In this episode, I'm sharing some brand NEW content -- straight from our updates on our Six-Figure Course Creator course that I'm working on right now.
It's all about the pros and cons of selling products on marketplace platforms like Etsy, Amazon, Skillshare, Udemy, etc.
We're big proponents of selling your products on your own platforms like Teachable (https://createandgo.com/recommends/teachable), Clickfunnels (https://createandgo.com/recommends/clickfunnels), Kajabi (https://createandgo.com/recommends/kajabi), etc. But you can make really great money selling on marketplace platforms too.
It's just really important to have the right expectations in place when you sell on these types of platforms.
Episode Highlights
How my brother makes over $20k/month selling courses on Udemy and Skillshare
Price and competition on marketplace platforms
Rules on self-promotion on marketplace platforms
How to get to page 1 of search results on marketplaces

Changes in the SEO Landscape: AI, EEAT, and More
We have something exciting to share with you today - our first ever VIDEO podcast!
You can watch the video on YouTube here. (https://youtu.be/VQI8JjoABZI)
As many of y'all know, we've been spending the last couple of months updating our blogging courses (https://createandgocourses.com/) - from scratch.
These updates feature us fully on camera for the first time. In honor of these content upgrades, I think it's only fitting that we finally record one of our podcast episodes on video too!
As I was thinking about these updates, I thought it would be great to get Noah back on the podcast to talk about some of the updates in the SEO world - ahead of our SEO course updates.
Consider it a little sneak peak of sorts.
The rise of AI writing tools (https://createandgo.com/ai-writing-tools) like Jasper (https://createandgo.com/recommends/jasper) (our favorite) has brought with it a need for change in the Google algorithm.
Now that everyone and their grandmother can write blog posts about any topic in the world, in a fraction of the time, Google needs to be even better at making sure helpful content stays at the top.
Their Helpful Content Update was designed to do just that with these two key components:
EEAT
making sure content is as helpful as possible
Sounds pretty obvious while also being pretty vague, right?
Watch or listen to our latest podcast episode to learn more about the helpful content update and what this means for the current and future SEO landscape.
Episode Highlights
Current changes in the SEO landscape
Using AI in your content and how it relates to SEO
Helpful Content Update: two key items to consider
EEAT: what's new

Transforming Motivation Into Discipline
Today’s topic is actually one that was requested by Greg. In the last episode, I mentioned at the end that if anyone had any topic suggestions that they wanted to share, please do so. You can comment below on this episode page and share your thoughts or suggestions!
At first, I wasn’t sure about this topic of motivation over discipline. My brain immediately went to “avoiding procrastination” and I think that’s a very high-level and over-discussed topic.
We all know to procrastinate less and put in more work, right?
I’m also a pretty disciplined person. I always have been. So my first thoughts were also that maybe I'm not the person to help here when it comes easily to me. But then I realized... Wait, it's not always easy for me.
So, I thought about how I feel when I'm struggling with discipline. What DO I feel and WHY do I feel it? What’s hindering my discipline?
Maybe this is different for everyone, but I do think that what I'm sharing in this episode can help everyone in some way.
We're here today because motivation is the easy part. It's easy to get motivated for a new diet, to learn a new language, or to even start a business.
What's not so easy is turning that motivation into discipline to follow through on your desires and intentions. Sure, having a plan helps tremendously. But it's more than that.
That's what we're discussing in today's episode.
Episode Highlights
Motivation for starting something new
Why that motivation wanes
How to turn motivation into discipline
Why getting fired up for your business is so important
