Every marketer wants scale—but YouTube doesn’t hand it out on day one. The early stage of growing a channel is quiet. Sometimes painfully so. That’s why Davis Morgan, full-time YouTuber and guest on this episode of Content Logistics, says it’s crucial to set the right expectations—especially for small teams and business owners trying to build something on the side. “This is the worst way to make quick money,” Davis admits. “It takes a lot of time and effort, and most people won’t see returns for a year or more.” So what’s the smarter approach? Start by treating YouTube like you would a podcast or newsletter—an outlet for consistent, low-pressure creativity. Don’t overcommit to fancy gear or a rigid schedule. Instead, carve out a workflow that fits your existing bandwidth and focus on getting better each time you post. You don’t need to go all in to start building a presence. You just need to enjoy the process enough to keep showing up. Because when growth finally comes, it’ll be because you earned it—not because you bought it.

Search engine optimization has long been anchored to rank tracking, a methodical approach to monitoring keyword positions, optimizing for higher rankings, and using data to demonstrate marketing success. However, Google's recent algorithm updates have fundamentally disrupted traditional tracking tools, creating significant challenges for marketers seeking to measure search positions with their previous level of precision. In this episode of Content Logistics, host Baylee Gunnell engages in an in-depth conversation with Colin Costigan, Account Director at Marketers in Demand. Together, they dissect the evolving landscape of SEO, exploring how AI-driven search behavior, zero-click searches, and Google's dynamic ranking factors reshape digital marketing strategies. Colin explains how Google's commitment to enhancing user experiences and transitioning toward AI-generated overviews have deprioritized traditional rank positions. Instead, the focus has shifted to engagement-driven metrics. He delves deep into the E-E-A-T framework—Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness—offering strategic guidance on how businesses can optimize content for sustained visibility. Moving beyond the outdated approach of chasing rankings, Colin advocates for a more holistic strategy. He encourages marketers to concentrate on metrics that drive business growth, such as share of voice, user engagement, and conversion rates. The conversation extends to exploring the growing significance of video, images, and social signals in search rankings, providing listeners with a comprehensive understanding of modern SEO strategies.

Email tracking isn’t what it used to be. Privacy changes, spam filters, and shifting technologies have made open and click rates unreliable. In this episode of Content Logistics, host Baylee Gunnell sits down with Jacob Brain, Director of Operations at Marketers in Demand, to unpack why traditional email metrics are failing—and what marketers should track instead. Jacob explains how email tracking works at a technical level, why Apple’s Mail Privacy Protection and evolving spam filters have disrupted accuracy, and why relying on opens and clicks alone leads to misleading insights. He breaks down alternative ways to measure engagement, such as website tracking, multi-touch attribution, and intent-based data, offering a smarter approach to email marketing. The conversation also explores how marketers can build a modern tech stack, integrate tools like Factors and Clay, and use data to support sales teams effectively.
