🤔 Questions

Does Mr. Beast ever truly smile?

I don’t follow him but whenever I see a photo of him it looks like he really didn’t want his picture taken.

Or, if you’re also a Bob’s Burger’s fan then you know the episode where Louise and her friends are looking for the “monster” in the water and the one girl says she makes a really good “I have diarrhea face” and then they all think she has the runs…anyways, that’s what I think of whenever I see a pic of Mr. Beast.

But I also have other questions for you today.

Here It Is…

What are you working on these days? What are you excited about?

Directories? YouTube? Ecomm? Newsletters? Rank & Rent? Agency/freelance? Facebook Bonus Program? Calculator/tool sites? Pinterest?

What is it for you?

I know that one of you built this and asked me to share it: https://company-name-generator.com/ (I sure hope you meant to share it here!)

I do wonder if that site needs an affiliate disclaimer for the Namecheap links? Also, check your title tag for the site.

Anyways…

In addition to getting even further behind in replying to emails (I’m sorry), I keep finding exciting things to take up all my time during the day.

You know about the directory sites.

What you don’t know is the local SEO thing I’m working on that is taking a buttload of my time just to get all setup and working before I can even tell you about it.

Those are the two things I am zeroed in on right now. Though YouTube is trying to get my attention.

But here’s the weird thing…agency life is dominating everything. I’m excited about parts of that, but not all of it. Doing local SEO for people literally local to me is more rewarding than I expected cause you can see the results for real people in your own city.

For the first time in like forever I’ve had a solid 12 months now where the agency is the largest percentage of income (thanks, HCU). Feels weird for it to not be sites.

Feels really weird. Not sure if I like that or not.

Also, don’t you hate getting emails from people who only send when they have an affiliate offer to promote? I got an email today from someone who hasn’t emailed out in like three years. wild.

And final question - I’m still open to anyone who wants to “guest post” or “takeover” this newsletter at the end of the month - is that you? Let me know what you wanna write about and I’ll let ya know if I think it’s a good fit.

Coming up…

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

Stay awesome,

Shawna
