beauty on google shopping is brutal for CPCs, i'll agree with that, but i'd push back a little on the idea that you cant compete with bigger brands. ran a smallish skincare brand last year, avg CPC was around $1.40 and we still hit a 3.2x ROAS by just bidding on very specific long-tail product...

internal linking alone moved a product page from position 14 to 6 for me, no new backlinks, just restructured how the silo pointed at it. but the part people miss is that it matters way more for pages that already have *some* authority sitting on them, like youre not going to internal link a...

the 90% cheaper CPC is real and i ran the same play on a competitor's brand name last year, pulled about 340 clicks at $0.08 avg before their legal team sent a cease and desist to my ad account email, which was... not ideal. curious whether youre using a separate domain for the landing pages or...

timing is wild on this, i ran a niche news site for about 8 months and the supabase + lovable combo is actually underrated for moving fast but my traffic died every time a story went cold because i had zero email capture set up early on. whats your current plan for keeping the 500 subscribers...

ran into something similar with a different performance network, 340 "MQLs" over 6 weeks and sales couldn't get a single one on the phone, turned out about 60% had mismatched email domains vs the company fields they filled in. the MQL definition problem is real though, no quality control at the...

vnd accounts getting approved easy tracks with what i saw when i tested a pakistani rupee account last year, got through 3 creatives that would've tanked instantly on my usd account. curious though, when you say "low quality" on the vnd side, are you talking about the traffic converting worse or...

I work on paid acquisition for a B2B SaaS tool and last month we cut our main LP load time from 4.5s to under 2s. conversions jumped roughly 40% which was way more than I expected for a speed fix. the dev team pushed back on prioritizing it but the numbers shut that down fast. anyone else in...

ran this same setup about 6 months ago, facebook killed my ad account at $47 spend because the smartlink destination kept rotating into something that triggered their policy scanner, never got a clear answer on which landing page actually caused it. curious whether youre manually selecting a...

that $20/day on a $500 budget is basically google soft-ghosting you, ran into the exact same wall pushing a testosterone nutra last year and topped out at $23 spend before hitting the "website compromised" flag. what fixed it for me was aging a separate account for 3 weeks on white hat...

I work on paid acquisition for a B2B SaaS tool and like 6 months ago we cut our main LP load time from 4.5s to under 2s. conversions jumped around $2k/month which was way more than I expected for a speed fix. the dev team pushed back on prioritizing it but the numbers shut that down fast. anyone...

the NSFW/OF angle is where i'd actually focus first if i were starting this now, ran a test subreddit in that space last year and got to 4k members in about 6 weeks just riding the organic search traffic from people looking for specific creator names. the behavioral antifraud point is real but...

tried the same infrastructure-first logic on a smaller scale about two years ago, created like 340 accounts across various platforms using a spreadsheet and a VA before i had any actual content plan. the problem was the tube sites started flagging the profiles as inactive shells within 60-90...

first model i signed came from instagram dms, just found girls already posting fitness or lifestyle content and pitched the earning potential directly, took like 200 dms to get 3 responses and 1 yes. the "hard time recruiting" part is just a numbers game nobody warns you about upfront, most guys...

the $24/month VPS handling 4 accounts is the part worth sitting with, because i ran a similar multi-account setup for an ecom loyalty SMS system back when i had my second brand and the moment one account's sending behavior flagged the IP, all four went sideways at once, lost about $6k in paused...

yeah that 0.002 per 1000 plays price point is gone, i watched it climb to around 0.08-0.12 on most panels i checked last quarter and half the providers just quietly delisted the service entirely. soundcloud clearly tightened their detection on the supplier side, same thing happened with spotify...
