They are just collecting data like facebook and other sites. Sometimes I get emails about questions from companies outside of California outside of San Diego (non locals) I get emails about welcoming new neighbor businesses. I think it needs work. Should focus more locally and not send emails... (more) They are just collecting data like facebook and other sites. Sometimes I get emails about questions from companies outside of California outside of San Diego (non locals) I get emails about welcoming new neighbor businesses. I think it needs work. Should focus more locally and not send emails about irrelevant businesses to my niche market. Platform tries to do a bunch of crap that I don't care about. The messeges are the same as notification WTH! Should be simpler and cater to each in functionality. I like answering questions but I already do that in Quora so I am not gonna waste my time there as well as other things I find useless. I have more to nag about but time is limited and if they don't fix the issues this is not gonna last.

drive for uber or lyft and pitch your service to passenger if a conversation allows it. But, be very mindful: Never push it. It gets awkward in a group of passengers too.

I once asked if they wanted to see my art book. I did not shove it down their throat but even so, a passenger in the group(who requested the ride) gave me really bad review because they probably felt offended by my artwork or I robbed the attention he/she(there are very sensitive people [haters, jealousy, mental problems, etc]) was looking for from the other passengers.

I wouldn't use it. I'd go with a react, angular, laravel, zend, or django framework. Wordpress is overrated. (more) I wouldn't use it. I'd go with a react, angular, laravel, zend, or django framework. Wordpress is overrated.

I don't promote for the holidays. Best time for me is after the holidays because there's less competition. (more) I don't promote for the holidays. Best time for me is after the holidays because there's less competition.

Yes there is a plugin: WPGoogleMaps But it may not have the functionality that you want. You have to buy the pro-version. It is very limited from last time I checked it out so I had to work with the Google Maps API to create custom functionality. In my case, I created custom shelter post-types. I...

It is very limited from last time I checked it out so I had to work with the Google Maps API to create custom functionality. In my case, I created custom shelter post-types. I had to add custom red-cross pins, allow you to add shelter addresses, and when you click the addresses, it will give you directions and details about the shelter.
