This crushes the normal keyword research methodology I've been using since forever. This is a proper strategy, instead of just searching for keywords to create content around. Makes so much sense. Thanks!
Wes, your videos have absolutely changed my business and I’ve only watched your free videos! Thank you so much! I’ve seen such a huge increase in website traffic and conversion. I keep looking up more and more videos because you are truly sharing gold. Thank you!
Love the idea that content marketing isn't a part of the funnel... it IS the funnel. Especially in business. You'll get folks that will watch your content who are just discovering you, folks who know you, folks who are customers, and even folks who are former customers.
Thank you for the simplified explanation. People go through university and this is what they teach them, including me unfortunately. Paying all that money to school is really a big waste unless you do it for other valuable subjects.
Love the content! Always super helpful. Would you consider adding chapters to your videos? That would make it super easy to return to your videos and search out advice that I want to go over again.

Wes always has genius videos! Thank you so much WES! I am the faculty head of an Online University and All your videos has positively impacted and provided me and my team with the kind of advice and direction we did not have previously! You're the most authentic and sincere and well directed with everything that you share with the world! Much, much appreciated WES!
This is such an amazing video, Wes! Thank you so much for sharing all these valuable tips with us! Your videos actually inspired me to start doing my own UA-cam Channel, it is a long way to go but I'm really excited about it!
I was stuck in the email marketing stuff but the ideas you gave here are pretty easy to carry out because that can easily be done manually with a data base that we build. Tx m8 for this teachings
I've trusted you before, and it's worked out. So, I'm seriously thinking about expanding into content marketing. It's a LOT of creation of material that is not product. I'm an author/musician and I create and sell books of musical arrangements. My successful action so far has been to put my effort into producing books, and then advertise them on the (extremely well known) platform where they are sold: at the exact point at which people are searching for books like those I create and sell. That platform does a killer job of getting my titles in front of the people who are searching for what I create. It costs me about $500 to net $1K in royalties. I have felt this is a good return on advertising investment. I know that without advertising, I'd be making ZERO sales, so I've been satisfied with the ratio, and my marketing has been limited to setting up advertising campaigns (with the selling platform) that target key search words and creating good copy for my product description. I'm at the point where I would love to (and need to) increase my sales, but I am a sole proprietor, 70 years old, and I have to wonder if my time will be well spent creating marketing and social media content, or if I should keep concentrating on creating BOOKS, giving my customers what they are willing to pay for.
Wes, your videos are AWESOME and give us just what we need. Thank you so much for your help;) Quick question. I have a local business and I am noticing your videos don't show the city like so many of the others show. EX in City, State all over the home page why?
Thank you Ileana1 That's mostly just because I beleive in writing for persuasion first and foremost, SEO second. If you're a local business, you definitely want to include your locality in multiple places on your page, but easy does it. Plus there are tons of service businesses out there that aren't tied to any particular location, so I don't usually go there other than in my local-SEO videos.
Hi Wes, love your vids as an super ambitious online entrepeneur from the other side of the ocean, in The Netherlands. Your vibe is so lovely and very pleasent to listen to it. Thanks on behalve our cute little country for all your tips and good vibes! :) Warm greetings, Bob
Great stuff. Thanks for leaning into the whole UA-cam marketing thing. Do you recommend any platforms that could help small business with video creation?
Content marketing is a powerful way to attract and engage audiences, build relationships with potential customers, and establish yourself as a thought leader in your industry. By following the tips above, you can win at content marketing in 2023. Thanks for sharing your insights!
Love your content Wes and it has inspired me to get my journey started. My question is, what is the easiest app / program for fast editing for UA-cam videos? That's where I'm puzzled at... Easiest, fastest or free software? Do you have a video about this??? Big thanks for all you share!!!
Thx so much Claudia! I actually have an editor so I don't do it myself. But I know tools like descript make it easy to jsut edit videos like you're editing a text doc which is nice.
Some podcasts I listen to are actually on video form on UA-cam so can I extract the audio from my long form UA-cam videos into Podcast apps sorry I don’t know how they work. I haven’t use that software yet. Or should they be different contents so should the UA-cam videos and the podcast be completely separate?
Hey! unfortunately I don't do any full project work anymore... but if you wanted a consult call where we can go over what I'd recommend for you, you can schedule that here: wesmcdowell.com/private-coaching-consultations/
. Hello Wes, I purchased your $500 training course on website developmen about a month ago. . My question regarding this particular video since it was made in 2023, if it's even still relevant since you linked it to one that you may just 5 months ago talking about how AI has made social media marketing and blogging a waste of time?
Hi! Yea I believe UA-cam’s the only real, sustainable marketing strategy right now. In the sense that it’s by far the best use of your time and energy.

Anti-marketing is a good way to say it. Boomerang marketing is another name, give give give and it will come back.
