Internet is down 😅

This almost didn’t send.

Cloudflare had a global meltdown. Whole parts of the web went dark, including some of the tools and pages I’m about to mention. So if a link breaks, check again in a few hours.

Also… if this is your first email from me:

👋 Welcome. I spoke at CMSEO and a few side events, and a bunch of new faces hopped on here. You’re in.

Quick thanks to everyone who turned up for the Thursday night event I threw.
No sponsors. No pitches. Just a room full of us.
I didn’t make it till 10:30pm, but I heard it got very full, very fast. Worth it.

Tactic Drop:

I dropped these at Charles’ side event, here’s the quick version:

Reddit Hiring:

The best tactics are simple…

Want to dominate Reddit? Hire from Reddit.

Find a VA on the platform, someone who understands it inside out.
Vet them by:

• Karma

• Post history

• If they’ve used multiple accounts (proxy-savvy)

Super easy to verify. Hard to fake. Saves you hours.

Reddit Blackhat (not condoning, just sharing):

Reddit’s wild. And when money’s involved? Ruthless.

Top players build their own subreddits, and to remove the competition they:

• Spam adult backlinks

• Mass comment (usually adult content)

• Then report competitors.

It works, Reddit and Google hate this. And will take them down.

And yes… you can even DMCA a comment above yours to get it removed.

Not condoning. Just saying… it happens.

Redacted Tactic (Coming Next Week):

I was going to drop this today, but... it’s too good to just drop without proper setup.

Next Tuesday, I’ll share a low-effort, high-effect move that’s quietly driving serious traffic in competitive niches, for Reddit.

Totally legal. Barely anyone is doing it right.

Watch for the subject line.

Airport Trouble:

After CMSEO, I headed back to Bali for a quick reset before flying out again, this time for Affiliate World Bangkok.

Chiang Mai to Bangkok? No problem.

But at Bangkok airport, checking in for an international flight…

The agent takes my passport, flips a few pages, pauses.
Looks at me. Flips more pages… again… and again.
Calls over a colleague.

She finally looks up and says:

“Your passport is full. You won’t be allowed to travel.”

😳

Cue internal panic. I’m fully legal, but still, you always feel guilty at airports for no reason.

We had time, thankfully.

Took a full hour of explaining I can use the electronic gates, waiting, more flipping, and eventually. They let me board.

Lost a speaker gift I had packed (some Thai Tha Phae Gate tea bags) because of the shuffle. Tried to offer a CMSEO hoodie too. No luck. She wasn’t into it.

So now I’m weighing whether it’s worth trying again for Affiliate World.

It will either end in being stuck overseas, or worse, denied boarding again.

Anyways, next week:

🧠 My Parasite SEO Master Sheet, finally cleaned up + ready to share.
I’ll send it FREE to everyone on here, if all goes well by Black Friday.

AND share the redacted tactic.

Catch you next week.

Cheers
James
