YES. No matter what people say or have said online, you do not want to do this for a URL. It isn't just about looking odd or bad, it causes issues with people mistyping and isn't good for SEO purposes. Like Dave mentioned, use a dash instead if you have to.

I didn't see anyone recommend any so I pulled up a list for you. These are all free as well. Sucuri Security: Offers malware scanning, file integrity monitoring, and easy-to-apply security hardening features like hiding the WordPress version and securing the uploads folder. WT Hardening: A lightweight, modular plugin that applies hardening measures (such as hiding the WP version, limiting logins, and disabling file editing) without modifying theme or config files. SiteLock Security: Provides ready-to-apply WordPress-specific hardening toggles, login hygiene enforcement, and off-server cloud checks via a free account. SolidWP Security (formerly iThemes Security): Includes features like forcing strong passwords, hiding the login URL, and disabling XML-RPC to harden the site against intrusion. WP Hardening was the main one but was discontinued and no longer supported since 2024.

Someone in my family did lead work for years via telemarketing. She worked from home and would call companies for a business in order to get contracts. This is the only form of it I am aware of or have knowledge on.

I know someone that works in the dental field and there are some advancements there. Apparently AI is going to help in this sector in the coming years with new advancements.

I think you guys are overlooking the big players. Amazon, Netflix, eBay, Spotify, and Etsy are all examples of the long tail model. Each company profits via low-volume of products but selling a lot of them.

I don't know. I think manual linking is still valuable if you know what you are doing but running ads is great for small businesses. Not everyone sells products though so running ads for a site that doesn't actually sell anything seems like a waste.

Personally, not that I have noticed but I am sure it has somewhere. I think it impacts everything after sometime. Everything is double what it was just 5 years ago. The prices started going up in 2021.

I am seeing Christmas stuff already, it is not even October yet! I feel like some companies push too hard too fast. As for sales and marketing, I don't think Christmas stuff should start until a week or so before Thanksgiving. For sure not earlier than November. I think 6 weeks prior to the holiday is a good measurement of time.

I have only done this at an office store that does printing and copying. I have not gotten any made online. Of the ones people have mentioned, Zazzle and Vistaprint are the two I have heard of and have known people to have used them. I just don't know the costs or anything.

I only do the standard stock investments for retirement. My husband does this as well, has a 401K through his company. I am not informed enough to be trading on my own! haha

I don't but I probably should. I have messed up my finances a few times because I had forgotten to pay a bill or two. If I have it set for auto-withdrawal, I wouldn't have to worry about it but I would need a separate account for something like that just to be safe.

This is true too. I know sales do usually lead to more sales but I have heard of many people saying even with sales, they don't see any increase. If you want to get an idea of deals and what to offer , just look at the emails you get from companies and what sorts of sales they offer.

Now my question is... Can you make an app without paying? It seems like the big LLMs all require a monthly membership to actually make really cool stuff with them. I would be interested in trying to make stuff with AI just for fun.

The good news about this though is that we won't have to deal with talking to people in other countries that we can't even understand! lol I can't tell you how many times that happened to me and I get so frustrated.

AI is a bit different from other things and panics of the past. We never had a system that could remove THIS many jobs. I mean I am even worried. I know a number of people that are. I just don't know where everything is heading which makes me more nervous. My husband works in the tech industry too and I worry about him being replaced.
