In partnership with

Today I want to share some of the things that I know will be taking up a lot of my time this year.

I’ve got some things that I’m already working on, as well as somethings that I plan on starting.

Before we jump in, I’ve got two sponsors today. First one is …

It’s Gonna Be Another Year Full Of Stuff

I’ve got somethings that I started in 2024, but never really got to where I want them to be.

Those things are:

• AI Music project

• Local newsletter (I know, I should really throw in the towel here, but I’m trying a different growth angle next)

• Faceless YouTube (I neglected this all 2024)

• KDP romance pen name (written by ghostwriter)

• Ecommerce (really want to put more of an effort into this)

• JV project building up Pinterest and Facebook page

I think these are the main things that fall into this category.

Things I’m not sure about:

• niche newsletters

• growing sites with Pinterest traffic

Writing newsletters takes a lot of time, so I may ease off on these some by changing publishing frequency.

Growing existing sites with Pinterest traffic is an easy win….for a dying/dead business model. Not sure what I’ll do here. For now, I’ll keep pinning but may stop.

Things that I’m doing well with and will continue growing:

• Growth Cupid

This is an obvious one, right? I’ll keep trying to figure out my ideal client and working towards that.

New things I’ll be doing/trying:

• flipping rank & rent sites to local businesses

• new niched down sister agency for Growth Cupid

• directory sites (maybe)

• local links project (building to fix my own problem)

• KDP ebooks on Amazon in non-fiction (with AI)

• start my own Etsy store for a niche newsletter (maybe)

• start a supplement company?

I’m also still (slowly) learning Python, so who knows where that will take me. And shout out to those of you who sent me tips on learning it!

And I think that’s everything!

Coming up…

More on what I’m working on and how it’s going.

Stay awesome,

Shawna

P.S. If you’re looking for high level discussions or tips on things like local SEO and Rank & Rent, I highly recommend Jacky Chou’s Advise community. I’ve been in it for several months and there’s tons of value in it, including a SOP for local SEO.
