Nicole Reacts: If you’re in tech, you’ve probably run into Neil Patel’s face at some point. Hell, I’ve even linked to some of his tutorials in the content on my blog because, let’s face it, who has time to rewrite a 2000-word how-to with screenshots if someone else has already done the thing?

I completely forgot about reacting to him until, upon visiting https://answerthepublic.com/, I saw his face (his company recently acquired the website), and he got back on my radar.

After seeing this video, I will be much more hesitant to link to Neil Patel’s shorter-form content. Though I will agree that https://google.com/trends is a useful tool.

(Related to nothing, I normally rough edit in Descript and then move it to another editing software for the final copy, but after my normal final editing software crashed on me 6 times, I just did a Descript edit. I’m traveling for work again, so I will take time to learn new things when I return. Thanks for understanding!)
