Hey there! This week, we’ve got a bonus for you.
Rather than a regular episode of the podcast, we’re sharing a presentation from the Unemployable Initiative, our paid community. The topic is search engine optimization, and the guest is Brian Dean, founder of Backlinko.
He begins by giving you a few of the most important high-level things that everyone needs to realize about SEO — including the enduring power of keyword optimization and some smart tips for how to discover search intent.
Then we cover a wide range of topics after that, including how artificial intelligence will impact SEO moving forward, how to think about SEO when you’re focusing on a curated email newsletter, tactical advice on how to structure content in WordPress, and much more.
What’s Working Right Now in SEO
Down below, we’ve got resources for knowing when it’s time to change course, the scoop on virtual events as a long-term component of your business, the beauty of retainer agreements, and more. Have a great week!
Keep going –
P.S. In addition to the library of educational content, the accountability groups, and the valuable relationships in the Unemployable Initiative, we’re just about to kick off a 4-week workshop on strategic email marketing. Now is an excellent time to join!
