We covered Etherlink, their EVM Layer 2 rollup that brings Solidity developers into the Tezos world.

Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS hosts a two-part live session from the Marketing Club on Clubhouse, joined by Brian (digital marketing), Liverpool (social media), Angelique (commercial lending startup), and others. The conversation covers how to build product and service pages that rank on search engines, the three stages of buyer awareness (problem aware, solution aware, product aware), why 82% of websites worldwide are outdated, the four types of media (owned, paid, shared, earned), how Google Reviews impact rankings, and tools like Nudgify, Switchy.io, and SEMrush for building brand awareness online.Key TakeawaysBuild from the ground up, not the roof down. Your website needs keyword-rich URL slugs, proper H1-H6 heading structure, and semantic keywords before any social media push.Three stages of buyer awareness drive every sale. Problem aware (they search Google), solution aware (they land on your page), product aware (they recognize your brand as the answer).82% of 1.9 billion websites have not been updated in 6 months. Update your website daily to signal the algorithm that your business is active.Use the CNN model. Never give the full story on social media. Drive people to your website for the complete content, just like major news outlets do.Google Reviews are a major ranking factor. Keep them fresh, avoid all five-star reviews (looks moderated), and embed them on your site using tools like Nudgeify.Master the four types of media. Owned (your content), Paid (ads), Shared (social platforms), and Earned (press/features). Start with owned media and build toward earned.Memorable Quotes"You don't build a house from the roof down. You build from the ground up." — Favour [07:30]"82% of 1.9 billion websites have not been updated in the last six months." — Favour [101:03]"If CNN gave you the full story on Instagram, would you go to their website? No." — Favour [118:24]"SEO is not a one-size-fits-all. It's not a cookie cutter machine." — Favour [71:17]"The better the connection, the better the frequency. The better the frequency, the better the energy." — Favour [119:14]FAQsShould I focus on products or services for my website?Both need dedicated keyword-rich pages. Each product or service should have its own page with text, video, images, pricing, and FAQ so search engines can index them individually.How often should I update my website?Daily if possible. Even once a week puts you ahead of the 82% of websites that go six months without an update. Every update signals the algorithm that your business is active.What tools were recommended?Nudgify (social proof popups), Switchy.io (UTM codes, link shortening, pixel tracking — $39 on AppSumo), SEMrush (keyword research), and Google Business Profile for reviews.How do I build brand awareness from scratch?Start with owned media on your website. Answer the questions your audience is searching for. Then distribute to social media, collect emails, and build toward earned media like press features.Book SEO Services?

Favour moved from 12/14 to 16 and hit a 73.7% open rate and 68.9% click rate — his highest ever.Send fewer, better emails. Cutting from 16 emails/month to 4 increased click rates from 3.5% to 17.9% over three months.For every $1 spent on email marketing, expect $42 back in impact across traffic, connections, and conversions.Flodesk Magic Links auto-segment subscribers based on what they click, eliminating manual workflow creation.Test deliverability before sending. Use InboxBooster.com to check inbox placement across Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, and AOL. A Wikipedia link triggered spam in Favour's test.Use CapitalizeMyTitle.com to score subject lines on readability, SEO, and sentiment. Score green on all three before sending.Memorable Quotes"Four out of five marketers say they would rather give up social media marketing than email marketing." — Favour [03:10, Pt.1]"It's not just what you say.

It's not just about sending email. It's about analyzing the data." — Sandra [29:41, Pt.2]"We divided our time in half and got more impact. From 16 emails in May to 4 in August — 15% increase in click rates." — Favour [52:00, Pt.2]FAQsQ: Which CRM platform does Favour recommend?Flodesk. He has used it since 2019 (beta). It partners with Amazon SES for high deliverability, costs $19/month for unlimited subscribers, and offers Magic Links for auto-segmentation.Q: What other platforms were discussed?Alex uses HubSpot (B2B agency), Sandra uses MailerLite (small list, digital products), Melo uses MailChimp, and Ty uses Klaviyo. Each fits different business needs and budgets.Q: How do I improve my email open rate?Increase font size to 16, test subject lines on CapitalizeMyTitle.com, test deliverability on mail-tester.com, and segment your list so every email is relevant to the recipient.Q: How often should I send emails?Quality over quantity. Favour cut from 16/month to 4/month and saw click rates jump from 3.5% to 17.9%. Send fewer emails with more substance.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Blockchain is about to be new rails for everything, but traditional finance is still struggling to go fully on-chain. While tokenisation has become one of the most talked-about innovations in capital markets, much of today's activity remains confined to permissioned environments, private chains, and heavy KYC barriers that limit the true potential of decentralised infrastructure.This is where CRYMBO enters the conversation.Eyal Daskal and team are building technology designed to unlock compliant, scalable, and truly interoperable tokenised finance without sacrificing the core advantages of blockchain. As institutions explore tokenisation of assets and Web3 adoption accelerates, infrastructure that connects TradFi requirements with decentralised systems has never been more critical.On this show we discuss: - Eyal's journey into Web3 - The founding vision behind CRYMBO, the market need, and the core mission driving its technology roadmap- The issue with TradFi tokenising assets on Blockchains today, and why no one is talking about the on-chain compliance issue- Live demo of the CRYMBO solution and how their customers are using the solution today- What more is needed in 2026 to see mainstream adoption of Blockchain, tokenisation and digital assets
619 Million Podcast Listeners vs. 619 Million Pinterest Users: The Content Overlap Nobody Sees.

Understand what Podcast Listeners Are Doing, Where Pinterest Users Are Planning: Why That Changes Everything. AI + Pinterest + Podcasting = The Revenue Framework for Business Owners.We had a section in this episode discussing From Sourdough to Strategy: How Pinterest Search Reveals Your Next Customer and many more monetization insights for podcast listeners, hosts, and Pinterest business owners.Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS and co-host Jon Muranko break down a striking discovery: there are 619.2 million global podcast listeners and 619 million Pinterest monthly active users, nearly identical audiences with completely different behaviors. Podcast listeners consume while doing (commuting, exercising, getting ready). Pinterest users consume while planning (buying, building, deciding). This episode explores how business owners can bridge both platforms using AI tools like Claude to reverse-engineer revenue outcomes, build Pinterest boards that mirror search intent, and time podcast publishing for maximum 24-hour download cycles.Book SEO Services?

The audiences are nearly identical in size but differ in behavior: listeners are doing, pinners are planning.Top 3 places people listen to podcasts: getting ready (1st), commuting (2nd), and exercising (3rd). Knowing this shapes when and how you publish.Podcast publishing time affects your 24-hour download window. Post early in the cycle to maximize downloads before the daily clock resets.Pinterest search reveals buyer intent before the purchase. Typing "sourdough" surfaces "discard recipes" as the top suggestion, telling you exactly what URL to build on your website.Use AI as an accelerator, not a replacement. Jon's framework: define your outcome, reverse-engineer it with Claude or Gemini, then validate with a human strategist.Launch Pinterest ad campaigns on Tuesdays or Wednesdays to maximize a 14-day campaign window with the strongest start.Memorable Quotes"619.2 million podcast listeners versus 619 million Pinterest visitors. This is globally." — Favour Obasi-ike [00:05]"You can't plant a mango tree and expect pomegranates. It's what you give that you get." — Favour Obasi-ike [17:44]"AI is not gonna give you the magic key. It will help you accelerate. But if you and I are accelerating the wrong direction, is that gonna help us?" — Jon Muranko [08:25]"Write down your ideas on a physical piece of paper. Takeaways at the top, goals in the middle, actions at the bottom. Then process it through Claude." — Jon Muranko [37:19]"If you're not the one doing it, at least know what you're paying for. That in itself is enough gold to make a better decision." — Favour Obasi-ike [33:39]FAQsQ: Why compare podcast listeners to Pinterest users? A: Both audiences total 619 million globally. Podcast listeners are active (commuting, exercising), while Pinterest users are planning purchases. Bridging both platforms lets you reach the same audience at two different decision stages.Q: How does podcast publishing time affect downloads? A: Podcasts operate on a 24-hour download cycle. Publishing early in that window gives your episode the full day to accumulate downloads, rather than posting late and getting only one hour of traction.Q: How can AI help with Pinterest strategy? A: Use Claude or Gemini to reverse-engineer your revenue goal into a Pinterest content plan, but always validate outputs with human expertise and fact-checking.Q: When should I launch Pinterest ad campaigns? A: Tuesdays and Wednesdays are optimal launch days, giving your 14-day campaign a strong start within the weekly cycle.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Pinterest Playbook for Business Growth is here!Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS, host of the We Don't PLAY!™️ Podcast and Pinterest-certified SEO strategist, leads a live Clubhouse session breaking down the difference between Pinterest marketing (organic) and Pinterest advertising (paid).Joined by John, Dr. Cynthia, and Ramyar, Favour shares real client case studies, including one that jumped from 54M to 154M Google image impressions in three months using Pinterest.He reveals why Pinterest is a visual search engine with 619 million monthly active users, 96% unbranded searches, and 3x higher shopping ad conversions.Key TakeawaysPinterest is a visual search engine, not social media. Users arrive early in their planning phase, making them high-intent buyers.96% of Pinterest searches are unbranded. Your content reaches people who have never heard of you but are searching for your solution.Pin shelf life crushes Instagram. A pin lasts 3.5 to 5 months; add a blog link and it extends to 24 months vs. Instagram's 72 hours.Pinterest indirectly boosts Google rankings. One client went from 54M to 154M Google image impressions in three months via Pinterest.Use Pinterest to A/B test creatives for free. Post five graphics organically for 14 days, then run paid ads only on the top performers.Separate personal and business accounts. Use your domain email for business to claim 100% content ownership via Pinterest's hub.Memorable Quotes"Pinterest is a visual search engine. Drop the P and it's interest. Pinterest has a taste bud of interest and keywords." — Favour Obasi-ike [18:34]"85% of weekly users purchase from pins, and 45% of US Pinterest households earn over $150K a year." — Favour Obasi-ike [27:14]"Pinterest is the least skipped platform for ads.

Pinterest advertising is paid: targeted ads by zip code, interest, and device for quick visibility.Q: How does Pinterest help my Google rankings?A: Your website images appear in Google Images and Bing Images via Pinterest, acting as a backlink and image traffic source that compounds domain authority.Q: Can I target locally on Pinterest?A: Yes. Pinterest allows ad targeting by zip code, making it powerful for local businesses.Q: What is the best way to test ad creatives cheaply?A: Post five creatives organically for 14 days, rank by impressions, then run paid A/B tests only on the top two winners.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Send a textTrust is the hidden price tag in luxury resale. If you can't prove what an item is, where it's been, and who stands behind the transaction, the whole circular economy slows down no matter how good the marketing looks. That's why we sit down with Nicole Reznic, founder and CEO of Mark3t and a professor of luxury marketing, to argue that trust in luxury resale is infrastructure, not a campaign. We get specific about what breaks online: the loss of in-person cues, the rise of “authentication theater,” and the pressure created when products like Birkin bags and luxury watches become investment assets. Nicole shares why Markets starts with the smallest unit of trust, an invitation-only community of resellers and vendors in Paris, then expands outward once real relationships and accountability are in place. We also unpack the three pillars behind her approach: an integrated marketplace that includes repair, shipping, insurance, authenticators and more; verifiable product history and provenance using blockchain; and an AI-supported reputational scoring system grounded in human connections. From GDPR and global data sovereignty to governance across cultures, we explore the real design tradeoffs between removing friction and protecting integrity. Nicole explains why community is the linchpin, how “trust trees” deter bad behavior, and what early signals show trust is improving before revenue or scale, including pull-driven demand and word of mouth. If you're building a marketplace, a luxury brand program, or any trust-sensitive platform, you'll leave with a sharper mental model for trust, reputation, and long-term loyalty.

Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS breaks down the critical difference between content marketing and context marketing for SEO. Using relatable analogies, from buying a home to purchasing an iPhone, Favour explains why content alone is not enough. Content is what you create; context is the meaning, story, and connection behind it. He introduces the WEBLAST acronym (Website, Email, Podcast, LinkedIn, Ads, AI, SEO) as a seven-pillar framework for building a competitive online presence and shares how AI tools can be trained with your brand voice to save time and drive real partnerships.Book SEO Services?

Content gets you seen. Context gets you understood, remembered, and chosen.SEO is intentional, not guesswork. Throwing random keywords no longer works. Structure, readability, and sentimental value drive rankings.Three pillars of context marketing: Readability (humans understand it), SEO (bots can crawl it), and sentimental value (it resonates emotionally).The WEBLAST framework: Website, Email, Podcast, LinkedIn, Ads, AI, and SEO, seven tools that, used together in a progressive cycle, produce measurable growth within 30 days.AI should be trained on your brand. Feed your intellectual property into AI to get responses that sound like you, not generic prompts.Pre-purchase vs. post-purchase context: Before the sale, show up everywhere (YouTube, Google, Pinterest). After the sale, deepen the relationship (email, Zoom, Slack).Memorable Quotes"SEO is intentional. It's not guesswork. We don't do that in 2024, and we're not doing that for 2025 either." — Favour Obasi-ike [03:45]"The website is the content. The pages are the context." — Favour Obasi-ike [07:09]"If I say 'my pleasure,' I don't have to say the brand name to tell you who I'm talking about. That's context." — Favour Obasi-ike [07:54]"Content is free right now. AI is going to give me that content. But context? That's what makes you different." — Favour Obasi-ike [44:05]"Feedback is the best currency." — Favour Obasi-ike [40:49]"You're not prompting ChatGPT, you're prompting yourself." — Favour Obasi-ike [32:36]FAQsQ: What is the difference between content marketing and context marketing?A: Content marketing is the material you produce, the blog, video, or post. Context marketing is the meaning, relevance, and story wrapped around that content so your audience truly understands and connects with your message.Q: Why is context more important than content for SEO?A: Search engines now prioritize user intent and experience. Context ensures your content is readable, emotionally resonant, and structured so both humans and bots can interpret it, which directly improves rankings.Q: What is the WEBLAST framework?A: WEBLAST stands for Website, Email, Podcast, LinkedIn, Ads, AI, and SEO. It is a seven-pillar system for building a strong, competitive online presence when used in a consistent, progressive cycle.Q: How can AI help with context marketing?A: By training AI with your brand's intellectual property, tone, and goals, it becomes a personalized assistant that drafts emails, proposals, and responses in your voice, saving significant time.From seo strategies to ai marketing techniques to pinterest seo to podcast monetization to email marketing for beginners to ai seo tools, this episode id for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For episode 688 of the BlockHash Podcast, host Brandon Zemp is joined by Viktor Ihnatiuk, Co-Founder and CEO of Utexo, a Bitcoin-native stablecoin settlement network backed by Tether. Utexo enables private, compliant USDT payments with fixed costs, powered by the Lightning Network and RGB.Viktor is a Bitcoin and Web3 engineer with over 12 years of experience building core infrastructure, protocol tooling, and privacy-preserving distributed systems.

Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS delivers a tutorial on why Pinterest is a search engine, not social media, and how to connect it with Google Search Console for SEO impact.Pinterest is the least skipped ad platform while YouTube is the most, and Pinterest ads cost two to thirty cents versus dollars elsewhere.He covers claiming your business account, how earned media works exclusively on Pinterest, and why a pin lives three to five months compared to an Instagram post's 19 to 72 hours. Favour shares a client case study where organic image impressions grew from 54.1 million to 154 million in three months with zero ad spend, with Pinterest ranking in the top three linking sites.The conversation covers MCP servers, Google's crawl budget drop from 15 to two megabytes, why 67 percent of searches result in zero clicks, and why GoDaddy is not scalable.Mark recommends WordPress, and Shira shares how evergreen content generates leads years after posting.Book SEO Services?

YouTube is the most — people pay to skip ads.""If you drop the P, it's interest. Pinterest is interest, literally.""You build a house on land you don't own." — Mark, on closed-source builders."Keep putting out your message, even when nobody's watching, because someone is." — Shira"67% of Google searches don't result in a click. That's a culture shift." — TunaFAQs AnsweredIs Pinterest social media?On the personal side, yes. On the business side, it is a visual search engine where you own 100% of your data through a claimed account.What is earned media?When someone saves your paid pin and revisits it later, you earn impressions without spending again — dividends on your ad spend.Why not GoDaddy?It lacks code injection, scalable pop-ups, and flexibility. WordPress is recommended for full ownership and SEO control.How long does Pinterest SEO take?It depends on domain authority and consistency — no fixed timeline, but articles linked to Pinterest accelerate results.Key TakeawaysClaim your website on Pinterest Business. Track Pinterest as a linking site in Google Search Console. Pins live 3–5 months versus hours on Instagram. 97% of Pinterest searches are unbranded. Own your site on WordPress. Evergreen content compounds and generates leads long after posting.KeywordsPinterest SEO, Google Search Console, earned media, Pinterest ads, visual search engine, domain authority, crawl budget, WordPress, claimed accounts, unbranded search, evergreen content, zero-click searches, SEO scorecard, MCP servers.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In this episode, I speak with Phil from Augur about why prediction markets still matter and why decentralization in crypto still matters even more. We unpack Augur's long history as one of the earliest projects in crypto, why it lost momentum during high-fee Ethereum days, and why the team believes now is the right time to return. Phil explains how Augur is rebuilding around a modular oracle, how prediction market resolution really works, and why security at the oracle layer is the real game.We also dive into Augur's new white paper, the idea of making truth profitable, and how their escalation game and algorithmic fork are designed to make manipulation expensive. This is a deep but important conversation for anyone building in Web3, following prediction markets, or thinking about the future of decentralized infrastructure.Key points00:01:00 — Augur's early historyAugus explains that Augur was one of the earliest crypto projects, the first ICO, and the first ERC20 token. He also shares how it helped bring prediction markets and decentralized oracles into crypto.00:02:00 — Why Augur lost momentumAugus talks about how DeFi summer and high Ethereum L1 gas fees made Augur harder to use, especially for smaller wagers.00:03:30 — What crypto got wrong about decentralizationWe discuss how many projects promised to decentralize later, but often never followed through. Augus explains why Augur's original design stood apart.00:04:30 — The revival of AugurAugus explains how leftover treasury funds were used to restart development and how the new foundation was formed in 2025 to continue Augur's mission.00:06:30 — What prediction market users are really betting onAugus explains that users are not only betting on an outcome. They are also trusting how that outcome will be resolved.00:08:30 — Why resolution design mattersWe break down why trusting a multisig or centralized team becomes risky when prediction markets get large.00:09:30 — Augur's oracle designAugus explains that Augur's core innovation is a decentralized oracle that allows open participation in market resolution.00:12:00 — Making truth profitableAugus explains Augur's core design principle: align incentives so honest participants make money by supporting the truth.00:15:30 — The limit of escalation gamesAugus explains that escalation alone is not enough because a very large attacker could still outspend everyone else.00:16:00 — Augur's algorithmic forkAugus introduces Augur's key innovation: an algorithmic fork that forces dishonest attackers into the wrong universe.00:17:00 — How the fork works in practiceAugus explains how REP holders migrate into the universe they believe will retain economic value, which pushes honest users toward the truthful outcome.00:19:30 — How attackers lose moneyWe discuss how attackers may win a specific market but still lose overall because their tokens become worthless in the false universe.00:21:15 — How Augur makes moneySam asks about the business model, and Augus explains that Augur is not run for profit. Fees stay inside the protocol to pay for research and participation.00:24:00 — The next 12 months for AugurAugus shares that Augur is separating the oracle from the prediction market front end and focusing on oracle-as-a-service.00:26:00 — What Augur is looking forAugus says they are not fundraising. Instead, they want strong developers, aligned talent, and partnerships with prediction market platforms.Connect with Augurhttps://augur.net/ https://augur.net/blog/the-augur-lituus-whitepaper/https://x.com/AugurProjectDisclaimerNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.It would mean a lot if you can leave a review of this podcast on ApplePodcasts or Spotify and share this podcast with a friend.Be a guest on the podcast or contact us - https://www.web3pod.xyz/

Walker sits down with Paul Keating from Primal to talk about where Nostr is three years after Nostrica, why adoption has been slower than the early hype suggested, and why that may have been a good thing. They explore Primal's vision, creator onboarding, Bitcoin zaps as a native internet business model, circular Bitcoin economies like Bitcoin Jungle, the coming wave of Nostr apps that hide the protocol from end users, and why human-first, sovereignty-preserving social tools matter more than ever in an age of AI slop, algorithmic addiction, and centralized digital identity. Key topics discussed How Nostr has matured since Nostrica and why the ecosystem is stronger now than during the first hype wave Primal's roadmap, including polls, better creator tooling, smoother onboarding, and a broader vision for healthier social media Why Bitcoin zaps and Nostr create a fundamentally better creator economy than legacy platforms or “Web3” token schemes The real-world circular Bitcoin economy in Bitcoin Jungle and what it shows about living on a Bitcoin standard Why Nostr may become increasingly important as AI-generated slop, censorship, surveillance, and centralized identity systems accelerate DiVine vs AI Slop: Using proof-of-human posting to fight the rise of AI-generated content online.

Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS redefines profitable SEO as more than just rankings — it is profit multiplied by time. He introduces the concept of a foundational evergreen operating system: being where people are, staying ever-ready, and building connections that compound. The episode covers the SEO quadrant and its four pillars, why your contact database is your most valuable SEO asset, and how first-party data from email lists outperforms second-party data from platforms like LinkedIn, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts. Jonathan shares how NewsBreak and Medium drive backlinks and high domain authority, while Dr. Martin highlights the BlackNews.com story — a site built in 1999 on pure HTML that became the top black news site in the world because Google could easily crawl it. Favour performs a live Semrush audit, explains authority scores, and breaks down how commercial-intent articles like "top 10" lists build domain dominance the way Yelp does. The conversation also covers the new FTC rule on fake reviews, why your website must be the cornerstone of all marketing, and how SEO is ultimately about being the person of remembrance.Book SEO Services?

He explains how local SEO works through the formula of product/service plus location, then breaks down the technical backbone — sitemaps, robots.txt, and no-index tags — revealing how one misconfigured tag can make an entire website invisible to Google.

Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS breaks down the SEO difference between podcast downloads and unique listeners — two metrics every podcaster must understand. A download is triggered after just 45 seconds of listening, while a unique listener represents someone who returns to engage with your content repeatedly, much like a returning website visitor. Favour connects these metrics to podcast SEO, keyword density, IAB certification, and long-term monetization. He reveals how transcripts convert speech into indexable text that fuels Google rankings and why every episode acts as a keyword bank. Celese Williams joins with questions on podcast ranking and the SEO-podcasting connection. The episode also covers the industry's explosive growth — valued at $38–50 billion, projected to reach $131 billion by 2030 — and the milestone of podcasting overtaking radio in consumption.Book SEO Services?
