    WP Free Plugins - Adverts

    no its true, its no big deal if the ad is only visible in the settings page.

    WP Free Plugins - Adverts

    the ads are only a problem for me if I cant permanently switch them off or at least disable them for a time period.

    How do Vape & phone accessory shops survive in High Street premises?

    the craziest idea i ever saw for a shop was one near me when I lived in Spain. They decided to sell perfume by the litre. The idea was you could save money on your favourite perfumes by buying in bulk. But I think they missed the point that part of the experience was having some luxury...

    Where to start?

    Does this company have an affiliate program? If so sign up and start promoting the product. You will then be able to test it out in the UK market at zero cost to you. To find out if they do have an affiliate program, either go to their website and look for a small link (probably in the footer)...

    Ever worked for someone you hate

    I dont think I have ever had a boss I hated, certainly some I had no plans on ever socialising with but then they probably thought the same of me. I did once have a job in the nineties as a labourer for a road marking company and I can honestly say I never got on with one employee (probably...

    Delivery Driver/Courier Recruitment

    if you feel its a good idea then go for it and if you want it to be more like Indeed then it sounds like CPC (cost per click) would be the way forward with a very basic free option to get people through the door.

    New cleaning business pricing?

    As Uwe just mentioned, go with your gut feeling and then after a few jobs you can adjust your times if you are quoting too little or too much time.

    What is a good CTR to test a business idea?

    If your CTR is low then split test your ads (if not doing already) and keep improving until you get the CTR you want. Make tweeks to the ad title and body of the ad but don't make huge changes in one go. Keep improving the ad that shows some improvement.

    Guest Posting or Press Releases

    its really about knowing who your target audience is first (people with Bitcoins would be a good start) that will determine how and where you market your business.

    Brexit - How would you vote today?

    I would still vote to remain. Its been a disaster for the Pound/Euro rate since 2015. And yes im sure all you leavers have strong arguments to put but nothing I have has seen so far will change my mind. But I would certainly be interested in hearing from people who have honestly had a positive...

    Phone landline number to your mobile

    For the last 8, maybe 10 years I have had a landline (0208) through Skype which currently costs me about £30 a year but to be honest I now thinks its a waste of time. Hardley anyone calls me with it for business and yes you still get spam calls. In fact I have just cancelled the number before...

    Recommended business bank account to work with Stripe or other payment gateway provider for e-commerce website?

    As others have mentioned, all stripe is doing is transfering the money to your designated bank account, why would there be an issue on the banks side of this happening.

    Any cheap SSL offers?

    An SSL always comes free as standard with my hosting and I imagine with most other companies too. Back in the day it was a bit of a pain sorting one out but to be honest back then it was not so critical to have https, so often I did not bother but this last part is just fluff and adds nothing to...

    Google for jobs listing - why are not all my jobs showing

    thanks for looking and replying. Yes I can put the jobs on my website and have a job listings page which I tried but its quite difficult to get all the configurations right (schema markup) that Google require which is why I used a third party. Google say on their official jobs site that its ok...
