Issue #223 | December 17th, 2023
Aloha Shark!
And welcome to issue 223 of Shark Bites.
It’s almost Christmas which means the jolly times are here! It also means you’re likely far more busy right now than usual.
Which is ok.
Hopefully you’ve put yourself in a position where having a few busy weeks won’t set you back.
And in case these busy weeks will set you back, here’s a stockingful of Shark Bites to help you bounce right back to it…
- To kick things off, Remote Millionaire, Norm “The Norminator” Thomas closed a juicy $6,500 SEO package—how’s that for spreading holiday cheer. Great job Norm!
- Next, Remote Millionaire, Joanne Westwood, closed a $1,200 website… with Google ads to come. Great work!
- Then there’s Jose Rios-Lazo who used REACH to land 5 free listings. Great work and get ready for some upsells.
- Last but not least, Remote Millionaire, Chris Byrne, identified a very great client who bought 4 Agency Growth Machine listings. Keep them coming Chris.
What a great week! Thanks to everyone who wrote in with a win.
If you’d like to write in your wins and be featured, you can do so inside of the Remote Marketing Agency Owners Private Facebook Group. Remember to use “#win” so we can feature you in next week’s “Catch of the Week”.
Welcome to “Pirate’s Booty” – a curated stash of local marketing news and content for your reading pleasure.
This year Google celebrates its 25th anniversary when it comes to search. Which is kinda crazy it has only been around 25 years.
But this is a good chance to look back at the past 25 years—and especially the top search trends in 2023.
Maybe this will spark some new marketing ideas for you. At the very least, it’s pretty interesting and you can read more about it here:

Next: Looking forward.
Specifically, what do 21 top SEO experts say is going to happen in the future of SEO. There's goodies in this article about AI, “helpful” content, disruption, and more.
Lots of interesting stuff you can read about here:
On this week’s Aloha Friday Local Marketing Jam Session we went live for:
How To Grow An Agency With A Full-Time Job, A Busy Family Life, Or Whatever Else Fills Up Your Schedule
Remember up top in “Catch of the Week” when I talked about Chris Byrne’s new win?
Well he’s been having so many great wins that we invited him onto this week’s Live Show.
What you may not know is that Chris actually works a full-time career while growing his agency.
So the topic we chose was how to grow your agency even with a busy schedule.
After all, if he can work a full-time career and do it… chances are good you can do it no matter how busy your schedule is too.
The replay is up now and you can watch it here:
That’s all for now.
Thanks for playing!
Coming up this week we’ll be offering some killer good deals for The 12 Deals of Christmas.
And of course, Friday will be our Live Show Holiday Extravaganza.
So don’t miss it!
Talk soon…
Mahalo,
Tom Gaddis
