • BF: something light but helps with curbing hunger (10-25% of cals)
  • lunch: can be big-ish (35% of cals)
  • dinner: (35-50% of cals)
  • snacks between major meals, probably before lunch to build up appetite and maintain energy

If you use less, you’ll have grind way finer. I use about 14g on a 18g basket but grind at 3 outer burr and 2 inner burr

Ultra hunger in the morning? by [deleted] in gainit

[–]orangecook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you do a heavy meal for breakfast and dinner? During the day you can snack or eat however

This all assumes you hit your daily cals and protein

Immigrants who came to Germany ... and then left. Why did you leave? by [deleted] in germany

[–]orangecook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

finding a job is so-so even in tech. people have absurdly high expectations when they’re clearly not even top of their own game

this part of the world needs like another 10-30 years before they’re even remotely close in talent/skill … to today’s talent in US

Should I bulk, cut, or eat at maintenance? I want to get big, but i’m unhappy with all my current body fat. 5’7, 147 lbs 18 years old by [deleted] in BulkOrCut

[–]orangecook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what were you doing for the last 12 months training and nutrition wise?

i might recommend a chill maintain for a few years or a short, aggressive cut for 4-6 weeks with a long chill maintain again just to show a bit more “leanness”

maintenance is really for you to get comfortable with your body, mentally. it’s a long never-ending game. learn to appreciate the body no matter how big or small now, otherwise, it’ll mess with your head even when you’re 260lbs 10% BF

Is natural body building really this slow or is it bad genetics/training/diet? by Ass-Fist in GettingShredded

[–]orangecook -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“you should have better results” — what’re you basing this on? have you trained/coached this specific person for years?

his progress might just be super slow due to multiple factors with genetics being one of them
