hello. email newsletter intros are weird, like hi, i know you opened this email to receive the promise that the subject line made, but first you have to read these few paragraphs because the social contracts we decided on as a society value a little bit of small talk before we jump into a thing, whether it's a job interview, a sales call, or other social situation I cannot think of, because I don't like them, and actively avoid them to the point where my brain can't even conceive of a...

did you know that quote "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication--" commonly attributed to Da Vinci (and slightly less commonly Steve Jobs) was just casually attributed to Da Vinci by some random-ass blog in the early 2000s and people were just like... yeah all right, I can get on board with that, it's canon. so just FYI, this is a PSA so you don't put that on your sales page or in your email signature with a Da Vinci attribution and look like a total ass. 🍑 hello again! did you miss me?...

hey it's me, your favorite SEO newsletter writer. I'm back again with THE GOODS, an email chock-full (not chopped-full) of interesting SEO insights and observations from someone who doesn't feel like DOING the SEO, but someone who very much feels like yelling about it. you know what they say: those who can, do. those who cannot, rant about it each week in an increasingly unhinged email newsletter. well, here we are. Another week of anxiety all the time, trying to launch a new thing (that I...
