Add tap to call buttons, customer testimonials, and customer's location to your headline. Make it dynamic, so it changes depending on their location. "Window cleaning in Frankfurt" or something like that. Your ad should say the same thing

The customers location is added on ads (made a new landing page for each keyword). I will take care of tesimonials as my next thing, the tap to call button is now also on my "to add" list.

Thanks for the tips.

Update:

The young kids' parents just found out about it and aren't allowing them to take the bus anymore. I could've charged for it too so it looks like after dropshipping, smma and paid comunities, it is yet another trend i missed out on

Were you seriously considering charging the kids to sit at the front of the bus?

I think you’re delusional thinking you’re going to fund a kitchen appliance hardware startup on a minimum wage job… and that you’ll do it in 2 months to boot.

If your idea is good, then go get investors to fund this. (But I don’t think the idea is good).

Being blunt because I don’t want to see you wasting your time. But some people need to learn the hard way and maybe you’re one of those.

Well... Dammit...

I've gotten quite a lot of good replies, including on this forum.

And I did learn the hard way already - i've failed multiple businesses.

Still, I believe saving just about any person from 60%+ level income an entire hour every day is a pretty good relative value.

can you guys give your perspective on "How should I deal with our children falling in love with someone when they are merely 13-15 years old? What should I do?"

note: And I am not good at english so I am using chatgpt to structure my sentences.

And not a value you will be capable of providing to anyone unless you have serious capital to invest... either yours or others.

Fulfilment might be easier on the second but what about getting them to come back again? That seems like you are replacing one issue with another.

It would be nice to think healthy returning customer rate would be reflected in the sale price, but even if it was, it would be much harder to get the same sale price as if it was just recurring revenue.

The business is working I’m not sure why you would change it. From your post it doesn’t even sound like a debate, just we have a business that is working and I’m trying to convince my partner to change it.

I would just solve the issue of fulfilment being harder on the recurring model, seems easier than switching business models and trying to work out how to get customers to keep coming back and buying from you again.

You may be underestimating how hard it’s going to be to get people to keep coming back and buying more and taking the recurring revenue for granted.

This might make you see a bit more what I mean - but we're in lead generation.

Saying to someone we'll get you 10 leads predictably that match your exact criteria is an uncertain promise.

But every single person has a criteria. A lead that is worthless to one person is worth thousands to another, so a per lead model can scale much bigger and faster as opposed to being limited to the stress of generating a package of predictable leads with a specific criteria.

A single lead that would've been sold to someone for $100, when they buy that lead as just one, is now sold for $200

Yeah makes a lot more sense doing it that way

Yep. we're going to try this. We can have our cake and eat it too.

Just make sure not to put the monthly fee too high, if your service deals with randomness, your clients might experience a dry period and drop it. I'd say a go lower on monthly one and higher on "per lead", going to average out for you over the longer period anyway, but people won't feel as uneasy over the dry periods

Any of you folks btw savvy with CCW? Been thinking about trying out building my own(P365 base+ icarus precision grips + a red dot) Might ask some advice here n there

Kadence is just faster. And whatever I want to customize or fix, even as a non-technical person, I can always figure it out quickly.

I remember Elementor as very clunky and annoying. I hated their slow drag and drop experience. There were a lot of things I had no idea how to change.

I find Elementor easier though that's probably just because that I'm good in tech

Hypothesis for the reason 2030 is the magical date the apocalypse is scheduled for:

Most likely the last decade for the boomers.

They think the world is going to end.

They're technically correct.

I think I just snatched a 3k camera lens for $850 from ebay.

Or I got scammed.

But can I get a refund if the seller violates the listing description?

Either I got very lucky or I'm about to find out the meaning of "there is no free lunch".

Lol. Hope it is not a stolen items for sale.

Can anyone suggest an alternative to ChatGPT that doesn't censor too much?

I like to use ChatGPT to combine different ideas to produce funny content, but sometimes the app refuses to come up with a response.

I don't produce any content that is in any way related to pornographic novels, gambling or excessive violence, but the app is sometimes too restricted for my taste.

In other news, Janet Yellon admits on Fox Business that she regrets saying inflation was "transitory" 3 years ago when we all saw the reality on the ground.

No worries, because of her blindness, I got a cheap mortgage and now the US government pays it.

When there is repossession of any asset, does the bank reach out to you to sell to you the asset at low interest rate and at a price lower than the average market value?

Do you have to be a big player like BlackRock to get something like a real estate 'package' deal when a market crash happens or do they reach out to anyone who they deem loaded?

The problem these days is the media backstops the dollar as a propaganda weapon. The US dollar is the BEST! LOL

Who wouldn't be surprised if you saw a headline on the WSJ that says:

"Despite a very small number of Americans being left behind, The American dream, democracy, the middle class and ellis island are doing extremely well."

Does anyone else remember a thread where the guy came on bragging that he read TMF , so he got himself fired at work and worked his unemployment over to disablity- and while he hadn't had any fastlane businesses yet, he'd been pretending for 11 months that his welfare checks were fastlane payment pot checks and came to brag?

This doesn't ring a bell, and usually I have a steel-trap for stories like these posted here.

I can't tell if it was a fever dream or someone actually having that much audacity, I hope he made something of himself at least.

I don't remember that either.

He is still young, but I can't help but think RoR would fade away if he retired (which he brings up in the interview). I think it would be like when Steve Jobs left Apple (both times).

I remember hitting up some Ruby on Rails tutorials, hoping to turn into a programmer overnight in my first days of the Fastlane Forum.

That was real silly of me...my strengths were more with writing, which could be turned towards copywriting.

Now its a lot faster and easier for me to go find an email client who'd agree to a $2000 package, or find some product to write emails on. And presently I realise the way you write emails (at least, the Ben Settle philosophy) can be translated into other short-form content like Telegram copy or even TikTok posts...

If you're not in a position to buy hard assets, then the best thing you can do is build a highly-demanded skill -- your skill value in the marketplace should inflate with prices.

Saw this sad tale turn up in my local news:

M’sian Master’s Grad Earns RM2.8k at 1st Job as Recruiter, Says He “studied for nothing” Due to Low Pay

With the minimum wage still set at RM1,800, many Malaysians are still struggling to survive until the end of every month. When you’re just 3 years away till you reach 30, do you think you can make it with a monthly salary of less than RM3,000? A Malaysian grad student who recently completed his...

worldofbuzz.com

This skill shouldn't take TOO long or a mountain of debt to get good at.

For my email work...all you can do is to just do what Chris Orz says here and know enough to start, at least for direct response emails. Even half of this would argueably be enough.

Do you use Hello Elementor or Astra theme?

I'm curious about what Astra offers that Hello Elementor doesn't.

The collective individuals that are entrenched in the system don’t see an issue here. The more the merrier I guess. LOL

The "work experience" is nice engagement bait, but what caught my eye first was the "empowering creative entrepreneurs to turn their passion..." BS line in the profile preview snippet

Oh, I didn't spot that bit. Does make me want to vomit in my mouth a little.
