"Google Blacklisted My Website... What Do I Do Now?" w/ Abel James of Fat-Burning Man

What worked yesterday for your online business may not work the
same tomorrow.


The internet is quickly evolving and the algorithms used by the
giant tech platforms we often rely on to run our businesses can
often lead us to unknowingly fall victim to censorship,
shadowbanning, and SEO downranking.


In response, you as a wellness business owner need to rethink how
you market yourself online. Instead of getting overwhelmed by
this, Abel James wants you to dance with these algorithms and
adapt to new ways of thinking to be a better and more responsible
online business.

tech platforms we use and rely on to run a business (6:50)

The Future Of Online Businesses with Abel James



Abel James has had a lot of success in many different
fields. 


Creator of The Fat-Burning Man podcast, an NYT bestselling
author, Founder of Wild Superfoods, and a songwriter and poet,
Abel is comfortable wearing many different hats.


Despite this long list of successes, however, his business is
still not immune to the challenges facing many online health and
wellness business owners today, which is what Abel is here to
share his unique perspective on.



Staying Positive In An Ecosystem that Promotes
Negativity


The way the internet is progressing really rubs Abel the wrong
way, with a shift from organic to paid advertising and the need
to spend money just to reach your own audience.


However, Abel has some creative and collaborative solutions to
help creators in the wellness space move forward and take the
high road when it comes to the culture that you want to build. In
this episode, Abel shares his guiding lights when it comes to
running an online business in a responsible way as well as
staying on top of what is working online right now.



Holding Onto Hope As A Business
Strategy


Abel puts emphasis on viewing yourself as a creator, sharing your
interests with your audience, and thinking deeply about business,
the world, and our place in it as business owners, marketers, and
human beings.


Despite all of the problems Abel sees in the world–both online
and off–he holds onto a powerful sense of hope that drives both
him and his business forward.


With grand optimism for a decentralized and free internet, a team
that looks more like a band than a business, and putting in the
work even when it doesn’t seem like it is paying off, Abel is
passionate about how his business can help the world.
