Hey!
It’s me, Sean–that guy whose newsletter you just subscribed to.
First of all: great big THANK YOU for subscribing. I’m super stoked, and I promise to deliver you the absolute best and most entertaining SEO content money can buy.
In your inbox you should be receiving a welcome email riiiiight about…..
NOW.
Or in a few minutes. Sometimes ConvertKit is taking a brief siesta.
The most important thing you can do is the stupid “drag this to your main tab/hit reply” bullshit. I know everybody says to do that, but here’s the thing:
I write A LOT about very spammy niches, like CBD or testosterone boosters and say the word SPAM and also curse a lot. Because of that it’s super likely my super clever emails can end up in the spam folder…
I also use a lot of images. Inboxes hate him! So, please actually do the thing.
Here’s a quick introduction to who I am, cuz I know you got better things to do:
I started doing SEO back in 2011 when it was fucking EASY.
I worked for several years at Smash Digital helping them build mega links.
I left Smash to try working at Siege Media but I only lasted like 2 weeks there, lol. Way too corporate.
Luckily, around this time the CBD news/affiliate site I built took off and quickly started doing four figs/day in affiliate revenue. I sold that that site for mid-six figs and built a few more cannabis/CBD sites that I sold for between five and six figures each, respectively.
Since then I been degening around writing an on-again-off-again SEO newsletter (the one you just signed up for) and doing some random things…
I co-founded an SEO domain marketplace that I sold to Odys.global.
I co-founded an SEO community called Advise with Jacky Chou AKA Indexsy that does $300k+ per year and which you should go right now and join.
I dabble in domain investing (am obsessed with domains) and sell some occasionally–my best sale was in 2023 where I sold a portfolio of 13 psychedelic domains for $100k. (PS I have a domain name newsletter you can sign up for here if you want).
Most recently I acquired an agency and am building an SEO brand called Ranks on the DOPE domain Ranks.com — it’s not launched yet but if you’re on my email list you’ll be the first to hear about it.
Okay, that’s enough from me. See you whenever the next Rank Theory newsletter goes out.
To hold you over, here are a few of my best/favorite/most-audience-beloved issues to read through:
