Reach Your Audience Without Paid Ads

Episode 424

Tuesday, September 27, 2022 • Duration 51:16

Do you feel like you're burning money at the altar of Facebook while Zuckerberg builds a VR empire? Are you earning break even ROAS, and hoping ad prices don't rise any further?

If you are, that's not uncommon.

In August, I was at Ecommerce Day in LA, and heard their keynote speaker say "Facebook and Google's entire business model is to take credit of sales that were already going to happen."

And then he convinced me that was true.

Joining us today with some unconventional wisdom on building a better marketing plan for your brand is Rand Fishkin.

Rand Fishkin is cofounder and CEO of SparkToro, makers of fine audience research software.

Rand's Bio: In 2018, Rand started SparkToro with Casey Henry and published, with Penguin/Random House, Lost and Founder: A Painfully Honest Field Guide to the Startup World. Rand previously co-contributed to two books: Art of SEO, and Inbound Marketing & SEO.

He is, however, most proud of his prominent appearances in Geraldine’s first book, All Over the Place. Geraldine and Rand are also small investors in TinySeed Accelerator, LegUp, TeamSportz, Techstars Seattle and Backstage Capital.
