🦄 Four quick things


Hey there, it's me again.

I gave you a break last week cause I had a stupid cold, but I'm all up in your biz now.

  • Quick question
  • Kickass deal on a plugin I love 😍
  • Another charity video audits update
  • Make me look good 😁

First up, a question - I *may* invest in a new link building service and I'm wondering what types of links you guys buy? Or are interested in buying if I'm vetting the entire service?

Or would you just prefer an in-depth course on link building? Reply and lemme know.

Next up, one of my favorite plugins is currently on AppSumo (at considerably less than my renewal in May) - check it here - I use this thing on several sites for custom homepages/hub pages, nice colored boxes, and more.

Next up, if you're still waiting on your video audit, I expect to have them all done by week's end (and get you that final count!). My air con went out over the weekend (and it's hella hot here in Vegas), which has gotten me slightly behind, but it is supposed to be fixed tomorrow!

Last up, my wife's bday is this week so I'll likely be scarce on social media. In addition to putting up with my bullshit, she's a kickass writer (and award-winning screenwriter). So if you're into serial killer books go on and check out her stuff on Amazon...so that I can take the credit for sending some bday sales her way 😁

Here's hoping it's cooler wherever you are than it is in Vegas.

Stay awesome,

Shawna

Online Income Memo by Skipblast You'll notice some changes with the way this email looks.

As a marketer, I've always been interested in how "real" businesses do their marketing. Even when they're not in my niche. And one of the weirdest things that I've seen that works are those heart-shaped pizzas that appear this time every year. The reason I think it's weird that it works so well for pizza places is that you get less pizza when it's in that heart shape. Like, why do people buy those? It's a terrible deal. What's crazy is how you can market to people around seasonal topics. If...

A year ago, I was firmly in the "I hate AI content" camp and it wasn't until a few months into 2023 that I accepted that it was time for me to change my views. My undergrad degree is in English and Journalism, so it's easy to see why that was my initial view. Truthfully, I still don't love AI content. But it doesn't really matter how I feel about it. Because SEO and growing niche sites doesn't have shit to do with emotions or feelings. It's about being willing to adapt and pivot to what's...
