@jaredbauman Was great to chat again! Already great to chat Jared

Super fun to catch up with @Jamie_IF. His story about his site that was on the market when HCU hit is crazy :( But great to hear all of the success he is having now (and how he is doing it)!

@Het__Vora From here nothing has gotten close but there’s other footage of the palm that suggests a drone / debris got through that caused some fire / damage

@Jamie_IF Anything hit the ground or just interceptions in the sky?

@helloitsolly both will work with your level of brand, retention, and focus but if you had to pick one right now - relationships first, then scale with paid once you've built the brand further with the relationship wins

I want to spend $120,000 on marketing $20,000/month over six months This will be my biggest ever marketing bet at Senja But I want to scale from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 ARR and need to take bigger bets My brain is telling me to try and scale something measurable - meta ads, Google Ads, cold outbound But my gut thinks I should focus on the hard work of building relationships with power-users and influencers of our ICP Less measurable, slower to ramp-up, but a genuine opportunity to find and persuade the right people to use Senja, and get to success This work would then act as the foundation of future marketing activity But I'm torn What would you do? #BuildInPublic

Just bought 40,000 leads from apollo for $44 I've been getting my leads at that price since May, insanely easy. Like + Comment 44 - my automation will send you a DM on how I do it (have to be following or it doesn't work)

Hiring an automation specialist as a consultant really changed the way we operate our agency and software All the stressful and boring admin stuff like: 1. Meeting notes get sent to every person with their specific action items, and then added to Monday as specific tasks 2. All support requests for the software auto-tagged and sent to the specific person who can answer them, with KPIs auto-measured for response time 3. All weekly client report reminders for every manual part, with other parts automated and generated 4. All marketing channel & acquisition data auto-tracked, summarised, and delivered with AI insights When they get deep into it and find everything that they can save you 1, 2 hours a week on, the total is just soooo much time every week. Not just for me but for our team as well The team are happier because they spend less time on boring stuff, and it saves 10x more than you invest in saved staff time and getting more results If you're on the fence, definitely hire someone for this. (Just makes sure they’re good and can actually build all the complex automations lol.) But we hired someone amazing and she's crushing it for us

@jpaulhendricks @ohgosu @Davidjpark96 Disable any promo codes in AIO and issue a new one to the affiliate

@Jamie_IF @ohgosu @Davidjpark96 Other than forcing your way into the AIO instead, what is the solution to that problem?

We just passed $1M in net revenue from affiliates 🎉🎉 Affiliate programs seem to only get more valuable as you scale! V grateful to our affiliates and we'll continue to improve jenni so it gets even easier for them to succeed 🫡 Next milestone: $1M in paid commissions!

Also be careful that AI Overviews don’t show a random affiliate’s promo code for the “jenni discount code” query giving them commission without actually driving the traffic Growing problem recently as the AI Overviews scan a random review, find the code and show it for everyone without the affiliate actually doing anything. So it ends up being basically an accidental brand bidding style situation

@Davidjpark96 If you're running affiliate promo codes, have you checked that they are bringing in net new revenue and not canabalizing your organic branded traffic?

@NicheSiteLady @Kasra_Dash @nichejason @MadsSingers @james_dooley @craigcampbell03 See you there!

On my way to Manchester for The Masterminders conference 🙌 Looking forward to seeing @Kasra_Dash @nichejason @Jamie_IF @MadsSingers @james_dooley @craigcampbell03 and many more interesting people 🤩 A couple of last-minute tickets available if anyone is around tomorrow 👀

everyone printing on FB because they got the algorithm right for the types of casual, fun things that audience wants to see from FB pages Google could do the same for longer-form article content (WITH EVEN MORE MONEY POTENTIAL! the RPMs are like 200x higher on Discover lol) The answer is so obvious... and it would incentivise creativity and creating excellent written content, and potentially give journalism a new lease of life in the AI overview era But no... it makes too much sense to actually be implemented

Google fumbling the bag with Google Discover after HCU is honestly one of the worse moves I've ever seen They could have turned niche publishers from keyword-focused content farms To the blogging version of YouTube, Where if you created unique, non-keyword-focused content that was actually really good (cool stories on the topic, interviews, deep-dives, actual journalism...) You'd get pumped based on engagement rates with your content and potentially get hundreds of thousands of views, and your month's income, from one banger article (Like YouTube) But no, instead, most got banished entirely from Discover due to the minimum site quality score hits that seem to always be applied unless you're a huge media brand I'm not an SEO anymore so I don't care, but it's just such a missed win. And it's bad for humanity because they disincentivise creativity by not even trying to push GOOD content Like even if you don't want to rank niche publishers anymore on Google (the SERPs are worse for it, but ok..) Then at least create a new meta with Discover where AMAZING content is pushed to a wider audience, like the YouTube algorithm so that people who like to read cool conteont can get the option of reading this on their lunch breaks or weekends Huge huge missed win

@zilvestro why would you want to confuse both our users by using a name we've been using for months? it's just bad for both of us and our users

@Jamie_IF Why should I?

Affiliate Finder is now live for beta testers! Find potential affiliates while you sleep Let me know if you want access

@zilvestro just change the name

Something large is being built.

@oliver__com finallyyyyyy lets gooooo

🚨 SEOtalos just rolled out in public beta. First 100 seats (or 30 days—whichever lands first) lock in 50% OFF FOR LIFE. 👇 Here’s a sneak peak

-> Linkedin sponsorship -> check everyone who likes and connects with them -> send them a 3-min Loom showing how the product applies to their specific product -> ask if they want to be an "early product dev tester" and ask how much they'd value a product like this if it was finished -> get them in and using, and when it's ready send them the bill

(depends on the niche also, this post for us was $500 but for some niches the post is $25K lol)

Genuinely just do this 1 thing if you want to see if your product idea is a banger before you build it: Pay the biggest influencer in your niche $1K to post an ad for it and if a bunch of people hunt you down to try and pay you for it, build it Happened a couple weeks back with a product we're launching next monday, top head at a $25bn company with 22,000 employees is actively pursuing us telling us to name our price If it's crickets, congrats, you just paid under a grand to get all the data you need to save weeks of bs building
