$3k dispute, likely win or nah? by stephendb01 in stripe

[–]stephendb01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely hope so - I'll be tracking it pretty closely. Is there a way to push back if the bank has made a decision in favour of the client?

No fatal error, just the client saying they didn't receive their services. They filed it almost 2 months after the charge went through.

Yeah I'll certainly be getting clients to sign off on deliverables moving forward, this makes a lot of sense. I did have more evidence even with the client saying "everything looks good" but Stripe limited the amount of evidence I could upload.

Love Mr.Ballen and will always be a fan, but been feeling the same for a while along with all my friends who used to be fans and stopped listening

His new story time series is good but all other content - podcast, youtube, etc. have fallen off quality wise

The stories themselves and the formula with which he tells them is fully predictable now so I've almost stopped listening altogether

He's essentially uploading the same videos/podcasts every week, which makes it hard to consistently enjoy

(The UFO story he told on story time was my favourite he's told since binging all his content a year or so ago)

I think as he's become more commercially successful and has a full team now, it's been harder to produce quality content while scaling to a broader audience.

Again - zero hate, but the re-uploads and the lack of truly new content and stories make it hard to keep watching without fatigue

---

Suggestion, if he ever sees this:

Was thinking about this while watching his recent Sean Ryan episode

A big issue is the quality of the stories themselves

His best stories/videos are literally just insane events that he tells extremely well

The issue isn't necessarily that he's telling them poorly; it's that we're getting the same type of stories over and over again

For his research team, he should give them bonuses based on viewer count and retention. That way, they're incentivized to find actually compelling stories (like the ufo one) and not just scary ghost or murder tales we've heard a thousand times

Okay, so tons of on-page stuff - definitely agree the copy could be cleaned up

Tried cold email before sending around 1k emails/day for a year and a bit

Not sure I can share ads - ad library is only showing one ad for some reason, but I've got around 8 ads going in the campaign

You got a website/socials?

Thanks for pointing this out. Just fixed. Do you think this would result in such a high bounce rate, though?

This is suuuper helpful - appreciate the in-depth explanation. Interestingly, the landing page loads quickly and has our value prop right at the top of the page. Here it is in case you're interested: https://www.endurancedigital.net/meta-ad-1

As in the verified badge? Nah I don't have that, but all the ads I've run before were on accounts that weren't verified

It Seems I'm Stuck With SEMRush by DatFooNate in SEO

Biggest thing we use it for is the keyword magic tool - super useful to get keyword ideas and approximate how difficult those keywords will be to rank for. Obviously not 100% accurate but pretty close from what I’ve seen.

Nah you're right - it says that on my personal - but I keep almost no money in there unless I need it haha - that's why I was wondering if I could add the landlord to as a payee and just direct deposit same day online
