A Christmas Eve SEO scare

Justin and Jon talk about:


What's happened this year.

"You shouldn't be worried about that, but you should be
worried about THIS."

The SaaS gold rush: “Building, Owning (& possibly
Selling) a profitable remote SaaS business is the new American
Dream.” – Tyler Tringas

It’s harder to get the American Dream these days.
“Productivity has increased by 80 per cent, but median
compensation (that's wages plus benefits) has risen by just 11
per cent during that time. The middle-income jobs of the nation's
postwar boom years have disproportionately vanished. Low-wage
jobs have disproportionately burgeoned.” – Harold Meyerson,
40-year slump

More companies will take a stand on privacy: they’ll stop
using Google Analytics, Facebook Ads, etc...

Privacy-focused companies like Fathom Analytics will become
more popular.

Profitable SaaS companies + wealth founders will turn their
attention to climate change

Less open startups.

Simon Bennett tweet: "Unfortunately, I am stopping publishing
SnapShooter numbers from now on."
