Q 10 minutes, again, the SEO play, I think he's like a one-man shop or a very small team. Again, bootstrapped. Uh, this is, this is how you build real wealth, right? I mean, full control.

A Yeah, so, um, we, so we launched the actual website around 10 years ago. Um, as I said, it was initially a CV writing service, um, but what, basically, I quickly learned that, um, you know, I think it was a typical thing of that you think you're going to get floods of traffic in when you create a website, and then you realize you're not, nothing comes in. Um, I played around with, um, with paid ads, and, um, then I, I started to learn about SEO, um, and initially I, I bought some, like a, A cheap SEO package from somebody on Fiverr or no, actually on people per hour, which is like an older freelance site. And then when I got the backlinks through, I just realized that they were terrible. Um, and that I had to do it myself basically. So then I, I spent the next two to three years learning SEO, uh, creating helpful content, building the right kind of backlinks. Um, and it was a slow grow. It probably took a good year or so to, um, to really take off.
