I can't remember where I read it but a quote I saw years ago still sticks with me: "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent. It is the one that is most adaptable to change". I think it's a misquote from Darwin but I'd say it's pretty accurate for us a species. Personally I think it applies here too.
Love you Ricky!! We need a strong, honest role model like you in the SEO industry. No shortcuts. Just honest hard work, like your entire UA-cam channel. Thanks for the pep talk!! Needed this today.
Thank you for the video. That was motivating. I am totally new in this field but in the past one year tried my best to put my subject knowledge in an educational blogger site. Even though I get 50- 80 views and 2-3 impressions I was serious about continuing as I was enjoying my work. But after all these happenings, I was demotivated and didn't work on it last week. But I think I should continue, cause the feeling of happiness always supports success. We should always go with our heart. Thankyou sir.
Thanks for addressing what matters...the reality. Thanks for the encouragement. Google was tired on how the internet was saturated with old informations ( blog post ). So he wipes it off and said i think it's time to create a renewed searched engine. Blogging is not over, we just need new information, new scopes, new perspectives, new data, new searched results for a new search era. Go back, start that blog niche all over again but now with new perspectives. Blogging is not dead, it only needs new perspectives content for a new search engine. Thanks....
Ricky, you hit the nail on the head and while we sometimes drown in the purely technical, it is necessary to get into your helicopter to look at the work you do from that perspective. Say, oversee the bigger picture. It is purifying and meaningful. So thank you for your inspiring words.
I'm focusing the 9-5 until I (or you!) figure out how to build a great business in the new, post-AI paradigm. Personally, I don't think blogs based around affiliate marketing will be part of that... because people are going to get their answers from their AI, rather than go to google and then trawl through the results. It's the most abrupt end to the most scammy industry. Great video Ricky. And if anyone can figure out how to create value in the new landscape, it's you. Thanks.
spot on. new search engines will emerge that are "seriously" dynamic, maybe free, maybe AI-SW-pack (search+++), I think we are on a "tipping-edge", the Cat and the Bag, are in different directions, and the Cats had Kittens, and they don't like Lazers.
im not quitting, im just 20 and I got nothing to lose, my main site is 60% down but I'm happy cause I wasn't working as much i used to before tat started giving me money, there was no motivation, now its time to get back, get out of the comfort zone and create something awesome....
Just by watching the free content of this channel, I managed to create a blog a few years ago that earned up to 4k per month. Nowadays it's gone down to $100 per month (slowly but steadily died during the last 2 years). I can't thank Jim and Ricky enough... I literally owe them tens of thousands of dollars, so I really feel for what Ricky must be going through right now with the current shift in SEO. Wish you guys all the best in finding new ways to teach these changes! I miss the "old" SEO days... but they're not coming back.
Wish i had a friend like to tell me this. Im just to bitter and ended up with no friends and do seo. Thank you for being you, income school team. I hope you all stay safe and well, and find a way.
You can make a video about how us bloggers can use reddit to drive traffic to the blog itself. I dont know how to use reddit. And a focused video on reddit for bloggers, will be really awesome.
I've been blogging since 2008 so I've seen everyone say "blogging is dead" so many times. Many just don't want to change and adapt and for them, it does die but those that watch the changes and find ways to adapt with them are the ones that are still out there.
Blogging is dead btw lol. If someone says it is not dead they would either be selling courses, coaching or so called SEO gurus, because that's how they can make money no other ways. But there are very few genuine people like Authority Hackers agrees with it.
I'm worrying about getting my produce to market this spring. I'm worried I won't make enough monry farming and ned to take on more side jovs. I'm worried about working away from home so much that I miss my daughters' childhoods. What am I doing about it? I made a video course that made me a little money. I started teaching classes at my farm on weekends. That helped. I am selling more of my soil amendment products locally. If I can get my SEO and traffic up again, I can sell my courses and products much more efficiently. I don't want to continue living as I was before. I will continue to make this dream a reality. I lost most add revenue and affiliate earnings, but I'm already replacing a good part of it with in-person classes. I'm a martisl artist in several disciplines. Years before I earned my first black belt, an old timer told me something that I'll always remember. He said " the only difference between a black belt and a white belt is that a person with a black belt didn't quit. I often say something similar: "Failure is not a lack of success but a lack of perseverance".
Our traffic keeps on climbing... I suspect it's because we're focused on niche domination and actual helpful content. We don't publish unless it's absolutely the best thing out there and unless it's been semantically optimized. We don't use AI. We don't play games. We don't buy links. We just play to win.
Yes. Blogging is just a fraction of what’s taught in Project 24. We have members having success still using what we teach because they’re doing more than just write content. It’s also a fantastic community where we’re working together to figure out which methods are working best. It’s easier to do that when you’re in a community than when you’re alone.
No success is guaranteed with a course. Why would you waste money and resources on a course when all the information and tips you need are readily available online? Experiment with trial and error and double down on what works best for you. There's no one-size-fits-all approach
It does ... I'd been following P24 for a long time without the success others were seeing, NOW I'm seeing it! Just focus on the cardinal rule - create valuable content! The rest is mechanics.
Thanks for the optimism. Those who grind get there. The goal post always moves though. What about the thought that maybe, somehow, the Google monopoly will break up or crumble? I believe there are active lawsuits against them. Tough to depend heavily on such a large, obtuse entity. Be nice to see some competition.
Let's have some success stories. Lots of Income School students are doing well. Or let's have another interview with Kyle Roof or Jim Harmer...or Matt Diggity!
Sage advice Ricky.....just like the armed forces, you just have to keep putting one boot in front of the other! I'm beginning to hear small anecdotal info that Google haven't ruled out that smaller niche sites could recover at some stage in the future. Just gotta keep adding good content. Gaz.
Awesome! Thanks Ricky, I knew as soon as you talked about the reality of hard work and pushing through difficulty, that the whiners would pop up in the comments! 😂 proverbs 22:13 “The sluggard says , “There is a Lion outside! I shall be killed in the streets”.
I am watching your videos for last four years. A bit of disappointment can be read in current, comparing your powerful ones years back. The pandemic ended in 2 years. When will the ai pandemic end, or when will we develop a vaccine. Hope for the best
There is a possibility no one considers: Google adjusting the actual update. Since now evey update was a move in the right direction, cleaning out the spam etc... But his one was a fail. They are certainly aware of it, and i guess it will be corrected (to an extent). There is little logic behind it, i have sites that still work pretty well, others have lost traffic, even though they have been builtusing the same method, with original research, pictures etc... Yes, changes are coming with AI in mid-term, but the update was bad. Everyone in the SEO community is a bit lost,includong Ricky / Income School, so a little motivationnal video isnt that bad of an idea, instead of trying to explain what cant be explained :)
i resisted ai for about two years, but i'm in the process of optimizing my computer for creating ai video, particularly scripted comedy. doing scripted productions has always been a dream. i additionally have viable plans to do irl productions, ai productions are a stepping stone. some channels have been launched already
Very few talk about how to create content or many do except they are the black method of content. If cheaters get cut out then good I do not feel sorry for these cheaters.
Yeah, most people are less optimistic than me. But then again, most people are less successful in business than me. I wonder if those two things correlate? Hint: they do!
@@heymrcody it wasn’t a negative comment, I’m saying if project 24 does bottom out and the membership slows, Ricky has the talents to become successful again. I’ve been around internet marketing since 2005 and know a decent marketer when I see one, and Ricky is just that, something which can’t be said for the majority. Even with my level of experience, I’ve learned from Jim and Ricky.
I like u bro, u put a brave face,,,, BUT to keep urself afloat u r putting ppl in a situation where ther is EXTREME UNCERTAINTY, even after 4yrs of putting in hard work, u donot know whetther u will be in the GAME. What if other social networks make changes??? U R trying to teach ppl to control the UNCONTROLABLE. Wont it be better to focus money and energy on things where u hv some control ATLEAST
Like what? please share your examples of things *you would do* that you have "control over". The more value and opportunity in an action, the harder it tends to be. Put another way, investment returns and risk are correlated. Ricky said very clearly, it's hard (has risk) and if you don't wanna do it, that's OK. And there are lots of other ways to earn a paycheck or build a business. But control is an illusion. In most cases (not just building a business) we have very little control. There are no shortcuts and there is always risk. But maybe I'm wrong. So please, bro, please tell us what you would do which offers so much more control and predictability?
I was also wondering what we can control other than how we respond. 10 years ago Ricky graduated with honors from the University of North Carolina with honors with his MBA. He also had a chemical engineering degree. Literally the day after graduation the company he worked for laid him off despite the fact that they had sponsored the MBA. Control is an illusion. Ricky built a business so he could actually have more control over his life. Things happen. The game changes. What are we going to do? That's the point.
@@j_yh I've decided to shift from SEO to monetize my website to selling ad space in my digital magazine. Let's say I manage to get businesses to buy ad space and they're signed to yearly contracts. There's always a chance that a few of those businesses decide not to renew their contract to advertise in my magazine. That leaves me in a situation of having to acquire new clients. In the SEO game, if an algorithm update destroys my traffic, I see that as a far harder obstacle to work through based off of what I've seen happen to other people. It's not something that can be done quickly, especially since SEO is a long game. At least with selling ad space, you can negotiate smaller ad prices to businesses to recoup the loss of a client. Is it more controllable than SEO? No, but it's easier to work through setbacks than playing Google's algorithm games which is set up for you to lose.
Google has reminded us of what we already knew... that we should never be single sourced on anything. I won't be too hard. We all treated Google as the gateway and put it in that position. However understandable, it was a mistake. I still believe absolutely that our lives are going online both socially and economically. The landscape is changing but the fundamental trend isn't going away.
What is this? A motivational video on an internet marketing channel? You say, create something of value. So, whatever we were doing so far was of no value? When people come to your channel, they expect actionable advice from an engineer, not motivational speech. For that there are better people out there.
So by your logic you shouldn’t do anything unless you’re the absolute best at it… I guess we should all go home and just give up on life. Saying you need to focus on user experience and value doesn’t mean that what you’ve done has no value. That’s very poor logic. That’s like saying that since lasagna isn’t one of my top 10 favorite foods I HATE it. Engineers can be motivating too. They can be a lot of things. My chemistry classes certainly didn’t teach me SEO… And based on many comments here, this video was sorely needed by many.
@krod16 not sure when or why you started trolling me. That’s disappointing. Just because a video wasn’t what you wanted or needed doesn’t mean it’s fluff. Lots of people found this video very helpful. Therefore, calling it fluff is not a fact. It’s, by definition, an opinion. 🙄
Nope. You’re just piling on when other people say negative things. The OP called it fluff, stating an opinion. You implied his statement was a fact. Add that to the other comments you’re choosing to pile onto and that amounts to trolling. I’d hoped for better from you.
I can't remember where I read it but a quote I saw years ago still sticks with me: "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent.

Just because a video wasn’t what you wanted or needed doesn’t mean it’s fluff. Lots of people found this video very helpful. Therefore, calling it fluff is not a fact. It’s, by definition, an opinion. 🙄
@@IncomeSchool That's not me who called your content fluff.
Nope. You’re just piling on when other people say negative things. The OP called it fluff, stating an opinion. You implied his statement was a fact.
Add that to the other comments you’re choosing to pile onto and that amounts to trolling. I’d hoped for better from you.
