    Mass Watermarking Images

    I’ve been doing a lot more of my work in Python and highly recommend it for SEOs (or anyone really). You could write a script to do all of this image editing automatically and even make the script download the proper directories via FTP, add the watermark, and reupload the images with one click...

    What's your take on AI generated content?

    I’ve never tried having the AI write any blog posts but it has written some amazing Python scripts and Excel macros. I could create a SaaS from any of these software tools I’ve had it produce. I’m saving over $10,000/year on subscriptions because I spent an afternoon playing around with having...

    Organizing your day by focus and not time

    It makes perfect sense only if you’re looking for a justification to be lazy. Modern man is crippled by luxury and leisure. Laziness is no longer punished by death. Not too long ago, you’d starve to death waiting to “feel” like tending your garden. Or you’d freeze to death waiting to “feel”...

    What's the best book about motivation that you can recommend?

    If you’re looking for motivation in a book, you’ve already lost. Motivation is a false god. Do you need motivation or a pep talk to fill up at the gas station? It’s a boring and annoying task but we all just do it because it’s a necessity to accomplish our goal (getting someplace) and avoiding...

    Any Tool or Macro to Add Background and Drop Shadow to Screenshots Easily?

    Look into the Photoshop “batch” command. You can record yourself manually doing what you want done once and then automate it for every future image.

    I tried the Rank & Rent Method. I failed. What about you?

    Don’t make a rank and rent site and then try to find your customer. Find your customer and then build the site once you’ve got at least one person who wants to buy the leads.

    Looking For Someone To Connect an API to WordPress

    I'm looking for somebody who can hook up the API from Anchor Distributors (https://www.anchordistributors.com/) to a WordPress/WooCommerce website. This would be a contract job to help me finish a project for a client whose other vendor lost their developer and this is one of the last things...

    The Power of Being First to Mind

    Being the first to market is a huge advantage in marketing, but only insofar as it makes your company first to mind (The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing). Being the first to mind in a market is one of the biggest advantages in marketing because it creates a level of trust, comfort, and preference...

    Awesome up sell page found in the wild (share yours here too)

    Now THIS is how you up sell during your checkout process. The image of the truck triggers the user's imagination and inspires thoughts about everything that could go wrong. Showing the prices for repairs creates high anchor points for price comparison. Having the insurance price in a smaller...

    What Can We Learn About SEO from Google's Leaked Documents?

    It is interesting but after skimming through the files for about an hour I didn't really find anything useful for SEO. It's definitely possible that I missed stuff.

    What Can We Learn About SEO from Google's Leaked Documents?

    Politics aside, Project Veritas released a new video on a Google whistleblower and they discuss some topics like blacklisted domains from search results, flagged search queries, and some other SEO-related stuff. Check it out here...

    Back to Blogging. I Lucked Out on a Good Domain

    This entire post is gold but I'd like to elaborate on this point specifically. You may want to add Stackcash's formula as a part of your keyword research process because it gives you a metric to prioritize which keywords/hubs you should go after first based on highest profit opportunity. I'm...

    Ebay Stores.. who's running one/more?

    For my own shop, I am very lucky to live in an apartment complex with a lot of rich Asian foreigner students who come here, buy tons of luxury products, then throw them all away when they leave. I get my inventory for free from people moving out of my building and I sell it on my eBay account to...

    Ebay Stores.. who's running one/more?

    I run my own eBay store and also do some consulting for a couple companies doing over $100k/mo in revenue on the bay. Happy to answer any questions the best I can. One thing I will say is that the "Promoted Listings" feature of eBay has tremendous ROI.

    Take A Backup Of Your Site. Right Now!!

    Here's my backup scheme: My entire server is backed up with my provider, currently thinking about using Rsync and a SSD/Raspberry Pi to back everything up as well. All of my WordPress sites are backed up locally on the server as well as to at least one 3rd party platform (like Dropbox/GDrive)...

    Saw this tool on reddit somewhere and it's like Google Alerts but for reddit. And it's free. https://f5bot.com

    Nested Heading Tags or The Ladder

    This is correct and I recommend using it in conjunction with the <section> tags and all the other semantic HTML5 magic. Jason Barnard wrote this guide: https://www.semrush.com/blog/semantic-html5-guide/ The images are great references too.

    Call Tracking Software Recommendation For Lead Generation

    I use Call Tracking Metrics, been a happy customer for years. Not sure how their API is though because I just use the built in features. Went with them because they integrated with all of the other software platforms I was using at the time when others didn't.

    The State of BuSo Address [BuSo 2.0] - New Features, Some Gone, Stuff Coming Soon, & Your Feedback!

    I love everything about the new redesign except one annoying little thing: on mobile I have to click to open the menu before I can click "new posts" when before I could just click "new posts" in a single click.

    Google Data Studio

    I grew skeptical of Google when I realized they put people in an "information bubble" with their search results. I'm smart enough to not be fooled. I grew suspcious of Google when I read about their persecution of SEOs by abusing their access to their emails. I follow "the rules," they won't...
