Sound Bites From This Episode

๐ŸŽ™๏ธ [12:34] โ€œWith paid search you don't need to be creating the coolest, greatest graphics and video content of all time. You can still do really effective things without a creative bone in your body.โ€

๐ŸŽ™๏ธ [18:21] โ€œOne of the biggest mistakes people make too, in any type of paid ad scenario, is they drive everybody to Amazon to buy their book. Like, you're spending money to capture traffic, but then you're turning around and driving them right over to Amazon. It doesn't make any sense.โ€ย 

๐ŸŽ™๏ธ [41:04] โ€œJust add value. That's all. If your content is valuable, if somebody finds value in it, whether the value is entertainment, education, whatever, it doesn't matter. If you're adding value, and they feel like it's worth their time to read it, it doesn't matter if it's a sponsored ad or not.โ€
