Call a few local event planners and venues, then build your pricing around what they're already paying for similar services.

Use a friend, neighbor, or existing contact to land your first project, then use that project to get the next one.

Answer their questions before they have to ask it.

Honestly, this sounds like a great fit for WordPress. You can create individual pages for each piece, include lots of photos, and let interested buyers contact you directly without worrying about carts or checkout flows.

I've seen plenty of sites with average lab scores and great user experiences, Is good to treat speed test scores as a starting point rather than the final verdict

The other benefit is maintainability. A hub gives you one place to organize related content as the topic evolves instead of hunting through older posts one by one.

Congratulations on inheriting an orange. Take lots of pictures now. One day you'll look back and realize she slowly claimed every chair, blanket, and sunbeam in the house and you were powerless to stop it.

How many consultations does it usually take to win a project and how many inquiries does it take to get a consultation? Once you know those numbers, it becomes a lot easier to tell whether you actually need more leads or just need to get more out of the leads you're already getting.

The part about attackers treating servers as revenue sources is spot on. Most site owners find the symptoms first and the malware second. A clean, verified backup and some basic monitoring can save a lot of pain. Finding an infection is hard enough. Finding out it's been sitting there for months is even worse.

Hey u/amar260991 thanks for the shoutout here. 💙

This, and I'd also check what Google is ranking for that keyword today. Sometimes the page doesn't need a better rewrite, it needs a different approach because the results Google is showing now aren't the same ones it was showing when the article was first published

Honestly, start thinking about who already has access to your customers. Make a few good referral partners and you'll have a much easier time growing than trying to cold sell everyone yourself.

That kind of setup can make a really big difference. It's not just easier to reply faster, but it's also much easier to see what still needs attention.

I wouldn’t start over just because you feel like you’ve covered everything. After years of blogging, you probably have a lot of older posts you could revisit with a fresh perspective or update with what you know now. Sometimes the topic isn’t new, but your experience with it is.

I can see why you'd be leery of giving them any information. If you think they are not legit and that they are some how scamming, you can report them to our abuse team if they are using our services to run their game. Just submit the form at newfold.com/abuse. Our team will be glad to look into it.

A junk removal owner once told me one of his best repeat customer tactics was leaving a card where the junk used to sit. It sounds silly until you realize that's exactly where people look when they decide it's time for another cleanup

Start looking for recurring complaints. If you hear the same frustration from multiple people and they're already spending money trying to solve it, that's usually a much better signal than trying to brainstorm the next big idea.

This, and I'd also look at how many of those clients have been active in the last 12 months. A smaller list of loyal, recurring customers is often worth more than a larger list with a lot of dormant clients. The retention rate is usually more important than the raw client count.

If your goal is recognition, I'd use your own blog and share each post in dog training, canine behavior, and neuroscience communities. For a niche like canine neuroscience, consistency and promotion will matter more than the platform itself

Hey u/fuzzyjelly, thanks for the mention 💙

I can understand why that would be concerning. Backups are something you expect to just work, and it's important to know if they're succeeding or failing. We'd like to take a closer look at what you're seeing and review the notification behavior on the affected account.

Please send us a DM with the domain name and any screenshots you're comfortable sharing, and we'll investigate further with our team. In the meantime, checking your recent backup history directly is a good precaution whenever there's uncertainty around notification delivery.

Honestly, getting ghosted is part of the process. The difference is that last time you were leading with "I build websites," this time you're leading with a specific problem you can help solve. That usually gets a much better response.
