Have you ever had the misfortune of sciatic nerve pain? Me neither until the wee hours of the morning. I tweaked something in my lower back during my workout yesterday that resulted in crazy pain at 2am and almost falling while trying to walk.

Don’t recommend.

Needless to say, ice packs have been my bestie today. And despite all this, I actually got some work done.

Anyways…

…

It’s Day 7 of me making a real effort to scale Growth Cupid. Finished a new landing page, and got most of the way done on ad creative for it. (If you want more details, I’m going a bit more in depth in my Skool community.)

(Quick reminder - you can see my recent emails in the archive here)

Need some citations for a client, rank & rent, or local directory site? I’ve got a yearly Unlimited plan for Jacky Chou’s 450+ local citations.

I’m reselling these for $20. Use the form here to order. (click the add-on box)

Is It Really A Surprise?

I told you before about the site that was making a comeback thanks to a successful YouTube channel.

The videos are embedded in the content, but the real secret sauce here is having videos that lead to clicks through to your website.

This site owner was posting about this in a private group that I’m in and today he mentioned that he’s seeing traffic numbers on his site that he’s never seen before. Ever.

So, if you have a HCU-hit site that you’re holding onto and hoping for a recovery, this seems to be the best path forward.

His channel is faceless, too. So you don’t even need to be on-camera.
