@homeservicebase thanks for reminder! was I was about to start the Google ads and totally forgot about bing again haha

The most “Ads First” search engine is Bing. Most home service business owners don’t even know about Bing Ads. It has a relatively low amount of traffic, but people who still have Bing as their default search engine are usually less picky. As a result, the biggest local companies and lead generation platforms scoop it all up— about 80% of search results are paid ads. I tried Bing Ads in the first months of my appliance repair business, and the results were very bad. We were barely profitable with Google Ads at that time. Now that we’re close to 10% of our ad budget, I plan to try Bing Ads again. With Google Ads, we currently have around 20% impression share in our main service areas, and we have the capacity to scale. P.S. In the screenshot, you can see 3 of the largest Austin-based HVAC companies and 2 nationwide lead gen websites (from the same owner).

@itsolelehmann Austin TX Still business and hustle, less show off, very family oriented

I still don't know where I belong I feel disconnected from the hedonistic anti-capitalistic way of living in cities like Berlin but I also don't like the status and wealth flex games of the US (like miami) or places like dubai I'm pro-family but most modern conservatives seem way too close-minded and judgmental to me I love talking about business but I hate people who only think about their bank account number go up I'm very into health but I think most health nerds are way to obsessed and extremist, making them unhealthy in a weird way too but still, step by step I try to build my friendships and ecosystem around me that share my values and it's more people than I initially thought posting content is a great way to slowly over time connect with people who are weird like you

@tedcruz @TuckerCarlson Same it was about Ukraine half a year ago. He says what he is paid for at this current moment.

Wow. Why does @TuckerCarlson seem to care more about Israel than any other country on earth? Since our interview, he & his show have referenced Israel 14.82 times EVERY SINGLE DAY. Is there something particular about Israel that he really, really dislikes?

@AlexWri35213412 @Codie_Sanchez Nope, while we were dropping off our luggage to walk around, the receptionist checked if the room was ready and said the previous guests had checked out just five minutes earlier, so they needed an hour to brush it up and we were welcome to go ahead and use the room.

@pragmichael @Codie_Sanchez Or maybe no one stayed in the room the night before....

Life hack... You never have to check out of a hotel. Just leave. Why does no one do this including my husband?

@_ProfitPath It’s important though to do a video screening via a tool like @1wayInterview Photo in CV may be misleading and you want to test the language and presentation skills anyway

hired a russian model for Zoom calls our close rate jumped 43% but only when she said absolutely nothing here's how we discovered sales psychology's dark secret: client kept rescheduling calls always "too busy" classic time-waster my sales guy was frustrated "let me try something weird" next call: gorgeous blonde sitting behind him just... existing filing her nails client joined immediately engaged closed in 12 minutes $8,400 deal what the fuck?!?!?! tested it 50 more times: - with model: 67% close rate - without model: 24% close rate the psychology is primal: men's brains short-circuit "if beautiful woman is there, this must be important" "if beautiful woman works for him, he must be successful" "if I say no, I look poor in front of beautiful woman" status by association is undefeated here's the system: 1. CASTING: - Eastern European (accent adds mystery) - Business casual (not too much) - Disinterested expression (crucial) - NEVER speaks (ruins the illusion) 2. POSITIONING: - "This is Natalia from our European office" - She "takes notes" (plays candy crush) - Occasionally laughs at your jokes - Leaves early "for another meeting" 3. FOLLOW-UP: - She sends the invoice - She sends the contract - She sends "thank you for joining us" - They pay faster every time we took it further: demo calls: model in background support calls: different model quarterly reviews: two models payment collections: angry model the results: - demos → sales: up 43% - support tickets: down 62% - payment speed: 3.2 days faster - client retention: up 8 months average ethical? who gives a fuck effective? the numbers don't lie now we run a whole division: "Baddies for Business Calls" $500 per call booked through Q2 your competition is using models you're still using powerPoints guess who's winning? we live in a simulation anyway might as well exploit the cheat codes i have over 15 models all from eastern europe all hot as shit all ready to work dm me "baddies" and i'll show you how we can implement them into your biz

@illyism Onewayinterview.com

Want the kind of SEO strategy I usually charge $5K for? I’ll roast your site (Blitz SEO style) on YouTube, 3 winners this week. Drop your URL for DM 👇

When I meet early stage founders who obsess with naming of their startup or developing visual identity before any sales I like to remind them the most successful domain registrar is called “Go Daddy” This guy is soon to be unicorn btw 👇

@DavidSacks Dude every other mention of America on their national tv is about how stupid people are or how new unparalleled weapon creating by some drunk russian guy would wipe it off the face of earth. Wake up - you are either extremely delusional or are paid by russians. Both are sad.

Russians are not our enemy. We shouldn’t be helping to kill them.

Excessive sugar, please! When I moved from Europe a while back, the first thing I noticed about the food here was how much sugar is in everything! Sweets are way sweeter than in Europe—which doesn’t actually make them taste better, just more sugary—and that part is kind of expected. But even bacon, ketchup, bread—everything was surprisingly sweet. I’m afraid this is exactly what’s fueling the diabetes epidemic in our country. We try hard to find healthy food, but it’s tough to shield my kid from this full-on sugar overload when all her friends are eating it too.

Food dyes have finally been put on notice, decades too late. What's next? Seed oils High fructose corn syrup Glyphosate spraying Chemtrails Speak up America! MAHA

@ericzakariasson @ericzakariasson Add more modes for planning and plan extensively before executing: x.com/pragmichael/st…

what are some other things to consider?

get a lot of questions on how to use @cursor_ai in large codebases and monorepos. while it depends™, here are some tips and tricks

I use `o4-mini` for planning/debugging tasks and `gpt-4.1` for execution Works like charm!

```focus You must only make changes that are directly requested/outlined in a plan. Do not change UI unless directly asked to. Do not create functionality that you were not directly requested to OR that is not explicitly required for you to accomplish the current task. Focus on current task/plan only.```

Why people are silent on Cursor modes? A few months ago, the "thinking" models came out - very powerful but hard to control. I even saw a post today from @marclou that resonated with a lot of people. But there is a simple way to fix it: cursor modes 👇 x.com/marc_louvion/s…
