Sunday Link Love: Selling Digital Products, Self-Promoting for Introverts + Being Unlikeable

Sunday Link Love is a recurring series of hand-picked digital marketing and entrepreneur lifestyle links from around the web.  The links are very, very rarely affiliate links, but if any are, I'll say so. Along with sharing my recent favorites, it's also a way for me to keep an extra-personal touch to my blog. Social media is great, but my blog is still my home base!

Exploring... This week I'm adventuring in Wildwood Crest and Cape May NJ.

Loving... I've recently split my Instagram account into 2: @danielleadairz for travel and entrepreneur lifestyle + @danielle.zeigler for business tips. Join me!

It's been refreshing so far. I've had an ongoing love/hate relationship with Instagram because I don't want to be limited to only posting photos in a certain color palette. I have so many great travel shots I haven't posted! It's so silly. So I finally gave in and split my accounts.

Has anyone else dealt with this love/hate IG feeling?

I’m an SEO specialist + digital marketing strategist with over 12 years experience in the industry. I’m here to tell you it IS possible to tackle your marketing with authenticity, grace and ease, and still get results.⁠

I work with passionate business owners and marketing directors who are 𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 and spreading their efforts too thin. They want to know what's working, what's not working, and where they should really be spending their time and money.⁠

But I'll be honest- I'm not here for the people chasing vanity metrics. My philosophy is grounded in 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲-𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 and what I've dubbed #SEOwithSoul. I don't believe in hacks and "beating algorithms" as a long term strategy.⁠
