I haven't had a lot of time to write many newsletters recently because I've been preparing my site to run ads from a premium ad network. It's a *huge* step for BeProductiveEveryDay, and certainly reading "Your Site is Eligible" has taken a lot of anxiety weight off my shoulders. Now I feel considerably calmer. I'm still busy with final settings and updates, but I had to take a break to write a weird tangent about ADHD hyperfocuses and... backlinks. --- See, I always thought this was just a me...

Last week, after I mentioned receiving 40,000+ AI citations across different AI platforms in the last 3 months (with several individual posts receiving 1,000-7,000 citations per month), a few subscribers emailed me with essentially the same question: "Okay, but is that traffic actually any good?" It's a fair question. Especially right now, when every other headline seems to predict the end of organic traffic. Google is investing heavily in AI search, AI Mode, and AI Overviews. Website owners,...

I thought an Adobe impersonator wanted to scam me… A few months ago, I received an email from Adobe. Yeah, Adobe. My first reaction? “Oh nice, someone’s trying to scam me. How did that escape my spam filters and arrived in my inbox??” Then I looked at the sender’s email address, *just in case*. Then I looked again. “Weird, it’s Adobe domain email…” Then I opened a new tab and started researching, just in case… I was convinced someone was impersonating Adobe, yeah. Eventually, after far too...

Alright fellas, hear me out. I don’t know who needs to hear this, but cold emailing creators for free guest posts without reading a single word of their sites is not a business strategy. It’s a cry for help. As a full-time blogger in a B2B-oriented niche, my daily life already looks like this: content planning writing editing updating old posts client projects managing affiliate dashboards replying to actual business emails from partners, brands, and humans with names filtering legitimate...

I could say I love being a writer (which is true, btw), but writing is so natural to me it feels like breathing. It’s this neutral-but-beautiful thing that’s just… tied to me being alive. (Side note: had to stop typing because my cats started boxing each other. Maybe exposing all my martial arts training to them has been a mistake on my side...) At the same time? I feel like I hate being a writer. Wait, let me explain. I write for my three websites. I write for this public newsletter feed. I...

Salut! It’s Andréane here officially reporting back during my favorite time of the year! 🕸️🖤 And yes, I’m finally back (from the dead?). Considering the pain I went through before my recent surgery, I think that comparison is... eerily accurate. 😅 It took me nearly two extra months to get back on track, but hey, life had plans, I guess. Between moving to another country for a while in my digital nomad journey, having to remove yet another wisdom tooth (who even gets a new one as an...

Editor's note: Hey, it's Andréane from the future, in June 2026, to tell you that my former newsletter course about affiliate marketing was updated to the full, 80+ page-long ebook, "How Creators Earn Affiliate Income in 2026." You can download it today! Hey, it's Andie here!I've been busy recently changing everything here. Google's algorithm has changed quite a lot recently, and so has SEO. Well, that was expected, with this AI revolution that's happening now (and here to stay, I'm afraid)....
