I’m in the start up phase still and looking to hire my first employee. I want to pay well on W2 rather than 1099, a bonus program for them to earn more, supply the tools and equipment they need, the car, the support they need all in hopes of retaining them long term. What have you done to retain your employees? What’s the reason others have left you? And has any of them left you and become your competitor - using what you thought them? Looking to learn from others. Thanks! Love this community!❤️Solved29Views1like7CommentsUsing Claude API and Facebook/Instgram API For Social posting
Curious if anyone else here has implemented API's into their websites. I just figured out how to enable Claude API and Facebook/Instgram API's to automaticall generate instagram/facebook descriptions, alt tags, and hashtags by clicking a button. Then I can click another button to uplaod directly to FB and IG. It's made my image gallery uploads and social uploads to my IG and FB pages a breeze. Huge game changer! I even have my stats in my site now and can comment on posts and DM's all through my site without having to go into my social platforms anymore. If anyone would like help with this, please let me know, would be glad to walk you through it.43Views1like6CommentsAre You Pricing Jobs for Profit or Just to Win the Job?
