    Push Marketing vs Pull Marketing: Best Target Audience Marketing Explained with Favour Obasi-ike

    Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS breaks down push (outbound) vs. pull (inbound) marketing. Pull marketing (social media, SEO, content) attracts audiences long-term via consumer-driven engagement. Push marketing actively promotes products for immediate sales but can backfire if poorly targeted. Using interactive examples (e.g., sending gardening tool emails to a Pinterest list), Favour highlights the need to understand audience pain points. He also covers data ownership (first-party vs. third-party) and shares a client success story of scaling to 1M monthly Pinterest views. Who is this for? Business owners, entrepreneurs, digital marketers, and content creators looking to understand inbound (pull) vs. outbound (push) marketing.

FAQs Q: What is the main difference between push and pull marketing? A: Push (outbound) actively promotes products for immediate sales (emails, ads). Pull (inbound) draws consumers naturally over time via valuable content, SEO, and social media. Q: Why is pull marketing better for long-term growth? A: It builds brand loyalty and trust. Consumers actively seek the info, making them more engaged, leading to higher conversions and lower unsubscribe rates. Q: What happens if push marketing isn't targeted correctly? A: Irrelevant offers confuse the audience, damage trust, and result in high unsubscribe rates or spam reports. Q: Which platforms allow me to own or natively download my content? A: YouTube and Pinterest allow native downloads of uploaded content. Instagram does not allow native downloading of uploaded reels/images from the dashboard. Action Steps Audit Marketing Mix: Prioritize pull marketing (content, SEO) to build trust before using push marketing (sales emails).Know Your Audience: Identify specific pain points to ensure messaging is relevant and avoids the "spam" effect.Leverage First-Party Data: Drive traffic to platforms you control (website, email list) rather than relying solely on rented social media.Optimize for Search: Invest in SEO and search-engine platforms like Pinterest or YouTube for long-term discoverability.Test & Refine: Continuously test emails and offers to maintain a seamless UX and low unsubscribe rate (under 0.3%).

    Fat Websites vs. Lean Websites: Technical SEO, Page Indexing, and Effective SEO Tactics with Favour Obasi-ike

    Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS discusses the critical differences between "fat" (bloated) and "lean" (optimized) websites. He explains how large file sizes, unoptimized images, and poor technical setups negatively impact search engine rankings and user experience. Favour emphasizes technical SEO, structured data, and webpage indexing, providing actionable advice on compressing assets, improving site speed, and preparing websites for future search engine updates. The conversation highlights the value of consistent content creation and building a strong technical foundation for long-term business success. Who is this for? Business owners, web developers, digital marketers, and SEO professionals looking to optimize their websites for better search engine indexing, faster load times, and improved user experience. It's valuable for understanding technical web performance, managing page bloat, optimizing images, and implementing structured data for long-term growth. Key Moments & Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction: Fat vs. Lean websites, technical SEO, and webpage indexing.02:08 - Impact of large images and web bloat on site speed and rankings.05:35 - Defining a lean website and benefits of compressing files (e.g., compressor.io).07:21 - Checking website health and page sizes using Siteliner and GTmetrix.09:38 - Historical context: Median mobile homepage file size increased from 845 KB in 2015 to 2.3 MB in 2025.29:08 - Importance of legible fonts and responsive design for users and search bots.31:34 - Utilizing structured data and Schema.org to enhance technical SEO.50:50 - Jason's feedback on Favour's consistency and the value of qualitative feedback.01:00:50 - Timeline for SEO results (3-12 months for initial impact, 6-24 months for realistic growth).01:05:29 - Final summary: Building lean websites with crucial semantics for future-proofing (2026+). FAQs Q: What is the difference between a fat and a lean website? A: A fat website has excessive bloat (large images, heavy code), slowing load times and hurting SEO. A lean website uses compressed assets and efficient code, resulting in faster load times, better UX, and improved indexing. Q: How can I check if my website is fat or lean? A: Use Siteliner.com to check page sizes and identify thick/thin pages. GTmetrix.com helps analyze loading speed and performance grade. Q: Does compressing images ruin their quality? A: Not necessarily. It depends on lossless vs. lossy compression. Tools like compressor.io reduce file sizes while maintaining acceptable visual quality. Q: How long does it take to see results from technical SEO improvements? A: Generally, 3 to 12 months for initial results, but expect 6 to 24 months for more realistic and substantial long-term growth.

    HTTP, HTTPS, and HTML | What is the Return on Investment (ROI) with Technical SEO? Learn with Favour Obasi-ike

    Technical SEO delivers 117% ROI in as little as 6 months — compared to 16% for basic content SEO over 15 months. Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS breaks down what that means in real dollars and real client results. WHO IS THIS FOR Small business owners are wondering why their website isn't showing up on Google. Entrepreneurs paying for ads who want to know if SEO is a smarter long-term investment. Marketing professionals who need data-backed ROI benchmarks.  E-commerce owners planning a 12–24 month organic growth strategy. Content creators who want to extend the shelf life of every piece they publish. Local business owners — local SEO delivers 750%+ ROI, the highest of any SEO category. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 — Room opens; framing question repeated as attendees join: "What is the ROI of technical SEO?" 10:00 — The Mario Kart analogy: Instagram = 72-hour boost, Pinterest = 5 months, website = 24 months 12:00 — Live Glimpse research: "SEO for small businesses" costs $44.40/click in Google Ads 17:00 — The 16% ROI / 15-month benchmark introduced 20:00 — On-page vs. technical SEO defined; the relationship foundation analogy 34:00 — Client case study: 30M-page site grows from 1.5M → 3.3M indexed pages after structural fixes 40:52 — Technical SEO ROI: 117% in as little as 6 months 45:40 — HTTP vs. HTTPS: why HTTP is "easily hackable" 52:00 — ROI by category: basic 16%, technical 117%, e-commerce 2–5x, local 750%+ 59:12 — Celese Williams on Semrush and data-driven content strategy 61:32 — Hayden: the Glossary Method — hidden keywords at 40x lower cost 70:05 — HTML = the letter; HTTPS = the postal service 74:00 — Closing: your website as a place of rest, connection, and long-term impact MEMORABLE QUOTES "Technical SEO is about 117%. And when you have a fundamental strategy, that 15 months could drop to six months." — Favour [40:59] "HTTP is easily hackable. Definitely get your HTTPS more than anything." — Favour [45:40] "You can't depend on social media to sustain a brand. It's going to enhance your brand, but it's not going to replace it." — Favour [51:14] "CEOs and bosses make data-driven decisions." — Celese [59:37] "The glossary method is the most powerful way — you can buy hidden keywords with thousands of views at 40 times less than the main broad topic." — Hidden [61:32] "Give yourself 6–24 months to see results.

HTTP vs. HTTPS? HTTP transmits data in plain text and is easily intercepted. HTTPS encrypts it and is a confirmed Google ranking signal. What is HTML? HTML is the letter — the content and structure of a web page. HTTPS is the postal service that delivers it securely. What is the Glossary Method? Targeting long-tail keyword definitions at high volume and low cost — often 40x cheaper per click than broad terms. Can I rely on social media instead of a website? No. Instagram content lasts 72 hours. A website article can generate traffic for 24 months or more. GLOSSARY HTTPS — Encrypted web protocol. A Google ranking signal since 2014. Crawl Budget — Time Google allocates to crawling your site. Wasted on broken pages; maximized by clean architecture. Content Decay — Ranking decline when content goes un-updated. Republishing resets the 24-month visibility window. Glossary Method — Targeting definitional long-tail keywords at low cost and high volume. GEO — Generative Engine Optimization. Structuring content to be cited by AI tools like Google AI Overview. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

  5. Michele DeFilippo: Self-Publishing Books for Rights, Royalties & Consistent Revenue [S13 Premiere]

    5D AGO

    Michele DeFilippo: Self-Publishing Books for Rights, Royalties & Consistent Revenue [S13 Premiere]

    Michele DeFilippo is the founder and driving force behind 1106 Design, a full-service book publishing company based in Phoenix, Arizona. With more than 50 years of experience in the book publishing industry — spanning traditional publishing, the rise of indie publishing, and the self-publishing revolution catalyzed by Amazon — Michele is one of the most respected voices in author services today. She founded 1106 Design in 2001 after the publishing industry was disrupted by technology, with a singular mission: to help independent authors publish professionally, keep 100% of their rights and royalties, and produce books that compete on equal footing with traditionally published titles. Her company provides a complete "manuscript to market" solution, including editorial evaluations, copyediting, custom book cover design, interior typesetting, eBook conversion, audiobook production, author websites, and publishing support. Michele is also the author of Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing, an 88-page guide available as a free download at 1106design.com. She has been featured across numerous podcasts, YouTube channels, and industry publications, and contributes regularly to IngramSpark's blog on self-publishing best practices. Schedule a call with Michele today >> WHO IS THIS FOR? Aspiring authors who want to publish without giving up their rights. Self-publishing authors who suspect they're leaving royalty money on the table. Business owners, coaches, and consultants who want a book as a credibility tool. Anyone pitched a "bestseller package" who wants to know if it's legitimate. Podcasters and content creators exploring long-form publishing as a brand extension. Episode Summary In this interview on the We Don't PLAY!™ podcast, Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS sits down with Michele DeFilippo to unpack one of the most misunderstood and financially consequential decisions an author can make: who to trust with your book. Over 22 minutes, Michele delivers a masterclass on the difference between traditional publishers, hybrid publishers, and true service providers — and why that distinction can mean the difference between earning $0.90 per book sold versus $6–$8. The conversation covers the full publishing landscape: how self-publishing emerged alongside Amazon, why so many "publishers" are actually double-dipping on author revenue, how to use KDP and IngramSpark to distribute without a middleman, what makes a book cover convert (and why it matters more than most authors realize), the truth about Amazon "bestseller" badges, the art of professional typesetting, and how to set realistic expectations before publishing. Michele closes with a transparent overview of how 1106 Design works, what authors should prepare before reaching out, and why the best way to make money with a book is often not through retail sales at all. TIMESTAMPS [00:00] — Intro: Michele DeFilippo, founder of 1106 Design, 50 years in publishing [03:20] — Publisher vs. service provider: the distinction that determines your royalties [06:12] — The hybrid publisher double-dip: earning $0.90/book instead of $6–$8 [09:11] — KDP and IngramSpark: the two platforms every self-publishing author must know [10:01] — "Pump and dump" publishing: the automated book trap [11:00] — Book covers as the #1 conversion driver: the job interview analogy [12:48] — A/B testing covers the right way: "liking vs. buying" [14:34] — The Amazon bestseller badge: how it's manufactured in 45 minutes [17:08] — Professional typesetting vs. basic formatting: why it matters [20:49] — Using a book as a business development tool, not a retail product MEMORABLE QUOTES "If you have no investment in my book, what entitles you to any portion of my profits?" — Michele [06:45] "There's retail sales, and then there's making money with your book another way — and that other way is usually better." — Michele [20:49] "The question isn't which cover do you like. It's which cover would you spend money on." — Michele [12:48] "A book that earns $2,000 in royalties but generates $50,000 in consulting revenue is not a modest success. It's a high-ROI asset." — Favour [21:10] "Typesetting is working on every line, every word, every paragraph — it's not just formatting." — Michele [17:08] FAQs What is the difference between a publisher and a service provider? A publisher acquires your rights and pays a royalty. A service provider charges once and steps away — you keep 100% of all future revenue. What makes hybrid publishers problematic? They charge upfront fees and also take a cut of every book sold — reducing per-book earnings from $6–$8 down to $0.90 on a $19.99 title. Which platforms should every author use? KDP for Amazon and IngramSpark for bookstores and libraries. Both have royalty calculators so you know exactly what you'll earn. Are Amazon bestseller badges legitimate? Most are manufactured in 45 minutes by selecting a low-competition subcategory. A genuine Nielsen bestseller is an entirely different credential. How do authors actually make money with a book? Treat it as a business development tool. Speaking fees and consulting revenue typically far exceed retail royalty income. GLOSSARY Service Provider — Charges a one-time fee; takes no ongoing royalties. The author retains 100% of rights and revenue. Hybrid Publisher — Charges upfront fees and also takes a percentage of sales. Double-dips on author revenue. KDP — Amazon's self-publishing platform for print-on-demand paperbacks and Kindle ebooks.

    The Left Brain and Right Brain of Websites: Bridging Web Dev and SEO with Favour Obasi-ike

    Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS breaks down the critical differences between Web Development (Web Dev) and SEO, explaining why a stunning website is useless without the technical SEO foundation needed to drive traffic and rank on Google. 🎯 Who Is This For? Business owners, web developers, digital marketers, and entrepreneurs who want to understand the technical relationship between building a website (WebDev) and making it visible to search engines (SEO) to drive organic traffic. Timestamps [00:00] WebDev vs. SEO — Introduction and why they are both very different [01:31] Why you need both: WebDev is how you build, SEO is how you're found [06:18] Real client story: A beautiful website that wasn't live to the server [07:21] Canonical tags pointing to localhost — the hidden launch mistake [12:05] Real case study: Client website hacked and rebuilt from scratch [13:08] The SEO checklist after a site is built: Schema, open graphs, DNS, speed [14:36] The core difference: WebDev moves the furniture, SEO adds the spice [18:12] The cycle of search: Search, find, click, save — every single day [18:46] Guest Lindsay shares: How SEO reframed the way she thinks about websites [21:44] Why 43% of 1.1 billion websites are built on WordPress [26:59] WebDev is the foundation; SEO is the sound technician at the event [37:15] Keyword strings vs. keyword things: The evolution of semantic search [42:50] Guest Ryan joins: Vibe coding, AI-built websites, and SEO challenges [49:11] The SEO problem with single-page applications and client-side rendering [55:59] Schema, structured data, and Google's Knowledge Panel in 2026 [60:20] The hidden "no index" default on Wix blog tags destroying your rankings [61:34] Closing: SEO allows your development to be seen, heard, and served Book Web Dev SEO Services? 🧠 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book Web Dev SEO Services or Technical SEO Services with Favour Obasi-ike⁠ 🧠 Visit our Official Work and PLAY Entertainment Website | Discover Best SEO Marketing Services 🧠 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our exclusive SEO Marketing community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🧠 Read SEO Articles 🧠 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the We Don't PLAY Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🧠 Purchase Flaev Beatz Beats Online 🧠 Favour Obasi-ike Quick Links 🧠 Start Recording your Podcast with Riverside Today | Sign Up with My Affiliate Link Here Need Marketing Resources? 📑 Read about SEO Topics 📑 Read about Clubhouse Audio Topics 📑 Read about Pinterest SEO Topics 📑 Read about Marketing Topics 📑 Read about Podcast Topics 📑 Read Social Media Tips 📑 Read Billboards Tips 📑 Read Work and PLAY Entertainment Newsfeed 🎙️ Sign up with PodMatch 💡 Key Takeaways Structure vs. Visibility: Web development is the structure (the house), while SEO is the furnishing and visibility (the address and curb appeal). You cannot have a successful online presence without both working together.Beauty Doesn't Equal Traffic: A website can look stunning on the outside, but if it lacks technical SEO elements like canonical tags, schema markup, and proper server hosting, it will remain invisible to search engines.The "No Index" Trap: Many default website builders (like Wix or WordPress templates) accidentally leave "no index" tags on pages, actively telling Google not to crawl or rank the site.Keyword Things, Not Strings: SEO is evolving from simple "keyword strings" (exact match phrases) to "keyword things" (contextual, semantic understanding of topics and entities). 💬 Memorable Quotes "Web development is like moving furniture. You're coding, you're scripting, you're tweaking. SEO is like putting the spice on the sauce. Without the spice, it's not going to taste as good as it could." — Favour Obasi-ike "If your website was not built with SEO, it's like having a beautiful tree and putting a massive shade in front of it so nobody can see it." — Favour Obasi-ike 🚀 Action Steps Audit Your Tags — Check your website's source code to ensure there are no accidental "no index" robots tags blocking search engines.Verify Your Canonical URLs — Ensure your canonical tags point to your live, public domain, not a local host or staging server.Implement Schema Markup — Add structured data (schema) to your pages to help search engines understand the context of your content.Check Your Open Graphs — Ensure your Open Graph tags are set up correctly so your links look professional when shared on social media.Bridge the Gap — If you hire a web developer, explicitly ask if they implement technical SEO. If not, hire an SEO specialist to optimize the site before launch.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Effective Email Marketing Monetization Strategies to Avoid High Spam Rates with Favour Obasi-ike

    Avoid High Spam Rates: Effective Email Marketing Monetization Strategies Masterclass with Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS. 🎯 Who Is This For? Business owners, digital marketers, and entrepreneurs who rely on email marketing to drive sales and want to protect their domain reputation from high spam rates and low deliverability. ⏱️ Timestamps [00:00] Introduction: Are you avoiding high spam rates? [01:32] What is an email spam rate and how is it calculated? [03:07] The danger zone: Why a 0.3% spam rate is a massive problem [07:16] The importance of warming up your email list for better deliverability [11:49] Understanding the feedback loop: Open rates, click rates, and stars [22:48] Why segmenting your email list is crucial for engagement [33:45] How to achieve higher open rates and lower bounce rates [62:59] Step-by-step guide to filtering and cleaning your email audience [66:14] Technical health: SPF records, DKIM, and domain reputation [73:03] Crafting amazing subject lines and preview text to drive replies 💡 Key Takeaways The 0.1% Rule: A healthy spam rate is 0.1% or lower. Hitting 0.3% risks severe damage to your domain reputation, which can cause your emails to stop being delivered entirely.Warm Up Your List: If you don't send emails frequently, warm up your list gradually. Consistent, high-value sending builds trust with ESPs like Gmail and Outlook.Clean Your List Ruthlessly: Filter your audience for hard bounces, soft bounces, and unsubscribes. Delete them immediately to protect your data accuracy and sender reputation.Technical Health Matters: Your Sender Policy Framework (SPF) and DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) records must be healthy to achieve elite deliverability rates.Segmentation is Power: Don't blast the same email to everyone. Segment your active vs. inactive subscribers so you get active responses from engaged readers.
