Ex-Amazon insider Kara Babb shares how to use social media, branding, and AI to build unforgettable brands and drive real emotional connections with customers. Kara Babb, a former Amazon vendor manager, joins us to unravel the complexities of branding in the ever-evolving e-commerce landscape. Drawing from her rich experience, Kara emphasizes the necessity of an omnichannel strategy, highlighting how sustainable brand success relies heavily on building a presence both on and off Amazon. She shares her insights on the significance of external traffic and creative brand awareness campaigns, with compelling examples like Poppy and BirdBuddy, to show how they can create sales surges and foster growth in the competitive market. Our exploration takes a fascinating turn as we examine BirdBuddy's innovative use of TikTok to capture the millennial and Gen Z audience, uncovering how creative content strategies can lead to explosive viral success. We discuss the hurdles platforms like Amazon face in the realm of social media, and the cultural barriers that live shopping encounters in the West compared to its success in Asia. Kara provides a nuanced understanding of why companies like Amazon and TikTok sometimes struggle when stepping outside their core competencies, offering a window into the future of digital engagement and consumer interaction. The conversation moves toward the frontier of AI in shopping, where we discuss how platforms like TikTok and AI models are reshaping consumer search behaviors. We introduce the concept of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and its implications for brand strategies, particularly for smaller sellers facing rising costs and international competition. Wrapping up, we delve into how brands like Scrub Daddy, Apple, and Chanel create deep emotional connections with their customers, emphasizing the power of brand identity to transcend mere transactions and maintain a lasting presence in consumers' lives.

"How I've had success in life, for me, it's really about understanding our brains. There are three core things that, in my mind, are the things that affect success, happiness, everything. You have your conscious mind, this is the stuff that I choose, I choose this goal, I want this thing. Then there's another part of your mind where fear is based out of. Fear is there to protect us, and it's interesting, when a baby is born, there are only two fears, loud noises and the fear of falling. And then over time, they learn more fears. In the new book I break it down into two, fears of the body and fears of the ego. The fears of the ego is the stuff that messes us up, we have this ego that makes us go like "what if they don't like me?" or "what if I'm not enough?". For most of us, we consciously decide "I wanna have success" but then the fear is so heavy, you can't turn it off. And so, it's about understanding how that works and how do we learn how to turn off these fears. These fears are irrational, they're not real" Over the past 19 years, Russell Brunson has built a following of over a million entrepreneurs, sold hundreds of thousands of copies of his books (making him a New York Times Bestselling Author), popularized the concept of sales funnels, and co-founded the software company called ClickFunnels that helps tens of thousands of entrepreneurs quickly get their message out to the marketplace.

In this episode, Mike and Dave evaluate the impact of Google's September 2023 Update on EcomCrew's and other websites, and talk about the new challenges that have popped up because of this update. Ever since September 2023, ranking on Google as an affiliate site has been harder than ever. We've seen websites (including ours) decline in organic views from 20% to 80%, while Reddit has started to rank for every keyword.
