Recently an SEO expert set out to simplify SEO for Google’s AI Search. A lot of people tend to overcomplicate that sort of thing. 

But in this article, you’ll see why it may be easier than you think and how to do it. Read it here:

Branding Bonanza: A “Scientific” Way To Create A Powerful Brand Fast

I remember the first time I read the book “Scientific Advertising”.

If you don't know, this was one of the first books to talk about the “scientific laws” of making sales through print.

It was written way back in 1923 which is wild. Because almost everything inside is just as applicable today as it was 100 years ago.

Anyway, I bring this up for a reason…

Which is that ever since reading that book, I've also tried to understand the “laws” behind all parts of business. That way I could create easy-to-follow rules so that others could be successful too.

Enter “The Offline Sharks Laws Of Branding Your SmartDirectory Site”.

Which is a free PDF I gave away on this Friday's Jam Session that covers every step of creating a high-selling brand for a SmartDirectory site.

(You can also apply these laws to almost any other site or marketing project you work on.)

Plus, on the replay I explained each of the “Laws” so that you can deeply understand everything.

Once you do, you'll become much more valuable as a marketer.

Which means, you'll make more progress in your agency. And you'll bring more value to your clients.

Tom Gaddis

Attended the School of Hard Knocks. A former restaurant manager in Oklahoma, Tom always wanted to be self-employed and free from the butt-smooching of the corporate world. He wanted success bad enough that he picked up his family, including two small children and moved to beautiful Maui, Hawaii. Starting from zero, Tom embarked on building a local marketing consulting business. And promptly fell on his face! It seems Hawaiians were lovely people, until you tried to sell them something! But he persevered and learned from his mistakes. Today he's arguably one of the most successful in his niche and expecting to grow over 100% this year alone.
