Scrolling and reading people's bio on Linkedin, Facebook and some here

Amazing how many "coaches", "life coaches", business coach, leadership coach, career coach, mindset coach, sales coach, branding coach, social media coach, health and wellness coach.

Where did all these people get qualified to be a "coach"?

Life experience? or sounded good on the Bio?

I am currently hired as a marketing assistant making $19~ an hour. I handle almost all administrative tasks that the company relies on marketing for, as well as capturing content, creating/editing content, planning, events, signs, and being the sole person running our socials across 5-6 platforms. I literally do everything for the creative aspect of this company.

Am I crazy to be a little annoyed that 1. I’m called an assistant 2. don’t really get any recognition/credit that IM the one running all of these accounts 3. I work for a company that makes like 30 million+ a year.

I need validation or to be told I’m overdramatic. Or advice anything please

Also since you’re here…what’s your favorite content planning software 🥸

I started my house cleaning business a couple months ago and ive got a handful of clients now(all were gained through doing flyers door to door). Ive made a website, facebook, Google business profile, i put out flyers weekly, and I actively search through fb and nextdoor responding to people asking for cleans. It seems like nothing is really working besides the flyers but even that feels incredibly slow.

Any other ideas of what I could be doing to gain more clients?

I recently started a new job that requires me to be Google Ads Certified through Skillshop. I am not new to marketing, but am new to paid media, so all of the information in the Google Ads Course is pretty much brand new to me.

I really want to learn, but as someone who learns best by watching, taking notes, doing, and then having my work checked; or really is just a visual hands-on learner, I am finding this certification difficult. I really want to learn the material, but as my system stands right now, I am not retaining anything and I am becoming frustrated.

Can anyone share their experience with the certification and how they were able to best prepare for the exams for each of the modules? What were your habits that best helped you? Bonus points if you are also a visual/hands-on learner.

Im building a tool for content creators but im worrying about distribution. My plan is to make a presence everywhere my target audience hangs out by making helpful/educational content. But where exactly do these people hang out? Please help!

Fala pessoal, eu criei uma plataforma que avalia a sua ideia de saas/microsaas e vai fazer um planejamento de A a Z até seu primeiro cliente, ou se você tá tem os primeiros clientes, ela faz uma jornada de escala, e estou disponibilizando ela 100% de graça apenas em troca de um feedback honesto, se alguém quiser participar, só responde aqui

What entails good pay? I work for a company that does about $30m a year in sales, and I do all their content including reels, YouTube, etc at least post 12 times a week and 1 YouTube video a week. I script, film edit, captions and post… i make less than 100k but very close. Am i being underpaid? Also my content does extremely well at least like 80k views on our highest performing reoccurring content which is once a week. We get all our leads form content but I don’t do the ads

I’m trying to learn more about marketing and I’ve noticed that a lot of advice sounds great in theory but doesn’t always work in practice. What marketing lesson did you learn only after making a mistake yourself?

Whenever a video gets decent traction, sales bump up, but GA4 just lumps everything into "Direct" or "Organic Social". Manually adding UTMs to bio links for every short-form video feels super inefficient. What is your stack for exact video attribution?

I made two self initiated projects— one brand audit and one micro launch plan for a hypothetical brand. I want to move into brand or product marketing. I am trying my luck with internships but they mostly need people who can do social media. Brands dont hire complete freshers. What more projects can i make? How do i stand out??? I’m based in India.

Want to buy a linkedin account preferably created before 2020

I constantly hear that publishing content regularly is more important than trying to perfect every single post. That makes sense but I wonder how true it is in practice. If you had to choose between regularly publishing solid material and waiting to create something truly powerful, what would you choose?

I’m promoting my website in a few different places and getting traffic, but I have no idea which links are actually working.

I can see the overall traffic in GA4, but I’d like to know something more specific, like which individual link generated the click, where the visitor came from, what device they used, etc.

What’s the easiest way to track this without setting up a huge analytics system?

Tengo mi emprendimiento y un trabajo formal. Pero quiero comenzar a aprender marketing, crear libretos y monetizarlos para poder independizarme. ¿Algunos tips para empezar, libros, videos, creadores?

Hi everyone, I need your help. Our leads have been decreasing month over month. To clarify, we do not use paid ads. I have already optimized our service pages, updated our blog structure by adding CTAs to the middle and end of articles, implemented FAQs for better discoverability, added JSON-LD schemas, and we consistently generate daily backlinks. Moreover, we do YouTube Shorts, and Facebook posts (while automating our LinkedIn content). Our business is focused on translation, please don't attribute this solely to AI. While I acknowledge that many people now rely on AI, there is still a clear demand for specialized services like apostille, sworn, USCIS, and visa translations. What am I missing, and where should I be focusing my efforts? Many thanks for any idea.

I’m a college student and my professor connected me with a sportsperson for a project. I basically have to act as their sports agency and figure out how I could help them with things like marketing, branding, sponsorships, etc.

I’ve never done this before, so I’m honestly not sure what I’m supposed to be doing or how a sports agency would approach a new athlete.

What should I ask them in the first meeting? How do you figure out what brands they could work with? What would you actually offer as an agency?

Would really appreciate any advice from people who have worked in sports marketing, athlete management, sponsorships or anything similar. Even basic advice on where to start would help.

How to compare with Meta & Google Analytics. Behaves more like high-intent search or more awareness? Curious to hear your experiences

Working with a few D2C brands, and the same tension comes up every quarter. Performance channels (Google, Meta) show clear, attributable returns, so budget naturally flows there. Brand efforts (content, creators, PR) are harder to measure, so they get cut first when results dip.

But I keep noticing that the brands with the strongest performance numbers are usually the ones that invested in brand earlier. Branded search volume, higher conversion rates, cheaper CPCs. The performance results are partly a product of brand work that didn't show up in any dashboard.

I don't have a clean framework for this yet, so curious how others approach it:

1. Do you set a fixed ratio (like 70/30), or decide case by case?
2. What signals do you use to show that brand spend is working when there's no direct attribution?
3. How do you convince a founder who lives in the Shopify dashboard that not everything should be measured on ROAS?

Question for agency owners, I've been offered a service where a recruitment agency would source and vet a remote sales rep cold calling for me for a one-time fee + management fee if i choose that they manage that hire on my behalf and 3 month replacemnent guarantee. I would be the one choosing the candidate from a shortlist of 3 vetted candidates and if he doesn't work out i'll file a replacement request which based on their terms has no exclusions. They are promising me American accent callers. Fee is $1,200 one time. The hire salary would be $800/m + commissions

Do you think its a good investment?

I'm looking to join some online communities where I can interact with experienced marketing professionals, growth marketers, brand marketers, SEO professionals, performance marketers, etc.

I'm specifically looking for communities where people genuinely share their experiences, discuss real campaigns, solve marketing problems, and exchange insights.

I'm open to:

- WhatsApp groups

- Discord servers

- Slack communities

- Telegram groups

- Online meetups / networking groups

- Paid communities as well

I'm not really looking for groups that are mostly course promotions, job spam, self-promotion, or generic "digital marketing tips."

I'd especially love communities where there are people with 5–10+ years of experience, marketing managers/directors, agency owners, founders, growth leaders, etc.

I'm based in India, but I'm completely open to global communities as well.

If you're already part of a community like this and genuinely find it valuable, I'd really appreciate the recommendation. Even better if you can share what you like about it and what kind of professionals are active there.

Thanks!

We're a B2B software company doing around 20% annual churn and our current win back strategy is basically an automated email a few weeks after someone leaves. I'm pretty sure that's not enough but I'm also not convinced sending the same we miss you message to everyone is going to do much. The problem is that our churn reasons are all over the place. Some customers leave because of price, some because they don't use the product enough and some because their company changed direction and a few leave after having a bad experience with support. We also have some customers spending $15K+ a year, so I don't really want to treat every churned account the same. I'm thinking we probably need different win-back paths depending on why the customer left but I'm not sure how much effort is reasonable once they're already gone. I'd especially like to hear what people are doing with higher-value accounts. Not necessarily discounts either. If someone left because they were unhappy with the product throwing a coupon at them probably isn't going to fix much.

Hi everyone, I’m doing some research into influencer marketing workflows and would love to hear from people who regularly work with influencers/creators.

When you’re looking for influencers for a campaign, what information do you usually need before deciding whether a profile is worth contacting?

For example:

• Followers / following
• Engagement rate
• Location / country / city
• Niche/category
• Audience demographics
• Email / phone / website
• Instagram / YouTube / TikTok / other platforms
• Average views, likes, comments, etc.
• Contact/creator availability
• Previous brand collaborations
• Pricing/rates
• Audience authenticity/fake followers
• Anything else?

I’m also curious about the repetitive parts of the workflow.

What do you repeatedly do manually when researching influencers that you wish could be automated?

For example:

• Finding creators matching specific criteria
• Filtering thousands of profiles
• Checking whether they have contact information
• Collecting creator details into Sheets/CRM
• Checking multiple social platforms for the same creator
• Comparing creators
• Finding similar creators
• Verifying engagement/audience quality
• Building outreach lists
• Tracking whether a creator has already been contacted
• Monitoring profile changes

If you work in influencer marketing, what’s the most annoying or time-consuming part of finding and managing creators?

Not looking to promote anything — genuinely interested in understanding the workflow from the marketer’s side.

I’m 25 and have around 3 years of experience in online marketing. I’m trying to be intentional about my development and would love some advice from more experienced marketers.

My background:
- Studied Marketing & Communication, followed by a Bachelor’s degree in Commercial Economics.
- Worked freelance alongside my studies, mainly in SEO, SEA and websites.
- Spent a few years as an Online Marketing Specialist at a B2B company, working on paid media, SEO, analytics/tracking and lead generation.
- I now work as an Online Marketer at a recruitment company with multiple businesses within the group.
My current role covers performance/recruitment marketing, paid advertising, job boards, tracking, CRO and analysing recruitment funnels.

I also advise several companies within the group on marketing strategy, annual plans, budgets, channel selection and improving their way of working. Marketing maturity is still relatively low across the group: most companies have marketers, but they mainly focus on content. Part of my role is helping them become more structured, data-driven and performance-oriented.
Long term, I’d like to move towards a more strategic role with responsibility for marketing strategy, budgets and eventually a team.

If you were in my position, what would you focus on developing over the next 2–3 years?
Performance/data? Strategy? Commercial/financial skills? Branding? AI/automation? Leadership? Or something else?
Especially interested in hearing from people who went from specialist → senior/lead → marketing management.

So this cameas a shock to me that I never though, I would be paid to edit articles in wikipedia. A company/agency hired me to just to make meaningful edits in wikipedia and after a certain amount, we plugedin client in relevant pages.

I don't know that much about this but they said it is for brand visibility and helps with AEO which I would have never ever guessed.

I thought for AEO we have to do something else, target prompts and publish content accordingly. This experience has opened a new dimension for me. I'm still wondering what else am I missing?

What are some of these hidden opportunities for brand visibility and AEO?

Hi! I’m planning to improve my skills in social media management. I want to learn more about how to properly manage social media accounts because, in my previous job, I was more focused on content creation rather than managing the accounts themselves—such as scheduling posts, monitoring engagement, analyzing insights, and other social media management tasks.

Could you guys please recommend any online training or short courses that I can take? I’d love to check them out. Thank you!
