Send us a textIn this thought-provoking episode of the Near Memo podcast, SEO veteran Cindy Krum joins Greg Sterling and Mike Blumenthal to unpack how Google's evolving use of AI, including MUM (Multitask Unified Model), is reshaping the search landscape. Krum explains how Google is moving from keyword- and entity-based indexing to modeling “journeys” that reflect a user's intent — aligning with Google's long-abandoned concept of “micro-moments” like “I want to know,” “I want to go,” “I want to do,” and “I want to buy.” These journeys are increasingly being monetized across different verticals such as YouTube, Merchant Center, and local results, as Google balances expensive AI integration with ad revenue optimization.The trio also explores the convergence of Google Discover, AI Overviews, and personalized browsing experiences — warning that this personalization could result in unprecedented data tracking and loss of consumer privacy. Krum emphasizes that marketers and SEOs must adapt quickly: diversify traffic sources, optimize across social and non-Google platforms, and consider how Google's motivations (data consolidation and monetization) are shaping an experience that prioritizes corporate interests over user needs. The message is clear — traditional SEO tactics won't survive the AI-driven tide unless they evolve dramatically.TakeawaysCindy Krum discusses the MUM model and its impact on SEO.Google's monetization strategies are evolving with AI integration.Personalization in search is becoming increasingly important.Marketers need to optimize for user intent and MUM journeys.Informational queries represent a significant portion of search traffic.Diversifying traffic sources is crucial for digital marketers.Branding and social media presence are essential for visibility.The search landscape is changing rapidly due to AI advancements.Marketers should be proactive in adapting to these changes.Understanding user journeys will be key to future SEO strategies.Subscribe to our newsletters and other content at https://www.nearmedia.co/subscribe/

In this episode, I sit down with Kathleen Kobel, an Amazon expert and passive income strategist, for a practical and eye-opening conversation on building revenue streams beyond your art or services. From flipping textbooks to becoming a successful Amazon influencer, Kathleen walks us through how creators—yes, even without a huge following—can start earning commissions through Amazon's Influencer Program and create content that keeps working for them in the background. If you've been looking for ways to diversify your income, monetize the products you already use, or add something scalable to your creative business, this episode is full of insights you can take action on today. We talk about: How Kathleen got started by reselling textbooks—and why simplicity is key when beginning What the Amazon Influencer Program is and how it actually works Why you don't need a big following to earn commissions on Amazon How to create UGC (user-generated content) that Amazon loves The types of product videos that perform well (and how to start with what you already own) How much time it really takes to see results—and why it's still worth it Product selection strategies that can make or break your earnings Why Amazon does most of the heavy lifting when it comes to marketing How this can be a truly passive income stream with upfront effort Creative ways to repurpose content and save time This is a must-listen for anyone looking to add passive income streams to their creative business without burning out or starting from scratch. Tools and takeaways: You can earn commissions even with a small or no audience UGC sells—real content from real people builds trust Repurpose what you're already using and loving Time investment up front can lead to long-term income Diversifying income creates more freedom and stability Amazon's built-in audience means less pressure on you to “sell” Passive income = more space to be creative elsewhere Start messy—it doesn't have to be perfect to work Connect with Kathleen Kobel Website: https://kathleenkobel.com YouTube: Kathleen Kobel Book: The Unconventional Business Model

And if you listen too closely to the noise, it can shake your confidence, cloud your judgment, and lead you to make the wrong move at the wrong time. So today, I've got something a little different for you—a real heavyweight conversation. I'm bringing together two very different investing worlds—property and shares—and joining me is the brilliant Louise Bedford. She's a bestselling author, a trading mentor, and one of Australia's most respected voices in the share trading space. Louise and I are going to dive deep into the psychology of investing—what really happens in our minds when the markets get messy, why fear and greed are such powerful forces, and how to stay calm, confident, and profitable even when it feels like everything is working against you. This isn't just another chat about what the market's doing. It's about what you should be doing—and more importantly, thinking—when things feel out of control.   Takeaways • Market volatility is not new; it's just more pronounced now. • Investors often react emotionally during downturns, leading to poor decisions. • Long-term investors see market dips as opportunities. • A solid investment strategy is crucial for success. • Grounding techniques can help manage emotional responses. • Recognizing personal triggers is key to maintaining control. • Diversifying information sources can combat confirmation bias. • Staying calm during market panic is essential for making rational decisions. • Building resilience is vital for navigating investment challenges. • Life is about constant change; our attitudes shape our outcomes.   Chapters 00:00 Navigating Market Volatility 01:03 The Psychology of Investing 02:13 Navigating Market Volatility 05:10 Understanding Investor Psychology 08:19 Identifying Opportunities in Uncertain Times 11:17 The Importance of Long-Term Thinking 14:19 Strategies to Combat Fear and Noise 16:59 Grounding Techniques for Traders 20:10 Staying Calm Amidst Market Chaos 23:20 Recognizing Personal Triggers 26:13 The 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding Technique 29:13 Embracing Your Inner Investor 32:02 Final Thoughts and Actionable Steps 39:03 The Power of Attitude and Change   Links and Resources: Get a bundle of free reports and eBooks – www.PodcastBonus.com.au   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us  We help both beginning and experienced investors   Louise Bedford - The Trading Game   Louise's new book Investing Psychology Secrets   Also, please subscribe to my other podcast Demographics Decoded with Simon Kuestenmacher – just look for Demographics Decoded wherever you are listening to this podcast and subscribe so each week we can unveil the trends shaping your future.

How do you build an endless stream of referrals to sustain your recruitment business during an economic downturn?Brandon Glyck relies on this strategy: relentless follow-ups. This doesn't mean harassing a client or candidate to do follow-ups; in fact, it is the other way around. I am sure you will find Brandon's insight on this topic interesting!Brandon is the CEO of Quantum Search Partners in Virginia, where he leads a passionate team of tech and executive recruiters.They've been recognized three consecutive years on the Inc.500 list of fastest-growing companies (2021-2023) and have twice been a Washington Business Journal Best Place to Work (2023 and 2024).Episode Outline and Highlights[03:15] How Brandon got into recruiting at the young age of 18.[11:24] Doing things differently to adapt to the 2008 recession.[15:24] The strategy of leveraging relationships and constant referrals via relentless follow-ups.[33:12] “Those who appear hungry will starve.” - Know Brandon's conversation approach.[37:46] Dealing with the 2023 Tech downturn by upping their outbound business development.[44:02] Discussion on Tech Stacks, AI, and automation - what are the key things to personalize?[53:48] Brandon's plans and what the next 18 years will look like.[56:49] Building a culture aligned with a common vision and shared values.[1:01:30] Why lean towards retained and executive search?Age is Not a Differentiator Brandon shared an astonishing story about making his first placement when he was 18, while attending school. Inspired by his father, being young was never a differentiating factor that hindered him from building a solid foundation as an effective recruiter and eventually a business owner. He shared, “I saw my dad doing it. My dad would close deals like sitting on a lounge chair in the middle of our living room… I'm like, well, if he can do it, you know, why can't I do it? You do the research on the companies you're representing. You learn about the skill sets, and you just dive into it. And I don't think age is a differentiating factor. I think sometimes it's confidence or like. Yeah, I think that's a big part of it.”There are at least three factors that contributed to his success as a young recruiter:His humble learning attitude: by observing his father and other seniors “educate” him, he easily learned the tricks of the trade.His confidence: his drive to succeed gave him the mindset that age is never a differentiating factorHis perspective and mindset: knowing that all men are equal, he treats everyone the same. How he would treat a CEO is how he would also treat a janitor.Building a Stream of Referrals Through Relentless Follow-Ups Another stunning fact: Brandon and his team built a $5.5m business almost entirely by referrals. All recruiters and recruitment business owners aim to deliver their best to clients and candidates to build a stream of referrals. Brandon's strategy is heavily reliant on relentless follow-ups.What exactly does this mean?Consistency over intensity: It's not about hounding people, but staying top-of-mind over a long period.Genuine care: The intent is to show real interest in people's well-being, not just to chase business.Long-term mindset: Understand that value and referrals can take years to come to fruition.Controlled intensity: Stay focused, don't obsess over results—just stay consistent with outreach.Relationship-first approach: Business follows when trust and familiarity are built.Brandon shared a pragmatic approach that they use to execute the above, such as using different contact options (email, text, phone calls), tracking systems, segmented contact lists, MPCs, and others. He also emphasized the importance of adding value to the community by doing acts of goodwill, such as reviewing resumes and committing to it regularly.Showing Resilience - 2008 Recession & 2023 Tech DownturnYou will also admire Brandon's story on how he and his dad dealt with the 2008 recession. He was just starting as a recruiter back then, and when they lost their biggest client (AIG), he started making cold calls: “He ended up effectively losing that client. And it's now this summer before I'm going back to school. He buys me a book of computer executive contact info. So this is again, pre-Zoom info, like true cold calling from a book. So I'm doing a hundred cold calls. I have my little cold call script, 19 or 20 at this time, and I start landing us business. It was pretty cool. Like, looking back on it at the time, I didn't know what the heck I was doing, but it was working.”The same approach worked in 2023, during the tech downturn when Brandon and his team had to up their outbound business development. Brandon elaborated on four action points:Diversifying into new industries.Focusing on relevant and personalized outreaches.Testing multiple business development tactics, andBuilding a repeatable, scalable process.He also shared their tech stacks and how they are using them not to automate outreaches, but rather to personalize them.Indeed, a recruiter's resilient mindset is the key to remaining relevant and successful in a market where nothing can be certain.Brandon Glyck Bio and Contact InfoCEO at Quantum Search Partners, where I lead a passionate and talented team of tech and executive recruiters.Creative, driven, and competitive executive and technology talent leader who is willing to go above and beyond for clients, candidates, and team members.

Tariffs are back again and stronger than ever. Things are still a little shaky at the moment because we never really know what will happen tomorrow but today, Dave discusses 5 ways you can deal with the new tariffs through DDP, diversifying, and negotiation.  Big Takeaways:  It is basically impossible to eliminate the effects of the tariffs but there are ways to minimize them.  DDP shipping puts risk on your supplier, not you. Diversifying sales channels can be a great way to keep your profit margins healthy.  Negotiate discounts with your suppliers to soften the blow.  Moving your manufacturing can reduce tariffs and contribute to a healthier business. Accept that the business landscape has changed permanently. Look for new opportunities that arise from these challenges. Consider manufacturing in Canada and Mexico as alternatives. Evaluate your product catalog in these new market conditions.
