2025 Content Challenge Week 9:
✅✅✅✅✅✅✅
It’s crazy how it feels when I am in the flow.
I think I just hit my fifth longest streak ever (if not, it will definitely be there a week from now).
And it was EASY.
Obviously, I’ve been here before—several times—where it feels like there is nothing that could stop my streak.
Then, I remember:
My two longest streaks broke due to publishing mistakes, not a lack of production.
So I must be vigilant.
👀👀👀
As I write this, I realize something else.
I already started working on the perfect solution…
What Got Done?
This week was all about the Playing Markets footprint.
Of course, I published another Chart Pattern and wrote another one for tomorrow.
But my main focus was on Footprint Sculpting. I got some things done. Optimized a few profiles. Created a few others. However, I put in about ten hours just exploring platforms, taking notes, and creating action items. I’ve got another week or two of that. Then, I’m going to start mirroring my topic silos EVERYWHERE.
I do plan on getting started on that this week though, since I need to actually do the work to create a good SOP anyway.
The routine I have in my head sounds fun, challenging, and extremely effective.
While the fact that my rankings haven’t came back yet is demoralizing, I’m confident they will at least start to by the end of March.
If not, I might start taking some drastic measures.
In fact, I’m tempted to go ahead and start with the spicier tactics. The only thing is, Social Media Marketing has both SEO and non-SEO benefits. It’s not only about Backlinks. I might be able to grow a legitimate audience on some of these platforms and many of them have their own monetization programs.
So for now, the plan remains to go ham on branded profiles for at least the next month then re-evaluate in April.
I have a feeling though, the rankings breakthrough will come before then.
Last Week Was the Week That…
Zelensky “overplayed his hand.”
🚨 Trump just SLAMMED Zelensky as he boarded Marine One heading to Mar-a-Lago
“He overplayed his hand. We want PEACE. We don’t want to play [Zelensky’s] games.
He’s looking for something I’m not looking for. I don’t want a 10 year war! I want PEACE!
This is man who wants to… pic.twitter.com/1JZtj8xh9b

Not sure how to feel about that but I can’t say I’m mad about it.
🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Anyway, my teams won this week. Carolina beat up on Florida State and Miami. Chelsea spanked Southampton despite Cole Palmer’s worst game in a Chelsea shirt.
All in all, a pretty darn good week.
👍👍👍

Content Streak
After last week:
My daily content streak now is up to 63 days (begun Week 1), which includes my entire 2025 Content Challenge so far.
My longest streak ever was last year, during my 2024 Content Challenge. It lasted 262 days, spanning from from Week 10 to Week 48. In 2023, my longest streak was 62 days, from Week 8 to Week 16. My longest streak during my 2022 Content Challenge reached 217 days, ending in Week 24. My best during 2021’s Content Challenge was 67 days, from Week 14 to Week 23. And my best in 2020 was 157 days in a row, which ended in Week 21.
The march toward a full 365 continues. 📈
