BUSINESS MINDSET???

1) Let Fear Be Your Progress in Searching for a Better Self

Recently, I rediscovered a YouTube video I made two years ago about "The Rules of Wealth" by Richard Templar, a book that has had an incredible impact on my financial journey.

The book was like stumbling upon a treasure map that leads to a lifetime of financial success.

But I need to admit something.

The book is excellent, but the quality of the video and the way I conveyed the content were imperfect.

Why?

Because up until today when I'm on camera...

• I feel exposed and vulnerable.?I feel like everyone is watching me and judging me, and I'm afraid of making a mistake.
• I'm worried about how I look on camera.?I'm afraid that I'll look awkward or unattractive, and I don't want to be seen that way.
• I'm afraid of forgetting what to say.?I'm worried that I'll freeze up and not be able to think of anything to say, and I'll look like an idiot.
• I'm afraid of being judged.?I'm worried that people will think I'm not good enough, and I'll be humiliated.
• I'm afraid of failure.?I'm worried that I'll mess up and make a fool of myself, and I'll never be able to do it again.

If you'd like, here's the video:?

Outside my fear of being on camera, this book has been my guiding light with practical wisdom and strategies. Here are some of the best rules that I keep in mind in all time:

1. Rule 89: "Don't Spend it before you've got it."?Live within your means and avoid unnecessary debt.
2. Rule 79: "Make your money work for you."?Invest wisely, diversify, and seek expert advice.
3. Rule 17: "Know how the wealthy think."?Embrace an entrepreneurial or intrapreneurial mindset, take calculated risks, and seize opportunities.

Please, read the book because it is a treasure map!

4) ?? IMPORTANT: Kyle Roof on E-E-A-T For Niche Sites

Do you run niche affiliate websites or any business-related websites?

If yes, you NEED to listen to Kyle Roof 's insights on E-E-A-T ?? video link below ??

Key HIGH-LEVEL takeaways:

• ?? E-E-A-T has grown in importance, particularly for YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) sites dealing with finance and health topics, but it is becoming relevant for other site categories as well.
• ?? E-E-A-T factors are crucial for site owners to address in order to maintain rankings and mitigate the risk of penalties. It is recommended to treat your site like a legitimate business and establish trust signals such as clear ownership information, contact details, and jurisdiction association.
• ?? Backlinks are an important aspect of E-E-A-T, especially links that provide information about the site's ownership, responsibility for content, and relevance to the niche. Quality backlinks, including citations, are beneficial.
• ?? Demonstrating experience and expertise can be challenging, but encouraging user-generated content (UGC) such as comments and questions can help establish credibility and expertise signals.
• ?? Building topical authority is essential by covering all relevant topics and questions related to the site's niche. Topical clustering and comprehensive content can contribute to authoritativeness.
• ?? It's generally recommended to focus on filling out one category or closely related categories before expanding to other areas within a niche. Sites that cover specific categories extensively tend to perform better than those with scattered coverage.

Key ACTION-DRIVEN takeaways:

• ?? You should go after difficult keywords and optimize your pages for them, even if you may not rank for them. Proper subheading setup and site structure can help you win secondary keywords and drive relevant traffic.
• ??? Adding an HTML sitemap to your website can help Google discover and index all the pages on your site, ensuring better topical coverage.
• ?? Building trustworthiness is crucial for E-E-A-T. Include an address, local phone number, and multiple points of contact on your site to show that you're a real business. Author bio pages and team pages also contribute to building trust.
• ??? Schema markup, such as organization schema and author schema, can enhance E-E-A-T signals and make it easier for bots to understand your site's information.
• ?? Experimentation and adaptation are key in the ever-changing field of SEO. The rise of AI presents opportunities for those who can adapt and adjust their strategies accordingly.
• ? Implementing E-EA-T signals should be done as soon as possible, as it can have a positive impact on your site's performance. Focus on ticking off relevant E-E-A-T boxes and making improvements that are low-hanging fruit.

5) 5 NOT So Well-known/surprising Facts about Tangential SEO to Boost Your Sales

I've been exploring last week deeper tangential SEO to add some content to one of my websites. And I want to share with you 5 facts that might help you and me generate more search traffic and sales with tangential SEO.

1. ?? Tangential SEO goes beyond traditional keyword targeting: Unlike traditional SEO that focuses on optimizing content for specific keywords directly related to your business, tangential SEO explores topics and keywords that are indirectly related but still relevant to your target audience. It broadens the scope of your content strategy and allows you to reach a wider audience.
2. ?? Tangential SEO enhances brand visibility and authority: By creating content on tangentially related topics, you can establish your brand as an authority in a broader field. This helps build credibility and trust among your audience, leading to increased brand visibility and recognition.
3. ?? Tangential SEO attracts diverse audiences: One of the main benefits of tangential SEO is the ability to engage with audiences who may not be actively searching for your products or services. By offering content that resonates with their interests, hobbies, or challenges, you can attract a diverse range of visitors to your website.
4. ?? Tangential SEO can generate valuable backlinks: Tangential content often has a higher potential for being shared and linked to from various domains. When you provide unique and valuable insights on tangentially related topics, it increases the chances of other websites referencing and linking back to your content, boosting your site's authority and SEO performance.
5. ?? Tangential SEO uncovers new opportunities and insights: By exploring tangential topics, you can gain valuable insights into your target audience's unmet needs, interests, and pain points. This research can not only help you create engaging content but also guide the development of new products or services that cater to those specific needs.

One thing must be remembered:

Tangential SEO is a valuable strategy, but it's important to strike a balance between tangential content and content directly related to your business to maintain relevance and ensure your audience finds value in your offerings.

Now is time to work on this strategy ??????

6) Elon Musk's xAI Sparks a Rally in Crypto AI Tokens

Elon Musk is no stranger to the spotlight, and his latest venture, xAI, an artificial intelligence (AI) startup, is no exception.

But his venture into AI raises skepticism.

Despite his intellectual virtue and engineering skills, his $40 billion investment in Twitter shows a lack of financial understanding.

xAI aims to "understand the future of the universe," an ambitious goal for someone struggling to run an app.

It's intriguing that xAI's debut follows Elon's call for a pause in AI development to avoid "civilization destruction."

Is this a contradiction or a smokescreen?

We may never know.

Nonetheless, Musk's influence is evident as AI-related cryptocurrencies like SingularityNET and Fetch.ai saw a surge in value.

While competition is beneficial, it's hard to overlook Musk's track record of bankrupting companies.

Can xAI make a lasting impact?

Only time will tell...

Remember:

If you have been dollar cost averaging into the market, you should be in a good position. Be careful not to get too excited about the recent rally. Stay calm and rational.
