SEO is dead… again
SEO, PPC, copywriting, emails, funnels, all of everything... It's all dead... 🙄 Every few years a new shiny object comes along and digital marketers rush to the gold mines. After the space gets crowded and advertising becomes overpriced, they look for what’s next....
My wife deserves it

The day the roof of my business collapsed
