The backbone of our company success has been Google, and by extension, YouTube. In this video, I am going to talk about what we did to kickstart our ranking in Google search, how much money we have spent doing it, and how much money we spend today. Finally, we'll help you figure out if or when your company should attempt to do content marketing. #slidebean #startups #contentmarketing 00:00 - Introduction 1:25 - Early stages 1:58 - Scale 3:33 - The pivot 5:08 - Nothing good ever lasts 6:44 - The content boost 8:42 - YouTube 9:52 - Why shouldn’t you do content marketing ---- How to grow a small business: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2rpBhMY0ys Caya’s consulting hours: https://slidebean.com/caya Follow Caya: https://twitter.com/cayahere and https://instagram.com/caya_here Our website gets around 250,000 organic visits per month. I'm excluding all paid and all social media traffic from that number; those are visits to our website that came from somebody looking for an answer in Google and stumbling upon our content. Also, our YouTube channel is getting close to 500,000 monthly organic views. Since we started these efforts, the traffic driven to our products has generated over $2.5MM in sales! Insane. So the potential when focusing on Google or Youtube content marketing is enormous. We are still a small brand, considering, but we get millions and millions of brand impressions every year, you could say 'for free,' thanks to our presence in Google. But this did not come easy, or cheap. It took us years to develop it.

The first 1000 people who click the link will get 2 free months of Skillshare Premium: https://skl.sh/slidebeanstartups3 Today, we talk about traveling. Before all of this happened, chances are we used Airbnb to find a place to stay, and we discovered that some of those options were great and others, well, not so much. But, regardless of personal experiences, one thing is certain. Airbnb revolutionized how we traveled. The past years, however, have brought criticism and backlash, from local and national governments alike. This latest crisis has only aided in putting the company to the test. Layoffs, controversial refunds, and a shaky IPO, Airbnb is going through turbulent times. Will it come out on top?

    Amazon Fire Phone: a $170 million flop | Sidebean

    Amazon Fire Phone: a $170 million flop - Get the Slidebean Agency team to design your slides ► https://slidebean.com/agency - Join our Discord ► https://slidebean.com/youtube#discord - Book office hours with Caya ► https://slidebean.com/caya ► This video was brought to you by Trends: https://trends.co/deal We have talked about phone companies in the past. Remember those episodes about Blackberry or Motorola, companies who once were at the very top of the industry and somehow ended up falling in battle. Today, we will not exactly talk about a phone company but about a phone, yeah, a particular one. A phone that, for better or worse, had everyone's attention just by existing, just because it was created by one of the largest internet companies in the world: the Amazon Fire Phone Now, of course, Amazon is not a phone company, but what is it exactly? It's a huge store, and it's likely where you get a lot of your stuff online, even groceries in some locations, probably even more now that people may be spending more time at home. But Amazon also provides web services to clients like Netflix, NASA, or Slidebean. Wink. It's also a media streaming platform with its production studio for feature films and series, and it also acquired the largest video game streaming platform, Twitch, for around $1B, in 2014. But it also had its line of diapers. So, what kind of company Amazon is? How do all these things connect? It sounds like a brand that aims for global market domination somehow, and seemingly with the Fire Phone, they had high hopes to create a product that would unify it all into a worldwide, fresh brand. Something like Apple or Nike, but for everything. #Amazon #startups #Slidebean 0:00 - Intro 0:55 - Amazon Fire: What's Amazon? 2:06 - Amazon Fire: When and why 4:01 - Amazon Fire: The Jeff Bezos phone 5:43 - Amazon Fire: Dynamic perspective 7:02 - Amazon: A cool lifestyle brand?

    Segway: An overpriced mall cop ride | Sidebean

    Segway: An overpriced mall cop ride It was bound to happen, and it just happened. Last June, Segway's president, Ms. Judy Cai, announced that the company was utterly ceasing the Segway PT production, or as it was initially named, the Segway HT, for "Human Transporter." Some believed that it would revolutionize urban mobility, make the last-mile transportation more efficient, redesign cities, and other such high aspirations. But you know how this show usually goes. That glorified scooter that mall guards and tourists ended up rocking around some cities is officially on its road to extinction. What happened to Segway. #segway #startups #Slidebean 0:00 - Intro 1:36 - Segway: Reinventing the wheel 3:02 - Segway: An overblown leak 4:20 - Segway: A marvel of technology 5:34 - Segway: Is it safe? 6:49 - Segway: A consumer market of one Read the article: https://slidebean.com/blog/startups-segway?utm_source=youtube.com&utm_medium=content&utm_campaign=ba-content Follow Caya: https://twitter.com/cayahere and https://instagram.com/caya_here ---- - Join our Discord ► https://slidebean.com/youtube#discord - Book office hours with Caya ► https://slidebean.com/caya Let us improve your pitch deck: https://slidebean.com/pitch-deck-design?utm_source=youtube.com&utm_medium=video&utm_campai gn=video-content Turn on notifications for the podcast & rate it a 5-star for new episodes.

Yet in this atmosphere of growth and opportunity, many were affected when all of a sudden the game-streaming platform Mixer, owned by Microsoft, announced that it was shutting down, recently in June.
