  1. The ROI you posted for Promoted Gigs. Is that all-time, in numbers. Or just in a few months?
  2. I have ten gigs available for purchase. Not sure if that’s enough… but it’s enough for me.
  3. I've spent $122.00 roughly over the last two months on promoted gigs, and not a single sale. I still think the system needs to become more targeted like Facebook ads.
  4. I joined seller plus for the first time ever, as of last Saturday. The keyword stuff has been useful. We'll see how it goes come next month if I re-up or not.
  5. Instagram is currently the best looking social media platform, aesthetically. The only downside from a user perspective is you have to post often to keep your followers interested. And I simply don't have time for it.
  6. I recently got an inquiry from a client via promoted gigs and it was entirely in French. First time for everything I guess. Their interest in my services was real however, so that's a plus.
  7. I use instagram for posting about movies, and to promote on occasion. Twitter (now X), I don't post on nearly as much as I used to. But I use it mostly to scroll for world news, sports news, movie news, watch film trailers, and 'like' and 'reply' to things I'm interested in. Pinterest I use rarely. When I do use it, I add relevant pictures to one of my boards. Facebook I don't use as much as I used to either. Although I have a page, and have alternative plans for it in the future. I still 'like' and 'reply' to posts on a somewhat regular basis though. LinkedIn I use mostly for promotion. Threads I'm starting to get more active on with film and promo stuff. YouTube I use to exclusively to watch film clips, trailers, or music videos. I have a channel but since I've moved on from the movie covering business, and into the writing business, I don't update the channel anymore with trailers, and videos and stuff.
  8. I have my FAQ set for all of my gigs, and I make revisions when needed. But you're right. Some potential clients don't read the FAQ. And will contact you with questions that could've been answered if they had just bothered to read the Frequently Asked Questions portion of the gig. So while the FAQ is helpful to have as an option, I wish more people actually took the time to give it a peek. At least... a peek.
  9. I think in situations where the orders exceed the amount of time you have to complete them. You must decide which opportunities are worth your while. Obviously, more expensive orders would get preferential treatment (atleast in my opinion). But other factors should include the buyer's conditions for the project. If a buyer seems difficult, inexperienced, or just plain rude. Clearly their order should not be given attention above other purchasers who seem more mature, easier to work with, and overall affable. Remember. As a freelancer, you get to pick your customers. If you have six interested clients, and two seem a bit flaky, or unpleasant, the solution would be to tell those two you're swamped right now, and maybe to come back in a few weeks to place an order. Perhaps by then, your workload will be more fluid. Which will lend you more patience to deal with a difficult client. If they really want to do business, they'll be back.
  10. I'm getting a lot of these too. Sometimes they claim I have an order for one of my gigs, and in order to see it I have to click on a link. They've definitely changed up their game.
  11. This is pretty spot on. Once fed enough information to survive, AI can 'choose' to continue allow humans to feed it knowledge. Or it can extract knowledge from various other sources on its own, and expand its IQ that way. Then it will take that knowledge and refine it, coming up with new and better ideas and solutions. Stuff we probably haven't even thought of yet.
  12. So basically... we're screwed? Welp, "Terminator" tried to warn us.
  13. Common, perhaps, in a society that has yet to evolve. But seeing as how human society is constantly evolving, even more in some places in particular, there's just no excuse 'now,' to not pay people what they are worth. Unless you're operating in bad faith. Which isn't illegal, but aesthetically, isn't a good look either. In the long run, it will hurt your ability to both attract, and retain talent. Then the company goes under. The CEO can always start a new company, but that depends on how successful the failed one was for him/her financially.
  14. I got this message today: "𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐃nickj2013 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧! 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐨 𝐚 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐞. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝟕 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬.

  15. Thanks for the well wishes. As far as the book is concerned. Still need to finish it, then perform edits of my own, and then, send it out to an editor. So there’s a long way to go. 😬
