  Back in the day, when I was doing mid-tier / database web work, Indeed and the job boards, craigslist where the go-to places to get employed. When I lived in Orlando, I could walk downtown and knock on doors and get a coding job within a week. (usually a day) Somehow, a week became months....and now nothing. No problem... However , something else has changed. "The Corporate Environment" ? I frankly DO NOT WANT TO WORK FOR SUCH ******** EVER AGAIN. I will build my own business, even though I do not like "business" and work for God and His kingdom. This is rant is courtesy of my mailbox in-feed with lots of Indeed and Linked In nothing burgers...and do not get me started on the "Hello, Sar...This is SuryaPravda Oopta, I share this job with you that is nowhere in your resume" Then there was this dream job interview and it went well until the woman wet herself asking me, "So t What do you think about DIVERSITY!!!!!" This is a long way of saying that "Our Economy" is not here anymore. #DNWTWFSAEA

  I'm pretty positive my sister was the one that attempted to organize the institutionalization at UNM's ER on May 10th 2025 I know what the staging of the ER is - it's like thing they try to pressure patients to go to because you have such little rights there for inquiry / access to patient information related to the exam I was screaming outside of that Roswell, NM hotel on May 10th 2025 as my dad put me into the car - begging him not to take me saying I had been being made to go insane all day in Roswell was agitators, crazy makers and my dad saying to me that I was just having issues still because I had told him about the ***** trafficking thing, same with my mom both of them still not believing me about it believing he was some craigslist kind of scammer or something

  @fckfmrocks Not sure how relevent this is but it made think of something that happened years ago. I saw this guy holding up a sign at a stoplight and almost everyone was rolling down their windows and giving him money. When I finally got close enough to see what was written on the sign he was holding, I figured out why. The sign said: "Why Lie? I Need a Beer". I acutally used this same method as a title on a craigslist post I made once when I was looking for employment one time. It worked and I actually got a job offer by doing it. LOL

  @FlourishingThru I buy most all my furniture looking on Craigslist or driving past little mom & pop thrift or antique stores. I got lucky like 15 years ago & found MCM dresser set on Craigslist that had a price error & they honored it. If I tried to buy this set now it’s prob worth 4K.

  Bought a broken 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid off Craigslist for $3,000. The seller thought the battery was dead. A $50 charger said otherwise, and I did that same trade four more times out of salvage auctions. Every one of those cars sat there because nobody ran the numbers before walking away. The auto-loan/HYSA gap sitting at 278 basis points right now is the same math, parked in plain sight. Tomorrow's newsletter walks the full spread.

  Its jarring to go from the outside world, where I know nothing, to my apartment where I know everything. I got my lamp after Aella posted about it. I got a zero gravity desk chair on Craigslist bc I used to work from bed and figured Id instead work while laying down in a chair. Transporting it was hellish. I never lay down in it. I got the standing desk during covid for black Friday. I bought my Vitruvian Form in 2023 after realizing AI was Happening and it was time to start spending. I got my fancy bed at the same time. I bought my kallax from an ex who was moving. And got a 2nd kallax new when I realized how much I loved it. My couch was picked by fable. I got it because when Id been trying to comfort a crying girl but I didnt have any proper place to bring her to sit except my bed, which carried the wrong connotations as we were on a first date. I bought a Kaiser m3i bike in May 2020 because I worked out in my unit during covid. The happiest time of my life was when I used it twice a day while listening to audiobooks. I bought the perfume recommended by Derek Munro. I bought the expensive soap because a ******* twitter said she liked stealing that soap from men, which implied she likes it. I bought the tea tree oil shampoo because when I was 18, a shaman told my friend to use it. Years later she was going to stay at my place so I bought some but it turned out she had long since stopped using it. But it feels weird to throw away perfectly good shampoo. I bought the eyeliner because I thought using it could make me hotter but its unused because putting a pencil on your eye is terrifying

  A solo dev opened Flutter, spent 3 weeks on it, and shipped a ride-hail app a casual user couldn't tell apart from Uber. Yellow branding. Live map. GoabX, GoabXL, GoabBike tiers with prices. Visa 4242 on file. Home, Work, Airport saved. "Confirm GoabX" button. The whole flow. Pause at 0:08. Look at the split screen. Simulator on the right running the sign-up screen. auth_screen.dart on the left — the actual Flutter source with _Chip extending StatelessWidget, _CircleBtn wrapping a GestureDetector, BoxDecoration in black and white, Icon at 17.sp. That's not a mockup. That's a shipped auth flow. What the clone has: → Flutter frontend, one codebase, iOS and Android at once → Google Maps + custom route rendering → Ride-tier chips (X / XL / Bike) → Card-on-file with Visa masking → Google + Apple + Facebook social login stubs What the clone doesn't have: → 5 million active drivers → Regulatory clearance in 10,000 cities → A $60 billion payout rail already routed → Insurance underwriters who approved the safety model → Every dispute-resolution playbook Uber wrote from 2012 to now That's the entire product. Here's what nobody in the "just clone it" space is saying out loud: the interface was never Uber's moat. The moat is a two-sided marketplace with 5 million drivers who show up at 3 AM when you tap a button. You can build the button in Flutter in 3 weeks. You can't build the 5 million drivers in 3 lifetimes. The old loop is dead: study successful app → clone the frontend → deploy on the App Store → wonder where the users went. The new loop: study successful app → identify the offline-supply moat → build the supply first → treat the app as the last 5%. The point worth arguing about: the hardest part of building an Uber isn't Uber. It's convincing a stranger with a car to log in on Tuesday at 3 AM when it's raining. Everything else is a Figma file. I know a founder who spent 18 months writing beautiful marketplace code and shipped to zero drivers. Meanwhile a friend of mine ran Craigslist ads for 2 weeks, found 40 house cleaners in one city, matched them with 60 buyers, took 15%. He didn't need a Flutter app. He had a Google Form. The interface is free. The supply is the whole company. Literally.

  I used to own a recording studio. So I've watched this movie before. Around 2010 everyone and their grandma bought an Mbox, a $40 condenser mic, and a cracked copy of Pro Tools. Suddenly they were "audio engineers" charging $5 per mix and master on Craigslist. Recording artists in untreated bedrooms with foam taped to the walls. People flocked to them because it was cheap and fast. The music sounded terrible but it was "out there" and that's all that mattered to them in the moment. It nearly destroyed the mixing industry. Studios that invested in real equipment, real acoustics, and real skill couldn't compete on price with someone working off a laptop on their bed. But eventually the market corrected. The bedroom engineers disappeared. The artists who wanted quality came back. The studios that survived were the ones that never lowered their standard to compete with the bottom. That's exactly what's happening in the research supply space right now. Vendors popping up overnight with no testing, no infrastructure, no compliance. Just a Telegram channel and the cheapest price. And people are flocking to them for the same reason. It's cheap and it's fast. But cheap and untested doesn't last. It never has. In any industry. The vendors who test properly, build real infrastructure, and treat this like a business will still be here when the dust settles. The $5 mix and masters won't. #Tuesday #Peptides #Music

  3/N But here's the thing: Craigslist ads get you applicants. They don't get you world-class data. That part comes down to how you treat the people collecting it. My management philosophy is simple: treat people like people. More precisely: - pay people well - make them feel like part of the mission - trust them and believe in their potential

  Not sure if young men today know this, but this is called craigslist, and at this time of year, it is full of cool broken stuff. You can buy it up and fix it into nice stuff for having or selling. Do that for a few years while working for Dollar General, and you can afford a house.

  Sad news the calf did not make it. We brought him inside at 7pm because he could no longer stand. We gave him a second round of electrolytes for the day. 20 minutes later he was starting to move his legs and head and his breathing was getting fuller. After getting the twins down to sleep came back out at 930pm to him no longer moving or breathing. The people who sold us him also have not responded since I reached out earlier today. This is heart breaking and stressful. We are now 3 for 3 in getting cows/calfs that are not healthy through craigslist.

  Drew Houston on the growth hacks Dropbox used to acquire millions of users Dropbox founder Drew Houston reflects the distribution challenge most startups face in the early days: “You can buy all the AdWords in the world but if nobody’s searching for what you’re making, you have a problem.” Drew eventually landed on a two-step solution to solve Dropbox’s cold start problem. Step 1: make a product that people really love to use. “Good engineering and good design are part of it, but one of the ways I think about it is maximizing the probability that your customer ends up with a solved problem. That’s why Craigslist — which was started in the 1990s and doesn’t appear to have been updated since the 1990s — is by far the most successful business of its kind. You show up at Craigslist and you leave with your concert tickets or your casual encounter or whatever you’re looking for. Even though the design isn’t that great and it isn’t that hard of an engineering problem, it was unbelievably successful . . . [Distribution] starts with a great product and all of the marketing or tricks in the world won’t help you push a rock uphill.” Step 2: give people tools to spread the word “Two things drove the vast majority of our signups today. The first was we created this incentive-referral program where if I tell you about Dropbox you get some extra storage and I get some extra storage, which gave us this kind of currency to work with and people were just doing it for its own sake. People weren’t even using the extra space. They were just referring their friends because they got points. We’d now call it a gamification mechanic, even though I’m not sure that word was even around back then.” Drew continues: “The other thing we did was create this idea of shared folders where if I’m working on a shared project at work or if I want to share photos with my family, then all these new users are brought into the fold just by using the product . . . Now there’s whole body of art and science on how to do that, how consumer internet companies grow, and how viral growth works, but these things were instrumental to how we got started.” Source: @ECorner (Jun 2012)

  Joe Youngblood - SEO, Futurology, AI, Marketing (@YoungbloodJoe) reported 39 minutes ago

  @TheDataHubX @brivael Oh this is fun, here is mine: CJ Netmall (an ecommerce store with 'everything' via affiliate links from Amazon, LinkShare, etc...), I thought I could beat Amazon to their market expansion using their products + products from other stores by building an amalgam. - 1996 Jump Start (a 'start page' website with email login embeds, stock ticker, news ticker, etc...), I thought I could blend the best of all the big sites/services at the time on one page, but it wasn't able to be personalized because I used Tripod and didn't have a credit card to buy a domain or get hosting - 1998 [Name Redacted] (A 'fashion brand' generated by using Cafepress' iron transfer system. Sold raunchy jokes on t-shirts.) I wasn't very proud of this so when I went back to college to get my degree closed it down though we did get minor distribution throughout the Midwest. We also purchased a domain for a trucker hat brand which would probably be really popular today - 2000 Etown Underground / Forums (A couple of new media properties for my hometown of Emporia, KS. A print + digital magazine sponsored by Staples (seriously) and a web forum for citizens to talk about issues), The forum was spamme to hell and the magazine lost advertisers pretty quickly rendering it useless - 2002 Radio Revolt (a streaming internet rock station that mixed new indie music with mainstream and classic rock) - 2003 MMO Market (the first and only place where WoW players could buy and sell virtual items.), I made a grand total of like $5 from running it. Covered by most major gaming/tech media. - 2004 Dollar DBs (we scraped data from the web and sold each database in MYSQL format for $1 in an ecommerce store), It was doing great until it was hacked and I just shut it down. - 2005 1337Talk (a L33t Speak translator apparently used by teenagers and drug dealers.), The goal was harmless fun conversations for gamers. It was featured in CNN and other places for uses I did not intended. I stopped updating it and shut it down. - 2006 GamersTube (The world's first cross-compatible video sharing UGC site built for the needs of gamers with a focus on high quality video playback and a roadmap to live streaming), I tried to get investors at SXSW to believe in the concept of a live streaming site like UStream, Mogulus/LiveStream, and Justin TV + an On Demand site like YouTube built for the needs of gamers to host both long-form Machinima content and streaming eSports matches in high definition. They all said it was ridiculous. I believed in the long-term movement of video based entertainment from OTA and cable to the web-based distribution considering the gaming market to be at least a billion dollar industry alone. Google banned our Blogger blog for "spam" after it was uncovered that we had a revenue program before YouTube and also banned us from Adsense after changing the TOS to specifically forbid our website. Either an example of Convergent Evolution or something else, Twitch built nearly every single feature we built or envisioned including "Pwning", tips, and clipping just years and years later - 2006 Classified Ads Free / Kollege Ads (A network of classified ads websites that were free but made money via advertising networks.), I thought Craigslist was due for being disrupted but learned to leave the gray monster alone. We suffered a never ending and impossible to avoid barrage of spam / phishing listings and ultimate major web gatekeepers killed off traffic to our network (rightfully so) - 2007 AD FUND [never built] (With a college friend who works for a major tech company now as a higher up Senior dev, this project was designed to make it so you could sell small shares of access to your business online based on your revenue or traffic etc... and develop a secondary market for those shares.) The goal was to allow small sites/apps to get the sort of investment only big public corps or those in major VC hubs could get. My friend and partner called an SEC lawyer who told him it was illegal and we could go to prison so he quit and I am not good/smart enough to build something like that alone - 2007 ARS DFW (An art, music, events, and lifestyle blog for Dallas - Fort Worth), I built this using WordPress along with custom Javascript maps to help DFW residents find things to do like cheap drink nights or karaoke nights. IIRC the WordPress site was hacked and I just closed it down even though I still had the JS code - 2010 Nutrition Maps [launched but never adopted] (An XML based language for websites to publish nutrition data, similar to a sitemap, allowing consumer applications to easily find and use the data), I had an interested investor tell me there was no way to make money on this. SmartLabel launched in 2015 - 2011 Rent in Reverse [never launched] (Put renting consumers in the driver's seat by allowing landlords / leasing agents to bid on their target consumers by submitting offers that matched query.) I had worked in rental leasing marketing for a few years and noticed how insanely stressful it was on consumers to find a place and thought it would be great if places could bid on them. Dev partner for this project who I later found out is a cousin of a friend of mine literally moved in the middle of it to Pittsburgh and just stopped. Zillow would launch "renter profiles" 4-years later. - 2012 My New Office [only made Beta] (A website that allowed commercial landlords to post their vacancies and what it could be used for). We quickly got users including CBRE but it was just a WordPress shell as POC and I found myself working on building my own marketing agency from scratch after a falling out with my employer so I had to close it down - 2012 PR Hunters [purchased and improved] (Award winning PR software that scraped HARO queries on Twitter that needed to be filled and routed them based on keyword preferences), It was a great tool but died when Cision bought HARO and when Elon bought Twitter. Site is still live and I have plans on redeveloping it some day. - Purchased in 2014 Rocketship [client exclusive] (Our internal SEO / marketing agency software platform), The goal is to catalog all data and communications we can and streamline communications between team members and client stakeholders. - 2021 Ultimasaurus (A Chrome extension with a variety of tools to customize the desktop web including turning off AI Overviews in Google, making search ads take up less space, Eliminating spam on Google Maps, Focus Mode for getting **** done, and turning off Stories on Facebook), I use this daily for my own productivity and plan on rolling out a lot of new updates soon - 2022 Jump Links Shopify App [acquired and improved] (App that improves blogging by adding an automated TOC w/ recommended products for a low cost) - Acquired 2022 Website Announcement Bar [acquired and improved] (A quick, simple, and CWV friendly way of adding a website announcement bar to the top of your website that can be turned on or off at any time) - Acquired 2023 Advanced Spam Filter for Lead Generation [client exclusive] (A wordpress plugin + internal system to block common spammers across client profiles while ensuring 100% of actual leads come through), This solves the problem of clients not getting leads to their inbox because their email provider blacklisted their website domain/ip address. - 2024 ChatGPT Embeds for WordPress (A custom built plugin to allow simple summaries and other embeddable features for blogs/news sites) - 2025 Rocketship SEO (A plugin for WordPress designed to be a next gen toolkit that compliments current main SEO plugins such as Yoast or RankMath includes things like IndexNow, AI vs Human traffic, Redirects, AI Tools, Google Reviews, and more), I believe every website should be able to access the basics without having to pay a premium price, so we built this to do just that for the next generation. - 2025 Subscription System [still in beta but almost completed and live on the ORG] (A WordPress plugin that gives websites 2 major subscription capabilities.) Websites can offer a publication subscription that sends email alerts to users based on their settings and allows this to be a revenue source. And a work/labor subscription system with a work log and pricing tiers. All independent of Woocommerce using Stripe integration (more coming soon) - 2026 There's a lot more I haven't added like a bitcoin site that only posted peoples regrets for selling early, an online browser game called "Jelly Battle", the most popular Gmail forum signature generator (way back in the day), the most popular Free MMORPG gaming blog (made me $$$$), a handful of failed keyword tools, And several Alpha/Beta projects I may never fully launch, etc... I'll keep building until I die, but will probably never equal 1/10th of what Elon has. I was pretty darn close with GamersTube to breakaway life changing wealth though!

  Adrian Chivu (@AdrianChivu6) reported 44 minutes ago

  My go-to pre-sell landers are advertorials. And the type of advertorials that I've scaled the hardest are the one-story ones. I am pushing this exact structure to $30k days right now. And that basic diagram pretty much explains the whole structure. This pre-sell lander doesn’t have blocks. It has one continuous story holding the whole page up. So here's how you build an advertorial that doesn't have a **** structure: 1. Status quo fails - this is not "you have a problem." Anyone can write that... it's the copywriting equivalent of showing up to a first date and going "so you're single, huh." What actually works is that the reader's best previous attempt already failed, and ideally it failed on the word of someone credible (i.e. "My doctor told me there was nothing he could do"). Keep it short and clear. The reader already lived this problem, so you don't need to narrate their pain back to them; you just need to say the failure precisely enough that they go "wait, that's me." 2. Expert reframes it - here's where it gets fun, because this is the actual hinge the whole page swings on, and most pre-sell landers I see out there are just skipping it. A credible outsider shows up and says "actually, that's not why this is happening", and reframes the cause into something the reader never connected to their own situation. For example, "the nerves in your feet are suffocating and dying off" is not a sentence a normal person says about their own foot pain. It's a sentence a guy in a white coat says, and it works specifically because it's dramatic AND it's coming from someone whose job title makes the drama feel earned instead of manufactured. If you skip this part entirely, you probably jump straight from "my life sucks" to "buy my thing," which is not a story, it's a Craigslist ad... 3. Transformation is proof - this is the actual cheat code, and it's the part people underrate the hardest. Normal pages need a separate testimonials section because nobody's been following any one person's story A one-story lander doesn't need that section at all, because the reader has been walking through one person's entire arc this whole time, and their result at the end of it just is the testimonial. Nobody had to tell you it works. You watched it happen in real time, sentence by sentence, which lands completely differently than 5-star icons and a stranger's name under a quote. 4. Convert - by the time the offer shows up, the readers already believe the mechanism, they already saw it pay off, so the actual purchase decision has basically already happened in their head. The CTA at this point is a formality, and this is also why guarantees and bonuses do more here than on a modular landing page. They're not there to convince, they're there to remove the last tiny bit of friction for someone who's already decided. And this my friend, is an advertorial structure that prints $100k days on cold traffic. That's why it converts so well. Nothing on the page should feel like persuasion. It feels like a story that happens to end with a product.

  @_ClimateCraze In Florida, it is possible to find very cheap—and even free—solar panels. When existing systems are removed or upgraded, word spreads quickly and the used panels are snapped up fast. Professional installers and businesses can earn extra money by alerting friends and business associates where the discarded panels are located awaiting disposal. The removed panels are the property of the land owner. It’s cheaper to just let the public take them than to pay to have them hauled away. For example, last year the Orange County Convention Center gave 6,000 panels away. Used commercial panels are often listed on Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace. I have several in my yard that powers my refrigerator, microwave, USB devices and lights. When a tropical storm or hurricane hits I'm ready for when the grid to go down.

  Bought a broken Ford Escape Hybrid off Craigslist for three grand once. The previous owner swore the hybrid battery was dead and priced it like scrap. A fifty-dollar charger and twenty minutes online said otherwise. Everyone else read the headline on that listing. I ran the actual number underneath it, and that's the whole difference between what happened with the Fed today and what happens at your own dealership every time. Friday's issue breaks down this week's freshest price record next to who can actually still afford to buy it.

Agency → same Dubai, rented Rolls, "I was broke 9 months ago," whiteboard, hoodie. Fitness → shirtless 24-year-old with abs he had at 16, screaming about discipline. Real estate → no-money-down, "I closed this off Craigslist," podcast studio nobody records in. every single one of those lanes is a bloodbath. 400 people fighting over the same customer. now ask the question nobody asks: who does that aesthetic actively repel? because that person still wants the outcome. they just refuse to become that guy to get it. the 44-year-old dad who wants $2k a month trading before work and would be embarrassed if his wife saw a Lambo video in his feed. The guy in Ohio who wants $15k a month and to stay in Ohio, near his parents, in his house. the 38-year-old with a bad back and 45 minutes, who cannot be coached by someone who's never been tired. the nurse who wants one duplex. Not thirty doors. One. run the math on any of these. If the dominant aesthetic pulls 15% of the market, generously, then 85% of the buyers in your "saturated" niche have no one speaking to them at all. there is no second option for them to choose. you'd be the only one. this is Counter Positioning, and it's the only reason to enter a crowded market. You don't beat the category leaders. just become answer for everyone the leader repels. I did this with a women's day trading coach. 2,000 followers, $200/month when we started. This past July we hit $250K in a month... in the single most saturated niche on the internet. Not by being a better version of the Lambo guys. By being the opposite of them, on purpose. want the full 25-minute breakdown for free? Like Comment "info" RT Follow it's yours player 🤝

  @SacAppraiser I don’t understand. So via Airbnb no problem; via Craigslist scam. But why did it matter if the sign was outside? Because scammed guests would arrive and realize they’d not be getting in?
