I get a lot of compliments on my newsletter. People have even suggested that I call it copywriting for the rest of us. Which is funny to me, because I'm still not half as good as today's guest. And yet, as you may have guessed from the episode title, we aren't even talking about copy today. Why? Because even though she's 10X better than me at copy and has helped me write $20k sales pages... that's not even what she does best. Today, we're going to discover how to win at SEO by exploring...

Our guest this week is brilliant. Generous. Somebody you want to know and follow. If there is one person that knows how to win at SEO, make friends, and build links, it’s her. Please welcome my friend, Gabby Miele. --- One thing I didn’t mention in our chat was that Gabby is a product and growth marketer at Pitchbox, outreach software for link building.

We talked previously in episode 66 with Val Geisler about winning at SEO by better onboarding people to your product, primarily through email.  And, in our last episode, we talked with Jay Clouse about community and again the overlap was with email. If SEO is the best way to build traffic, EMAIL is the flywheel that helps you grow that engine with deeper relationships. EMAIL is what builds LOYALTY. So I reached out to a new friend to talk more about email and how to become somebody’s...

Something has been… missing… for a lot of us over the past year. 2020, and now into 2021. A group of people who support one another. It’s not on Facebook, or instagram, or even Twitter (as much as we’d like to pretend it is, or could be). Those are.. Audience. A conversation, maybe, but more likely a place where you What we’ve been missing, many of us, in this pandemic is something else. Before we get into what that is, I want to point out a big trend recently: Zapier acquired Makerpad...

Onboarding. Not that exciting. Right? Wrong. Think about the last party you went to. (Remember parties?) How'd the host greet you at the door? Did they show you around? Introduce you to other people? SEO isn’t just about getting clicks from Google. You need clicks that drive your business and also contribute to a customer lifecycle, not just a funnel. We need those cold visitors to convert, to subscribe to our ideas and worldview, and then want to become evangelists. BUT, you can also...
