The absolute worst thing about vacation is leaving my dog behind.. I know she’s going to be treated very well but I’ll miss her SO much. Since I’m working from home we’re literally together 24/7. Haven’t left her for more than 1 night for over 5 years…

A few weeks ago, my mom accidentally trapped my foot between the couch and the pain is getting worse… Yesterday, I stubbed my toe on the other foot. I seriously think I have a broken toe on my left foot and a broken metatarsal bone on my right foot 💀😂 whyyyy

Today was my first day back to work - slow and steady though, just a few hours of work - and it’s good to be back!

I’m a book girly for sure but I have to admit that I’m starting to love my ereader more and more. 👀 Am I going to turn into a digital book girly anytime soon? Who knows lol

I have not enough backlink knowledge to decide whether this is smart or harmful for your authority? (This is not an attack, I respect everyone’s hustle. I’m genuinely wondering)

While I was working on something for one of my sites, I suddenly had an interesting research idea 💡 Can’t share too much but I do think it’s going to make some people mad 😂 but it’s a good link building opportunity + it doesn’t require extra effort on my side so win-win?

After probably everyone already has it, I now have the Google AI overview too. While it is helpful for general users, it’s basically the end for site owners. Why would any user bother to click on the source and go to the website when the answer is right in front of them?

Two and a half years ago, Google wiped out my website overnight. I went from earning a comfortable six figures to barely getting by. At the time (September 2022), lots of bloggers and devs assured me I’d done something wrong. That somehow my content — which had been earning

I recently realized that, with the AI overviews almost taking away my last Google clicks, that pivoting makes me kinda sad. I haven’t found anything that I like as much as writing posts.. so I either need to do work that I don’t like or go back to a 9-5 that I don’t like 🥲

I did a valuation on Flippa for my first site and for the first time ever, 10% of me is considering selling 🥲 While I can’t imagine ever selling this site, I seriously need to start thinking about it. It would feel weird to literally sell my opinions (reviews) though 🤔

Are there any good Facebook tools? Besides the one of NSL?

Interesting! 👀 while newsletters are pretty much hyped by everyone, one of the biggest self-help gurus (Tam Kaur) is actually closing hers down. Does this mean newsletters are getting less popular?

Pinterest’s algorithm changed over the last few weeks. Almost as if they’re making it harder to get outbound clicks… maybe it has something to do with the AI overflow on the platform?

Ha, my HCU hit site is spiking (still, it’s less than 200 clicks p/d). Yet my sites created around/after HCU (so they weren’t hit) are completely falling off a cliff right now. I’m so over Google and their updates ✌🏻

Is reposting IG content (feed posts or carousels) a proper FB strategy - on top of FB specific content?

After this, I decided to take a break for the rest of July. Focused on my (mental) health, read a lot of fantasy books and just relaxed. It’s now time to really decide how I’m going to pivot, if or how I’m continuing with my sites, etc.

As a beauty content creator, I hate to see this. We’re slowly moving towards a time where influencers are AI/fake, content is fake, reviews are fake. Even more online jobs down the drain. Not a personal attack towards Mike btw, just using this as an example.
