    Do you still recommend optimizing meta descriptions? Or is it an afterthought at this point, where you can just copy and paste it from your in page text, and format it a bit?

    How to escape consumerism and have fun without spending money?

    MINDSET 
    I have the opposite problem. If you'd call it that. Growing up, I wanted a BMW 650i Coupe for the longest time. Gorgeous car, it really is... At the time it was priced around $30k, and I was just going to pay cash for it. Fast forward to my first business, and I find myself being able to...

    B2C Now that's interesting, about the ellipsis.... It seems 90% have taken this into consideration on the first page. So what if your title is longer on page than on SERP? Doesn't that create a disconnect between the reader, even if they convey the same message? On the other hand, about...

    Definitely selling competing products. Though the only difference is brand recognition and product "quality", since the industry is standardized. So Company X has to have Specification 123, just like everyone else, to put that label on it. Cut off in the sense that importing them removes part...

    Yes for SEO.... ( @MJ DeMarco I accidentally posted this in his Aff thread, can you move it over to AMA: SEO sorry ) Say you have 100k products. All with thin content. What would you do then? Few options that come to mind: - Hire a team of VAs to put together at least "unique content" - Take...

    Bounce rate. Time on site. Pageviews per user. Etc. You still have to go out and get backlinks, but the order of operations has changed. If I'm understanding this correctly... Before you could execute in the following order: 1. On-site SEO/KW 2. Backlinks 3. User experience Rather, now you...

    Hey Bio, do you use a central software for inventory management across sales channels? Ebay, Amazon, website, etc. Or would you be able to recommend one?

    Does anyone spend a significant amount of time over thinking things?

    Meditation and list writing solved this for me after years of struggling. Meditation Let your overthinking pass through you. Embrace it instead of fighting it. You'll only deplete your willpower going against it. Leading to even less action on your part. List Helps you focus and return to...

    Anyone know how to get your facebook business domain unbanned?

    MARKETING 
    New domain is the nuclear option, since it's still a relatively new site. Issue is with people sharing links directly. It gets blocked.

    Anyone know how to get your facebook business domain unbanned?

    MARKETING 
    I hired someone to take care of a business page. They were doing great until it came time to post up products. They spammed and got the domain blacklisted. Now ads won't even publish. I've tried writing FB on the issue, through their various reporting and contact forms. But dead silence. Any...

    Canadian Fulfillment (3pl)

    Just got done setting up ours up there. Couldn't get much good info from 3PLs b/c of our lack of history. So we partnered with another company that had a warehouse. They're not a 3PL, but they're taking care of packaging. We pay the shipping costs and pass along a nice %.

    The Bugatti Chiron is priced at USD $2,998,000 Prices ending in odd numbers are perceived as value buys. Even are quality. I'm trying the $xx8 price. Owners get annoyed at it, so I'll probably change it back.

    Great start Libre Office is a good alternative to Office. I don't like Google docs b/c of their file and folder organization. Check this out as well: Hemingway Editor It will help you write faster/clearer.

    Anyone Have Experience With LASIK Eye Surgery?

    HEALTH 
    I've been researching this a bit... First know why your vision is bad. Get a check up to see if you have any damage or other things that are not supposed to be there. Low chance, but get it done anyway, because of what LASIK actually entails. Problem My guess is that you're like the rest of...

    Don't let the VA saturation scare you. There's an ocean of people who won't touch them with a 10 foot pole. Both business owners and middle managers. I'd wager a middle manager who's concerned with their quarterly review. Increasing their productivity by 3.1% is a better candidate for simple...
