Episode Summary
In this episode of the Duct Tape Marketing Podcast, I interviewed myself—John Jantsch—on a topic that’s reshaping the foundation of online marketing: search visibility in an era dominated by AI search, zero click searches, and evolving Google search behaviors.
Search engine optimization (SEO) is no longer about simply ranking for keywords. As I explain in this solo episode, we’re witnessing a major shift from traditional SEO to what I now call search visibility—your brand’s presence across the entire digital ecosystem, from featured snippets and branded SERPs, to Google Business profiles and authoritative content that aligns with E-E-A-T principles. In a world where AI overviews often replace the need to click through to your website, your strategy must evolve beyond keywords and clicks.
Key Takeaways
-
SEO is now about search visibility, not just rankings—brands must appear in multiple places where answers are delivered.
-
AI search and zero click searches mean that most Google users get what they need without clicking; visibility across multiple platforms is critical.
-
Google is now an answer engine, not just a search engine—your content should be structured to serve direct answers.
-
The rise of E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) is a signal that content trust signals matter more than ever.
-
Create structured content like FAQ sections, TLDR summaries, and hub pages to increase your chances of being featured in AI answers and featured snippets.
-
Local SEO still matters—optimize your Google Business profile regularly as a publishing platform for increased exposure.
-
Refreshing old content boosts content freshness signals that can improve your visibility in the knowledge graph and elsewhere.
-
Focus on content strategy that prioritizes quality, experience-driven stories, and unique insights—not generic blog posts generated by AI.
-
Don’t chase head terms. Focus instead on long-tail queries and content formats that meet user intent more directly.

Overview
In this episode of the Duct Tape Marketing Podcast, John Jantsch welcomes Jon Mest, founder of JustReachOut.io and ChatRank.ai, to break down the evolving relationship between AI, public relations, and SEO. Jon shares how AI is shifting the landscape for marketers, agencies, and entrepreneurs, moving effective outreach away from mass automation and toward authentic, human-driven storytelling. The conversation covers why PR is making a comeback, how AI-powered answer engines like ChatGPT and Google Overviews are changing what it means to “rank,” and what practical steps brands should take to get found—and trusted—in a noisy digital world.
Guest Bio
Jon Mest is the founder of JustReachOut.io, a platform empowering entrepreneurs, agencies, and consultants to land media coverage by pitching journalists directly, and ChatRank.ai, a solution for AI-driven SEO visibility. With over a decade of hands-on experience in PR and search, Jon has helped thousands of marketers simplify their outreach and keep SEO rooted in what actually works—enabling brands to tell authentic stories that resonate, earn trust, and drive results.
Key Takeaways
- AI is a powerful tool to guide, not replace, human-driven PR and SEO. The best results come when AI augments authentic outreach, not automates it at scale.
- Traditional PR—authentic storytelling, earned media, micro-influencer outreach—is regaining importance as search engines and answer engines prioritize authority, expertise, and credible citations.
- AI-powered answer engines (like ChatGPT and Google’s AI Overviews) are changing the rules for SEO. Brands now need to be hyper-specific and authoritative on their niche to get surfaced in high-intent results.
- Showing up in AI overviews is the new “number one spot”—but it requires a combination of strong, relevant content and third-party validation through PR and backlinks.
- Personalization and relevance are non-negotiable in modern outreach. Mass, generic pitches are filtered out, while targeted, story-driven pitches cut through the noise.
- The “hook” in your pitch or subject line is crucial. Journalists and influencers need a compelling, unique reason to pay attention—and proprietary data or exclusive stories make you stand out.
- Social proof is still powerful: smaller wins with niche or local publications can build a track record that leads to coverage in larger, national outlets.
- Brands should amplify and repurpose earned media where their audience is—whether it’s podcasts, trade journals, or niche blogs—rather than chasing only big-name coverage.

Overview
In this episode of the Duct Tape Marketing Podcast, John Jantsch interviews Blair Enns, founder of Win Without Pitching and a leading authority on selling creative and consulting expertise. Blair shares insights from his new book, The Four Conversations, which distills decades of agency wisdom into a clear roadmap for moving from pitching and price-haggling to confidently leading client relationships. Listeners will discover how to shift from vendor to trusted advisor, raise closing rates, price based on value, and master the four pivotal conversations that define every successful client engagement.
About the Guest
Blair Enns is the founder of Win Without Pitching and the author of several acclaimed books on agency sales, pricing, and positioning. Over the past two decades, Blair has helped thousands of agencies and consultancies around the world move away from free pitching and price wars toward leading client engagements and charging for their expertise. His latest book, The Four Conversations, offers a practical framework for mastering the most crucial moments in every client relationship.
Actionable Insights
- Most agencies close far fewer deals than they think—often just 25%. Doubling your close rate and raising prices by 20% can dramatically improve profitability.
- The “four conversations” framework: Probative (demonstrate expertise), Qualifying (vet fit for both parties), Value (define value to be created and price accordingly), Closing (help the client select and commit to a path forward).
- Selling expertise is not about convincing or manipulating—it’s about guiding, questioning, and facilitating the client’s best decision.
- True leadership in sales means moving from statements about yourself to questions about the client, and from eagerness for the work to discernment and selectivity.
- Pricing should begin with a value conversation—anchoring fees to outcomes, not just deliverables or time spent.
- Productizing your service delivery is compatible with pricing each client based on value, not a fixed menu.
- To move from vendor to trusted advisor, adopt the “expert’s mantra”: I am the expert, I am the prize, I’m on a mission to help, and I can only do that if you let me lead. All will not follow—and that’s okay.

Ways to Earn Money Online: Strategies and Tech Trends for Maximum Profit
Understanding Online Income: Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is a performance-based online income strategy where individuals earn commissions by promoting products or services offered by others. Essentially, affiliates act as intermediaries, driving traffic to the merchant’s site through unique affiliate links. When a user completes a purchase using these links, the affiliate receives a predetermined commission. This model has become increasingly popular due to its potential for passive income generation, scalability, and relatively low startup costs.
To set up an affiliate marketing business, it is crucial to first choose a niche that aligns with both personal interests and market demand. Selecting the right products or services to promote can significantly impact earning potential. It is advisable to focus on quality offerings that provide real value to consumers. Researching suitable affiliate programs is also essential; factors to consider include commission rates, payment schedules, and the reputation of the merchant. Platforms like Amazon Associates, ShareASale, and CJ Affiliate are famous among aspiring marketers.
Once the foundation is established, driving traffic to your affiliate links becomes a priority. Content marketing is an effective approach, wherein blogs, reviews, and tutorials showcase the promoted products in a natural context. Providing informative and engaging content can lead to organic traffic while concurrently building trust with the audience. Social media platforms also serve as valuable channels for promotion. Consistently sharing relevant information and engaging with followers can boost visibility and stimulate interest in your offerings.
Furthermore, tracking performance metrics is vital for optimizing campaigns. Utilizing analytics tools allows affiliates to understand which strategies generate the highest conversions and adjust accordingly. Common pitfalls to avoid include neglecting audience engagement, choosing the wrong products, and failing to comply with legal guidelines for disclosure. By focusing on these aspects, individuals can navigate the complexities of affiliate marketing and maximize their online income potential.
Freelance Work: Turning Skills into Income
Freelancing has emerged as a viable avenue for individuals seeking to earn money online by leveraging their unique skills and expertise. With an internet connection and a marketable talent, anyone can transform their passion into a profitable venture. Numerous platforms such as Upwork, Fiverr, and Freelancer facilitate this connection between freelancers and clients, providing an accessible marketplace for a diverse range of services.
To maximize your chances of securing freelance work, creating an attractive freelancer profile is critical. This profile serves as your digital portfolio, showcasing your skills, experience, and prior work. It is advisable to include a compelling biography that emphasizes your strengths and what differentiates you from competitors. Clear communication about the services offered and testimonials from previous clients can also enhance trust and desirability among potential clients.
Setting competitive rates is another crucial aspect of establishing your freelance career. Researching industry standards, considering your level of expertise, and being open to negotiations can help in determining a suitable pricing strategy. However, it is essential to strike a balance between affordability and maintaining the value of your skills.
Building a portfolio that highlights your best work is vital for attracting clients. A well-curated portfolio gives potential clients a glimpse of your capabilities and demonstrates professionalism. Additionally, networking within professional communities both online and offline enhances visibility and opens up opportunities. Engaging with potential clients through various channels encourages trust and fosters communication, which is essential for developing strong working relationships.
Lastly, to ensure a consistent income stream, freelancers should aim for long-term contracts and repeat business. This can be achieved by delivering quality work, maintaining clear client communication, and addressing feedback promptly. By strategically positioning yourself within the freelance marketplace, you can effectively turn your skills into a sustainable source of income.
Creating Passive Income Streams: Financial Freedom through Automation
Passive income is often regarded as a cornerstone of financial independence, allowing individuals to generate revenue without the necessity of continuous active involvement. It represents a valuable strategy for those who aspire to secure their finances and achieve greater freedom from traditional employment barriers. By establishing multiple streams of passive income, one can work towards a sustainable and resilient financial future.
Several avenues exist for creating passive income. One popular method is investing in stocks, which provides opportunities for capital gains and dividends. By choosing a diverse portfolio of equities and exploring stock index funds, investors can leverage market growth over time. Another option is real estate crowdfunding, which enables individuals to invest in property without needing to manage it directly. This can offer significant returns while requiring minimal time commitment.
Additionally, entrepreneurs can create digital products, such as e-books or online courses, which can be sold repeatedly without ongoing efforts post-launch. This not only offers the potential for recurring income but also taps into the rising trend of online education and digital assets. Earning royalties from creative endeavors, such as writing, music, or photography, can also serve as a lucrative source of passive income. Each sale contributes directly to the creator’s earnings with little further effort needed.
Identifying opportunities for passive income generation necessitates thorough research and understanding of market trends. It is crucial to explore various fields and assess personal interests and skills to find the most suitable paths. Moreover, automating these income streams through technology, such as using e-commerce platforms or subscription services, reduces the workload, allowing individuals to focus on the strategic aspects of their investments.
Diversification of income sources is imperative in building a resilient financial future, as it mitigates risks associated with relying solely on one avenue. By integrating various passive income strategies, individuals not only foster financial growth but also enhance their ability to navigate market fluctuations.
Tech Trends and Gadgets to Enhance Online Earning Potential
In today’s fast-paced digital economy, understanding and leveraging current tech trends is essential for maximizing online earning potential. Innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) tools are transforming the landscape of online work. These AI applications can assist in content creation, enabling writers and marketers to generate high-quality articles, graphics, and videos more efficiently. By automating mundane tasks, these tools allow creators to focus more on strategy and engagement, ultimately leading to increased income-generating opportunities.
Another significant trend is the rise of automation software. From project management to email marketing, automation tools streamline processes and enhance productivity, making them indispensable for online entrepreneurs. By automating repetitive tasks, individuals can save valuable time and effort, allowing them to allocate resources toward more profitable activities. Features such as automated reporting and analytics can also provide insights that help refine strategies for financial success.
The latest gadgets have also entered the remote work arena, greatly enhancing the online earning experience. For instance, high-quality webcams and audio gear ensure that virtual meetings are more professional and engaging, which is vital in an era where remote collaboration is becoming the norm. Ergonomic keyboards and adjustable standing desks can contribute to improved comfort and efficiency, allowing workers to maintain productivity over longer hours.
To stay updated with these pivotal advancements, subscribing to tech newsletters, attending industry webinars, and participating in online forums can be invaluable. Engaging with communities focused on emerging tech trends will enable individuals to adapt quickly, ensuring they remain competitive in the ever-evolving online earning environment. By embracing these innovative tools and trends, one can significantly enhance their productivity and ultimately achieve higher earnings.
Mastering Online Content: A Comprehensive Guide to Reviews, Comparisons, and Affiliate Marketing
Understanding Top Lists and Product Reviews
In today’s digital landscape, top lists and product reviews play a critical role in shaping consumer decisions. With the sheer volume of products available online, consumers often seek curated content that highlights the best offerings in a given category. Creating engaging top lists not only helps streamline the decision-making process for readers but also positions content creators as knowledgeable resources in their respective niches. The key to crafting effective top lists lies in thorough research and a clear understanding of the criteria for product selection. Criteria may include functionality, user experience, cost-effectiveness, customer ratings, and specific features that distinguish one product from another.
Effective product reviews, on the other hand, are essential in providing a detailed analysis of individual items. An unbiased and transparent approach is crucial for maintaining credibility with readers. Reviews should be structured logically, typically beginning with an overview of the product before delving into its features, benefits, and drawbacks. The use of a conversational yet professional tone allows for a relatable reading experience while ensuring that the content remains informative. Additionally, highlighting personal experiences and real-world applications brings authenticity to reviews, allowing consumers to envision how the product may fit into their lives.
An important aspect of integrating affiliate marketing is weaving affiliate links seamlessly into the content without compromising authenticity. While it is essential to disclose affiliate partnerships, presenting links within a context that makes sense for the reader encourages clicks without detracting from the main purpose of the review. For instance, when discussing a product’s function or unique selling points, providing a direct link for purchase is both helpful and appropriate. This balance ensures that readers receive valuable insights while giving content creators the opportunity to monetize their expertise through affiliate marketing.
Creating Comparison Articles: A Step-by-Step Approach
When crafting comparison articles, a systematic approach is essential to convey clear and informative content. The first step involves selecting the products or services for comparison. It is imperative to choose items that are relevant and appealing to your target audience. A good strategy is to consider common purchases and their alternatives, ensuring to cover a range of options that fulfill different user needs.
Once you have selected the items to compare, the next crucial step is to establish criteria for evaluation. This involves identifying the key features and attributes that matter most to potential users. Criteria may include price, performance, user experience, customer support, and any unique features that differentiate the products or services. By clearly defining these aspects, you obtain a structured foundation for your analysis that adds credibility to your comparison.
Organizing information effectively enhances the readability of your comparison article. Utilizing visual elements, such as tables and charts, allows readers to quickly grasp key differences and similarities between the products or services. These visuals serve to distill complex information into easily digestible formats, which can profoundly influence a reader’s decision-making process.
Moreover, ethical considerations play a substantial role in writing comparison articles. It is vital to disclose any affiliate relationships transparently, as this serves to establish trust with your audience. By openly communicating your connections, readers can assess the impartiality of your evaluations. Additionally, striving for balanced viewpoints throughout your comparisons ensures that you present an honest assessment, allowing readers to make informed choices based on both advantages and disadvantages.
Incorporating these steps into your writing process will enhance the quality and effectiveness of your comparison articles. By focusing on a structured approach, established criteria, and ethical considerations, you are positioned to create compelling content that serves the needs of your audience while also adhering to best practices in online content creation.
The Art of How-To Guides: Engaging Your Audience Step-by-Step
Creating successful how-to guides requires a comprehensive understanding of your target audience. Knowing who they are and what they need helps shape the content to better resonate with them. This entails researching their interests, skill levels, and the specific challenges they face related to the topic at hand. By tailoring your content to directly address these areas, you establish a strong connection that enhances engagement and invites readers to delve deeper into the material.
When crafting clear and concise step-by-step instructions, a structured framework is essential. Utilizing bullet points and numbered lists improves readability and provides clarity for your audience. Each step should be written in straightforward language while being precise and actionable. For instance, if a step involves a technical procedure, ensuring that the jargon is either minimized or explained will enable readers with varying levels of expertise to follow along comfortably.
Furthermore, the inclusion of affiliate links within your guides can be done in a manner that feels organic to the reader. When suggesting products or services, always be transparent about the nature of affiliate links and any potential commissions you may earn from purchases facilitated through those links. This honesty fosters trust and maintains the integrity of your content while offering value to your audience.
Incorporating visuals, such as images, infographics, or videos, can greatly enhance the effectiveness of your how-to guides. Visual aids not only break up textual content but also provide clarity to specific steps, making complex instructions easier to follow. Tailoring your visuals to align closely with the content ensures that they support rather than distract from the overall message. By paying attention to these elements, your how-to guides can become indispensable resources for your audience.
Leveraging Giveaways and Contests for Engagement
In the dynamic realm of online content, giveaways and contests stand out as effective strategies for fostering engagement and growing an audience. By offering incentives, content creators can attract participants and encourage interaction with their platforms. To conduct a successful giveaway, careful planning and execution are crucial. Selecting an appropriate prize that resonates with your target audience can significantly enhance participation rates. Ideal prizes are those that are relevant to your niche, whether they are products, services, or experiences. They should excite your audience and motivate them to engage with your content.
Once the prize is chosen, establishing clear and concise rules is essential. Participants should have a straightforward understanding of how to enter, what criteria will be used for selection, and when the contest ends. These guidelines help prevent confusion and ensure a positive experience for all involved. Promoting the event across various platforms is equally important; utilize social media channels, your website, and email newsletters to reach a broader audience. Each platform serves as a unique opportunity to generate buzz and encourage shares, further expanding your outreach.
Transparency is vital when it comes to using affiliate links in connection with contests. Clearly outlining how affiliate relationships work fosters trust among participants. Letting your audience know that you may earn a commission from any purchases made through links associated with the giveaway can enhance credibility. This transparency can build a lasting relationship with your audience, encouraging them to participate and engage with future initiatives.
Lastly, analyzing the outcomes of each giveaway is essential for measuring success. Track metrics such as participation rates, traffic generated, and engagement levels. These insights can inform your strategies for future campaigns, helping refine your approach and maximize the effectiveness of giveaways and contests as avenues for audience growth.
