Working on an article about all the best places to submit your Black Friday Software and SaaS deals. Do you have a blog where you're sharing Black Friday and Cyber Monday Deals?

Reply, and I will add your link to my blog post!

A ton of large companies do this. In our research for the photo/video guide we found that these brands had dedicated deals pages year-round:

- Amazon
- Canon
- Nikon
- B&H
- Adorama
- Best Buy

They post updates during key sales periods (Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Christmas)
Ways to improve your chances of getting linked to:

- Make a dedicated 'Deals' page on your ecommerce store or marketplace
- Update different categories with deals frequently or seasonally
- Share content on social media about your deals and sales
- Share blog posts about it

One of the easiest ways to get a ton of free high quality (and typically do-follow) backlinks is to run a solid deal every year on Black Friday / Cyber Monday.

What is the best platform for distributing podcasts?

Something like distrokid but just for podcasts.

We want to distribute all of the Timestamp Art Interviews through podcast channels too. Some with video, and some with just audio if that’s all the platform supports.

Being a better leader requires examining yourself, constantly.

Holding yourself accountable in a vast number of ways.

Learning how to properly address problems and de-escalate situations (internally, externally, etc.) is not easy at all.

Grateful for how far I’ve come since really starting my career journey.

Patience and respect goes a long way.

Bots keep hammering our sites, so I asked ChatGPT to help me make a rule to block them, which should help preserve our resources.

Does this look solid? Anything we should not be blocking?

"What's the best side hustle online?"

There's no best side hustle for everyone. The best side hustle is the one that actually pays you for your efforts.

Ignore all the snake oil salesmen in the comments.

Focus on your skills and what you can offer.

Where should I go to do that?

The Ramp campaign with Brian from The Office was incredible, but I think they're missing out on additional crucial traffic/conversions by not optimizing the YouTube!

Here's how I would take it a step further to capture more of that value from the campaign:
