Episode notes
Shrinking SEO Landscape
- SEO is shrinking due to AI-generated answers and zero-click publishing reducing organic traffic clicks.
- Content creators must build unique, firsthand content and strong audience relationships to remain relevant.
Social-First Audience Strategy
- Build your primary home base website but aggressively leverage social platforms (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube) to build audiences.
- Use social to lead followers into your website or email list for deeper engagement and monetization.
Leverage Video-First Content
- Embrace video-first content to build a bigger moat since AI can't easily replicate personal video or on-camera presence.
- Use video platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube to grow audiences faster and build trust.
