// SINCE 2012
Where it all started.
This domain has been mine since the beginning. It started as an affiliate marketing blog, built from a mentor's boat in Newport Beach. The tools I reviewed are gone. But the drive never left.

// THE SHORT VERSION
What is Hopp2it?
Hopp2it is the original domain of Jeff Hopp, a fractional CMO and 20-year marketing operator. It started in 2012 as an affiliate-marketing blog, became his first agency — Hopp2it Digital — in 2013, and today is the origin story and gateway to the QNTx ecosystem: Awesome Digital Marketing, the Awesome.Digital audit platform, and QNTx Labs.
// WHO IS JEFF HOPP
Jeff Hopp is the founder of Awesome Digital Marketing and Awesome.Digital, and the builder of QNTx Labs. He has spent 20+ years building marketing systems. His work spans affiliate SEO in 2012 through AI-search visibility today.

Every system starts somewhere.
In 2012, I was reviewing SEO tools and writing affiliate content. Traffic Travis, Google Sniper, SocialOomph — names that don't exist anymore. I was learning how search worked by writing about it, testing everything I could get my hands on, and publishing what I found.
My first real hit was a post called "Bye Bye Blackberry." It caught a wave — people were making the switch and didn't know what to do. I offered a free guide that actually helped them through it, and used it to build an email list. That was the moment it clicked: content isn't about traffic. It's about trust.
The site evolved. The affiliate reviews gave way to real client work, and for a couple of years hopp2it.com was home to my first agency. Then came Mile High Mobile Marketing, then Awesome Digital Marketing, then the product, then the lab. Each one built on the last.
The affiliate reviews are gone. The tools are dead. But the lessons stuck. It all traces back to this domain.
// THE EVOLUTION
From hustle to system.
Affiliate Blogger
Reviewing SEO tools, chasing ClickBank commissions, writing "Bye Bye Blackberry" from a boat in Newport Beach. Built an email list by actually helping people. Learning by doing.
Hopp2it Digital
The affiliate blog became the agency. This domain was the home — real clients, real campaigns, real results. The hustle became a business.
Mile High Mobile Marketing
Mobile was eating the world. Built a mobile-first agency before most businesses had a responsive site. Learned to go where the market is going, not where it is.
Awesome Digital Marketing
Everything refined into one agency. Systems over guesswork, evidence over hype. Built on the lessons from each earlier business.

What the old pages became.
This domain used to have affiliate reviews and how-to guides. The tools are dead, but the lessons aren't. Here's the updated take.
Google+ Local Is Dead. Local SEO Isn't.
Mar 2026This site used to have guides about Google+ Local pages. The platform is gone, but the principles of local search are more important than ever. Here's what replaced it.
I Used to Review SEO Tools. Here's What Actually Matters Now.
Mar 2026In 2012, I reviewed Traffic Travis on this site. The tool is gone. But the question — what's the best SEO tool? — never went away. Here's what I learned after 12 years of using them all.
