“This gorilla tactic attached to things is budget friendly. It's focused on making sure things are low cost in nature as a whole, but taking the creative and intellectual aspect of marketing and the implementation pieces where it doesn't have to be expensive.” – Zack Knight In today's solo episode, I reflect on Chris's discussion on how cult-like brands focus on creating an immersive experience for their customers in order to keep them coming back. He discusses how big name companies have changed their marketing concepts in order to stay ahead of the competition. He talks about taking the creative and intellectual aspects of marketing and the implementation pieces to the point where it doesn't have to be expensive.

Cyber-attacks are becoming more and more frequent in today's digital age. However, according to a survey by CNBC and SurveyMonkey, most small businesses aren't ready. Here are some tips to up the cybersecurity for your small business.  Links:  For other small business resources visit trianglecu.org Learn more about KnowBe4 and their fraud prevention services Follow our podcast Facebook, Instagram and Twitter Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast.  Why does cybersecurity matter? According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, “Cyberattacks cost the U.S. economy billions of dollars a year and pose a threat for individuals and organizations.” Small businesses can be easy targets for cybercriminals, as they don't have the security infrastructure that larger businesses do. Small businesses are actually three times more likely to be attacked than larger businesses. Another reason that cybersecurity matters to your business is that according to the CNBC and SurveyMonkey poll, 55% of people in the U.S. say they would be less likely to continue doing business with a brand after a cyber-attack. So not only will the cybercriminals steal your data, they will also steal your business away.   Less than half of small businesses have strengthened their passwords, have multi-factor authentication, backed up their data on an external hard drive and have an anti-virus or malware software installed. This leaves their business open for attack, and with no protection, cybercriminals have easy access to their data. Strengthening your passwords and enabling multi-factor authentication is a quick and free step to start protecting your business. Remember, strong passwords shouldn't be easy to guess. The more complex the password is, the better. Having multi-factor authentication in place also makes it more difficult for cybercriminals to gain access as it adds an extra layer of protection to your password.   Backing up your data on an external hard drive is important – if the cybercriminals get into your data and decide to erase all of it you still have an extra copy. Having an anti-virus program installed will help protect against malware and viruses and can also help remove them from your computer if it does become infected. Always make sure that your anti-virus program is up to date. It would probably be a good idea to turn automatic updates on.   If you have employees, you should train them on internet usage best practices. Employees and their communication is one of the leading causes of data breaches for small businesses. Show them how to spot phishing emails, safe internet browsing practices, avoid downloading anything suspicious, and to protect sensitive information. Some cybersecurity companies like Knowbe4 offers security awareness training and simulated phishing attacks.  It is important to keep your internet connection safe as well. Always encrypt information and use a firewall on your network. If you are using Wi-Fi, add a password to it. You can also set up your router, so it doesn't broadcast the network name.   If your small business has been compromised, it's important to contain the damage. Figure out what has been compromised. If there's any malware, run your anti-virus program to remove it. If any passwords have been compromised, change them immediately. You then need to inform your employees, customers, and vendors about the breach. Being transparent is important, if you try and hide it, their data may be at risk as well. If necessary, get legal advice from a lawyer that specializes in Internet law.   If there are any other tips or topics you'd like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org and don't forget to like and follow our Making Money Personal Facebook and Instagram pages and look for our sponsor, Triangle Credit Union on Instagram and LinkedIn to share your thoughts.   Thanks for listening to today's Money Tip Tuesday and be sure to check out our other tips and episodes on the Making Money Personal podcast.   Have a great day!

If you follow me on Instagram, you might already know about the puppy saga that's been going on at our house. But, in case you don't know what I'm talking about, I'll fill you in.  A couple weeks ago, I was walking Hattie like I do every morning. However this particular walk threw us for an unexpected loop, because when Hattie and I got back to our block, I found a tiny, black puppy frolicing on the sidewalk and trying to eat a dandelion.  With no owners in sight, I scooped him up, gave him a bath, took him to our vet to see if he was chipped (which he wasn't), and I posted his photo all over social media and lost pet websites in an attempt to find his home.  I'm still in disbelief that nobody claimed this sweet boy, whom the vet said was no more than 12 weeks old when I found him. But, Zach named the pup “Little Richard,” and we've had him for almost two weeks now.  Little Richard is sitting on my lap as I record this, but before this episode airs, he'll be in his forever home, which I am both so happy and so sad about. We found the most ideal home for this lab-hound pup, and we know he is going to be well loved. But, you can bet there will be tears when we drop him off with his parents in just a couple days.  At this point, I'm sure you're thinking, “That's great Victoria, but what does a puppy have to do with running a small business?” And, after two weeks of having a pup and an older dog, I can promise you that your business has more in common with dogs than you likely think.  In this episode, we specifically discuss:  Like it isn't fair to compare a puppy who is learning to a dog who is well trained, it isn't fair for you to compare your business to someone else's that is further along than yours & allow yourself to feel less than.  Like businesses, dogs are trained & raised to serve different purposes.  You can find a more detailed version of this episode's show notes at:  https://victoriarayburnphotography.com/what-puppies-small-business-owners-common.  Mentioned Links & Resources Save 50% on Your First Six Months of Quickbooks Self-Employed - http://victoriarayburnphotography.com/quickbooks/  Save $50 On Your First Order of $100 or more from KISS Books - http://victoriarayburnphotography.com/kiss/   Join the Priority Pursuit Facebook Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/179106264013426     Follow or DM Victoria on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/victorialrayburn/

Small businesses are the foundation of the American economy, with 30.2 million small businesses making up 99.9% of American businesses and employing 47.5% of American employees. Despite the size of this segment, small businesses have unique challenges such as funding, payment processing, money transfer and more. In addition, most traditional small business bank processes are antiquated and time-consuming. My guest on the Banking Transformed podcast is Corey LeBlanc, co-founder of Locality Bank, a digital-first community bank based in Fort Lauderdale. Corey shares the mission of this start-up and how Locality is using financial technology to make processes more efficient, saving money and better serving their customers.

Warning - tough economic times ahead. And it's going to be incredibly challenging for small businesses, which often find themselves struggling to stay afloat when the economy takes a turn. But here's the thing: it doesn't have to be that way. Best-selling author and serial entrepreneur, Sean Castrina, join us in our podcast as he talks about how you can weather the storm if:

Hey everybody. What's up. It's Justin live from B2B vault, the payment technology podcast with your host, Alan Copeman. And we'll be providing you educational information about. Payments FinTech, decentralized finance and the technology businesses use in today's world. And in today's podcast, we're gonna be talking about high risk. Excuse me, we're gonna be talking about merchants, small businesses and chargebacks, and there's always different ways of fighting the chargeback different, crazy stories about the chargeback. Alan has a lot of, interesting stories about that as well. I, myself, wasn't very familiar with this process.

1. LinkedIn Launches ‘LinkedIn Collective' For B2B Marketers - LinkedIn has launched LinkedIn Collective, a community designed for and by B2B marketers to inspire excellence and success for all of us. Per LinkedIn:“The Collective will offer groundbreaking thought leadership and content resources informed by LinkedIn data and insights, our team of experts, and leaders across the B2B marketing industry. Some see LinkedIn purely as a distribution or promotional channel but we're here to challenge this assumption. Our platform is more than that – it's a thriving community of 850 million members that turn to us to help build their brands, foster connections and grow their communities.With the Collective, we want to showcase what it looks like to build a content brand on LinkedIn, proper. Though we will continue to provide the excellent and resourceful content that you've come to expect on this blog, our new content brand is platform-first and will live and grow on LinkedIn.”2. YouTube Update: New Metrics, Copyrighted Music.. - For creators, YouTube has added a number of new capabilities, including more data on their subscriber growth. Creators can now see how many subscribers they gain from community posts. This new metric can be accessed in YouTube Analytics' subscription source report. YouTube plans to introduce per-post subscriber analytics in the future. To provide creators more music choices for their videos, YouTube is broadening its partnerships with music labels and publishers so that they have the ability to access more copyrighted content while being able to earn revenue on their videos. Before this update, including copyrighted music would disqualify a video from monetization. If you've enabled the option to allow other creators to remix your content, you can now get more information about those remixes in YouTube Analytics. The three metrics you can see are: Total remix views  Top 15 remixes on mobile  Top 15 remixes on desktop 3. Google Added Structured Data For Product Pros And Cons - Google has added structured data support to read and potentially use pros and cons for product review snippet in the Google Search results. Google said you can now “tell Google about your pros and cons by supplying pros and cons structured data on editorial review pages.”  Even if you don't use this markup, Google may still show pros and cons in the product search result snippets. So take actions and do not rely on Google.4. Google Changed Search Result For Queries With Quotes - Now if you do a search such as [“google search”], the search results page will show the snippet where the quoted text appears.According to Google, prior to this update, the quoted search term was not always displayed in the Google Search result snippet because sometimes the quoted text exists in portions of a document that don't lend itself to making helpful snippets. For instance, a word or phrase might be present as a menu item on a page where you can access the site's many sections. Such portions might not result in a snippet that produces a readily accessible description. And now Google says that they made this change due to user feedback - “We've heard feedback that people doing quoted searches value seeing where the quoted material occurs on a page, rather than an overall description of the page. Our improvement is designed to help address this.”P.S: This is not a ranking change but rather a user interface change on how Google Search will show some searches, searches that use quotes. This may impact your click-through rate from the Google search results but will have no impact on how you rank for those types of queries.5. Google Launched A New Version Of Google Tag - The Google tag (gtag.js) is a single tag you can add to your website to use a variety of Google products and services. Instead of managing multiple tags for different Google product accounts, it lets you send data from your website to linked Google product destinations to help you measure the effectiveness of your website and ads.The new Google tag (currently only accessible and configurable from Google Ads and Google Analytics 4), which was shared at Google Marketing Live, is rolling out. The aim is to make tagging easier to ensure reliable measurement for the long-term. If you're already using the global site tag (gtag.js), you don't need to take any action, but here are some things to know: The new Google tag is a single, reusable tag built on top of your existing gtag.js implementations so no need to add new code There are also new codeless capabilities so you can set up & track on-page events right from the UI – no developer resources needed. You can easily combine & manage your Google tag settings from the new Google tag screen in both Google Ads & Google Analytics. The one code works across both products. Soon, you'll be able to use your existing Google tag installation when creating new Google products, accounts, conversion actions – no extra code needed. Plus, more updates to come, including for those using Google Tag Manager. For more information, you can read the Google announcement here. To see all the tags you have access to, go to Google Tag Manager and click the “Google tags” tab on the Accounts table.6. Google Keyword Planner Now Allows You To Organize Keyword InTo Ad Groups - This “Organize keywords into ad groups”  feature was released in 2021, only to a small number of users. And now Google is slowly rolling out this feature to global user base . Here is what Google had to say:"You could always manually choose to add keywords to ad groups (manually picking which ones to add where). This feature adds the ability to use an automated machine learning system where we suggest which ad groups are the best ones for the keywords, instead of you manually doing the placement. This should hopefully save advertisers time and effort if they have thousands of keywords/ad groups to sift through. The ability to manually add keywords still exists."FYI: Just like with most automation, use with caution. Test, analyze, and adjust as necessary.7. New Features In Google Discovery Ad - The new features are: The onboarding flow for creating Discovery ads has been rebuilt. Advertisers will be asked to add different aspect ratios, distinct headlines, and text overlays over images when they create their ads. Additionally, users will get real-time feedback on how effective their ads are, with scores ranging from "Poor" to "Excellent," as well as an optimization score with useful advice. Discovery advertisers can now use the insights page to see which audience segments may deliver the biggest impact. Advertisers can also use asset reporting to view performance across the Discovery ads. Users can compare the performance between assets and decide which ones to turn off, switch, or edit. Advertisers can also use optimized targeting to assess information about keywords and landing pages to find audiences that can meet your campaign goals. There is a new audience builder advertisers can use to create and reuse audiences across campaigns. Users can also use the Google Ads Editor as well as API to manage campaigns at scale. You can read the full announcement from Google in their help guide.8. Facebook Shutting Down Live Commerce On October 1, 2022 - Over the past few years, Facebook has been experimenting with live shopping implementations as part of a larger effort to capitalize on growing eCommerce trends.  And now the company has announced that it's shutting down its experiments with live shopping in the app, as of October 1st this year.However, it is not completely abandoning live shopping; Instagram will continue to host it and expand it. Mark just did not see a future for it on Facebook, which is understandable. And it also reflects the generally unfavorable reception to live shopping in western markets. Plus e-commerce is slowing down in the US. Remember in episode#119, we covered the 10% headcount reduction at Shopify. 9. Twitter ‘Location Spotlight' Is Now Available To All Businesses - Initially launched to selected businesses earlier in the year, now, all businesses that have switched to a Professional Profile can add the module, which displays your physical business location on a map within your Twitter profile presence.You can read more about how to convert your Twitter account to a Professional Profile at this link.10. New Workshops Added To Twitter Flight School - Twitter's Flight School is a free education element, which provides you with a Twitter accreditation, and covers all the basics of tweeting and tweet strategy - which is worth taking to ensure that you're across all the various opportunities of the app.Now, Twitter is launching a new ‘Taking Care of Business' workshop series, which is designed to help professionals starting out on Twitter gain a better understanding of its latest products and offerings.“The workshops will cover how to set up your Professional Account, how to activate an appropriate spotlight for your business and how to tweet confidently and engage with your audience.”You can register for the workshops, run via Twitter Flight School, here.Twitter is also launching additional business courses in its Flight School education platform. Here is what Twitter said:“We'll be rolling out 10 a la carte courses on Twitter Flight School that will cover several topics that are top of mind for professionals on how to leverage Twitter to drive customers to buy. Our #TweetLikeAPro coursework will be designed specifically for small to medium businesses and will cover topics like how to Up Your Tweet Game, Creating a Community of Engaged Followers and Keeping it Simple: The 4 Cs of Content Strategy.”You can find more about the latest Flight School courses here. 11. Pinterest Reports 9% Revenue Increase In Q2'22 With Errors In Their Quarterly Report - Pinterest published its Q2 2022 results with some mistakes. In their quarterly results they state that they have 433 million DAU - same as Q1.) However when I sum up the breakdown, I see the number at 432 million in Q2 and they lost 2 million actives in US. Meanwhile they had 434 million actives in Q1 while they reported 433 million. Also they had lower than expected revenue though they earned $665.9 million (a 9% year-over-year). Also their revenue per user is off since you divide the total revenue by active users. So I will not cover it here and I plan to blog + tweet about it to Pinterest later this week.FYI: Elliott Management has a track record of buying up assets in companies that it believes could be performing better has recently purchased a 9% stake in Pinterest.

Deidre Woollard, a real estate writer at Motley Fool, talks the about building modular homes in San Francisco, while legendary meteorologist Spenser Christian from Good Morning America and ABC7 talks about the short and long term effects of climate change on business and quality of life. Episode Transcript Intro: Welcome to the Practical Tax podcast, with tax attorney Steve Moskowitz. The Practical Tax podcast is brought to you by Moskowitz, LLP, a tax law firm.

You should see professional consultation for your individual tax and legal situation. Chip Franklin: Welcome everybody to practical tax I'm Chip Franklin and of course, Steve Moskowitz here. Steve, let's just dive right into this and talk a little bit about real estate. I know you know a lot about this. You've been in San Francisco forever and you've seen this incredible increase in property values. But it has been a tool to help people build wealth and because of the nature of investment in asset, it's transferability and tremendous effect on lowering income taxes. But the cost of ownership has begun to erode this opportunity, at least a lot of people think for many Americans. Is real estate still a go-to for financial wealth and for protecting your assets? Steve Moskowitz: Absolutely traditionally so much wealth has been built through real estate and also the Congress and their infinite wisdom so loves real estate investment. They've given all types of special deals to real estate. I could take our whole time just listing all these things. So the bottom line is there's so much here. And you talk about prices, but that's okay. You make money with OPM other people's money. So the bottom line is even if a property goes up in value, so what? You can borrow some money and you know what always happens. Like all businesses, the costs are passed along to the tenants or the other investors and there's so very much that you can do. Chip Franklin: Well, joining us right now is Deidre Woollard. She is a writer. You've seen her work on Motley Fool. She's also a researcher, an editor and she's obsessed with just about everything real estate from market investment trends, to the housing affordability issue and the latest techniques and something we're going to get to in modular construction. And she's so nice to join us right here on the show. Deidre hi, welcome to Practical Tax. Deidre Woollard: Thank you. Happy to be here. Steve Moskowitz: Thanks so much for joining us. We appreciate it. And our firm's mostly in tax. We represent individuals, entrepreneurs and small businesses looking to build wealth and generational wealth. And we've seen one of the most effective ways to accomplish this is through investing in real estate. This June, we were part of a real estate investing conference and I'm happy to see the strategy mythology and technology that's evolved, but there's definitely an air of anticipation with the current economic client. I'd love to get your take on the topic as it applies to real estate investors. Deidre Woollard: Yeah, I think there is a little bit of concern. We just got the existing home sales numbers from the NAR, those were down by about 8.6% year over year. So there's that concern about there being a bubble. I don't think that's going to happen, but we are seeing a little bit of resetting and a little bit of concern over what might be coming next. And certainly with interest rates getting to the point where we're getting close to that 6% mark and I think that is having an impact on how people are feeling about real estate in general right now. Steve Moskowitz:

1. Shopify Lays Off 10% Of Workforce - Tobias Lütke, the founder of Shopify, announced that it is letting go of ten percent of its workforce. He blamed himself for misjudging trends, resulting in too many employees. What was anticipated at Shopify was that the rapid Covid-era increase in E-commerce shopping would continue as a trend, hastening a greater adoption of online shopping.Unfortunately, the forecasted boom in post-Covid shopping failed to materialize. The CEO said that he decided to scale up hiring to meet the increased demand and that now that the projections are falling short, he was forced to make a difficult decision. Shopify employees face a layoff in recruiting, support roles, and sales.2. Instagram Backtracks And Rethinking Instagram Forward Strategy - In a new interview with Casey Newton, Adam Mosseri explained that Instagram will actually take a step back from recommended content, as well as its experiment with a full-screen, TikTok-like viewing experience.“For the new feed designs, people are frustrated and the usage data isn't great. So there I think that we need to take a big step back, regroup, and figure out how we want to move forward. When you discover something in your field that you didn't follow before, there should be a high bar - it should just be great. You should be delighted to see it, and I don't think that's happening enough right now. So I think we need to take a step back, in terms of the percentage of feed that are recommendations, get better at ranking and recommendations, and then - if and when we do - we can start to grow again.”3. Revenue Roundup: Microsoft, Google & Meta - Here are some key takeaways: Microsoft ad revenue decreased by about $100 million due to reductions in advertising spend LinkedIn revenue increased 26%, while user sessions grew 22%. Total Alphabet revenue 13% increase YoY to $69.7 billion (from $61.9 billion by the end of Q2 in 2021) Google Ad revenue $56.3 billion (up from $50.4 in 2021) YouTube revenue $7.3 billion (up 5% from $7 billion in 2021), which missed analysts' predictions of $7.5 billion Meta's ad revenue dropped one percent in Q2 2022 compared to last year's period. They brought in $28.82 billion from ads, though it expected to earn $28.94 billion. One positive trend to note is Facebook's daily active users are up three percent. There are now 1.97 billion people logging in every day. Meta's apps aren't declining in popularity by any means. The audience is there. The problem is that advertisers have smaller budgets, and they're not getting the same value from ads as they used to. To remedy the issue of declining ad revenue, Meta has plans to offer new types of monetization. More specifically, the company is working on ways to make money from Reels. 4. LinkedIn Launches Native Carousel Posts - LinkedIn users have been posting makeshift carousel posts for some time, using its PDF attachment option to create individual frames. And now, LinkedIn has decided to make it a fully-fledged functionality, with a new ‘Carousel' post option being added to your update tools.5. Pinterest Launches Real-Time Analytics - Pinterest has now officially launched real-time analytics elements within Pin Analytics on mobile, which will provide more data on exactly how your Pins are performing at any given time. Real-time insights are also available in the web Analytics platform, but now, you'll also be able to access much of the same data on the go, which is likely where many more people are looking to check in.Real-time insights are not available for audience metrics, like ‘Total Engaged Monthly Audience' and age and gender filters. But you will be able to see overall data on response to your Pins, whenever you check in, which could be a helpful guide for your Pin strategy.6. Google Extends Deadline For Third-Party (Tracking) Cookies To 2024 - Google is now expanding the testing window for its Privacy Sandbox APIs before it moves to disable third-party cookies in Chrome. They announced that it's expanding the testing period for its Privacy Sandbox, and its alternative tracking tools, in order to give the industry more time to provide feedback and adjust to the coming shift. “The most consistent feedback we've received is the need for more time to evaluate and test the new Privacy Sandbox technologies before deprecating third-party cookies in Chrome. This feedback aligns with our commitment to the CMA to ensure that the Privacy Sandbox provides effective, privacy-preserving technologies and the industry has sufficient time to adopt these new solutions. This deliberate approach to transitioning from third-party cookies ensures that the web can continue to thrive, without relying on cross-site tracking identifiers or covert techniques like fingerprinting.We now intend to begin phasing out third-party cookies in Chrome in the second half of 2024. As always, you can find up-to-date timelines and milestones on the Privacy Sandbox website.”7. The Reason Why The Search Console CWV Report & PageSpeed Insights Differ - Google's John Mueller explained that  the two scores are different because the method for calculations is different.“... there's a difference between so-called field data and the lab data. Field data is what users have actually seen when they go to your website. And this is what we use in Search Console. That's what we use for search as well. Whereas lab data is kind of a theoretical view of your website, like where our systems have certain assumptions where they think, well the average user is probably like this, using this kind of device and with this kind of a connection perhaps. And based on those assumptions, we will estimate what those numbers might be for an average user. And obviously you can imagine those estimations will never be a hundred percent correct.”So what Mueller is saying then is that Search Console scores reflect what actual site visitors saw. The way Google measures those actual numbers is through visitors who have opted in to allowing Chrome to provide anonymized core web vitals data. Google doesn't measure every site visitor, only those who have opted in to sending that data to Google. Contrasting with Search Console's field data, PageSpeed Insights is creating a simulation of what a user might experience. The purpose of Search Console data is to show what real site visitors are experiencing. The purpose of PageSpeed Insights data is to provide an estimate of what's going on in order to provide diagnostic feedback on what may be causing poor webpage speed performance.“And similarly, the data that users have seen, that will change over time as well, where some users might have a really fast connection or a fast device and everything goes really fast on their website, or when they visit your website. And others might not have that. And because of that, this variation can always result in different numbers. Our recommendation is generally to use the field data, the data you would see in Search Console, as a way of understanding what is kind of the current situation for a website. And then to use the lab data, namely the individual tests that you can run directly yourself, to optimize your website and try to improve things. And when you are pretty happy with the lab data that you're getting with your new version of your website, then over time you can collect the field data, which happens automatically and double-check that users actually see it as being faster or more responsive as well. So in short, again, there is no absolutely correct number when it comes to any of these metrics. There is no kind of like absolutely correct answer where you'd say, this is what it should actually be. But rather, there's different assumptions and different ways of collecting data and each of these are subtly different.” The purpose of the Search Console tool is to provide granular snapshots of real-world site performance. The purpose of PageSpeed Insights is diagnostic, to identify problems and offer suggestions for improvement. 8. Google Wants You To Replace HTTP Links With HTTPS - Several years ago, Google's Gary Illyes said replacing links isn't worth it when proper redirects are in place. Now, Google's Search Advocate John Mueller says you should always try to replace internal links pointing to HTTP URLs with the newer HTTP versions. Here are the reasons why replacing old HTTP internal links with https is a good idea: First, it's cleaner than having a bunch of redirects. And, unlike external links, you have complete control over the URL visitors are sent to. Anyone clicking on a link that redirects to HTTPS has to go through the HTTP version first. Getting rid of the extra ‘hop' means visitors get to the content faster.  Relying on redirects for internal links is a fool's errand. Many things can go wrong, such as redirect chains, redirect loops, and broken links. If a site loads images with HTTP URLs, it can cause browsers to give visitors a “not secure” error message, deterring them from staying on your site. Redirects eat your crawl budget because every redirect counts as a page crawled. Google can potentially crawl more pages per session without the redirects in place. Lastly, you can't depend on redirects working indefinitely. Redirects can break or get deleted while replacing the links ensures they're changed forever. 9. The 411 On Google Search Quality Rater Guidelines Update - Google has made a variety of significant updates to its Search Quality Rater Guidelines. The most significant overhauls were to Google's definitions of YMYL (Your Money, Your Life), and the extent to which E-A-T matters as a matter of page quality.Google defines YMYL topics as either being inherently dangerous (violent extremism), or harmful because presenting misinformation related to the topic can be harmful. For example, providing bad advice related to heart attacks, investments or earthquakes could cause harm to the user.Google also revamped its definition of what it means to be a low-quality page. In a previous version, Google claimed a page may be low quality, in part, because the creator of the main content may lack sufficient expertise for the purpose of the page. This statement was deleted. Google now expands upon the role of E-A-T in determining whether a page is low-quality.You can download the full 167-page PDF raters guidelines over here. 10. Google Ads Will Now Automatically Update Conversion Attribution Models - Google has sent an email letting advertisers know that if their account qualifies then their ad accounts would be switched to data-driven attribution. Advertisers have until August 24 to cancel the auto-switch.Google announced in September that data-driven attribution would become the default model, but advertisers would still have access to the five other rule-based models. Data-driven attribution uses advanced machine learning techniques to more accurately understand how each marketing touchpoint contributed to a conversion. According to Google, data-driven attribution takes multiple signals into account including ad format and time between the ad and interaction and conversion.11. Google Merchant Center Now Accepts Gated Product Listings - Google has updated its Merchant Center policy to no longer automatically disapproved free listings for products that have login required and/or restricted purchase access. Google said it now will list these products as active but with the caveat that they may “have limited visibility on Google.”Google explained “Login required” issue status means that customers visiting your store website need to provide account access information, such as entering a username and password or installing a program, before being able to view your products.Google explained “Restricted purchase” issue status means that the ability to buy products on your store website is limited to certain customers as defined by location, device type, information provided, or some other exclusive criteria. Fields like business information should be optional and content should be consistent and available to visitors in all locations.12. Google Publishes 6 Tips For E-Commerce Sites - Google published a new video offering six tips for how to make ecommerce sites eligible for special presentations in the search results.  Title Tags - If the title element doesn't adequately describe what the webpage is about that Google will rewrite it, using content from the heading at the top of the page or even the anchor text from links to the webpage. Take extra care with automated product title tags to ensure there is no duplicate content or missing information. Avoid dynamically generated title tags to add availability or price data to the title tag because there's a lag between when the title tag is updated and when Google eventually shows the updated title link in the SERPs. By this time, the information may be outdated. Include High Quality Images - High quality images are a user experience consideration in that they help potential customers make up their minds about a product. Audit your site for low quality images and replacing them with higher quality photos. Checking the Max Image Preview meta data because it guides Google on how to show those images in the SERPs. Lastly, use product structured data to help Google identify the correct images to show in the search results. Many businesses consider things like images in terms of how they may help their webpage rank better in the search results. But it's more productive to consider product images in terms of how they help users decide to purchase a product. Share Rich Product Data - Structured data helps Google better understand webpages and makes them eligible to be displayed as rich results, what he referred to as “special presentation treatments” in the search results. The following are essential elements for product structured data to include:  Product title  Description  Images  Ratings  Price  Availability Share Price Drop Data - Sharing pricing information with Google can make the product page eligible for a special price drop presentation in the search results, which may call attention to it. Appearing in the search results with a special price drop presentation isn't guaranteed. To make a page eligible for price drop rich results, you must include the Offer property in the product structured data that is a specific price point and not a price range. Identify Products You Sell - This tip advises using accurate product identifiers such as GTIN identifiers, using a combination of Google Merchant Center feed and product structured data. Following this advice can make a product eligible for listings such as the product carousels. Create a Business Profile - Creating a Google Business Profile if the business has a physical presence. This makes a site eligible for a special listing alongside the search results. This type of listing is only available for businesses with a physical store presence or a covered service area. Watch the Google YouTube Video - How to Make Your Ecommerce Website Stand Out in Google Search (6 Tips)13. YouTube's New Feature Will Help You To Turn Your Long Form Videos Into Shorts - YouTube is looking to encourage more short clips via a new option that will enable creators to convert segments of their existing long-form content into minute-long Shorts variations. The new ‘Edit into a Short' option will enable you to select a section of your regular video uploads to then cut into a bite-sized version.14. YouTube Answers Common Questions On YT Shorts - YouTube demystifies the Shorts algorithm in a Q&A video that addresses several of the most common questions creators have about gaining visibility with short-form content. Here's a recap of each question and answer in the video. Should I Mix Long And Short-Form Content On The Same Channel? - “We've done some analysis recently where we looked at audience growth for channels that only made long-form videos, and channels that made both long-form and short videos. Channels that made Shorts actually seemed to be growing faster. We anticipate that audience demand for short-form content is here to stay. This is a format that's becoming increasingly popular, and the very reason we've been testing so much in more mobile-first creation tools and Shorts discovery.” Will YouTube Recommend More Long-Form Videos If People Watch My Shorts? - “Viewers watching Shorts aren't always the same viewers watching longer-form content… For this reason, we separate Shorts and long-form content from watch history. So when someone discovers a new channel via Shorts, we're not currently using that to inform what longer videos are recommended to them outside of the Shorts experience.” Is There A Benefit To Starting A Separate Channel For Shorts? - “Try to group your channels around similar audiences who enjoy the same or similar content. Separate them out when your viewers have totally different interests… If you start building up different audiences with different interests then consider making a separate channel.” How Many Shorts Do I Need To Upload Before The Algorithm Recommends My Content? - “Every Short is given a chance to succeed no matter the channel or the number of videos on the channel. Performance of a Short is dictated by whether or not people are choosing to watch and not skip a video in the Shorts feed. That audience engagement is often built over time as opposed to happening instantaneously.”

Twitter Posts Lower Revenue Despite Adding 9 Mil Users - Twitter added 9 million new daily active users in Q2'2022, taking it to 238 million total mDAU. Most of the new growth has come from international markets, with Twitter only adding 2 million new users in the US. In terms of its ‘rest of the World' stats, Twitter hasn't provided a breakdown of where its newest 7 million users have come from, but Japan and India remain its second and third largest user bases, after the US.In terms of revenue, Twitter brought in $1.18 billion in Q2, a decrease of 1% year-over-year.3. Snapchat Added 15 Million New Users - Snap Inc. has posted its Q2 2022 numbers, which show a steady increase in usage, but slower growth on the revenue side. First off, on users – Snapchat added 15 million more users in Q2, taking it up to 347 million daily actives. Though Snapchat has seen significant growth in India, there was virtually no growth in the North American market.Average revenue per user remains relatively low in other markets, especially in the ‘Rest of the World' category, where Snap added the majority of its new users.4. Meta Launches Small Business Studios Project - Meta has launched a new Small Business Studios project, which will provide both online and in-person training elements to help small businesses make the most of their marketing efforts across both Facebook and Instagram. Build Your Brand workshop: An online workshop providing creative inspiration and branding guidance to small businesses using Facebook and Instagram. This workshop champions a customer mindset and dives in on business branding, how to build copy and creative when creating a post and then deciding what to post. Reels School: A course designed for small businesses to simplify Reels creation while expanding their audience reach and helping achieve business goals. Photography virtual workshop: Since building great creative can feel daunting, this training pairs small businesses with an expert to teach owners how to make great, low-cost and low-lift images that are made for mobile. In addition to this, you can also sign-up to get a one-on-one business support session with someone from Meta's Small Business Team, which could provide some valuable insight into how to maximize your Facebook and Instagram presences.It's also one of the only ways that you might be able to speak to a real person within Meta, which could see it flooded with non-brand-building queries. Either way, you can register for the initiative here.You can learn more about Meta's Small Business Studio programs and content here.5. Facebook Changing The News Feed - “One of the most requested features for Facebook is to make sure people don't miss friends' posts. So today we're launching a Feeds tab where you can see posts from your friends, groups, Pages and more separately in chronological order. The app will still open to a personalized feed on the Home tab, where our discovery engine will recommend the content we think you'll care most about. But the Feeds tab will give you a way to customize and control your experience further.”Facebook's main UI will now be split into a ‘Home' feed, which will primarily focus on recommended content to keep you entertained, while you'll also have a new ‘Feeds' tab, where you'll be able to view the latest posts in different categories, including ‘Favorites', ‘Friends', ‘Groups', etc.The move shifts the Facebook experience more into line with TikTok, which calls itself an ‘entertainment app', not a social network.6. Instagram Adds In-Chat Payment Feature - Now you can make purchases and track orders directly in chats with small businesses on Instagram in the US. The new process will enable businesses to request payment within a message thread, with users then able to transfer funds, right then and there, streamlining purchase. Users will be able to use Meta Pay (the payment system formerly known as ‘Facebook Pay') to complete their purchase, with businesses then able to maintain connection on updates and details as the order is processed. It's essentially the same as payment transfers between friends, which have been available in Messenger since 2017. Now, businesses will also be able to tap into that same capacity.7. Discovering Local Business On Instagram - Instagram's location maps are now searchable, making it easier to discover places and businesses in your geographic area. Previously, the map experience on Instagram was limited to discovering posts tagged with nearby locations.This update to Instagram maps makes it possible to find popular establishments near you and filter businesses by categories.Finding businesses on the Instagram map is as simple as searching for the name of a city and dragging the map around. When you find a location you're interested in, you can save it for future reference or follow the Instagram account to keep it top of mind.Locations are not pre-populated or user-submitted, like on Google Maps. As a business, the only way to get found on the Instagram map is to have a professional account filled in with your contact information.In practice, the new Instagram Maps experience is similar to discovering Google Business Profiles on Google Maps. The Instagram experience is more engaging in some ways, as you can see all kinds of visual content published by the business and interact with them directly. You can even see content shared by other customers, provided they add the appropriate location tag. The only thing lacking from the experience is customer reviews.8. Instagram Converting All Videos Under 15 Mins To Reels - Instagram will automatically convert all video posts shorter than 15 minutes into Reels. This change applies to new videos only. Existing videos shorter than 15 minutes will remain as video posts. The Video and Reels tabs on your Instagram profile will join as one when this change rolls out in the coming weeks.9. Latest IG Features: Templates, Boosts & More - New features for Reels include: Enhanced remixes - Instagram is enhancing the remix feature for Reels, which allows you to react to videos from other users. Now, you'll be able to remix public photos and record your reaction to them as a Reel. For the first time, you'll be able to add your recording after the original clip instead of having both pieces of content appear simultaneously. New templates - You can now create Reels using templates, which preload audio and clip placeholders so you can add your photos or video clips. A new Dual template lets you record video with your phone's front and back camera at the same time. The ability to boost Reels as ads - Businesses can now boost Reels within the Instagram app by turning them into ads. To boost a Reel, it must be 100% original content, less than 60 seconds long, and recorded in the 9:16 (vertical) aspect ratio. After publishing it, you can boost a Reel by viewing your content and tapping Boost Post. Boosting a Reel gives you access to engagement insights exclusive to advertisements. Boosted Reels appear in the Instagram main feed, Stories, the Reels tab, and the Explore page. 10. TikTok Adds Auto-Caption & Translation - TikTok's auto captions will appear at the lower left hand side of the screen, adding important context to the viewing experience, especially in sound off environments.TikTok's also added new translations for captions and descriptions, which could help users around the world engage with more clips.Finally, TikTok's also adding translations for text-based stickers and overlays to provide even more context for non-native speakers.Both of TikTok's new translation tools will initially support English, Portuguese, German, Indonesian, Italian, Korean, Mandarin, Spanish and Turkish, so there's a range of translation options to consider, which could spark entirely new, global trends.P.S: TikTok says that it's in the early stages of rolling out these new tools, which are available on select videos at present.11. Google Auto-Upgrading Smart Shopping Campaigns To Performance Max - Google has begun to roll out automatic updates converting Smart Shopping campaigns into Performance Max. Google will send a notification about 2-3 weeks before the updates take effect and provide a specific date when your campaigns will be converted. Google says when your campaigns are self-upgraded using the tool or automatically upgraded, learnings from your previous Smart Shopping campaigns carry over to your new Performance Max campaigns to maintain consistent performance. Your campaign settings will also automatically transfer.If you don't want to wait for Google and prefer to update your campaigns on your own, you can use the “one-click” upgrade tool.12.

Erik Huberman, the founder of Hawke Media, brings a powerful message: if your revenue is lower than $10k a month don't delegate your marketing to an agency, and when you hire one, consider that most of them aren't good at what they do. Successful businesses understand the principles of awareness, nurturing, and trust; know the Purchase Cycles of their customers, and balance their patience healthily.

Everything else will follow. =====
