Client: “We have a $5 daily budget. Can we outrank Coca-Cola?”
Me: “Absolutely. If we also buy them out.”

Every time I hear “$5/day” and “world domination” in the same sentence, I shed a single marketer’s tear. Who else has faced these ambitious budgets?

I was a civil engineer unemployed for 3 years. Then I completed a MERN stack JavaScript bootcamp and became unemployed in two different fields. This gives you the impression that you are the one who failed, which can complicate things and significantly affect your self-confidence.

Hey, I’d appreciate advice from fellow eCom email marketing agency founders.

So I recently transitioned from a freelance carrier and currently run a small email & SMS marketing agency specializing in eCommerce.

I struggle a little bit with my pricing. My target audience are 7 and 8-figure brands. I generally target the US market.

I offer two services: flow setup and ongoing monthly email & SMS management which mostly comes down to creating and sending campaigns, optimizing the account ane reporting (monthly retainer)

Speaking of the monthly retainer, what would be a reasonable price to charge 7 and 8-figure brands?

Should I price my retainers differently for 7 and 8-figure brands? Or keep them the same for everyone?

I know this depends on the amount of monthy campaigns sent and whether they also want SMS or not but I’d appreciate some guidance.

Hi marketers I’m working for a brand in UAE with a decent marketing budget. We’ve come up with a new product range for genz and the company finally wants to work seriously on building a brand for this range rather than just trade to distributors globally. We’re kind of big (500 million AED / year rev ) and we’ve finalised the product and brand idea. Put yourself in my shoes if possibly and help me out with some agencies which can take over social media management , digital marketing , events , and campaigns on other channels like tv for example. We’re looking at a global player for a global audience which can understand the brand. If you want to pitch your own agencies, pls go ahead and provide links if possible for your best work.

Thank you!

Looking for suggestions for engaged and nerdy digital marketing trainers on YouTube

I want to use my prior experience in teaching Java and English to re-enter the teaching workforce. I'm currently a copywriter. Want to teach training classes locally (in Pune, India)

The problem is I'm so far out of teaching. I haven't taught anything since 2016. So I'll be resuming training after 8 years

I'm excited and willing, just need some examples to wind me up and warm up my skills.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

I recently started a new Instagram account. I completed my profile, switched to a professional account, and checked off all the steps they recommend. I’ve posted a reel, a few videos (since they usually get better engagement), and a carousel post. Yet, I’m seeing zero reach; no views, nothing at all.

How do I grow when no one even sees my content? I’ve worked hard on my posts, crafted engaging captions, and even interacted with other accounts by following, liking, and commenting.

Previously, I managed an Instagram account for a beauty e-commerce store. The owner had a subscription to The Creatives Clubhouse, a program that provides digital marketing resources for businesses in the beauty industry. It offered templates, trending topics, and content strategies tailored to beauty brands, which helped drive great engagement and results. Unfortunately, my new account isn’t in the beauty niche, so I can’t use those resources.

What are the best strategies to get initial traction on a brand-new page? How do new accounts grow organically?

How does the ease of use and cost-effectiveness of Popular Pays compare with Afluencer's marketplace model for small businesses?

So, picture this: It’s 2 AM, I’m half-asleep, wrapping up a campaign for a client, and I decide to tweak the ad budget. Instead of setting $100 per day, my overtired brain decides $1 is the perfect number.

Did I double-check it? Of course not. I hit Save and passed out, dreaming of flawless ROAS and skyrocketing conversions.

Fast forward to the next morning:

• Impressions: 14.
• Clicks: 0.
• Comments from the client: “Uh…is the campaign live?”

Cue my mini heart attack. I checked the dashboard, realized what I’d done, and quickly fixed it. But here’s where it gets weird those 14 impressions? One of them was from someone who DM’d the client about a bulk order.

Yup. A $1 budget somehow found the most qualified lead on the planet.

Now the client won’t stop asking, “Can we try the $1 strategy again?” And honestly? I’m just trying to pretend it was all part of my master plan.

So, yeah, sometimes even your screw-ups can work out…kind of.

I am looking to launch a sound collective and would like to have people sign up to my email/text list so that I can email out new events. Is there a good web based site that could work to manage this? I am looking for a free or affordable option here.

Hey everyone. I've recently migrated my 11-year-old domain to a new domain name. Here's a summary of what I've done so far before you ask:

1. 301 Redirects: All URLs were properly redirected via 301 to the corresponding pages on the new domain.
2. Google Search Console Updates: The domain change was registered, and all necessary migration actions were completed.
3. Sitemaps Submitted: New sitemaps for the updated domain structure were submitted to Google.
4. Backlink Profile: I started updating my backlinks to reflect the new domain.

It's been 42 days since the migration, but I've encountered significant issues with my traffic and indexing. Here is the issue:

In the last 7 days, my old domain (which was fully redirected) has started receiving 546K clicks, while the new domain has only received 31K clicks. Initially, the old domain showed zero traffic (as expected after the migration). Still, it has suddenly become visible again in Google search and outperforms the new domain by over 500K clicks.

This unexpected behavior has me very concerned and confused about what might be causing it.

So here are the things that I'm wondering. If you can help me, that'd be very nice!

1. Why is the old domain receiving so much traffic despite the 301 redirects? Is this normal?
2. Could this be due to an issue with how Google processes the migration?
3. How can I fix this and ensure traffic is correctly transferred to the new domain?
4. Are there additional steps I should take to prevent the old domain from ranking again?

Thanks from now on.

Can someone help me with contacts or reference which can assist me in buying a channel with 100k and above members, need it for my startup

Hello everyone,

I'm curious about how you're using AI to personalize email content and improve engagement rates, particularly in the e-commerce industry. What tools or strategies have you found most effective in making your email marketing efforts more personalized and engaging?

For context, here's my emailing stack:

• WarpLeads - unlimited export leads
• Reoon - email verifier
• Instantly - email sender
• HubSpot - CRM

In my experience, integrating AI has significantly boosted our engagement rates by delivering more relevant content to our customers. Excited to hear your experiences and tips!

Subscription-based affiliate platforms that expect you to bring your own campaign and influencers—and charge you for access—are a bad deal. Here’s why:

1. You’re Doing Their Job: A true affiliate platform should connect you with influencers and affiliates who can drive results. If you’re paying for the platform and doing the outreach yourself, what are you really paying for?

2. Double Costs, Minimal Value: You pay the platform’s subscription fee, then spend additional time and resources building your own network and campaigns. This defeats the purpose of using a platform in the first place.

3. Lack of Accountability: Platforms should be incentivized to deliver qualified affiliates and influencers. Subscription-based models often have no stake in your success—they profit even if you don’t.

What to Look For Instead: Choose platforms that actively recruit influencers and affiliates for your campaigns and operate on a performance-based model. These platforms earn when you succeed, ensuring aligned incentives and better ROI.

Paying for access without added value is a losing game. Platforms should work for you, not the other way around.

Hey!

My brother and I are working on a SaaS to help with client acquisition on Instagram. We’ve built this plugin that automates comments but still keeps things personal, helping you connect with prospects in a meaningful way.

We’ve also put together a full roadmap of prospecting templates for Instagram that’s been super helpful for us. Want me to share it with you?

Let me know in the comments or DM me—I’d love to hear what you think!

Is anyone on Product Hunt? I need upvote support for my recently launched product. Please respond!

I own a post-production studio with clients between 500k and 35m subs and have a ton of influencers in my contacts. Was thinking of starting 2025 with a bang with a new brand/influencer marketing company.

I got the domains Social Brah and Social Guap, which may or not work for the space. All the other domains with social in the name are taken so we might have a leg up. Plus I have phenomenal teams in tech, media, Organic Traffic and PPC. I'm looking for someone who can use my teams to catalyze our growth and we can work out a profit share deal.

I'm just looking for 1hr/day of someone's time to provide a little guidance and review, until we sign a couple of clients.

If this sounds interesting, DM me!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Hey everyone!

I’m kicking off an extremely risky and ambitious SEO challenge today:

To hit 100,000 traffic in 100 days by relying purely on content.

More details:

• This case study will be performed for SurgeGraph, an AI writing tool I’ve partnered up with
• I’ll be publishing 100 blog posts generated using SurgeGraph’s AI writer itself
• No black-hat tactics, no backlinks, no ads. Everything’s by the books.

Ultimately, the goal of this case study is to prove (or disprove) that high-quality content velocity works for traffic growth.

Will we win big or fail miserably?

Since it’s a live challenge, I’ll be sharing results in real time as they happen. This includes traffic stats and lessons learned on what worked and what didn’t.

What’s next?

We’ve just kicked off 2 weeks ago when we started publishing on 11/11/2024. So in the next update, I’ll be sharing the first-ever case study findings! Stay tuned to find out our progress.

And if you’d like to follow along, comment “100k 100d” below and I’ll PM you the link where you can sign up to get updates straight to your inbox.

TL;DR

Looking for automated options to support 1. Ambassador/Affiliates and 2. Reward loyalists for UGC

--

Hey y'all, I work for a small DTC brand in the Outdoor/Vehicle space.

I went from being photo/video help to full-time marketing director ,and since there is only one of me I am constantly looking for great ways to automate systems and intiatives so i'm not manually doing everything.

Two problems I am trying to figure out:

1. An affiliate/ambassador program - I'd love to implement a program that helps to reward content creators and brand loyalists. We get countless emails and DM's a day asking to trade or do work for us, if I could just drop these people in a program and let it do 80% of the work and then foster relationships on my end that would be clutch.

2. Our user base is LOYAL. Filled with Hunters, Outdoorsmen, Overlanders, etc... every day we get tagged with UGC content on Meta and while that works well, I'd love to spin this into an automated UGC/social proof campaign where people are uploading more and more content and get rewarded for it. Ive looked into loyalty programs and loudcrowd, but feel overwhelmed with the amount of options.

If i could find one program to fill both of these needs, that would be incredible, but open to all recommendations.

If you had an AI tool (or currently using one) that automates a specific part of your work, what would it be?

For example:

• A tool that writes highly targeted ad copy with minimal input.
• An AI that analyzes and optimizes campaigns automatically, beyond just basic A/B testing.
• Something that predicts trends in your industry or audience behavior ahead of time.

What tools do you guys currently use and what features are currently missing that you wish your dream AI tool would have?

Basically something to automate your day-to-day work to make it easier and more productive.

What are the differences in database size and analytics capabilities between Popular Pays and Influencity, particularly regarding influencer targeting and performance tracking?

How does Popular Pays' approach to influencer discovery and campaign management stack up against Influence.co's community-driven platform?

Is anyone on here currently running data scraping for lead gen? I'm looking for a few pointers on where to look for an API that would allow me to wrangle across multiple social media channels and directories. Bonus points for APIs that that have proxies baked in and can evade captcha verification (That's been a major issue for me).

I'm currently on the fence between Brightdata vs Scrapingbee

If you actually want to make money in marketing, your job is not to convince anybody that your product is the best, I see so many people getting wrapped up in this idea that they need to convince people to buy from them, and in reality that is not your job. If you're doing that right now you're only going to end up drained and overworked.

Your job as a marketer is to understand exactly the problems your audience is going through and with that in mind, provide them with a clear solution to that problem and that is your product. If you don't understand who you're trying to sell to and why would they buy from you. You are Simply Creating content that is not reaching your target audience and that means you're wasting your time.

I'm going to give you an example so you can understand what I'm trying to say, let's say we are promoting a glass of water without having a target audience you are promoting that glass of water to everybody and obviously your product is not really going to be that attractive, but now let's change it up a bit let's say that your target audience is someone in the desert that is dying of thirst now your product, the glass of water becomes the exact thing there looking for and believe me, closing that sale will be the easiest thing you ever do once you understand attraction marketing. 

Without clear messaging, you won’t make any sales.

STOP wasting your time trying to copy what others are doing. Instead, focus on understanding your audience and learning how to communicate directly with them in a way that truly connects

If you’re struggling with scaling up your business or personal brand online, go back to the drawing board and look at the type of content you put out.
