The “Google Knows Best” Fallacy

Ryan LawJan 21

The way most companies approach content marketing is predicated on the unspoken idea that Google knows best. For any keyword, they search through results page after results page to work out what Google “wants” them to write. They create content that aggregates tactics and ideas from the top-ranking content.

The most important question of your life:

What should you be working on? Startups? Writing?

This is how I figured it out.

100k. I’m blown away. Mostly from just tweeting basic social media marketing principles and my thoughts on life.

Put yourself out there. The risk to reward is in your favor.

If your offering isn't better than the alternatives, for any segment of the market - no marketing magic will fix your growth problems.

Don’t fuck with the money, fam. Just don’t do it.

When people do work for you, pay them what they’re owed. It’s not only ethical, it builds your reputation as a good collaborator.

I use “9 left” as a subject line every time.

Don’t even A/B test.

My emails are making me 6 figures every time I press send now.

YES! There it is. Such a relief to get back to the *real scandals* that matter.

I also love that buried 3/4 of the way down is a note about the Patek Philippes that the previous President wore, though no mention of their price (which is 3-10X this one).

Underrated Opportunity in B2B:

Influencer marketing.

So many execs think that influencer marketing only works for selling diet teas and keto cookies. In reality, the same efforts can be applied and leveraged in B2B.

My prediction: By 2025... B2B brands will wake up.

It's easy to find reasons not to be kind to people. I know I'm guilty of this. But I feel better when I'm kind, and others feel better when I'm kind, so being unkind doesn't really make any sense on any level.

When your rev's/profits suck fight the urge to use another metric (like followers/newsletter #'s/pipeline) to make you feel better about the brutal realities of your biz. The less time you are disillusioned about your current situation the quicker you can get out of it.

Easy thing that will make you happier: thank or compliment every writer, podcaster, video producer, photographer, or creator you enjoy, every time you consume their work.

No matter their platform they’re dying for it. It’s valuable data + motivation. And YOU will feel great.
