๐ŸŽ #1 Thing I Did This Year

that saved me both money and time

In partnership with

This year was a different one for a lot of us who used to be focused on niche sites.

My whole thing was growing and flipping sites for a little over 10 years.

And then, poof, it was over. Wild.

Of course, that brought about a lot of change for most people.

For me, one of those changes both saved me time and money in the end.

More on that in a moment.

But first, Iโ€™ve got TWO sponsors today. One here, and one below. So, check โ€˜em out!

Born Out Of Anger

Sometimes, your motivation for doing something is one born out of anger.

The rage catalyst.

I admit that Iโ€™ve made more than one decision based on that this year.

But by far, the best decision to come out of anger was cancelling my Ahrefs subscription back in September.

Itโ€™s saved me both time and money.

Yes, time.

Savvy Investors Know Where to Get Their Newsโ€”Do You?

Hereโ€™s the truth: there is no magic formula when it comes to building wealth.

Much of the mainstream financial media is designed to drive traffic, not good decision-making. Whether itโ€™s disingenuous headlines or relentless scare tactics used to generate clicks, modern business news was not built to serve individual investors.

Luckily, we have The Daily Upside. Created by Wall Street insiders and bankers, this fresh, insightful newsletter delivers valuable insights that go beyond the headlines.

When I was paying for Ahrefs, I spent a lot of my day using it.

A lot.

Spot an interesting site in the SERPs? Letโ€™s look at it on Ahrefs.

Wonder if my sites got any new HARO links that I havenโ€™t seen? Letโ€™s look at it on Ahrefs.

Ooh, never seen this site before. Letโ€™s look at it on Ahrefs.

I swear I had to have spent most of my day in that damn tool.

Honestly, Iโ€™m not sure if it was something born of habit, a weird addiction, or just a stupid way of procrastinating.

These days I use Semrush as my main SEO tool, but Iโ€™m not paying for it every month. Cause I realized how much time I wasted in Ahrefs and I didnโ€™t want to repeat those same habits.

What change did you make this year that saved you time and money?
