E118: Exactly how to build a TikTok presence for an agency. This is not a personal brand. It's a brand specifically for an agency.

E104: If your product doesn't yet have total product-market fit, you can still write copy so good that you go viral, get backlinks, and use that to find the market through SEO. The CD Baby thank you email is an example of copy this good. It's all about leverage. This one nails it.
