I just finished remodeling my website using Claude Code: https://billwidmer.com/ It is entirely vibe coded and SEO-friendly. I moved from WordPress to Astro, fixed a bunch of technical SEO issues, and came up with consistent branding that I'll be using everywhere. I've had a "personal brand" for 13 years. It's got me warm referrals and a fairly cushy life for most of the 2020s. But I never really took it seriously. That changed this year. My entire focus for the next several years is to fully commit to becoming an authority in the space of AI search optimization, building a personal brand, LinkedIn following, and eventually an email list. Part of that was the new site. Part of it was investing in @Sam Rathling's LinkedIn social selling cohort. I'm curious if any of you are hard-committing to your personal brand. Drop a comment with your plans and I'm happy to share what I'm learning and help where I can!

Hi 👋 what you guys do when the brain does not stop working? It seems like a luxury problem with problem solving- but I can’t turn it off. Working with my One prompt = One Website - yeah had huge progress - but I am not there when I am in settings when I am with other - I thinking 3 steps ahead with my project and answere with less focus to people around me. Working with 4 projects at the same time in my brain. I get stressed when I am not able to write my tasks to Claude as I max out with the max plan. Now it’s Sunday at 7:30 - slept long normally I wake up at 5-6 to start as the brain wake up - only 17 hour to I can use Claude again 🥺

I had the pleasure of chatting with @Seth Goldstein, long-time founder and host of the Entrepreneur's Enigma podcast. During the chat, I share: - How I became an entrepreneur over 13 years ago (the progression from college student to founder) - How I'm leveraging AI and automations to grow my business - What happened with Rex and I and what's going on with The Momentum Lab - And much more Check it out and LMK what you think!

Hey, founders! I've been hard at work growing my LinkedIn profile and closing deals with new clients. I just landed a possible $14k deal yesterday. So I figured I'd share how I'm doing it. First, warm network. I have 13 years of experience in SEO, and dozens of past clients. So I reached out to all of them to check in, see if they are looking for help with their SEO, or if they could refer me to someone else who is. The majority of my business has been built on referrals; if you're not reaching out to past clients or asking for connections yet, start there. Second, LinkedIn. It's a VERY powerful tool for finding leads and growing an audience if you're in the B2B space. I followed @Sam Rathling's advice and re-vamped my profile, started connecting with 100+ new people every week, posting 3-4 times per week, and sending cold DMs. Soon, I'll also be writing LinkedIn articles. If you want to be recommended by AI for your work, LinkedIn articles are one of the easiest and fastest ways to do that (LinkedIn is the #1 most cited network for professional queries on most AI platforms right now, and it's growing). Finally, I'm using AI for ALL KINDS of things. Recently, I redesigned my entire website to speak more clearly to my ICP (ideal client profile), and hit EEAT signals (expertise, experience, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness) to be trustworthy to Google and AI. Check it out here. Shout out to @Mark Webster and his amazing AI accelerator for teaching me how to do it. I'm also using AI to create a daily CEO dashboard for my life that tracks all my personal and business goals and reminds me when I have tasks due or haven't moved a project forward in a while. It's amazing to keep me on track. What is everyone else doing right now to win clients and make their lives easier with AI right now? Drop it in the comments!

Hey founders, real talk; Running a business with ADHD has it's challenges. Who knew?! But my ADHD isn't the reason I've gone quiet in here. It's actually because, since Rex and I split, I've needed to refocus my efforts on my main business: SEO for B2B SaaS. I've been doing SEO for nearly 14 years now. I've worked with companies like Monday, Oberlo, AppSumo, Ahrefs and, currently, Semrush. SEO was my second love (writing was my first). My runway for running the experiment of making this Skool community my full-time focus dried up a few months ago, and I've had to refocus on my main income earner. I've absolutely loved building this community - especially the defining moments, like celebrating getting the star and becoming a top 1% community with @Tommy Gan and @Izzy Piyale-Sheard. The past year has given me many moments to be really proud of. And many moments that made me want to rip my hair out. (Typical entrepreneurship!) Anyway, here's what that means for this community going forward: I'll commit to writing one post per week. No more, no less. I'd rather show up consistently with something real than try to run a full curriculum I can't sustain. You'll get my honest observations from the trenches of building a freelance SEO business with ADHD, including what's working, what's blowing up in my face, and what I'm learning about SEO in the age of AI. I'm also committed to being there for the Momentum Lab members. @Jen Ritchie @Alena Sladkovská @Emily Satel @Rachel Hasson @Stijn Van Den Bossche @Amber Kay. We've been meeting twice a week every week since this thing started, and they've done some cool shit. (Shout out to Jen for doing her 5-day challenge launch and hitting her MRR target! And to Emily for starting her private practice, to Rachel for launching her new offer and bringing in some new clients, to Amber for massively increasing her prices and finally bringing in a livable wage from her business.)
