Hey Reader ,

In the last 12-24 months, many have declared the death of SEO, but is this true? I don't think so, but I do believe our traditional content marketing approach is.

Why? Because Google is no longer the primary or largest source of information consumption on the web.

Instead:

  • Social media is where your audience spends a significant portion of their time online.
  • Social media platforms are becoming the go-to place for discovering new products, services, and content.
  • And about 60% of Google searches end without a click.

Which means it’s no longer just about creating quality content on your website. You need to find your audience and engage with them in the spaces where they already spend their time. Join in their conversations, share your knowledge, and create connections.

And cast a broader but more focused net.

Here's how I see the heart of modern content marketing:

Your website is your home base. It builds credibility, boosts conversions, and showcases your expertise

Secondary platforms – think LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and even industry-specific forums – are fantastic for connecting, generating leads, and building your network.

In-person connections, yep, still incredibly valuable.

And, finally, collaborating with other solopreneurs or thought leaders in your niche can expose your work to a wider audience and boost your authority and credibility.

A website is just one piece of the puzzle. To truly connect with your audience and grow your business, you need to engage with them wherever they are – both online and offline.

Hope you're enjoying summer and are able to find some down time / relaxation time. I've always found, no matter how hard it is for me to disconnect, that little breaks breath life into my life and business.

So take advantage of the slow summer months to disconnect and recharge.

Thanks for reading. Until next month.

Hello Reader, It's okay to break. I did recently. In a doctor's office, in front of my mother, a doctor, and a nurse, I came completely undone. Years of caretaking, loss, and the weight of the world just cracked me wide open. And like Humpty Dumpty, I knew that all the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put me back together again. At least, not the way I was before. For a while, I had no energy or vision for work or even life. I wondered if it was time to just quit, retire, and...
