2. MARKETING TIP: THE POWER OF CONTRAST

Leverage contrast in your marketing to transcend traditional advertising and create something that is not only a motivational force but also encourages viewers to take action.

3. COMMUNITY MEMBER TIP: SEO MONEY PAGES

Ross Simmonds is an SEO expert who has worked with Moz, Canva, and Mailchimp. Here's his advice on SEO:

I have a philosophy around what I call "SEO money pages." For indie hackers, money pages consist of:

1. Alternative pages: Showcase yourself and others as alternatives to your competitors.
2. Comparison pages: Your product vs. your competitor's product.
3. Migration pages: Targeting people who need to migrate from a big company's product to your product.
4. Feature pages: Highlight in-demand features.
5. Solution pages: Highlight the business outcomes and solutions that your customers are seeking.

These pages tend to be the highest ROI assets on SaaS websites.

Making the most out of money pages

1. Use them for traffic acquisition, but also run re-marketing ads.
2. Create a lead magnet that can be a softer touchpoint on these pages if the reader doesn't book a demo or buy.
3. Include video content, and host it on YouTube with the same page title.
4. Include these pages in the footer of your website.
5. Optimize old blog content to link to these pages when appropriate.
6. Embrace internal linking across this collection of landing pages, and use a pillar asset to link out to each.

Don't overlook backlinks

1. Get backlinks. Links are what Google uses to understand what's going on on the web. Start by finding friends in the industry that you can write blog posts for. In those blog posts, link back to your own content.
2. Aspire to the level of content that Google wants to show. Constantly have an optimization function, updating your page with new graphics, new visuals, new references to data and stats, etc.
3. Optimize your content to demonstrate what Google calls EEAT: Expertise, Experience, Authority, and Trust. You need an author page, linking to your social channels, education, expertise, accolades, companies you've worked with, etc. All of those things demonstrate further trust and authority.

Be shameless. Promote all the time, create all the time, distribute all the time, and amplify all the time. Don't overthink it. If you've got an idea, share it.

4. FUNNEL OF THE WEEK: A VERY COOL DESIGN TO HACK

Look at how they present the information and how clean the page looks.

5. FOOD FOR THOUGHT: 

"Hire people who are better than you are, then leave them to get on with it. Look for people who will aim for the remarkable, who will not settle for the routine."
