Big Cartel vs Etsy: which one is right for your shop? My honest comparison
Lemme be straight with you. Last spring, I spent three hours fixing the look of my store, thinking I was being smart with Big Cartel’s $9.99 plan—except I missed that abandoned cart feature everyone raves about. Rookie move. Meanwhile, my Etsy shop got twice the traffic, but it felt like I was handing Jeff Bezos’ […]
7 clubhouse club description examples and the character limits I discovered
Lemme be straight with you. I wasted two hours hacking away at a Clubhouse club description so it’d fit under 500 characters. It either sounded like a bored AI, or it got chopped mid-sentence. Draft after draft—three total, not my record but close. Only when I stopped pretending “less is more” and started testing actual […]
Website copywriting essentials from my own site redesign
Lemme be straight with you — writing killer website copy nearly burned me out. I’ve spent three hours rewriting five lousy words for a headline, staring at the screen like an idiot. Ended up in the usual trap: chasing “clever” lines that nobody cares about. Reality check? Fancy words don’t get you paid. Clarity does. […]
List building results: 3 small changes that actually worked for me
Lemme be straight with you. I spent a year banging my head on the wall, trying to grow my email list. I tested every shiny opt-in hack you can imagine. You know what finally moved the needle?

Building resource pages for link building: what I learned from 10 actual outreach campaigns
Lemme be straight with you: the first time I tried to build a home improvement resource page, I wasted $49.97 on a tool that basically spammed cold emails to webmasters who hadn’t updated their list since the Obama administration. My pitch? Ignored. The links? Dead. That was March 2022, and I still regret every click. […]
Lucky Orange vs Hotjar: My personal pick after a 30-day side-by-side test
Lemme be straight with you: I burned two hours beating my head against Lucky Orange’s heatmaps, thinking I’d outsmarted a 25% bounce rate on my checkout. Spoiler alert: I hadn’t.

Nordstrom Rack affiliate program: Commission rates and my application experience
Lemme be straight with you. I figured getting into the Nordstrom Rack affiliate program would be a breeze — click Apply, wait a day, slap their links. Nope.

Finding gov backlinks: the 4 search strings that worked for my niche site
Lemme be straight with you: chasing .gov backlinks burned a week of my life and most of my patience.

Boilerplate government sites. Zero […]
Vonage vs Google Voice: A simple comparison after two weeks of testing
Lemme be straight with you. Two days into switching to Vonage from Google Voice, I was already on hold with support for the third time, listening to some 90s hold music and wondering if porting my number was always this miserable or if the universe had it in for me. Cost me an extra $20—and […]
Real differences I found while using Google Yahoo and Bing for work

My path to 1 million YouTube views without a viral stroke of luck
