Have you looked into your hosting? If your site is running on a slow server, it can bottleneck everything and no matter what you do for your website, it will remain slow. I would start there before you do anything else and end up wasting time.

Really anything tied to AI at the moment. Look at what Elon Musk's company is doing with his brain chip stuff. Anything like that. I think it is fair to say that as AI advances, our medical industry and health industry as a whole is going to change a lot!

I don't want to flat out say it is manipulation but a lot of marketing and sales tactics are when you strip away the paint... I am just trying to see what has been proven to work. There have been decades of ads and general advertisements being run and people understand how to better pitch and sell a product to a possible customer. So when it comes to this stuff, which tactics tend to work the best in this modern era?

Inflation has uprooted my plans a number of times now. Not just with my business ideas, growth, etc. but in my own day to day life! Absolutely, this is where I noticed it first. The cost of my food was going up every other month since 2021.

I don't always stay on top of my updates and I know I run a massive risk of being hacked. So I wanted to see what options I had. I was looking around and I saw some people on another forum mention hardening plugins. Now I have no idea what these are or where to even begin looking for them. Can someone explain to me what they are, what they do, and which ones are best? I would like to get one going if possible this weekend.

I think starting in October is fine but if you want some sales for Halloween (depending on what you sell) I would start next week. It all comes down to what kind of business you run and if you sell products or services.

That is what I am trying to figure out. I know not everyone having creators/streamers selling stuff is coming from a big business. I will have to keep researching it.

I would not bother with Rumble unless you already have a following or you are in the political niche. You won't get anywhere on that platform in terms of growth. Just stick with YouTube.

I have only ever used GotPrint when it comes to online card print places. There are local places that are cheaper and faster which is why I don't bother with looking for online printing places anymore.

Only recently. I made a second account just for business stuff. This also ties in with personal projects. I feel it has been a lot easier to see where my money is going now.

Does anyone here do 5-year planning? I was told yo do this a number of times but never actually done it. It is just a means of planning ahead for your career/work, budgeting, goals, etc. I am considering doing a 5-year plan for myself to see if I can reach some goals. I am not getting any younger and I feel like I waste so much time just thinking on things instead of doing them!

This is how most people approach it and it is the safest form of stock investing. Unless you have the money to hire someone to manage stocks and trades for you personally, this is the second best option. Most people do not have the time or know-how to do proper investments.

The paid versions will always be the better versions. You can look up videos on YouTube to compare versions. It is nuts what the latest ones can do!

I will tell you when I first signed up, I was lucky to get 5 views on anything. Now I am averaging around 500 views no matter what I post. It isn't much but at least I know my stuff is being seen. A few posts I have made have gotten recommended. The most recent is sitting at 120k views. If you want these kinds of numbers, you have to be active on your account. Make at least 5 posts a day and reply to other people's posts, especially if it is someone that you follow that also follows you.

I think it is best to focus on what works best for mobile since most people access the internet on their phones now. So look at single-column formats that focus on having a branded header with a clear headline. Break down everything in the newsletter into blocks or sections so have a clean visual look that guides the reader to a footer with links. As for links, do not over-stuff them. Use 3 to 7 or so links.
