I'm watching this video by Sabri Subi, and he's pushing to spend as much as possible on ads , however...he also owns an agency, so since he probably makes a commission on ad spend, maybe that's why he's pushing that?

He says that spending as much as possible puts you in "apex predator" position to outbuy all the competition.

I don't have much experience in PPC, to the guys out there who have been doing this since the early 2000's, what's your take on this?

I see sellers that have packages for 1 page wordpress sites, and that's fine as long as the customer is not a nightmare...

I've seen the "request" to order is only available for level 2

So how can I manage this, I don't want them to book, and then the scope is out of control.

Is there a way that I can choose to accept the gig or not BEFORE they pay or order, or what about if I refund them?

Intel said they'll keep making it and it will be widely available...

Yet they are impossible to get in Asia, and now even in the USA, they are out of stock at Best Buy, Microcenter and NewEgg (where else could I get one?) I have a friend in the USA who is coming to THailand next month, and I'll have him get one for me, IF he can find one!

Will they ever be in stock again and at what price?

About to take the nativecamp questionnaire and they say if you fail gotta wait 6 months...so what will they ask?

I'm a Canadian native speaker, got my 120 hours TESL and taught in Japan at Berlitz for 2 years.

Problem is I have no clue about grammar...(well, I do know my alphabet, does that count? ;)

Has anyone taken the test and what do the questions look like?

I'm a web developer and I can pretty much build anything I want, not vibe code crap, can make my own prepply or cambly

but it wouldn't be all formal and full of hurdles

pricing would be fair, minimums, more geared towards teachers than students

would that be something doable or possible?

not saying treat students like crap, but respect the teachers, make it more fair for all?

what do you guys think?

it's hard enough to book WP sites...

how can a single freelancer book Drupal projects?

I've had a few over the years, but it was mostly by luck!

any tips or suggestions short of "my uncle owns the business", "word of mouth" or "I work at NASA" advice?😅

according to AI, since vrm is so weak, I might get just slightly better performance from 14600k

is that true?

Canadian expat, living in Thailand, they say that getting a job doing cold calls is good training and practice

can you guys recommend any company that hires remoted and that actually pays their workers?😂

I scrapped 1000's of d7 sites, does anyone have experience contacting them and trying to book a migration gig?

most of them could convert to WP if that's what they want

I'll cold call them, anyone tried this?

Saw this processor on sales for $150 last year and didn't bother buying it...I have an i3 12100 with 32g of ram

Now i regret it...DRR5 makes changing ridiculous

Will the i5 14600k go down in price again? Maybe black Friday or before/after raptor lake refresh ?

Been building websites for 20 years, can do heavy duty stuff, like WP custom and Drupal.

But getting work is getting nearly impossible, especially to fix defective legacy websites, even if they desperately need help...

So thinking of getting into AI solutions and automation.

Problems, every kid on youtube and twitter is spilling the beans telling everyone how to do this, so I suspect business owners will be getting 30 cold calls a day on this....

I do have hundreds of thousands of leads, so if this IS possible, it would be great!

But the question is, does this even work, anybody doing this successfully without being hung up and told to F_ Off, 300 times a day? My outbound strategy will be cold calling.

PS. No AI slop/Kids selling courses or Gohigh level staff comments please 😉

I'm a developer and I see companies selling subscriptions to contractors and niche industries.

they are subscription models

I can offer substantial cost savings and better service and features

ill attempt to cold call businesses and try to take over their service contracts

I'm totally new at this...any advice for me?

For twilio you need a licence for the A2P 10DLC to send SMS, not sure how Google handles this...

How reliable is it?

web dev/designer, Canadian expat living in Thailand, about to be made obsolete by AI...

started cold calling some businesses, getting used to it

thinking of getting into sales, has to be remote

do I have any chance at all?

​

I use autohotkey, python and various Linux batch scripts to automate, also using crons and browser automation , macros, regex and so on

thinking of merging with AI, I use Claude to manage and write the scripts

so some of you guys do that?

if so, what are your workflows?

I'm a web developer , and I'll start calling businesses with broken websites to offer either fix re-build

I have no idea what I'm doing on the phone...I guess I'll learn 😅!

as anyone done this and what kind of closing ratio at worse at best?

Hi everyone, here is my situation.

I started to have lower left abdomen pain about 6 months ago, came and went, also had flat stools and that really worried me...

So I got a colonoscopy, they found 2 polyps, they took them out, both were non cancerous, so that was the good news!

However, they found to diverticulas, at the same spot as the polyps, and that's actually where my pain is located.

I looked it up and I think I have:

"Symptomatic Uncomplicated Diverticular Disease"

the pain is about 1/10, stomach gurgles, it's not horrific, but things aren't just right.

Does anybody else have this?
