1 year ago, I escaped the rat race.

I work from anywhere I want.
Work on whatever I want.
With whoever I want.

No one's chasing money. They are chasing freedom.

Here's how I did it:

- found my why
- learned a high value skill
- documented on social media
- created a scalable offer
- long time horizon

1. Found my why

I figured out what freedom means to meβ€”
- having flexibility
- being creative, and
- making an impact.

That became my focus.

2. Learned a high-value skill

I got really good at SEO and organic marketing.

This helped startups grow without spending tons on ads.

3. Created offers that scale
I made a course and consultancy service that gave people simple, actionable steps to get real results.

4. Documented my journey on social media.

I shared helpful content on YouTube.
Because why not?
It's free.

I built trust and attracted clients who wanted to grow.

5. Had a longer time horizon than most

I am NOT even close to the end now.
I have a 30-year plan.

You don’t need to work 80 hours a week to find freedom.
You just need a plan.

Don't know what the "rat race" is? I recommend YouTubing it.

That's what I did 1 year ago.
It SCARED me to success.

My trip to Asia taught me a big lesson about getting more leads for local businesses. That lesson was...

Local businesses need to ask for more Google reviews.

How did I learn this lesson by going to Asia, you ask?

In Asia, especially in tourist spots like Bali,

I would go out to eat at a restaurant.

And before I even realized it, the restaurant told me to leave a Google review 7 different times.

There's a plaque displayed on my table that says "Leave us a Google review" with a QR code.

The waitress says, "You can get a 15% discount on your next visit if you leave a Google review."

On the menu, it says, "Like our food? Leave us a review on Google!"

And on and on.

You get the point.

I left Asia without ever having left more Google reviews in my LIFE.

It was GENIUS marketing.

The local business culture in Asia had such a strong emphasis on Google reviews.

And rightfully so.

Because.

More reviews = more customers.

Why?

Because people trust people.

It's human nature.

People don't trust companies unless other people trust them too.

Let's take a plumbing company in Sarasota, FL, for example.

Bill Plumbing has 31 reviews and 4.7 stars on Google.

Dill Plumbing has 237 reviews and 4.5 stars on Google.

You will likely go with Dill. I know I would.

Even though Dill Plumbing has a lower rating, I'd still go with him because it seems more people TRUST Dill.

So, are you getting enough Google reviews?

I bet you can get more.

Put a marketing system in place that gets these reviews.

And make it so easy for your customers to write a review that it would be almost lazy for them not to.

P.S. Customer reviews are one thing NO ONE can take away from you. Not your competitors. Not even AI.

93% of Shopify stores get ZERO organic traffic. That's a lot of missed sales. 😭

That's right.

93%.

So it's honestly not hard to outbeat the competition in the e-commerce space.

Here's how:
Stores with good SEO get 10x more SALES.

SEO gets your Shopify store to rank higher on Google for a word your next customer is searching for.

Imagine 10x your current revenue.
Just from organic traffic (not spending any money on paid ads)...

Picture this:
You're a sustainable water bottle eCommerce store.
Your next customer opens Google on their laptop with their credit card on their desk.
They search "water bottles that help the environment".
Your website ranks No. 1 on the 1st page of Google for that.
Your next customer clicks your site.
Your next customer buys your product.

It's as simple as that.

But still, the implementation is what owners struggle with.

I had a client facing the same challenge.
Had to do the work anyway.
So I recorded it.

Why?

Because I know other Shopify store owners are fighting this battle too.

Here's the amazing thing:
I sped up the whole process with AI.

No, AI can't replace everything.
But with the right prompts and a solid tutorial from an SEO growth expert like myself?

You'll be able to get some results.

Want to steal my entire process?
It's all in my new YouTube video: "AI SEO for Your Shopify Store"

-- Get the SEO basics down.
-- Use AI to not waste all your time.
-- You'll see an increase in rankings aka leading to more money in your pocket.

I GUARANTEE it.

Step 1. Watch now.
Step 2. Implement today.
Step 3. Outrank tomorrow.

Want to be in the top 7%?
Then watch it.

Don't be a statistic. Be a success story.
Your Shopify store will thank you.

If people don't know about your stuff, how do you expect them to buy from you?

That's where better marketing and ranking high on Google (SEO) comes in.

Did you know that 92% of SaaS startups fail within 3 years? Shocking, right?

But most of these failures aren't due to bad products.
It's #poormarketing that kills them.

Here are the steps that will separate you from the 8% who thrive from the 92% who dive.

Welcome to #SaaSMarketing 101...

1-- Nail Your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP)

* Use tools like Clearbit or FullContact to enrich your customer data

* Analyze your top 20% of customers: What industries are they in? Company size? Job titles?

* Create detailed buyer personas including demographics, psychographics, + behavior patterns

2-- Value Proposition Crafting

What makes you different? If you can't explain it in 10 seconds, go back to the drawing board.

3-- Content Marketing on Steroids

*Use Ahrefs to identify high-volume, low-competition keywords

*Create a content calendar with 70% educational, 20% inspirational, + 10% promotional content

*Repurpose content across multiple formats: blog posts into infographics, videos into podcasts, etc.

4-- #SEO that Actually Works

Already have a website?
Conduct a technical SEO audit using Screaming Frog

Then,
implement schema markup for rich snippets in search results

Next,
build quality backlinks through guest posting, broken link building, + digital PR

5-- Email Marketing That Doesn't Suck

* Segment your list (one-size-fits-all is so last decade)
* Personalize your messages (I don't just mean using their first name)
* Provide value in every. single. email.

6-- Social Media that Converts

* Focus on LinkedIn for B2B SaaS
* Use Twitter for real-time customer support + industry conversations
* Leverage employee advocacy:
encourage team members to share company content

7-- Paid Advertising Strategies

Start with...
a daily budget of $50-100 for Google Ads or LinkedIn Ads

Second,
target long-tail keywords with commercial intent for higher conversion rates

Third,
set up conversion tracking and aim for a CPA (Cost Per Acquisition) below 1/3 of your Customer Lifetime Value

8-- Analytics and Optimization

* Set up Google Analytics 4 + Google Tag Manager for comprehensive tracking
* Monitor key SaaS metrics: MRR, Churn Rate, CAC, LTV, and ARPU
* Use tools like Hotjar or Fullstory for user behavior analysis

9-- Customer Success = #Marketing Success

* implement an NPS (Net Promoter Score) system
--> Aim for a score above 50

* create a referral program offering incentives for both referrer and referee

* develop case studies highlighting quantifiable results:

"Company X increased productivity by 45% using our software"

10-- Find Partners + Intergrations

* Identify potential partners using tools like BuiltWith or SimilarTech
* Develop co-marketing campaigns: webinars, ebooks, or joint product offerings
* List your product on software marketplaces like G2, Capterra, or GetApp

43 new client leads were generated from my new YouTube channel in the last 90 days.

2 have booked a call with me directly.
41 subscribed to my newsletter.

What success do you need to have on YouTube to start generating leads?

I'll tell you now it's NOT a lot.

* My total videos = 19 (some document my SEO agency journey and some teach businesses how to do SEO).
* My total subscribers as of today = 143.
* Total views = 2,500+

What works is providing value.
