Had a random thought yesterday while watching some Chappelle standup, is there any equivalent that speaks in Mandarin mainly? (For language learning purposes I mean)
What platform can I go look around and watch some awesome standup?
I'm sure I won't be able to understand it all but that might be part of the fun of learning it.
Just for some context, let's call this client's websites Apples, Bees, and Cigars.
Apples is the main money maker by a factor of 10-30x depending on the month. Bees is small to mid range, and cigars is an existing brand on the small side of things that they just purchased but is absolutely barren of any seo content.
Client has me working on Bees for a few months now with some nice upward trending starting, tldr they canned their Apples's seo agency as they found out it was being outsourced (it explains a lot of things - the two sites are an absolute mess), and asked if I can help out with at least the seo part.
Said of course, and i'm looking forward to helping it after another big clean up.
My question is, these 3 sites all operate in the same industry and niche, but just represent different brandnames, and the big boy Apples website is a bit more of a general retailer as they carry a lot of brands products, not just their own.
I've been wondering how I go about building a content strategy without having one site screw over the others. Anyone else encounter something like this?
Like, do I just focus on building everything on the Apple's site in the short term and then rebuild some/all of the same type of content for the smaller sites?
This is ignoring backlinks and ads etc. I just purely mean content for the site.
Appreciate any replies, cheers!
PS. I posted this on a few subreddits, hopefully that's allowed.

I'm at a bit of a crossroads. I've been doing SEO for about 7 years on top of a long career in product and marketing in different tech industries. But with the SEO stuff I mainly charted a course on my own, only took on a couple clients at any given time because I've been working on my own projects simultaneously.
TLDR, I think the time has finally come for me to admit defeat on those personal projects, and put my focus on building up more clients.
I've had decent success rates and most of my clients stayed through to project finish or came back/recommended me to others, which is great. But I'm a bit confused about what direction to head towards.
My main specialties are writing (and sadly now, human curated AI content creation) and the many aspects of SEO (AI has been super useful in helping me learn the technical side of that).
1 of them has even gone from 20 visitors a month to 17,000k right now over the last 6 months.
Point being, Helpful Content Update absolutely decimated my personal projects that were starting to stack up quite nicely. I've tried outwardly expanding on those in one direction or another but the juice just isn't there in me or the algos.
So...what do you solo-agencies actually provide out there?
Nearly all of my previous clients were a form of set project. I'd do the research, say they likely need X number of things done, give a rough budget and timeline and go do the work then come back for more if they wished.
But what are you guys offering as services to do long term or monthly contracts? How do you fill the gaps in your skillsets? Are they customers at different stages or sizes or what? (Mine we're mostly 5-30 employee-sized companies with a pre-existing product and sales)
Long winded answer, apologies for that, if you made it this far, I'd really appreciate any advice.
Currently down to only 1 client and things are getting tight. It's rough out there.
Brand new to Replit. Tried Builder the other day and was disappointed. A friend recommended me this app (albeit for a different use case). I've been at it for a few hours and am finding it a bit clunky and was really hoping for something with more click-and-drag options etc, although it is impressive so far but...yea, very clunky.
TLDR, been vibe-coding full time for 6+ months, built some pretty cool stuff, but my UI's are always ugly. I've tried tonnes of methods I've come across, and there has been some improvements, I just can't help but feel I'm missing something. I have been considering just taking some courses on the subject as I love learning more but I don't have the wherewithal to take a full 3 year diploma in the subject.
Would love to hear your feedback from experienced programmers and designers.
Oh, this current project i'm trying to modify is a web based WPA for one of my websites. Thanks for any feedback, cheers everyone.
