Still very impressive to get 2 featured snippets, and then 3 after a little more time. If you're able to do this 50-75% of the time across a site with lots of potential snippets you'll be raking in the traffic and money in no time.

Great advice, great transparency. I think the coolest thing I learned (and that you make clear and what I think many strategists don't make clear) is that SEO involves a lot of testing, retesting and monitoring and that nobody really has 100% knowledge of exactly what works.
Life wisdom from another professional parent - nap/sleep when they nap/sleep. The little sleeps/naps do add up. Great video btw!
Wow! Number One on Google. I thought the video title is clickbait like others. Very Good SEO tip
I'm a big fan of inverted pyramid. Not just for grabbing featured snippets but for ranking generally. The broad content at the end of the article is good background for people who read that far, and helps the page cover all bases. While the narrow content at the top of the page is what most visitors want to read right away and google rewards you for that.
Great information my freind. I will defo try this strat. Sounds like you are a family man, same here. I hope both our projects succedd so we can give a better life to our kids. Take care.
Great video, Joshua, and a huge congrats on the new addition to your family! It's fantastic to see you nailing those top featured snippets β truly a remarkable achievement! Just a thought: In this exciting new chapter, remember the joy and inspiration you bring to your family and your audience. Keep shining and spreading that positive energy.

Thanks for the video Joshua and congrats on the new baby! 2 out of 4 top featured snippets is not bad at all (3 technically)! Life wisdom: Don't neglect self-care now that you have a a new baby. It is natural to want to give your all to your baby and that is great obviously. Just make sure to also take care of yourself physically and emotionally. It will benefit you and also enhance your ability to care for your new baby and family. Don't hesitate to reach out for help when you need it and make sure to prioritize some time for things that make you happy and help you to relax. Also, make sure to eat healthier instead of less healthy for convenience. That's all I got! Hope it helps! Thanks again!

I truly appreciated the practical approach you took, implementing changes and documenting the entire journey. Your delivery was excellent, with a genuine transparency that sets your content apart. Looking forward to more valuable content from you!π
Congrats on Baby Eden, and also for getting 3 out of 4 #1s (within a couple of weeks)! Especially, considering that you made it tougher on yourself by skipping the holy grail. That's what I learned, to identify which pages to prioritize by whittling down the existing listings. Thanks for the in-depth info. I get better at SEO every week by consuming and applying the amazing content provided by the Digital Darts crew. You guys are the real deal, and I find myself telling someone about you folks at least just as often. Way to go!
