Quartzsite Bullseye

What’s a Quartzsite Bullseye. Check out Quartzsite-Bullseye-Bob Davis Podcast 1146 for all the details.

But I’ll fill you in.

Content Creators

To begin with content creators thrive on active audiences that watch and listen to their content…

And subscribe.

Grateful

Above all we are grateful for the listens, views and subscriptions.

We’ll Take The Help

In short anything that can help our fledgling channels grow.

Active Audiences

Significantly every now and then we stumble onto a small and active demographic which for some unknown reason our content “was made for”.

Thousands Of Views

The result can often be tens of thousands of views and a boon to all the other platforms we’re on. This just happened to me and if you want to see the video click here.

This happened to me here in Quartzsite, Arizona this fall.

Phenomenon

So my code word for this phenomenon is “Quartzsite Bullseye”.

Gangbusters

On the other hand fleeting success suddenly changes to gangbusters.

Surprising the content creator.

The The Chase Begin

Hence he or she begins to chase something called an algorithm.

After that known as the carrot.

Painting Oneself Into A Corner

All of the sudden our content creator is sucked into painting himself into a corner…

In the final analysis, with the same content over and over.

Small Overall Audiences

Because that kind of content gets views, shares, likes and subscriptions.

All in all is this good for the content creator?

No Thank You

I’ll take the views.

But in the long term I refuse to fall into that trap.

Controversy In The Grand Canyon State

In detail I’m down here in Arizona.

Where in fact there is quite a controversy underway about a proposed fee increase of over 300 percent for seasonal fees to use Bureau Of Land Management Long Term Visitor Areas.

Comments

Furthermore as I watch this situation unfold let’s say I have fielded hundreds of comments as well, most of which haven’t been very enlightening.

By all means this is discussed in Quartzsite-Bullseye-Bob Davis Podcast 1146.

Nomad Life’s Deteriorating Condition

Afterward we’ll talk about the state of nomad life.

Define Marketing

Firstly the actual definition of marketing involves identifying a need in the market.

Secondly is developing a service or product that serves the needs you’ve identified.

To sum up marketing is taking a service or product to market.

Advertising

Thirdly getting the word out is advertising.

But most small business people think marketing is all those things.

Bad Ideas

These days there are a lot of bad ideas for ‘marketing’ your business in 2024.

Be Wary

In fact a small business owner has to be wary of ideas involving social media ‘marketing’.

YouTube

Take the case of a new idea prominent on YouTube.

Podcasts

Specifically the suggestion small businesses should do their own podcasts and put them on YouTube.

YouTube Will Find Audience

Because YouTube’s algorithms have been changed to ‘find an audience’ for your podcast.

So They Say

All in all a great idea.

Right?

What Makes A Business Successful?

On the other hand you might already have a successful business.

Because you’ve figured out how to super serve that need you identified when you set up the business.

Don’t You Already Have Enough To Do?

All of the sudden in addition to everything else you have to do…

At the same time you have to produce and ‘market’ your podcast.

After that your video channel and podcast have to be marketed.

To paraphrase Joe Kennedy without reservation…

Advice from strangers about my YouTube Channel…

Is the most compelling evidence the trend may be peaking.

By all means I think small businesses need to advertise.

Where Is Your Time Best Spent?

But it’s equally important we spend our time where it helps the business the most.

Do You Want Be In The Media Business Too?

Compared to being in the media business at the same time.
