🙉 Tone Deaf?

Did you see the new interview from the Niche Pursuits podcast?

I didn’t actually watch/listen to it yet, but what a title in the thumbnail!

Then there’s the actual title “How I Hit $10K Months Blogging in 1 Year.”

But real quick…

It’s Day 9 of me making a real effort to scale Growth Cupid. Did some slow, personalized outreach to some businesses that I found on Facebook. And worked more on a creative for a future ad. (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)

Some Thoughts

I think it’s a no brainer that with all the HCU-hit sites ranking, that someone has to rank.

But at the same time I can’t help but wonder how the travel bloggers who were decimated by HCU feel about this?

I also find it interesting that her top country for Google organic is India.

SimilarWeb shows she’s currently getting a little over 30K traffic monthly.

If there’s one lesson here, it’s that affiliate plays are better in the travel niche.

And if you have a travel site hit by HCU just get a fresh domain.

Coming up…

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

Stay awesome,

Shawna
