SEM: Daily SEO Inspiration

Become a better SEO in one daily five-minute email.

Hi. Hello there.

Welcome to my (new) newsletter.

You may know me from my weekly-ish SEO newsletter Rank Theory—which used to be hosted right here on this substack account.

That newsletter has a new home and I’ve been wondering to do with this account. I decided to do an experiment… I’ve always wanted to do a daily newsletter, but just kept not committing. Also, I didn’t want to use my Rank Theory digital space to try it, so:

Here we are!

I’m going to try and send a small, daily email every business day this April 2023, starting April 10th. That’s three solid weeks of M-F daily emails. If it goes well, if people seem to like…

If *I* like it: I’ll keep doing it. If it sucks the life and soul out of me and sends me into an existential tailspin… then I’m out. But I’m gonna give it a solid go this April.

What to Expect in Each Newsletter.

A summary of one article, or;

Coverage of one news event, or;

One amazing SEO thing I see in the wild, or;

Who know. One interesting thing per day—something you can interact with and digest in like five minutes. We’re gonna compound interest that knowledge.

Quick Intro to Who TF I Am If You Don’t Know:

I have sold a little under $1million in affiliate sites since 2019.

I led SEO efforts at Smash Digital for a little while.

I worked at Siege Media for like two-and-a-half-weeks.

I write a weekly SEO email called Rank Theory (already mentioned that).

I write a weekly(ish) column at DomainNameWire.com.

I’ve written for Odys.global, DSAD.com, and many failed or successful niche sites that I’ve sold or abandoned.

I’ve been on the Niche Pursuits, Empire Flippers, and Tropical MBA podcasts.

I’m generally known as an aged domain expert in the SEO industry.

People Like My Newsletters: Really.

Here’s a sample:

“Sean is one of the few people I keep in touch with privately about all things SEO. There aren’t as many people obsessed about staying on top of what’s working as him.”

Glen Allsopp, Detailed.com

“Sean’s SEO newsletter [Rank Theory] is one of the best in the game. Super timely and highly-curated, I look forward to it every week. My team and I read through his ideas and insights the minute we receive his weekly email. If you’re not on this list, you’re a big dumb dummy.”

Tommy Griffith, ClickMinded.com

“There are only a small handful of newsletters that I ALWAYS read, and Sean’s Rank Theory is definitely one of them.”

Travis Jamison, Smash.vc
