Ep. #95 - Building You Inc.: Thriving as a Creator Employee (w/ Saikat Pyne from You Inc.)

The creator economy has been steadily growing for the past few years and it shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. While 68% of global creators do it part-time, in the long term, more creators are predicted to sign up for content creation to catalyse their careers and build their personal brands — which will in turn help them land better jobs or better freelance projects.

In this episode, I join forces with Saikat Pyne, the host of You Inc. podcast, to bring you a FREE blueprint for content creation on a tight budget. As a non-creator, you might think that starting to produce your own content is a daunting and expensive task, but with Saikat's help, you'll see that it can be done quickly and without breaking the bank.

A few years ago, I published an SEO case study on my blog where I revealed a relatively simple, yet often overlooked, technique to boost search traffic to your old posts.Using the remarkably easy 6-step content upgrade strategy, I was able to significantly increase organic traffic to my blog. The content upgrade strategy is a process of relaunching an old blog post with new and updated information in an effort to boost its search traffic and revive its rankings.

Ep. #78 - Why Online Advertisers Are Ditching Facebook

Last month, Facebook's stock value fell by 26% because of disappointing results in the last quarter. As a result, the company's total valuation dropped by $250 billion. While some contribute the drop in Facebook's revenue to increased competition from TikTok and the uncertain future of Facebook's metaverse, the real reason might be something else. But the fact remains that a lot of online advertisers are ditching Facebook and spending their advertising dollars elsewhere. Tune in to this episode to find out why online advertisers and small businesses are losing faith in Facebook's ability to target their customers.
