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.

    Will Airbnb survive Coronavirus? | Sidebean

    Will Airbnb survive Coronavirus? This video was sponsored by Skillshare. 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?

You may have heard the argument that this company was meant to be what Netflix is today. But it may not be all that simple. So, let's talk about Blockbuster, the movie rental giant that dominated the market and delivered home entertainment to virtually everybody in the US during a couple of decades, reaching its pinnacle in the late 1990s; and then succumbed to the changes that the new millennium brought.

How much do you plan to charge for your product? How much do you expect you'll pay to acquire a customer? How much time do you need to finish development, and how much will those salaries cost? The sooner you know how much extra cash you'll have, the sooner you can deploy it, and the sooner you can yield results, i.e., multiply it. In the startup world, weeks can make a world of difference. So the model that we use at Slidebean, the model that made us profitable, we are making it available to the world as a free download.

    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?
