𝕏 now rewards conversation (150× more than likes)


𝕏 just open-sourced their algorithm, giving you a new reason to get back to posting: where the old 𝕏 rewarded volume, the new 𝕏 rewards creators who show up in their replies and build conversations.

In short, a reply can be worth 150× more reach than a like.

The math doesn't make sense!!


The average CPA fee for a business return: $500-$2,000

Average tax overpayment for business owners without planning: $25,000-$50,000

That's not a typo.

You're paying someone $1,000 to cost you $35,000.

The math doesn't make sense.

But here's why it happens:

Your CPA's fee is based on the type of return, not results.

Whether you owe $20,000 or $200,000, they charge the same amount.

There's no incentive to dig deeper.

No bonus for finding extra deductions.

They get paid to file. So they filed.

Meanwhile, you write a $35,000 check to the IRS that's $35,000 more than it needs.

We flip this equation.

Our entire purpose is to find savings. That's it.

For $9/month, you get AI-powered analysis that identifies every specialized tax incentive you're missing. No contract, use us once, come back next year!!

                              The math finally makes sense.




It's efficient. It's profitable. And it's terrible for you.


Your CPA has a little secret.

During tax season, they're running an assembly line.

Return after return after return.

Collect documents.
Input numbers.
Generate forms.
File.
Next.

It's efficient. It's profitable, but it's terrible for you.

Because assembly lines don't stop to ask questions.

They don't pause to consider, other benefits.

They don't take time to research, "Is there a cost segregation opportunity here?"

They don't slow down to think, "This person could save $22,000 with a different strategy."

Assembly lines just process.

And you're not a product to be processed.

You're a business owner with a unique situation that deserves actual analysis.

STRYDE doesn't run an assembly line.

Every client gets the same thorough analysis — because that's the only way to find real savings.

Don't be another file on the assembly line.

Access your TikTok analytics


To view your TikTok analytics, access your profile, select the three lines in the top right corner, then choose “Creator Tools” and “Analytics.” This will take you to your analytics dashboard, where you’ll see three main categories tabbed at the top:

  • Overview: A quick snapshot of your account’s performance, including video views, watch times, retention rate, and follower growth over the last seven days (with options to view 28 or 60 days). This is great for follower metrics and spotting what content is performing well.
  • Content: Shows how your videos are doing, including likes, comments, shares, and how viewers are finding your posts.
  • Followers: Tracks and provides insights into your audience and follower growth. You'll need at least 100 followers to unlock this section, which shows audience demographics and trends in gained or lost followers.

How to set up a TikTok business account



Step 1: Download TikTok from the app store. Users can download the app for free by visiting their device’s app store, the Apple App Store (iPhone users) or the Google Play Store (Android users). Search for TikTok, tap Download, and follow the instructions to get started.


Step 2: Set up your Business Account. In the app, tap the three dots (…) at the top right of your Profile page, go to Settings and privacy, select Manage account, and switch to a Business Account. Then, choose the category that best fits your business to unlock personalized content, events, and helpful tools.


Step 3: Start creating. Get started and start creating content! Explore TikTok’s creative tools, test and produce videos, and have fun connecting with your audience. You can also visit the TikTok Business Center for additional guidance, resources, and tools to help your business get started.

Speed up your typing (by deleting faster)


If you spend a significant portion of your day typing—emails, documents, Slack messages, posts on Reddit about your hyperspecific hobby—and a lot of that time is wasted deleting things character by character. Holding down the backspace key like some kind of caveman is inefficient and frankly beneath you. These keyboard shortcuts will help you delete entire words, or even lines, at once, which is especially useful when you change your mind midsentence or realize you need to start over. Here’s how to do it—and keep in mind that your cursor has to be after the word or sentence you want to delete.

Delete entire words:

  • On Mac: Press Option + Delete.
  • On PC: Press Ctrl + Backspace.

Delete the whole line:

  • On Mac: Press Command + Delete.
  • On PC: Press Ctrl + Shift + Up Arrow + Delete on Windows (yeah, I realize this isn’t the easiest hack).

Once you get these shortcuts into muscle memory, you'll never go back to pecking away at the delete key one letter at a time. 

Check your URLs


Cybercriminals are apparently registering domains like rnicrosoft—yes, that's r-n-i-c-r-o-s-o-f-t—because in most fonts, "rn" looks very similar to "m” (especially on mobile), then sending fake security alerts to users so they click on them.

These fake sites mirror companies’ branding perfectly, making them nearly impossible to spot unless you're really paying attention. The fix: Hover over every link to check it before you click, and when in doubt, just type the URL yourself.
