Google's Rich Answers Gives More Traffic Than You Think
E377: Google's rich answers give a dramatic boost in daily organic clicks from search. Many assume rich answers are near worthless for traffic; they're not. This episode gives examples of rich answers, shares how much they decrease clicks, but also demonstrates they are not completely worthless. Having a rich answer still gives substantial traffic, though not as much as ranking #1 on Google without a rich answer. Then the episode shares how to get rich answers with copywriting, and something more creative: how to get rich answers with video. By using video you grow a brand on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube simultaneously while also ranking on Google! The episode also stresses bottom-of-funnel organic search traffic vs. top-of-funnel.

Taking the Longcut vs. Spending Time Looking for Shortcuts
E372: I meet a lot of people obsessed with get-rich-quick schemes and shortcuts. Something, however, I see time and time again is that the most surefire way to achieve one's goals is to take the longcut. This means doing something one enjoys and sticking with it daily (or several times a week) - for years. Nobody is so dumb they won't figure things out given enough time. But when you go from "opportunity" to "opportunity" you have to start anew each time. This episode is my rant on this. I give an example of a friend who built a company streaming music for pets on YouTube. He built it for 10 years with no outside funding and sold it for tens of millions of dollars. I give the example of myself - one year ago I was plateauing and almost gave up. But I believed if I stuck with it, I would figure it out. And I give a cautionary tale of a founder who was too eager to get to goals quickly, raised a bunch of money without doing proper due diligence, and got nothing when the company he worked for years to build was acquired. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Take the longcut.
