That is Quora. I tried using that site before but had no such luck. Thanks for all your replies guys, I am going to set up a new account later today and see what I can do with it. I hope it helps boost traffic!

A friend of mine sells handmade items and has recently started getting a lot more sales out of nowhere. She is struggling to keep up. Is there and easy to use tool (preferably one that is free!) to help her manage this sort of thing? I know a lot of tools are paid for but I figured I would ask. I was thinking of just making one for her using AI but I am still very much clueless when it comes to how to do such a thing. I have to look into it more.

Yes, or just a standard card with a website link, brand, and maybe a discount code. You can do all sorts of things. Even on a budget, you can just print out information on paper instead of using cards.

So the traffic has gone up and I do get some clicks from X but it took awhile and I believe 50% of the traffic coming from X are bots or AI. I am not entire sure. The posts I make only average maybe 300 views and I think I get 5 to 10 clicks so nothing substantial yet.

Great, thanks! I was curious as I was seeing people use Claude to make apps and browser tools. I would be interested in making a browser tool. I will have to look into it more!

There are aspects of it that I don't like but I see the benefits outweighing the risks and issues. So I don't really have strong feelings about it. It is going to be a part of our lives moving forward whether we like it or not. It reminds of the mid to late '90s when people were talking about the internet. Saying it was a waste of time. Others saying it was dangerous. People talking about it taking jobs away. Everything they are saying about AI now and look where we are with it all these years later!

If you want more people to shop, focus on building word of mouth marketing. A friend of mine used to run a small etsy shop and she never marketed it. She just made it so her items were giftable and always included cards with her orders. This build a client base of people coming back for multiple occasions and holidays as well as increased new customers month after month.

I have seen people talking about this more now that you mention it. I guess it can be annoying when you are trying to avoid ads and the people you follow for news or whatever keep promoting the same stuff. I don't mind people doing cause I would do the same if I had a platform to earn from!

I would be interested in this app! If you end up putting it on an app store, let me know. Were you using Claude for this? I was watching a video of someone making an app a few days ago using this system and it is impressive!

There are a few accounts I follow on there that focus on nature and animals and they do really well! One of them isn't verified and they seem to have at least 2 posts a day that get well over 100k views with lots of interactions. I just started using it a few days ago. I figured I would sign up and see what the fuss is about.

I had completely forgotten about Pinterest. I used it many years ago but it appears to still be a popular website for many things. A friend of mind was talking about her friend using it to plan a wedding and buy stuff and then I remembered you can share links on there alongside pictures. Has anyone used this platform in recent years and had success with boosting traffic?

I will think on this and try to come up with something, see if it makes a difference. Thank you! I just wish I had done this all from the start!

Lifestyle is a good one. Think of things that people either want to become a part of, incorporate into their lives, better their lives, or learn something new to add to them.

It depends. It depends on the project I have in mind. If it is for earnings or fun. How long I intend on keeping the domain. I tend to spend around $20 max but I never want to go overboard spending tons of money on different domains every year so I try to keep most of them under the $10 mark. Many of the domains I have cost me just $5 a year.

I thought this might be the case, that I missed my window. I don't know why I skipped this either. It is one of the main recommendations when you first start building a website. I'll have to figure something out now.
