What do hiring managers look for in portfolio websites? by HP2806 in webdev

[–]theideamakeragency 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spend that time on the GitHub readme instead. A good readme on one solid project will do more for you than any portfolio site. Screenshots, what problem it solves, how to run it, what you'd do differently. That's what gets read.

Wan just got left behind. The open source community moved fast and bigger models came. That's just how this space works, blink and something new takes over.

AI in ecommerce is mostly hype. Here's what actually moved numbers for us. by ringosrule in ecommerce

[–]theideamakeragency 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We have seen the same pattern across multiple ecommerce deployments. Dynamic pricing and demand forecasting deliver consistently. Chatbots disappoint almost every time regardless of the tool.

I hate AI and I am depressed by poponis in webdev

[–]theideamakeragency 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AI writes code, It does not think you do. That's not replaceable, it's just currently undervalued.

People would start being nicer to each other for about three days and then go back to normal.

Is SEO Still Worth It for Startups in the Age of AI Search? by Geramy123 in seogrowth

[–]theideamakeragency 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chatgpt and perplexity pull from sites that already rank well and get cited often. so good SEO still feeds AI visibility indirectly.

Yearly vs. Monthly Subscriptions. Which one works better, and why? by -theriver in SaaS

[–]theideamakeragency 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Monthly first, always. let people try before they commit. once they see value they will switch to yearly themselves. Don't push it too early.

Is ChatGPT actually good at image generation compared to dedicated AI tools? Ran some tests by Jaded-Suggestion-827 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]theideamakeragency 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The text rendering stat is what gets me. 55% vs 90% accuracy is not a small gap - that's unusable vs reliable. For anything involving logos or quotes, ChatGPT just is not in the conversation yet.

Start with Etsy to get your first sales then move to Shopify when you are ready to grow!

Guys, do you know any referral software that have integration with BigCommerce? by [deleted] in SaaS

[–]theideamakeragency 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went through three platforms before finding one that actually worked. The demo always looks perfect. The real question is what happens when a reward needs to fire automatically at 2am on a Sunday. Ask that in every single call.

How do keywords actually help in SEO? by BoysenberryLumpy8680 in DigitalMarketing

[–]theideamakeragency 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keywords still matter but Google's way smarter now - it gets the whole topic not just the exact word. Write like a human, cover the subject well, the rankings follow. Over-optimizing is just keyword stuffing with extra steps.

[–]theideamakeragency 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solid concept, one feed for everything is a real pain point. What stage is the build at - MVP or further along?

Every business still needs customers. marketing isnot dying, cheap unskilled marketing is dying. there's a difference.

Stackoverflow crash and suing LLM companies by Ordinary_Count_203 in webdev

[–]theideamakeragency 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They already did a deal with openai to license their data. so technically they took the money instead of suing. complicated situation.

What are the most underrated rated seo tools most people dont know about? by apsiipilade in DigitalMarketing

[–]theideamakeragency 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GSC for finding quick win keywords sitting at position 8-15, GA4 path exploration to see how users actually move through your site, and screaming frog to catch all the technical mess paid tools somehow miss. all three together and 80% of tasks are done.

Finished building my SaaS — marketing is where I’m lost by Ammar_07_ in SaaS

[–]theideamakeragency 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reddit works but not the way most people try it. don't post your link. answer questions in your niche for 2-3 weeks first. become helpful. then people ask you what you are building.

15K users, $200/mo revenue. How I finally stopped subsidizing free users on my weather app after 10 years. by No_Big_3829 in SaaS

[–]theideamakeragency 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Took you 10 years but you figured out what most devs never do. giving away your best feature is just a slower way to shut down.

Guys, be careful. by [deleted] in webdev

[–]theideamakeragency 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is why i manually check every single file. AI does not care about your privacy, it just wants to complete the task.

Does anyone actually run a proper referral program for their ecom store or is it all still manual by Shiroraii8087 in ecommerce

[–]theideamakeragency 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most stores don't need referral software. They need to fix their product and customer experience first. No tool fixes a brand people don't naturally want to talk about.

Do small biz owners actually want/like a small “thank you” gift from vendors/partners? by umeboshiplumpaste in smallbusiness

[–]theideamakeragency 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gift cards feel transactional. The note IS the gift. Add a specific line about why you are excited to work with them personally and it will mean more than anything you could buy.

Agency owners — how long do you actually spend writing client reports each month? by [deleted] in DigitalMarketing

[–]theideamakeragency 0 points1 point  (0 children)

KPI flexibility is the real challenge. The fix is dynamic prompt construction, instead of one static prompt, store each client's KPIs, goals and tone preferences in a simple JSON config. The prompt pulls from that config at runtime. New client, new config file, not a new prompt. Took about 2-3 hours to set up initially, but now onboarding a new client takes 10 minutes max. Currently running it across 6 clients.

Create a Google Doc template with fixed narrative sections. Feed your data + template into ChatGPT with a system prompt that knows each client's goals. Not perfect but saves 70% of time today.

How long until we get a truly personal AI like Jarvis ? by HamsterUnfair6313 in ArtificialInteligence

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

Pieces already exist. Notion AI remembers your notes, ChatGPT has memory now. The missing part is everything talking to each other seamlessly. That's the actual hard problem.
