I’ve been attempting to set up a side business for a while now. It’s a popular concept in many cities and I figured it’s got a large repeatability factor across competitors. What I mean by this is a consumer can try one company and would be willing to try another.

It’s an interactive treasure hunt based in London. It provides a team of people with a story to follow around London, being guided to puzzles to solve and chance to stop off at some of London cool pubs.

Issue I’m having is despite paying for traffic, my conversion is zero…I can give access away for free but trying to make money off it seems to be impossible. I’ve tried changing my marketing, adapting the price but I’m having no luck….

My main ad channel is Facebook and Instagram, I haven’t used an influencer. My ad spend, I would admit is low…circa £200 across 5 targeted days but I can’t afford much more than this.

I can’t link the URL on here as moderators will remove the post

I've noticed that on some reddit threads, especially new ones, there are already a bunch of replies almost instantly after the post goes up. How does that actually work? Are people just refreshing constantly or are there tools that alert them right away? Would be interesting to understand how people get there so fast.

Hey guys,

As I've posted earlier about having my facebook, Instagram, and Linkedin account getting restricted or suspended while reaching out to businesses in the US as I own an agency and we've started reaching out to our niche businesses but it's been weeks I'm frustrated by seeing my aged accounts getting "confirm your identity" issue on the Facebook, and "suspended" on Instagram and "account restricted" on Linkedin which have really slowed our outreach process man.

I have 5 systems, and in all 5 pcs, I have multiple browsers with 2 social accounts - I've warmed them up and carefully tried outreaching, but at the moment we drop the message - we get these messages, and we then buy new aged accounts and so on.

I've recently tried with anti-detect software (gologin) available by using residential proxies listed on them, but with them, my accounts were directly getting suspended in seconds so time wasted!

I've read alot and people are saying it's an IP thing and some are saying not warmed up - so anyone dealing with this and successfully outreaching businesses, what can I do to save my accounts and stop getting suspended or restricted on my PCs?

I need effective way to easily get away with this issue and easily start using my aged accounts.

Note: also suggest any free VPN that I can use to operate multiple PCs without any disruption if the connection get lost in between.

Let me know!

Thanks!

Trying to understand what actually matters in real work. If you had to pick one skill that helped you start getting clients or job offers faster, What would it be?

I see a lot of people using AI to create content for marketing and promotion.
But does it really help in getting sales?

Hi! Anyone need help getting all their data into one place?

Connecting GA4/adobe to ad platforms is tough, but I can help!

Curious how teams are thinking about GEO (optimizing for ChatGPT, AI Overviews, etc.) in a practical sense.

Across SEO, content, and brand, it feels like there’s overlap but not a clear playbook that brands are using.

• Are you treating GEO as an extension of SEO, or as a separate channel altogether?
• Which functions are owning it internally (SEO, content, brand, PR)?
• What kind of changes are you actually making: content structure, distribution, messaging?
• How are you even thinking about measurement or attribution here?

Would be great to hear how different orgs are approaching this.

I have come across some postings wherein companies want are highly relying on AI apps, workflows to manage their whole marketing operation and only want one marketing person to basically review stuff.

I am curious as to the success factor of operations like this and the work environment or working nature of the bosses. is this going to be a norm? these are definitely startups but i find the ask ridiculous. An example of god-level candidate wanted is here:

This is a Head of Marketing operating model inside a lean-team structure. You own the entire marketing function: strategy, content, SEO, events, partner co-marketing, and brand, and you run most of it through AI-powered workflows and agentic automation rather than headcount.

The bar is high: you need to zoom from annual content strategy to line-level copy review to prompting a new automation pipeline - and know which mode each situation calls for. We move in sprints, ship fast, and never let perfect be the enemy of good.

Tasks

• AI content engine: Design, prompt, and maintain agentic pipelines that produce LinkedIn content for founders, blog posts, and SEO copy at scale. You set direction and review quality - AI does the production. This is already partially built; you evolve and own it.
• Account-based marketing support: Align the content calendar with live pipeline priorities & outbound campaigns. Brief assets for key accounts. Make sure sales has what it needs, when it needs it - not generic collateral.
• SEO and inbound: Own organic growth. Blog strategy, keyword targeting, distribution playbook, conversion path optimisation. AI produces content at speed; your judgment ensures it converts.
• Brand and thought leadership: Evolve the Retail Spotlight podcast into a content ecosystem. Ghostwrite and direct founder voice content. Build refive's presence as the authoritative voice on in-store customer engagement in Europe.
• Events and field: Manage trade-fair participation (NRF, EuroShop, RTS London and similar) - logistics, pre/post content, lead capture workflows.
• Partner co-marketing: Work with partner management to develop joint campaigns and launch materials with white-label and integration partners as the pipeline scales.
• Metrics and reporting: Own the automated weekly marketing dashboard (GA4, HubSpot, LinkedIn). Know your numbers. Flag what is not working before anyone asks.

Requirements

• 6-8 years of B2B SaaS or tech marketing experience, with real ownership - not just execution support.
• You have run campaigns end to end and have results to show.
• Fluent, flawless native spokend and written english
• Agentic automation fluency. You have built or designed workflows using tools like Claude Code, n8n, Make, Zapier, or similar. You are comfortable prompting LLMs for structured outputs and wiring them into repeatable pipelines. This is not a nice-to-have it is how this role operates day to day.
• Strategic range with execution instinct. You can write a marketing plan in the morning and review a CTA in the afternoon. You know when to go deep and when to move on.
• Content quality instinct. You can tell the difference between AI-generated content that performs and content that just sounds like it was AI-generated. You write well yourself - sharp, no fluff, B2B-appropriate.
• Modern mindset, not stuck in old-school playbooks. Curious about what new tools can do, comfortable with ambiguity, willing to try things that have no case study yet - but experienced enough to know what good looks like and push back when a shortcut will cost you later.
• HubSpot and GA4 proficiency. You track what matters and use data to change direction, not validate decisions already made.
• Retail or martech experience is a genuine plus — if you understand how brick-and-mortar retailers think about footfall, loyalty, and first-party data, you will ramp faster and produce better work.
• One or more European language skills are a significant bonus given our primary market. But not a must have.

Hey folks just wanted to share a workflow that actually works right now if you are starting from zero.

Before I was completely stuck. I was posting daily but my reach was basically dead. The truth is the current algorithm completely buries small free accounts. Posting into the void does nothing.

After I realized I had to stop broadcasting and start engaging. I began hunting for viral threads in my niche and spent hours manually connecting with the active people in the comments. Because these people were actually online and engaging my follow back rate skyrocketed.

The manual grind got exhausting though. Luckily I stumbled across a new browser extension called ReplyPilot that automates this exact targeted outreach. It filters those viral threads and naturally connects with the active humans while completely mimicking a real person browsing to keep the account safe.

It even has a Farm Feed feature entirely unlimited for free users to naturally warm up your account trust score. If anyone wants to test this organic growth workflow you can just search for ReplyPilot directly on the Chrome or Edge web store.

Hi

I recently built a free tool that extracts businesses from Google Maps along with validated email addresses. Right now, I'm looking for people who can try it out and share feedback - mainly whether the data quality is actually useful for lead generation compared to other tools.

Current Features:

Fetch businesses based on rating (e.g., less than or more than 3 stars)

Fetch reviews from within specific years

Find businesses with a low review count

Find Businesses without a website

Extract negative reviews from businesses

I'd love to know if this gives you valuable results or if something feels missing.

Buying

Hey,

Been thinking about this recently because growing from zero is honestly tough. I've seen people suggest buying a small amount of followers just to get some initial traction.

But I'm confused about where people actually go for this. Every site claims ""real followers,"" but it's hard to trust any of them.

If you've tried it before, did you find any service that felt safe? Or would you say it's better to avoid it completely?

Hey all! I’m an SEO specialist and I'm trying to bring a SEO tool API into my workflow to cut down on manual checks and reporting.

I mainly need something useful for rankings, audits, and competitor research without turning it into a dev project.

What are you guys actually using and what’s been worth testing?

hello,

i help business to get leads at highly discounted rate.

Lead quality: High, exceptional (not shared)

Need targeted location, titles and industry

thinking about this a lot lately after we made some changes to how we run SMS for our store

we used to send campaigns constantly and just accepted that some people would unsub. thought it was just normal churn

switched things up a few months back and started being way more selective about when we send. leaned harder into the automated flows and pulled back on the manual blasts

unsubscribe rate dropped noticeably. like within the first few weeks

the weird part is revenue from the channel stayed pretty consistent. expected it to dip but it didnt really

using TxtCart which pushes you toward that flows first approach anyway so maybe the platform had something to do with it but honestly think the bigger thing was just sending less

curious if anyone else has tested this or if its just our situation

Buying leads or running campaigns in a regulatory framework - uk / aus savings so financial sector - we are a broker that help clients find the best rates on the market - anyone with some financial sector lead gen send me a DM

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately because growing a page the normal way can feel painfully slow, even when the content is decent and you stay consistent.

What keeps making me curious is how much people seem to judge a page by the numbers before they even look at the content. A low follower count and low views can make a page look dead, even when the posts are actually solid. That’s why I get why people look into buying Instagram followers, likes, and views, at least in small amounts.

I’m not talking about trying to look famous overnight or buying some ridiculous package. I mean more like a small boost for social proof so the page looks a bit more active and established.

My only concern is whether it still works without causing problems. I’ve seen people say it helped their page look more credible at first, but I’ve also seen people say it killed their reach because the delivery was too fast or the engagement looked fake.

So I’m curious what real people have experienced with this.

• Did buying Instagram followers, likes, and views actually help your page at all, or did it just inflate the numbers without doing anything useful?
• Did it hurt your reach later on?
• And does keeping it small and gradual really make that much of a difference?

I’d rather hear honest experiences than the usual copy pasted advice from random websites.

Im trying to start my marketing agency and I figured I should start with a portfolio first but I realized after asking a lot of people, they seem to reject me even if it is free lol

Any advice?

I’ve been trying to use Reddit as part of our digital marketing strategy, mainly for organic traffic and feedback.

Shared a case study it blew up pretty quickly then got removed and I was banned shortly after.

What’s confusing is I followed the rules (at least from what I understood) and the sub even had a relevant flair.

Now I’m wondering if Reddit just doesn’t like anything that even feels like self-promotion, even if it’s valuable.

For those using Reddit for lead generation or content distribution how are you doing it without getting shut down?
