I currently work for US Bank. I know I mentioned that the factory job wasn't too bad, but on hot days it was absolutely miserable. Not to mention towards the end my supervisors basically defended this guy who was a setup guy and was rude to everyone. They're excuse was he was retiring soon so we didn't have to put up with him much longer still that rubbed me the wrong way. I've been at US Bank for a year and a few months now. It'll be my two year anniversary in October. I love this job!

Currently, I don't have an online store but in the past, I was running online stores. I wasn't selling from my own inventory, instead I was using dropshipping and print on demand model. I did not make a lot of sales but I managed to make profits by selling the store.
Have you ever tried running an online store?

Are your forums family friendly or do they have NSFW content? Well, I do not like NSFW content, I always run a forum or blog that have family friendly content. Well, my forums and blogs aren't targeted towards underage people but still I want "safe" content on my forums.

When it comes to running a forum, what is your preferred niche, what niche is your forum. I have two forums, one is a debate forum where you can discuss multiple topics including religion and politics (the forum is under construction. My second forum is a mental health forum.

I don't have any worst birthday memories but my best birthday was when my sister spent half of her salary to buy me a gift, take to a movie and then treat in a restaurant.

I haven't tried them myself but I believe they are effective but the effectiveness might take a very long time.

I aim to become a successful author. I have published a few books but all of them failed to attract readers, I would like to publish books that draw a lot of readership

Art should be judged by beauty and meaning. Interestingly, some art lacks beauty and some art lacks meaning

Comparison is good as long as you do not fixate on someone else's success and become overly jealous. Comparing yourself with someone and try to improve yourself can be very good

There was once a political party named Green party in our country. It vouched for environmentalism. For many years, it failed even to win one seat, and finally it died.

We can see portfolio blogs/website but I think "personal blog" isn't a thing any more. Well, most of the people are niche or industry specific. They are blogging with Informational and educational content. Personal content isn't popular anymore. However, for vlogging, personal vlogs are becoming more popular

Great!
What monetization methods are you using, what monetization brings you most revenue? I only use adsense on my blogs.

That's the beauty of running a blog, everything is under your control. With forums, you depend on your users yo create content, your forum will thrive only when your users create content.

I certainly agree with you. Once this generation of people who grew along with forums and form whom forums were the best places for social interaction, are gone, forums will also be gone.

I have tried long from videos but these days I mostly do short form videos. That's because I do not have to work hard to create short videos. I can even create from text or static images. Visibility is also better with short videos

Hey folks! How's things?

I'm currently using premium software on a few of my forums. This one uses UBB Threads which is a paid software. I also use Woltlab Suite for Thee Zone, and currently use vBulletin for Glitch Talk. As for my other forums they all use free open source platforms or are hosted on free forum hosting like Forum Spark.

I left forums a few years ago to try to deal with my health.

When I came back, I told myself only have one forum and one forum only.

I have 8 of them.

I couldn't help myself if I tried.

I'm not an enthusiast, I'm an addict LOL

I do on a few of my forums.

I've noticed that I'm the only one really posting on them.

I try to post one article a month just to keep the area updated at least monthly.

Is organic traffic declining dramatically?

It seems like search results these days are sponsored and AI snippets. I'm actually seeing less organic results on Page One.

What do you all think about this issue?

Do you find SEO to be too complicated for beginners?

When you first started messing with SEO, how was it for you?

How long did it take you to get used to it?
