If this is your first time coming across LPNV Insights, here is a quick intro. I run a small digital marketing agency that doubles as a micro portfolio company. Meaning, I try to partner with clients that have great businesses or introduce another revenue stream to share. This newsletter is a weekly update, which I consider building in public. I share as much as I can in hopes that you'll find something helpful or interesting that relates to your journey.
Update on Generately.ai - We received the approval from OpenAI. We're working with UI/UX designer to redesign the landing page. Stripe's connected, and we've had about six early users try it this week. We'll start an aggressive cold call campaign next week with a list of SEO agencies with 3-10 employees around the US. The screenshot below is a portion of the new landing page. To try it, Click Here
Client Updates: We implemented a successful performance upgrade to one of our client’s sites, and they’re pleased with it. We took it from an F on seoptimer and GTmetrix to a B-. We’ll start working on SEO and AdWords campaigns over the weekend for them.
Next, we’re going to start working on mockups next week for the high-protein energy bar that I mentioned two weeks ago. I’m excited about these.
I’m still getting used to providing public updates without disclosing anything that my clients wouldn’t approve of, so bear with me. Some of these are going to be very vague and boring.
We launched Whisper Soft’s amazon listings on Monday - Amazon - Whisper Soft
Quick Intro: Whisper Soft Systems has invented a 21st-century air vent that produces more uniform temperatures floor to ceiling and wall to wall. Its unique design resembles recessed lighting enabling it to blend into almost any room.

Work update: This week, I had to get a new laptop and decided to switch from my Alienware to the new MacBook pro. After a few days with it, I’m leaning towards returning it and going with the new Alienware.
Random Business Idea: I've been looking into sit-stand desks recently, and the obvious/common complaint is price. Which got me thinking: What's a possible alternative that's less expensive produce, provides the same functionality, and is easier to ship.
Adjustable Desk leg attachments. Most desks have a base that consists of two legs that sit on the floor. If you could design a rectangular extension housing an automatic hydraulic lift system and sit the desk's legs in it, then you'd have a standup desk. Assuming it'd provide the same support and stability as the desk's original legs, you could package and sell these for 1/2 the price of the adjustable desks on the market.
I don't think I'll do anything with this other than play around with a prototype, but I think it'd be an excellent solution and address a vast market.
This is the closest version I've found, which is still $200:
That’s it for this week. Next week’s newsletter will be more exciting.
