#how to drive traffic to your online store

[monstersholygrail]

Chronically Online!Yandere had seen this trend that couples were doing all around TikTok. A cute little idea where they’d text each other random updates on their day to see what they say in response. He was way too giddy to try the trend out with you. But instead of texting you updates on his day, he wanted to text you updates on your day!

Unknown Number: “Good Morning! I know you woke up a little earlier than your usual alarm, but that’s ok! It’ll be a good day

“Uh, I think you have the wrong number.”

Unknown Number: “You’re eating some toast for breakfast but maybe you should add some fruit too so you aren’t hungry before lunch.”

“Who is this???”

Creep: “Your drive to work was pretty long but morning traffic be like that sometimes. At least you got some great music taste.”

“If this is some kinda prank, it’s not funny.”

Creep: “Stopping at the grocery store after work is smart. You don’t have much food left in your fridge.”

“How the hell have you seen the inside of my fridge?!”

Stalker: “What you’re cooking smells amazing. Dinner should be done soon and then you can relax.”

“W-what?? Seriously, if you don’t stop I’m gonna call the police!!”

Stalker (Dangerous!!!): “Someone’s knocking on the door. Better open up, darling.”

Chronically Online!Yandere has to stifle his giggling on the other side of the door, waiting for you to open up. All day your responses have been so teasing and adorable. He couldn’t wait to see the look on your face when you saw that it was him, unable to wait any longer to finally be with you.

He owed it all to the sweet TikTok trend. When it popped up on his fyp he knew it was fate the trend had come to him. And boy is he happy it did. Who knew searching up cute couple videos would lead to this?

AI and PDF Crochet Patterns

AI generated images can be great for inspiring projects, but most of the time it's used online to generate revenue for scammers and the like.

Just scrolling through Etsy rn looking for crochet patterns, I've come across several listings (some with false 5 star reviews to boost engagement/trust) where the patterns and images are clearly AI generated and people, unfortunately, have fallen for the listings.

Some of the images might look totally obvious to you, but to the untrained eye they can be convincing.

SOOO, how do you spot AI crochet patterns?

Look at the stitches. Are there pieces that don't seem to stitch into one another? Are the lengths and sizes inconsistent? Some are more obvious than others, but AI fails to replicate consistent textures.

Lighting and saturation. AI images often are vibrant and cartoon-ish. Especially the eyes of projects - usually this is a pretty good giveaway. Additionally, is the image smooth? What's in the background? Does it make sense?

Limited photos on listing. Most legitimate shops are going to have multiple photos of the finished project on the listing - AI is fairly advanced, but not the best at recreating exact images. Does the listing only have one photo? Does it have multiple but with variants between projects (that are meant to be the same)? Are there any videos?

Is it even possible? This can be tricky if you are new to crochet, but as above, take a moment to look at the stitches and the overall shape of the project. Does it look plausable? Especially if they projects say 'no sew'. Additionally, if you have already purchased the pattern - does it tell you how much material you need, and does it make sense? Does it tell you crochet hook size?

Legit photo but AI generated pattern. Sometimes the images are real - but they've been stolen from another creators account and the scam shop has simply asked AI (such as ChatGPT) to write up a crochet pattern. These are less obvious at a glance, but most reputable shops will have social media, consistent themes of crochet projects and reviews with pictures of finished products uploaded by customers.

6. Ok, but what if they use AI but the reviews seem legit? Crochet Baby Duck - this is an AI generated picture and pattern, and while the shop has posted several pictures of the finished project it is clear that it does not match up with the AI generated duck pictured in the listing. The hat, feet, and bill are all different sizes and this is even noted in some of the customer reviews. While this isn't as scammy as straight up using AI generated images/patterns without showing how the finished project looks - it is still taking away from legitimate pattern makers. Being able to design and execute good patterns is a skill, and the prices of legitimate patterns often reflect this. Why does the shop even use AI pictures if they post the real life projects anyway? Cus it drives traffic, and lets be real - the real life plush dolls look no where near as good as the AI images.

This is the same as the walrus - AI generated image and pattern, this is even endoresed by Etsy so you cannot rely on 'Etsy picks' being legitimate as they choose profits over morals.

These patterns are not just limited to Etsy, they are often on Pinterest or websites for 'free' to generate traffic and collect data (asking for your e-mail for the free pattern). Such as this Peacock Crochet IRL figure by u/Echo-o_0 on Reddit.

This is not just limited to crochet, I've seen it in sewing, knitting, and any other PDF downloads that you can purchase or get for free. Unfortunately, it is a simple way for people to make a quick but and face little to no consequences as their store *might* get deleted and even then, they can just start a new one up.

Gotham's Sewist - The shadow walked in | Bruce Wayne x Reader

Series Master list

pre any relationship, this is where reader and Bruce meet! kinda?

Timeline: R and B are 23.

Notes: talk of canon typical violence, Bruce being bad at socializing with actual people, swearing,

Not proof read at all

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

you knew of it's existence.

or, at least, herd rumors.

how horrifying it is to run into. how you won't end up dead, but wish you would be. the incense, searing pain of shattered kneecaps, bruising skull, and white hot throbbing in your muscles never settling down, not even as the Gotham police department drag you off.

it's a good thing this shadow works against the criminals and not for, or Gotham would be a dead zone. not even goons would be able to survive that Gotham, only left for those who syphon energy from the shadows and perpetual overcast.

but that shadow figure, the one that lurks over roof tops? they're a good thing for the city.

but you do wish it would stopped watching you.

late nights are what you rely on to get your work done. the insomnia you developed for college didn't wade after graduation, and so you work best at night. which is fine for you. living amongst crime alley and high traffic areas, you think the paranoia would keep you up anyway, so its easier to work than lay there restless. but now, you cant concentrate with the beady eyes watching you from across the street.

The first few times you caught him staring, you debated going outside and yelling at him, shooing him like a stray cat. But you highly doubt he'd listen.

you know he's there. and you know he knows you know he's there. and you know its a man. or at least a man shaped being. you'd estimate him to be 6'4, with a bulk build, yet still sleak enough for him to flip around like you've caught him doing him doing, looking like a flea jumping around.

Maybe I could spray him with water.

Now, you feel as though he's just a curious kid, like the ones who come in with their mothers and watch you work to stitch up their raincoats.

But, you know, those kids aren't dressed head to toe in black, with a face mask and beanie on.

But the Shadow, who in your daze, had slinked his way into your store, is.

What the fuck

A cold steel feeling staggers though to your bones. Panic. Like a startled cat, or a cornered mouse. Your chest is tight. Your palms and spine feel cold with sweat, eyes prickling with tears of fear.

Fuck me an i going to die? When did he get in here? WHY is he in my shop?! Fuckk!

Bruce, while you sat panicked in your chair, was having his own conundrum.

He really didn't think he'd get this far, but he sorta blacked out and was suddenly in your store staring down a startled you. He's debated this many many times, and how reckless it is. He could just order the fabric himself and, with excessive help from Alfred, sew his suit himself. But he doubt Alfred would let that happen, already upset he hollowed out the back of the study to become the entrance for his cave of operations. So Bruce thought he'll commission a suit with an anonymous check and enough money on it to keep the sewist quiet. He then did extensive background checks on all those with open commissions in Gotham. He chose you because, well, you're quiet. You meet up with friends every other month, but only talk to your clients. Your online activity is strictly lurking, updating the businesses website with images of your work and general availabilities, but other than that, nothing social drives your interests.

Except your job.

So, logically, someone who is dedicated to the craft will not only make him a high level suit, but would also respect client privacy. And maybe, you might not...laugh.

"Holy FUCK ITS YOU! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY STORE??" your system seems to have caught up, and the adrenaline has circumvented to yelling. Not exactly a good response, but your knees aren't exactly in the condition to fight nor flight. So shouting it is.

"I," he swallowed, "I want to commission a suit."

"Uh... like a business suit..?" You approach, faced with an unpredictable personality infront of you.

He hums, "sort of. I desire it to be made of kevlar and steel, yet remaining light and flexible."

"I..., what do you plan to do in this suit? Fight cops?"

"Fight crime."

That gives you pause. Is he for real? I mean, business is dry this autumn, it'll give me something to do I guess.

"Well, um… d-do you know how expensive kevlar is? That could run me $200 a yard, and it's like 3 to 4 yards to make a suit for an average person. And, i mean this with respect, you are built far bigger than an average person." You finally meet his eyes, a steel blue challenging yours.

"My wallet is also built larger than an average person. I can cover all materials plus labor charges, don't fret, I just need to know if you can do it."

Now you really felt challenged. Who does he think he is?

You will come to find he who he is is your most loyal customer, in labour and love. But not for a good while. No, currently your stuck with the socially inept one.

"I have mock-ups; professional patterns drawn up, I just need someone with a talent for sewing."

You can't believe your doing this. Whoever taught you stranger danger is rolling in their grave, even if they're not dead. Your betrayal has killed them and buried them 6 feet under.

"I'll do it. Can I see the drafts?" Your posture finally returning to a professional level, clearing your desk, sweeping your hand to gesture for him to sit in the client chair. Maybe if he sat he'd be less intimating.

He was not. He slid a manila folder that he pulled out of no where over to you, hand clamped firmly on top, yet to let go.

"Um, can ya move your hand? So I can open it?"

"Just..." he hesitates, eyes distant, like he's about to rip it back from you and run away. He almost did. Almost. "Don't laugh. Please."

"Umm, okay?" Using a little more force, you pry the folder out from his hand, opening it with some fear in you, not sure why he was so afraid. Oh. Oh my god. Is he? Omg wait don't laugh omg oh-

"It’s a ba-"

"are you a fury?! Is that what this is?" You blurt. May said your loose lips would sink ships but how couldn't you ask. Bless her soul how right she was.

"No, I'm harnessing my fear to instil fear in others."

"So your afraid of furries?"

"Bats,” he grumbled, “I'm afraid of bats. When I was nine I fell down into a cave and was stuck with a colony of them. They bit and swarmed me until my dad came to pull me out."

"Oh! Oh, yeah. Yeah that makes sense. Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you."

The silence stabbed you. You felt sick, you fucked up, making fun of him.

"I'll do it. I'll make the suit, just- I'll need the fabric payment upfront, cause I won't be able to buy the kevlar and-"

The man pulls out a slip of paper from the hood pocket. A check, anonymously signed. To be honest it was a lot more credible than the many wads of cash you’ve gotten before, all vaguely stolen looking, but don’t ask don’t tell i guess. But thee shadow handing you a check is one thing, the amount on it is another.

“this is so much money how do you..? Where? Who are you??” You tattle off, near a whisper. Your grandpa always said count in silence but he may have overlooked how literal you are.

He was much better at being silent, alike this man infront of you. A blank slate.

"Do I at least get a name from you?" You knew it was a stretch, but if he named himself then you could stop calling him names that generally unease you, like the shadow.

"Batman."

Never mind that was worse.

"No not doing that. Mmm could I call you B?"

He hummed, and you swore his cryptics are gonna kill you.

Hi, this is random, but would you mind sharing more about your gut issues/long covid? (I.e. diagnosis, treatment). I have chronic fatigue, and gut issues that are definitely linked to that, but all of my doctors are being extremely useless about it. (No worries if this is not the kind of info you want to share with a total stranger on the internet)

(This is in reference to my comment on this post)

@reptilerex I appreciate you recognizing the sensitivity of this ask, I am going to go ahead and answer it because I feel like the likelihood that you or someone you know (or even others of my readers) are struggling with long covid and finding adequate medical help vastly outweighs the minuscule probability that you've hacked into HIPAA records and are planning to dox me lol

so in the immediate aftermath of my first bout of covid (despite vaxxing and masking regularly, I'm up to two now 😭) my obvious symptoms were fatigue – going to the grocery store would wear me out for 2+ days – and a 20 year-old scar from a car accident reopened, which sounds like some scurvy ass bullshit, and I do wonder if the fact that my friend @niqaeli, who knew that long covid symptoms are highly correlated with MCAS symptoms and was encouraging me to start MCAS otc treatments like vitamin C supplements, helped. (worth noting that while I didn't hear anything about old scars reopening as a covid/post covid thing before it happened to me, but when I told people about it, they were like "oh yeah, that happened to me or someone I know" SO often) My doctor sent me to a wound specialist for that, and they kept poking it trying to figure out if there was some embedded shrapnel that they hadn't realized was in there originally, but ultimately it just healed back over much redder and angrier than the first time.

so then, the fatigue. My doctor had me wait three months because it wasn't officially long covid until three months. obnoxious as hell. I found out the DMV accepts long covid for a disability placard reason and got my doctor to write me a DMV form about how I couldn't walk hardly any distance. she was willing to do that before the three month mark.

I was Johnny on the spot coming back three months after, the first thing she did was send me for a chest x-ray because the obvious/expected reason for fatigue is you're not getting enough O2 in your blood. There was nothing wrong with my lungs and we were kind of at a dead end until I presented my doctor with more options.

I mean, I was kind of like, my PCP is being useless, I have a PPO, why can't I just go directly to a specialist, but it turns out specialist won't take you without a referral because reasons. I had heard rheumatologist is as good at figuring out weird vague shit so I tried to book there but when I told them long covid, they said that wasn't their department. They said I needed to go see an immunologist which sounded wrong to me, but there was a pretty good HIV specialist immunologist in the area that I tried to book with who said no that's not what long covid is. someone recommended a Long Covid Specialty clinic in a city that is 2 to 5 hours away depending on traffic and I knew I wasn't making that drive in my current condition so was like somebody local gotta help me.

so I went back to my PCP and said to her that I had learned from disability communities online that sometimes a rheumatologist can be helpful. And she said OK we can do some blood tests for inflammation markers to see if I can justify a referral to a rheumatologist. (and I thought of my weird scar issue and thought gee I better have some weird inflammation markers)

So I had some inflammation markers pop and I got a referral to a rheumatologist, and they were actually willing to see me. The rheumatologist ordered so many tests, like an unbelievable number of tests. I think they drew like eight vials of blood. Plus other samples. The rheumatologist was basically like let's look for anything and everything.

I had a borderline response on Calprotectin. To quote from the explainer in the test notes:

Calprotectin in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis can be five to several thousand times above the reference population (50 mcg/g or less). Levels are usually 50 mcg/g or less in healthy patients and with irritable bowel syndrome.

so I wasn't high enough to qualify for IBD outright from that test results, but I was high enough that it flagged to the rheumatologist, and I had reported a family history (brother has IBD), so he said that was enough to diagnose and started prescribing me for that.

The thing is, rheumatology is an ass backwards way to get an IBD diagnosis and I was having another symptom that I hadn't reported because I was a dumbass and this is the apocryphal frog boiling slowly thing. I was having fairly regular loose stool/diarrhea. if I had told my PCP that could I have gotten a referral to a gastroenterologist and gotten a less ass backwards diagnosis?

I hadn't told my PCP about loose stools for two reasons:

I didn't think it was relevant to the fatigue, and in fact, I still didn't think it was relevant when the rheumatologist called it, and I was really surprised when taking medication for IBD did actually turn out to help the fatigue

I knew I was lactose intolerant, so I thought it was already explained. However, the rheumatologist and I had this exchange:

Him: so do you still drink regular milk or just Lactaid?

Me: Lactaid

Him: then you shouldn't still be having diarrhea

Me:…

I can't remember the first med he started me on because I was only on it for a couple of weeks before we had to switch. (it helped a lot when I could tolerate it but about every three days I had to throw up and then I felt awful and didn't take the med for a couple of days and you can guess how that went.) the one that I went on long-term that actually worked without side effects for me was mesalamine/lialda. I also started experimenting with some dietary changes, the low FODMAP diet is intended for IBS not IBD, but you are still expected to have IBD triggers so I was playing around with that.

for a few weeks, I had incredible improving energy. It was crazy.

then I made what I can only now think of as a mistake in trying to be proactive about my care. because I had stumbled ass backwards into an IBD diagnosis and I felt like I should have gastroenterologist confirm it, and I went to go see my brother's gastroenterologist. he wanted to do a colonoscopy and he asked me to go off the mesalamine for six weeks so that he could see what my colon was like without treatment and it was the worst fucking six weeks of my life. Hated it. colonoscopy results: he didn't see anything fucking wrong and would not diagnose IBD or prescribe mesalamine based on what he found. I said, but the mesalamine improves my symptoms, what does that mean? He said, it means keep seeing your rheumatologist.

I went back to the rheumatologist and told him about the whole debacle with the gastroenterologist and he was like "so how did he explain your inflammation readings?" like CHECKMATE. And he concluded that any lesions I had must be in the small intestine, not the large intestine and so were not seen by colonoscopy.

I kept taking mesalamine. My improvement was slower after the break from it which sucks but I did get back to normal lab work within six months, hallelujah.

Follow up: MORE stuff that might have been avoided if I had gastroenterologist regularly, had gotten an IBD diagnosis from a gastroenterologist, or had mentioned my shitty symptoms in the immediate: the gallbladder bullshit this summer

I had my second round of covid in May and I didn't notice a lot of fatigue coming out of it, though I was more cautious with myself the second time around, but I was sort of holding my breath for what horrible nonsense is going to come out of this now? so then I had what I thought was a really bad case of Gerd that didn't go away for two weeks even though my Gerd usually resolves in like a day. I went to my PCP twice during this period and then ultimately ended up at the ER when I realized my pain was in my side not central anymore and I was worried about appendicitis. It wasn't appendicitis. It was my gallbladder. and it came out that night. overall, I am very happy with how the hospital handled the emergency for instance, I didn't realize until two weeks later that I seriously could've died because they were so calm about it the whole time but like they don't do same-day surgery unless death is on the line, let's be real.

but here's things that could have been helped if I had better gastroenterology care:

I didn't find this out until I was researching gallstones after the fact, and I would like to think a gastroenterologist would have warned me whereas the rheumatologist wasn't super aware of it but: IBD can lead to gallstones because one of the ways a cholesterol gallstone forms is, if you get an imbalance of bile and cholesterol in your gallbladder; your body wants to recycle bile by reabsorbing it at the end of your small intestine, but if you have IBD, sometimes it loses the bile instead of reabsorbing it, and then you get an overabundance of cholesterol, turning into a gallstone the size of a golf ball

I told my PCP it was a case of Gerd that wouldn't go away, but I didn't tell her I was also having diarrhea. Diarrhea is not a Gerd symptom. Maybe if I had just fucking told her she might've recognized or could've sent me to somebody who would have recognized it as a gallbladder symptom before it turned into an immediate emergency

tl;dr don't hide your gut symptoms from your doctor because you "think" you know what's wrong with your guts or that it's not related to your other problems or you're embarrassed or what the fuck ever just tell them that you're shitting yourself because it might turn out to be important

Hello guys today’s blog is different today I watched Nezha 2 again today and I can tell the difference from the first time I watched it to the second time I watched it, it was more epic this time that I watched it than the first time I watched it and the theater that I went to today was so big that I actually cosplayed a character today and it was fun even though my mosquito bites due to being a tropical hot country in Cambodia and it’s really hot season right now here and it’s really hot that can’t go anywhere until nighttime Nezha 2 is one of my all time favorite movies to watch cause of everything in it and I only like Nezha, Hetong and Lutong cause Nezha is the sassiest baddie cutie during the whole entire both movies,Hetong I like her because she can fly in the sky and she can make her wings bigger to cover herself whenever she wanted to I wish I have wings like her so I can cover myself with my wings like a blanket so I can go to sleep,Lutong I like him it’s because he’s hot as hell like I’m blushing right now before I even post this idk what else to say about him and that’s all for lutong.

FBA Academy Review

What is the FBA Academy?

The FBA Academy is David Zalenski’s Amazon private label training course and a part of EcomHub. The best feature of this FBA course is product validation. David’s team will look into your product idea and let you know if it’s the right path to take. This is incredibly valuable, especially for a beginner. You will also learn EcomHub’s trademarked Rank and Bank system, which teaches you how to launch a product and rank it to the front page of Amazon.

The training includes 7 hours of videos spread across 20 modules. Purchase of the course gets you lifetime access. Bonus materials include spreadsheets, templates, and David’s copyrighted strategy for creating paid traffic- the PPC Spyder Launch. You’ll also get 3 live coaching calls per week with the team/David, and access to a private Facebook group for the rest of your life.

Who is David Zaleski, Creator of FBA Academy?

David Zaleski is a 7-figure ecommerce seller who built a $5 million Amazon business in 5 years with only $4800 of Amazon start-up costs .

David started selling products online just before high school when he was 14. He flipped Alibaba products on eBay. 4 years later, at 18, he started his first Amazon business. Within 6 years, David grew that business to $9 million in sales.

Besides selling on Amazon, David had a podcast and YouTube channel. He has not updated either of these outlets lately. Currently, he is developing EcomHub into an Amazon “studio” where any level of Amazon seller can come for specific services. He also closely runs his Amazon automation agency, the FBA Academy Done-For-You program, closely with this private label course.

The FBA Academy Business Model: What is Amazon Private Label?

Amazon private label involves ordering a generic, brandless product and putting your own logo on it. You may add other variations to stand out from competitors, like upgrades, color options, or bundled products. Then, Amazon handles the shipping and handling and takes a cut off your profits. Therefore, it is one of the most expensive Amazon FBA business models to start. Besides FBA fees, you will also have to pay for brand and logo design, sourcing products, testing products, and running Amazon PPC campaigns to drive traffic.

But, private label also has higher profit margins- often up to 40%. Other business models, like Amazon dropshipping , have much smaller margins around 10-30%.

If you decide to follow an Amazon FBA private label business model, plan to spend $15K-$20K in startup costs alone, besides any course you decide to take.

What is the Difference Between Amazon FBA and Amazon Dropshipping?

With Amazon FBA private label, you sell your own products. But, Amazon dropshipping involves selling other brands’ products in your store. It’s also FBM (Fulfilled by Merchant). This means your supplier ships the product directly to the customer instead of an Amazon warehouse. You can also dropship off of Amazon, using other platforms like Shopify and/or eBay. Amazon dropshipping has the lowest of all Amazon business model profit margins- between 10-30%, while private label earns around 40%.

When Does the FBA Academy Start and Finish?

The FBA Academy is self-paced and starts at the time of your purchase. You have lifetime access to all its features, including weekly coach support calls, and can revisit course content.

What Modules are in the FBA Academy Program?

1: Welcome This first module is purely introductory. Learn about FBA, upcoming course content, and general tips to set the scene. You will also set up your Amazon Seller Central account.

2: Search For Your Product Module 2 talks about not only finding a product but also choosing a niche, branding your company, and marketing it to stand apart from competitors. David will also cover Amazon FBA fees, which may make you change your mind about this online business entirely.

3: Source David teaches you multiple strategies to implement when finding suppliers. He will also give valuable tips for communicating with suppliers from other countries, specifically China. Finally, learn about product codes and how to manage them efficiently for your store.

4: Launching Your Product This module covers product launch and specific strategies to optimize your product listing, like organic keyword research and customer coupons.

5: Rank and Bank (Trademarked Strategy) Here, you’ll hear an overview of how David promotes products while using Amazon as a search engine rather than an online store. If you can organically rank your products, you’ll save on Amazon advertising costs.

6: Listing Your Product Along the Rank and Bank system, there are many strategies to implement to bring your listing to the top of Amazon (and win the Amazon Buy Box). This module will help you with product pricing, professional product photography, and more.

7: Setting up Rank and Bank This module includes information on how to connect a product Facebook page (fanpage) with Manychat. David uses this strategy to bring in more customers and provide exemplary customer service.

8: More Information on Manychat This module explains how to connect with customers and how to continue the flow to a purchase.

9, 10, 11: Rank and Bank Info It’s great to see that David covers Rank and Bank in multiple modules, so that you can get the full picture. Since it’s trademarked, you won’t find this exact information anywhere else.

12: Facebook Ads Rather than generating a Facebook ad for your Amazon page, these ads will help you get customers to your Facebook page, and then onto your Manychat.

13 & 14: FAQ Here, you’ll get the answers to some frequently asked questions and receive bonus materials. FAQs include questions for international sellers.

20: Coaching Calls David’s coaching team downloads weekly coaching calls. They’re updated each week, and you can go back and watch them in this module.

Summary

Its’ essential to find valid reviews of a course away from its salespage. There are not many reviews of this FBA course online outside of David’s website. There are a number of professionally handled complaints listed on the BBB website, which look impressive at first. However, after reviewing the messages, they may not be real. Each complaint uses very similar wording, which makes me wonder where they came from.

Is FBA Academy a Scam?

No, David Zaleski’s FBA Academy is not a scam. You will learn his unique system for ranking your private label product, and have the peace of mind of product validation.

Some people believe that expensive courses (and coaches) are scams just because of their higher ticket price. They say that you can find the same information for free on YouTube. While you can find great information there, without a course, you will miss out on some amazing benefits. For instance, paid courses include extra services, ongoing coaching, active communities of like-minded people, and more. Plus, you will learn from the mistakes others have made, and be able to work through a structured course rather than sift through a disorganized heap of YouTube videos.

How Technology Is Changing the Driver’s License Process in Canada: 2025 Update

In the ever-evolving world of technology, the process of obtaining a driver's license in Canada is undergoing significant transformation. From online study tools to AI-assisted road tests, advancements in technology are reshaping how new drivers prepare for, take, and even manage their driver’s licenses. Whether you're a new resident, a teenager, or an experienced driver upgrading your license, understanding these technological changes is crucial. This blog explores the key developments in the licensing process and how technology is making it easier, more efficient, and even safer to get your driver’s license in 2025.

1. Online Study Tools and Test Preparation

One of the most notable changes in the licensing process in Canada is the availability of online study resources. In 2025, many provinces have embraced digital tools to help drivers prepare for the written knowledge test. Websites like licenseprep.ca provide online practice tests, detailed study guides, and interactive content that covers everything from road signs to traffic laws.

Gone are the days when you had to rely solely on paper handbooks. With the convenience of online platforms, you can access study materials anytime, anywhere. These resources often feature real-time feedback, allowing you to track your progress and pinpoint areas that need improvement. The digital approach not only makes studying more flexible but also ensures that you are up to date with the latest traffic laws and regulations.

2. Digital Driver’s License (eDL)

In several Canadian provinces, the digital driver’s license (eDL) has become a reality. Ontario and British Columbia have already rolled out this innovative service, where drivers can access their license through a mobile app. The eDL allows users to store a digital version of their license securely on their smartphones.

The eDL is accepted as an official form of ID and can be used for everything from purchasing alcohol to showing your license to law enforcement. In the future, we can expect more provinces to adopt this technology, providing greater convenience and security for Canadian drivers. This shift also reduces the risk of losing your physical card and eliminates the need to carry a bulky wallet.

3. AI-Assisted Road Tests

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is starting to play a role in Canada’s road test evaluations. AI-assisted driving tests are being piloted in some provinces, where in-car sensors and cameras track your performance during the road test. These systems can monitor things like your speed, lane positioning, and the quality of your braking, providing examiners with objective data to supplement their judgment.

While AI is not yet fully replacing human examiners, it’s enhancing the overall assessment process. By using AI, the road test becomes more precise, ensuring that every driver is evaluated fairly based on their skills and abilities. In the long term, AI-assisted evaluations could help reduce human error and improve safety on the road.

4. Virtual Reality (VR) Driving Simulators

In an effort to improve driving education, some driving schools are now incorporating virtual reality (VR) simulators into their training programs. These simulators replicate real-world driving scenarios, allowing students to practice their skills in a controlled environment before getting behind the wheel. They can practice everything from parallel parking to handling adverse weather conditions without the risk.

While VR training isn’t mandatory, it offers valuable benefits, particularly for new drivers who are nervous or lack experience in specific driving situations. It’s a safe and effective way to build confidence and become comfortable with a variety of driving scenarios that might be hard to replicate in a regular driving school setting.

5. Online Knowledge Tests and Faster Licensing

In some provinces, you can now take the written knowledge test online. This is especially beneficial for people who might not have access to a local service center or who prefer the convenience of studying and testing from home. By offering online tests, provinces can reduce wait times and make the licensing process more accessible.

Moreover, some provinces are streamlining the process of upgrading your license. For example, in Ontario, the G1 license can now be upgraded to G2 after only 8 months if you complete an accredited driver education program. This shorter waiting period allows new drivers to gain more experience on the road and work towards their full G license faster.

6. Automated and Digital Driver’s Education

Canada’s driver education programs have also adapted to technology by offering more automated and digital learning options. Many driving schools now provide online courses that allow students to complete theoretical lessons at their own pace. These programs often include interactive quizzes, video tutorials, and real-world simulations to help students learn road safety and driving laws.

The convenience of online driver’s education has made it easier for people with busy schedules to complete their courses. These programs also enable instructors to track students' progress digitally, ensuring that they have mastered the required knowledge before moving on to practical training.

7. The Future of Driver’s Licenses in Canada

Looking ahead, it’s clear that technology will continue to play a significant role in shaping the future of driving in Canada. From autonomous vehicles to smart roads that communicate with cars, the world of driving is rapidly changing. The driver’s license process will likely evolve to accommodate these new technologies, and we may see more digital tools, AI-driven tests, and even the introduction of self-driving car licenses in the future.

Additionally, with climate change being a key focus of Canadian policy, future licenses may also include environmental considerations. For instance, drivers could be required to take courses on eco-friendly driving techniques, or there may be new policies that encourage the adoption of electric vehicles.

Navigating the 2025 Driver’s License Process:

Stay Up-to-Date: Technology is advancing rapidly, so keep an eye on new developments related to licensing procedures in your province.

Leverage Online Resources: Use online study tools like licenseprep.ca to ensure you’re prepared for both written and practical tests.

Consider Driver Education Programs: While online learning is helpful, consider enrolling in a driving school for hands-on experience and confidence-building.

Get Comfortable with Digital Licensing: Learn about the digital driver’s license option in your province for added convenience and security.

Prepare for the Future: Be ready for possible changes in driver’s licensing laws, especially as autonomous vehicles and green technologies become more integrated into Canadian roads.

Learn the Rules with licenseprep.ca Driving laws may differ from what you're used to. Use licenseprep.ca to study road signs, local rules, and prepare for your tests confidently.

How Server Location Impacts Your Website

Choosing the right web hosting service is critical to the success of any online presence. Among the various factors to consider, server location stands out as a key element. Server Location refers to the geographic location of the data centre where your website’s files and data are stored. While it might seem like a technical detail, its influence on website speed, performance, and user satisfaction cannot be overstated.

Website Speed and Latency

The closer the server is to your website visitors, the lower the latency or delay in data transfer. For instance, if your server is located in Europe but your target audience is in Asia, the physical distance can cause delays in loading time. Faster websites not only create a better user experience but also encourage visitors to stay longer. Research shows that users are more likely to leave a site if it takes more than a few seconds to load, making server proximity critical for reducing bounce rates.

Boosting SEO Performance

Search engine optimization (SEO) plays a vital role in driving organic traffic to your website. Server location directly affects page load speed, which is a crucial ranking factor for search engines like Google. Additionally, if your website is targeting a specific region, having a server in that region can enhance its visibility in local search results. This geotargeting benefit can give your site a competitive edge in regional markets.

Enhancing User Experience

Modern internet users expect instant results when browsing websites. A server closer to your target audience ensures they can quickly access content, stream videos, or complete transactions without delays. A smooth user experience not only improves customer satisfaction but also increases the likelihood of conversions, whether it’s a sale, a subscription, or another desired action.

Meeting Legal and Compliance Requirements

Different regions have distinct laws and regulations regarding data storage and privacy. For example, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union mandates strict control over the storage and processing of personal data. Hosting your website on a server in a compliant region helps you meet these legal requirements. This ensures your business avoids fines or legal complications while building trust with your users.

Data Security and Reliability

Server location also influences the security of your website. Data centers in certain regions are better equipped to handle threats, including cyberattacks and natural disasters. Locations with advanced cybersecurity infrastructure and disaster recovery systems provide an added layer of protection, ensuring your website remains operational even in adverse conditions.

Global Reach with Content Delivery Networks (CDNs)

If your website targets a global audience, relying on a single server may not be sufficient. Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) can help bridge the gap by distributing copies of your website across multiple servers worldwide. This ensures faster delivery of content to users regardless of their location. CDNs optimize the user experience and help businesses scale efficiently.

Conclusion

The server location in web hosting is a fundamental factor that impacts the speed, accessibility, and reliability of your website. It influences user experience, search engine rankings, data security, and legal compliance. When choosing a web hosting service, prioritize server locations that align with your target audience and business goals. By making an informed decision, you can ensure a faster, safer, and more successful online presence for your website.

Revitalizing Local Retail: How The Dash Shop Empowers Small Businesses in the Age of E-Commerce Giants

The landscape of retail has been undergoing a major shift over the past decade. Brick-and-mortar stores, once the heart of local communities, are facing unprecedented challenges. The rise of big online e-commerce platforms has brought about convenience and variety for customers, but it has also squeezed the lifeblood out of many small retailers. As local shops struggle to compete with the sheer scale and reach of these digital behemoths, they often find themselves fighting an uphill battle to stay relevant and profitable. But there’s hope on the horizon, and it’s called The Dash Shop.

The Struggle of Local Retailers

Walk down any main street in a small town or city, and you’ll likely see the signs: “For Rent” or “Closing Down Sale.” These aren’t just businesses shutting their doors; they’re parts of our community’s fabric being torn away. Small retailers are the backbone of local economies, offering unique products, personalized customer service, and a sense of community that giant online platforms simply can’t match. However, the challenges they face are immense.

Rent and operational costs continue to rise, while foot traffic dwindles as more consumers turn to the convenience of online shopping. The pandemic only accelerated this trend, pushing many local retailers to the brink. Without the vast resources of large corporations, these businesses often find it difficult to invest in the technology and marketing needed to compete in the digital age.

Enter The Dash Shop: Empowering Local Retailers

The Dash Shop is here to change the game. Our mission is simple yet profound: to give power back to the local retailers. We believe that every small business should have the opportunity to thrive, regardless of the competition. With The Dash Shop, retailers can establish an online presence that allows them to reach their local customers more effectively and efficiently.

No Commission Fees, More Profit

One of the biggest challenges small retailers face when selling online is the high commission fees charged by major e-commerce platforms. These fees can eat into already thin profit margins, making it even harder for local shops to stay afloat. The Dash Shop eliminates this hurdle by offering a platform where retailers can sell their products without incurring any commission fees. This means more money stays in the pockets of the people who need it most – the local business owners.

Fast and Secure Local Deliveries

Another significant advantage of The Dash Shop is our robust delivery system. Retailers can sell their products online and have them delivered directly to their local customers in a fast and efficient manner. This isn’t just about speed; it’s about security and reliability. With The Dash Shop, retailers don’t have to worry about their products getting lost or stolen during the delivery process. Our system ensures that products reach their destination safely, giving both retailers and customers peace of mind.

Driving Foot Traffic with Free Discount Coupons

In addition to facilitating online sales, The Dash Shop also helps retailers drive foot traffic to their physical stores. How? By allowing them to create and distribute discount coupons at no cost. These coupons are a powerful tool for attracting customers, encouraging them to visit the store and discover the unique products and personalized service that local retailers offer.

Imagine being able to offer your customers a special discount on their favorite items or a promotion on new arrivals without worrying about the cost of printing and distributing coupons. With The Dash Shop, it’s all possible and free. This feature not only boosts sales but also helps to build stronger relationships between retailers and their local communities.

A Community-Centric Approach

The Dash Shop isn’t just a platform; it’s a community. We understand that small businesses are the heart of our neighborhoods. They create jobs, support local events, and give our towns and cities their unique character. By providing retailers with the tools they need to succeed, The Dash Shop is helping to ensure that our communities remain vibrant and prosperous.

The Future is Local

The retail landscape is changing, but that doesn’t mean local shops have to disappear. With The Dash Shop, small businesses can embrace the future while staying true to their roots. They can compete with the giants of e-commerce, attract more customers, and keep more of their hard-earned profits. It’s about leveling the playing field and ensuring that the charm and character of our local communities don’t get lost in the shuffle of progress.

Join the Movement

If you’re a small retailer feeling the pressure of the digital age, know that you’re not alone. The Dash Shop is here to support you, providing a platform that empowers you to thrive in an increasingly competitive market. Join us in our mission to revitalize local retail and give power back to the businesses that make our communities special. The future of retail is local, and with The Dash Shop, that future is bright.

Harnessing Passive Income with CRO Strategies: Insights by cro.media

Boost your landing page's effectiveness with CRO principles and maximize conversions.

Source: https://cro.media/insights/ux-ui/crafting-high-performing-landing-pages-cro-principles/

Passive income represents the epitome of working smarter, not harder, with its potential to supplement earnings and build long-term wealth. At cro.media, we believe that passive income ventures, much like Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO), are about maximizing value from every effort. Here's how CRO principles can amplify passive income strategies.

Transforming Traffic Into Conversions

For many passive income ideas, from dropshipping to affiliate marketing, the key to success lies in effective CRO:

Optimized User Flows: Ensure a seamless journey from discovery to purchase with intuitive navigation and clear calls-to-action (CTAs).

A/B Testing: Experiment with landing pages, product descriptions, and CTAs to identify what drives the most conversions.

Data-Driven Insights: Leverage analytics to understand user behavior and refine strategies to align with audience preferences.

By fine-tuning the user experience, CRO transforms passive income ventures into scalable revenue streams.

Passive Income Meets Automation

Automation is central to both CRO and passive income:

Streamlining Workflows: Use tools to automate repetitive tasks, such as email marketing for digital product sales or ad retargeting for affiliate links. Learn more about Shopify app development.

Predictive Analytics: CRO tools can forecast which strategies will yield the best ROI, allowing you to focus on the most lucrative income streams.

Cross-Selling Opportunities: For dropshipping or print-on-demand stores, automated product recommendations can increase average order value.

Automation minimizes manual intervention, keeping passive income truly passive.

Enhancing Credibility and Trust

Trust is a critical CRO factor, especially for passive income models reliant on online sales or investments:

Social Proof: Showcase customer reviews or user-generated content to validate your offerings.

Secure Transactions: Highlight security features, such as encrypted payment systems, to reassure customers.

Professional Design: A visually appealing, functional website fosters credibility and encourages conversions.

"Strong CRO foundations ensure trust remains high, driving repeat engagement and income growth."

Strong CRO foundations ensure trust remains high, driving repeat engagement and income growth. See our Shopify agency services.

Diversification Through Strategic Insights

Just as CRO encourages testing and adaptation, passive income requires diversification:

Experimentation: Test multiple streams, such as affiliate marketing, digital product sales, or REIT investments, to identify the most profitable avenues.

Audience Segmentation: Use CRO principles to segment audiences and tailor offerings, ensuring relevance and resonance with target groups.

Sustainable Scaling: Focus on scalable models like print-on-demand or stock photography, which grow without proportional increases in effort.

Diversified strategies supported by CRO insights reduce risk and maximize passive income potential.

Maximizing Long-Term Gains

CRO's iterative nature aligns perfectly with building sustainable passive income:

Continuous Improvement: Regularly refine strategies based on performance data, from content adjustments to pricing experiments.

Retention Optimization: Implement loyalty programs or subscription models to maintain consistent revenue streams.

Scalability Focus: Invest in scalable tools and platforms that grow alongside your passive income ventures.

Public Apps — Available on the Shopify App Store, these apps are accessible to all Shopify merchants.

Custom Apps — Designed for a specific store, these apps are built to address unique business requirements.

Private Apps — Used within a single store and not listed on the App Store, these are ideal for businesses needing specialized functionalities.

Benefits of Shopify App Development

Enhanced Store Functionality — Custom apps allow store owners to integrate additional features beyond Shopify’s default capabilities.

Automated Processes — Reduce manual work by automating tasks such as order management, customer segmentation, and inventory tracking.

Improved Customer Experience — Features like chatbots, personalized recommendations, and loyalty programs can enhance user engagement.

Seamless Integrations — Apps can connect Shopify stores with third-party platforms such as CRM, ERP, and email marketing tools.

Key Considerations for Shopify App Development

Understanding Business Needs — Identifying gaps in your store’s functionality is crucial for developing an app that solves real problems.

Choosing the Right Tech Stack — Shopify apps are commonly built using Shopify’s API, Node.js, React, and Liquid.

App Security — Since apps handle sensitive customer data, security measures like data encryption and authentication protocols are essential.

Scalability & Performance — Ensure that your app can handle increased traffic and grow alongside your business.
