đ ââď¸Â Avoid Black Friday Regrets
|
Black Friday is around the corner, and there will be many software deals. These offers might seem great, but be careful. Itâs easy to make purchases you might regret later. Why Iâm telling this? Few years ago, I bought a Black Friday deal for a software tool that looked promising. Unfortunately, it didnât meet my expectations. When I asked for a refund, I was told refunds werenât eligible for Black Friday deals! I know, bummer! But, no one wants to make those same mistakes. đ Here are Things to Be Careful About: âĄď¸ Impulse Buys: A survey found that 84% of all shoppers have made impulse purchases and often end up buying things they didnât plan for. Always ask yourself: Do I really need this? âĄď¸ No Refunds: Like my case, some deals come with strict no-refund policies, so always check the terms before purchasing. âĄď¸ Misleading Discounts: Some prices are inflated before discounts to make deals seem better than they are. đ Tips for Smarter Shopping: đ Make a List: Write down the software (or anything) you actually need. Stick to your list, no matter how tempting other offers seem. đ Research Policies: Before buying, check the storeâs return and refund rules. If refunds arenât allowed, think twice. đ Compare Prices: Look at prices from different retailers and watch out for hidden subscription renewals. So if youâre going to purchase any software deals or tools to improve your workflow or business, or even anything for daily life, shop smart and carefully. You can get good Black Friday deals without feeling bad about your purchases later. If you need help finding the right tools (not just deals) for your business, check out my Small Business Digital Essentials Handbook. This guide lists tools Iâve carefully chosen that can help you save time and money. Some of these might even have good Black Friday deals! Just remember to think before you buy! Happy (and smart) shopping! Minosh. â |

The first time I tried using AI to write a meta description for one of my blog posts, I thought I could just drop in a prompt and be done there. The result? It sounded⌠way too robotic, like something nobody would want to read. Maybe youâve felt the same. With all these tools around, itâs tempting to let AI do most of the work. But the truth is, and what almost everyone is not taking too seriously, is that you still have to be the boss. AI can write, but it canât think for you. The reason I...
Ten years ago, if you searched âdesk ideasâ on Pinterest, youâd mostly see nice photos, clean setups, white walls, and maybe a coffee mug. Nothing to buy, just inspiration. If you try that same search today, youâll see prices, sizes, stock updates, a âShopâ button, and some random AI stuff (which you can reduce in Settings â Refine your recommendations â Gen AI interests if needed). Whatâs actually happening here is that Pinterest is quietly turning itself into a shopping window. Thatâs why...
One night last year, I was just scrolling YouTube like usual when a video caught my eye. The title? Why The Worldâs Biggest Brands All Go To Sri Lanka. Cool, another nice piece of content, sounded interesting, but hereâs what made me click. It was posted by Ben Francis, the founder of Gymshark. Not a marketer or random influencer. The actual founder of a brand that grew from a garage startup to a $1.4 billion fitness business. It felt like I was hearing straight from the person behind the...
