The creator economy has been steadily growing for the past few years and it shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. While 68% of global creators do it part-time, in the long term, more creators are predicted to sign up for content creation to catalyse their careers and build their personal brands — which will in turn help them land better jobs or better freelance projects.

Last month, Facebook's stock value fell by 26% because of disappointing results in the last quarter. As a result, the company's total valuation dropped by $250 billion. While some contribute the drop in Facebook's revenue to increased competition from TikTok and the uncertain future of Facebook's metaverse, the real reason might be something else. But the fact remains that a lot of online advertisers are ditching Facebook and spending their advertising dollars elsewhere. Tune in to this episode to find out why online advertisers and small businesses are losing faith in Facebook's ability to target their customers.

Is the audio-based social media app Clubhouse a game-changing product or just a feature masquerading as a product? In my opinion, it's the latter. And in this episode, I'll tell you why I think Clubhouse is a feature and not the revolutionary product marketers are claiming it to be.

In this episode, I'll be joined by my wife, Raksha Shenoy, who recently started her own venture — Nummy Makhana, a startup that aims at promoting guilt-free and healthy snacking.
If you've been a listener of this podcast, you'll remember Raksha from some of the older episodes. The idea behind this episode is to question entrepreneurs about their existing business model. We'd like to ask them whether they just want to be a money-making enterprise or make a social impact while growing their business.
Raksha has her unique perspective on building a socially conscious brand and in this episode, she tells us what it means to be a socially conscious startup and how you can move in this direction.

Do you run a digital marketing agency or offer SEO services to your clients? Then I highly recommended that you have a set of questions to evaluate the clients you choose to work with.
But why is this important? Why should you ask questions? Shouldn't it be the other way around?
Having an SEO questionnaire is important because this information will reveal to you whether the new business coming your way is right for you and also provide you with crucial insights that can help you craft a better strategy for your clients.
Since starting my digital marketing agency, Startup Cafe Digital, in 2015, I’ve worked with businesses of all sizes. The SEO work that I did with them increased their search visibility and improved conversions.
And the 20 questions that I'm going to share in this episode helped me gain a deeper understanding of their business, industry, and most importantly, their expectations with SEO.
Tune in to find out the 20 most critical questions to ask your SEO clients before they get on board.

I want you to picture this scenario: You've just published a great blog post. It's doing well on social media, your subscribers are loving it, and you've optimized it to make sure it ranks well on Google.
If you’ve done all of these things, then your recently published blog post will generate enough traction and traffic.
So what do you do after you're done publishing and promoting the post? Do you immediately start working on a new article? But you can't just leave the old post behind? After all, it's one of the best articles you've published on your site.
Now you can do one of two things: you can wait for your article to slowly start ranking higher in search results. But that's in the long run and you'll need to spend some time generating relevant backlinks for the article.
Or, you can simply repurpose your content and reach a whole new audience for your awesome blog post. Repurposing content is the practice of finding new ways to recycle your blog posts or any piece of content to amplify their reach.
In this episode, I'll reveal 12 effective ways to repurpose your content.

Back in October 2020, Google released a "home movie" on their YouTube channel to show how Google search works. It's a 58-minute documentary that goes into detail about how Google search works and offers an insight into what goes on behind the scenes at Google.

In this special episode of Marketing Mantra, I'll be joined by Daniel Daines-Hutt from AmpMyContent (https://www.ampmycontent.com). This is his second time on the show — if you're a regular listener of this podcast, you'll remember Daniel from Ep. #28 - The Art of Paid Content Promotion, where he shared some really cool Facebook advertising and copywriting hacks.
If you're not familiar with Daniel's work, here's what you should know: He is a self-confessed marketing nerd who teaches people how to get more traffic and engagement for their existing content. His guide to paid content promotion was ranked among the Top 10 content of all time on Inbound.org (now Growth.org) and Growth Hackers. His content has also been shared or referenced by online marketing thought leaders like Neil Patel, Ryan Deiss, Sujan Patel, Sean Ellis, and Glen Allsopp.
Since Dan's last appearance on this show, Facebook as an advertising platform has gone through several changes. Because of these changes, advertisers have had to tweak their strategies to get a better ROI for their ads on Facebook. In this episode, Dan sheds light on the steps he took to make sure his ads performed well on Facebook consistently and how you can do the same. He also shares with us how his business survived and thrived during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
Hope you find this episode useful.

Google products have faced intense criticism in the last few years and their search engine has not been spared. Among the criticisms, the most troubling ones are invasion of privacy and creating a "filter bubble."
With a 87.35% market share of global searches, it's not easy to compete with Google and there are very few companies that are currently competing with Google in the search engine space. So you may be thinking, "What's the alternative to Google?" That's the question I'll attempt to answer in this episode by revealing the 3 best search alternatives to Google. And don't worry, my list won't feature Bing.
I know it's ludicrous to suggest replacing Google as the default search engine, like a few top SEOs have done, but you can use any of these 3 alternative search engines as a secondary tool to browse the web.
Tune in to learn about the 3 best search engine alternatives to Google.
