Hey! I was on Threads (Meta's version of Twitter) recently and saw a gal share a screenshot of her blog earnings. She banked a solid $20,580 in one month. And that was only her income from display ads on her blog. That doesn't include her affiliate income. SO many people were shocked by this. And for good reason! Most people don’t realize how lucrative blogging can be. Some even think it’s a scam (which is fine by me; less competition for us, right? 😂). But you’re here reading this newsletter...

But can you just give me one simple tip... something easy that will actually help me grow?" And that's when I told him about internal linking. Quick pause to...

I have to say it... I'm a failure. While everyone else had their Black Friday offers and emails ready weeks (or even months) ago, I’ve been dragging my feet. Here’s the thing: I really don’t like Black Friday. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE a good deal (I just snagged some amazing blogging tools for half the price, and I’m thrilled!) But when it comes to offering something to you, I believe in creating deals that truly feel right; not just throwing together discounts or BOGOs because it’s “what...
