⚡️ Join the Lithium Boom

If you’re seeking an investment with a huge potential, you should be aware of how lithium is going to be the next modern-day Gold Rush.

EnergyX saw this opportunity and created their LiTAS™ direct lithium extraction technology. With it they are able to extract 300% more lithium than traditional methods while being faster and more cost-efficient!

Plus, they’ve already secured deals from top lithium producers, including a $50 million strategic investment led by General Motors, and won a $5M grant from the US Department of Energy.

Now EnergyX is accepting shareholders for a limited time. This is a unique opportunity to invest on the ground floor as the company is set to unlock a massive lithium supply.

💡 Today’s Insight 💡

🗞 TL;DR - Google is turning off Universal Analytics, its legacy web analytics platform, on Monday, July 1. This is the company’s final shift in the transition to Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and has been underway since 2023. But if you haven’t made the switch yet, here’s everything you need to know and do before the deadline.

💡 Insight - On July 1, users will lose access to Universal Analytics data and interface. After July 1, all Universal Analytics data will be permanently deleted. If you don’t export your historical data by then, you’ll lose it all.

You can find your Universal Analytics properties by looking for tracking codes starting with “UA-” though Google has been creating GA4 properties for users since March 2023, so you may find many of yours are already updated.

Here’s what you need to do before July 1:

  • Export all of your Universal Analytics data

  • Set up and configure a Google Analytics 4 property if you haven’t yet

  • Migrate Google Ads links and create new conversions based on GA4 events
