So my other persona wrote a book and I wanted to share it as I know a lot of farmers, crafters and small business owners follow my page, Feel free to go grab the first 3 chapters for free, https://shieldmaidenmktg.com/resources-2/

I wrote a book: SEO for the Brave: Simple Strategies to Rule Search.

Not because the world needed another 400-page love letter to Google’s algorithm.
But because solopreneurs and small businesses are drowning in SEO jargon, outdated advice, and guru gaslighting. And that ticks me off.

I’ve spent years untangling that mess for my clients.
And every time I heard,
"Why didn’t anyone just say it like that?"
I thought, maybe I should.

So I did.

This book isn’t for corporate teams with million-dollar ad budgets.
It’s for the brave ones. The bootstrappers. The side hustlers. The weirdos building something real.

It’s straight-up strategies, field-tested checklists, and no sugarcoating.
And yes, it’s actually kind of fun to read.

Want to preview it before buying?
You can download the first three chapters, plus the worksheets, right here:

And if you know someone who’s fighting to grow their business without selling their soul to the SEO gods, send this their way.

This one’s for the rebels.
