If clicks are your primary success metric, you're probably undercounting what's working — and over-rewarding what isn't. In the debut episode of Zero Click Marketing, I (Amanda Natividad) make the case that the click-based funnel isn't just outdated, it's actively misleading. And the cost isn't just bad measurement — it's bad decisions.
In this episode:
- Why the click-based funnel made sense for a while — and exactly when it broke
- How Google, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and X all quietly started hoarding traffic
- What "dark social" is, and why it's a bigger deal than most teams realize
- Why AI tools like ChatGPT are the next frontier of zero-click — and what that means for your brand
- The 95/5 rule: why optimizing for conversions means ignoring 80% of your future buyers
- Amanda's own story: how she grew from 1,000 to 100,000+ followers without ever spending a dime
Key insight from this episode:
"When you stop optimizing for the click and start optimizing for genuine value in the platform, you end up with better clicks — more intentional ones from people who actually want to be there."
