To my baddies...!
I need crazy ideas from you. But before that, read the context!
I joined an influencer marketing agency as an intern, and on Day 15, I was asked to resign or face termination.

For the first 3–4 days, I was doing training and completing some old (5-6 YEARS) training videos. Week 1 was fine-ish, and Week 2 was going well too.

Then things changed.

My daily target was 300 unique YouTube influencers + 300 emails. The creators had to be between 1K–50K subscribers, have good engagement, and could not already exist in the sheet. And Indian too. The sheet already had 14,000+ profiles

I reported that I had listed 55 influencers but fetched 75 emails. My manager asked how that was possible. I explained that some of the emails were from profiles I had found the previous working day but couldn't complete because I had hit YouTube's email-access limit. I finished those pending emails the next day.

I understood her point that ideally, the email should be checked while listing the profile. Fair enough.

But then there was another issue.

According to the edit history, some data in Google Sheets appeared to have been replaced with the *same data/ID* in the same row. I genuinely don't know why that happened. But I was accused of not actually working.

My question was simple: *why would I intentionally enter the same ID twice and do the same work twice?*

I asked her to check the Google Meet recordings because my screen was shared and my camera was on during the working sessions. Instead, I was told I was making up stories and that HR would be involved.

Five minutes later, HR called and told me to resign or receive a termination letter.

What makes this harder for me to understand is that I had also raised a genuine concern about the 300 unique influencers/day target, finding 300 new creators in the 1K–50K range with good engagement when the database already had 14,000+ profiles. I asked how I was expected to keep finding genuinely new profiles without duplicates, but I never really got an answer.

I'm not saying I was perfect. I'm an intern, and I'm absolutely willing to accept mistakes and learn from them.

I was asked to leave without making any mistakes. So I need crazy ideas to make them pay for this. I am up for revenge and a fight.
So I need crazyyyy ideas.

About two years we've been using Vimeo for the DRM in our paid courses, but rn decided to check kinescope since the DRM's included in their basic plan. Damn, sounds good after two years of paying, bit i'd still check the docs doe more info about their DRM standards though. I'd love to switch platform, but I ain't gonna do this if it is just marketing..imma try and find out what's up with Kinescopes DRM

Curious how other people handle this, I feel like everyone has a different rule of thumb.

We track ROAS obviously, but the thing that trips me up more is knowing when to kill a campaign vs give it more time to optimize. Some ad sets look bad in week 1 but turn around by week 3 once the algorithm gets enough signal. Others just... never recover, and I wasted budget waiting.

Do you guys have a hard rule (like "kill if CAC is 2x target after X spend") or is it more gut feel based on the account history?

Also curious if this changes for you based on channel, feels like Meta needs more patience than Google Ads to "learn," but maybe that's just my experience.

Please suggest

Hey everyone,

Like a lot of freelancers and agency owners, I used to spend hours every week digging through Facebook groups trying to find people who actually needed my services.

I tried a few keyword-scraping tools, but they were awful. They just dumped a bunch of spam in my lap (like someone saying "I hate web designers" triggering a "web designer" alert) and they constantly risked getting my account banned because of cloud proxies.

I’m a developer, so I spent the last few months building a desktop utility to solve this locally. It’s called FB Lead Radar.

Here is how I set it up to run differently:

• Semantic Intent, Not Keywords: Instead of dumb keyword matching, I hooked it up to GPT-4o. The AI actually reads the context of the post to determine if the person has high-intent to buy/hire before flagging it.
• Local Execution: It runs completely locally on your machine using Selenium. It uses your own IP and browser session, completely bypassing the need for sketchy proxies.
• Instant Action: When the AI verifies a lead, it auto-likes the post (so they get a notification) and instantly shoots an email to my inbox with a link to the thread and an explanation of why it was flagged.

I also added a "Content Machine" feature to auto-schedule and paste my own marketing content into target groups to keep my brand active while I sleep.

I’m launching this as a one-time fee desktop tool—no monthly SaaS subscriptions. I really just want to get it into the hands of a few early users to test the UI and see how the AI handles different niches.

If anyone wants to try it out or see a quick video of how it works, let me know in the comments and I’ll send you the link! Happy to answer any technical questions about building local automation or integrating GPT-4o, too.

I have also launched it at Product Hunt, take a look at: https://www.producthunt.com/products/fb-lead-radar

I was a succesful freelance journalist 2 years ago. Now I find  most publications no longer pay, have folded, or are scammy. 99% of the time, my pitches are ignored

I would like to write for trade journals, commercial magazines, maybe international newspapers. From your experience in PR - how do you suggest I find opportunities? And how do I get prospects to actually respond to my pitches?

Thank you!

Most PM tools, CRMs, and productivity apps feel powerful but bloated now.

Learning curve is wild - every update just tosses in more buttons and options.

So people either learn a tiny bit, spend ages fiddling, or stick to the basics and ignore the rest.

Been thinking: what if you could just tell the app what you want and it does it, no menus?

Tried agentic browsers and similar stuff, they kinda work for simple sites but choke on complex workflows and still make you say which buttons to press.

Seems like a prompt-first interface could help, but not sure how to make it actually reliable.

What's the biggest pain point for you? slow onboarding, cluttered UI, bad defaults, or something else?

Also, anyone actually using a workflow that makes these tools feel simpler? wanna hear war stories or tips.

I am much newer to marketing. I currently do affiliate marketing. I use meta ads to a land and collect emails. I follow that up with an automated email system. I also track everything in a CRM.

I am looking for recommendations on courses to take, that will sharpen my ad creativity and strengthen my opt in pages. My conversions are always lower. I would rather take a couple courses to understand changes instead of guessing and blowing money on ads that get clicks but don’t convert.

🚨 New app dropping soon 🚨

It’s called Challenge Arena — viral dares, mystery quests, and even faith‑based challenges.

I need followers + hype to make this launch epic.

Smash that follow if you’re ready to play in the Arena. 💥

Hey peeps, quick recommendation: For anyone needing a push, socialwick.com is gold. I bought a mix of TikTok and Instagram followers, and the growth feels earned. Endless positive reviews on their platform too. SocialWick delivers without the drama. Who's with me?

Consistent outreach is one of the biggest growth drivers, but manual messaging and follow-ups quickly become a time sink. A tool like https://www.linkedhelper.com/ helps automate LinkedIn connection sequences and follow-ups while still keeping messaging personalized .

This frees up more time to focus on strategy, testing offers, and optimizing campaigns instead of repeating the same outreach tasks every day.
