Project 24 is our membership program that teaches you how to work toward replacing your current income with income from websites and RUclips channels in 24 months.
Project 24 is a product of Income School LLC. Results mentioned are not typical. The trademark “Project 24” refers to the goal of some people to create a successful business in 24 months, but is not a promise or guarantee of that success. Many online businesses fail because, like any business, it requires hard work, skill, and dedication. Before making business decisions, consult financial and legal professionals licensed in your jurisdiction.
I can't remember where I read it but a quote I saw years ago still sticks with me: "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent. It is the one that is most adaptable to change". I think it's a misquote from Darwin but I'd say it's pretty accurate for us a species. Personally I think it applies here too.
It absolutely does! Thanks for sharing that
@@IncomeSchool You’re very welcome. It reminds me of the “SEO is dead” I’ve been seeing for over 10 years too 😂
@@AndoverIT Yes! I try to see this as "figure this new SEO approach out and you'll have less competition cuz so many are exiting in 2024"
I need to send this video to Google. They also need some inspiration. 😄😄
Love you Ricky!! We need a strong, honest role model like you in the SEO industry. No shortcuts. Just honest hard work, like your entire RUclips channel. Thanks for the pep talk!! Needed this today.
Thanks for addressing what matters...the reality. Thanks for the encouragement. Google was tired on how the internet was saturated with old informations ( blog post ). So he wipes it off and said i think it's time to create a renewed searched engine. Blogging is not over, we just need new information, new scopes, new perspectives, new data, new searched results for a new search era. Go back, start that blog niche all over again but now with new perspectives. Blogging is not dead, it only needs new perspectives content for a new search engine. Thanks....
I'm focusing the 9-5 until I (or you!) figure out how to build a great business in the new, post-AI paradigm. Personally, I don't think blogs based around affiliate marketing will be part of that... because people are going to get their answers from their AI, rather than go to google and then trawl through the results. It's the most abrupt end to the most scammy industry.
Great video Ricky. And if anyone can figure out how to create value in the new landscape, it's you. Thanks.
spot on. new search engines will emerge that are "seriously" dynamic, maybe free, maybe AI-SW-pack (search+++), I think we are on a "tipping-edge", the Cat and the Bag, are in different directions, and the Cats had Kittens, and they don't like Lazers.
The ability to pivot is the marker of success.
Hello, I do not see any actionable advice. So in which direction we have to go? "Those people who put hard work will succeed" is a generic advice.
Its up to you to figure it out. If you crash into a brick wall, you will know you went the wrong way and can turn around.
Good luck.
@@thataaronromano So your plan is that we first crash into a wall and then turn around? Typical LongNosed advice, "Aaron".
@@MariaBelenSeyssInquart be careful with the Community of the Usury, that cannot be even named here. They are suggesting you to crash with their wall.
It is just more generic advise just like Google is saying "write helpful content"
@@mr_mysterious_6174 True!
These are timeless facts of life. Thank you for sharing in these difficult times. Those who don't quit easily almost always prevail in the long run.
Thank you for the video. That was motivating. I am totally new in this field but in the past one year tried my best to put my subject knowledge in an educational blogger site. Even though I get 50- 80 views and 2-3 impressions I was serious about continuing as I was enjoying my work. But after all these happenings, I was demotivated and didn't work on it last week. But I think I should continue, cause the feeling of happiness always supports success. We should always go with our heart. Thankyou sir.
Brilliant presentation. That is a reminder to focus on being ethical in doing anything in the present-day business landscape and probably in life.
I needed this video badly. Glad to know I'm not the only one going through tough times because of these changes.
Great video. I’m in a bit of limbo, I’m still new, but thinking about focusing more on product at the moment until the AI stuff has settled down. Is this a bad idea? I’m 100% going to keep going, figuring it out as I go.
Ricky, you hit the nail on the head and while we sometimes drown in the purely technical, it is necessary to get into your helicopter to look at the work you do from that perspective. Say, oversee the bigger picture. It is purifying and meaningful.
So thank you for your inspiring words.
im not quitting, im just 20 and I got nothing to lose, my main site is 60% down but I'm happy cause I wasn't working as much i used to before tat started giving me money, there was no motivation, now its time to get back, get out of the comfort zone and create something awesome....
Yes!
Our traffic keeps on climbing... I suspect it's because we're focused on niche domination and actual helpful content. We don't publish unless it's absolutely the best thing out there and unless it's been semantically optimized. We don't use AI. We don't play games. We don't buy links. We just play to win.
Nah. You just got lucky. Future HCU updates will probably hit you if it's a content only site.
Right and other people aren't doing exactly what you're doing. lol
Brother, I did all of the things you mention and more. My traffic went from 50k to 200 in a matter of a week. So yes you got lucky
@@raajmehta5428 no such things as luck bro
Just by watching the free content of this channel, I managed to create a blog a few years ago that earned up to 4k per month. Nowadays it's gone down to $100 per month (slowly but steadily died during the last 2 years). I can't thank Jim and Ricky enough... I literally owe them tens of thousands of dollars, so I really feel for what Ricky must be going through right now with the current shift in SEO.
Wish you guys all the best in finding new ways to teach these changes! I miss the "old" SEO days... but they're not coming back.
Great video Ricky! Love the quote. Life is about persistence and adapting to change.
Thank you for this uplifting speech 🙏🌟 The game ain't over until I WIN 🏆
WOW! Ricky you really wore your motivator hat today Thank you.
Wish i had a friend like to tell me this. Im just to bitter and ended up with no friends and do seo. Thank you for being you, income school team. I hope you all stay safe and well, and find a way.
that's the coolest thumbnail from you guys.
Excellent !!!
Good video, Ricky. If we don't believe in ourselves then how can anyone else! =)
I needed this today! Thanks so much Ricky. Also, cool thumbnail 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you liked it! I thought it turned out pretty cool!
You can make a video about how us bloggers can use reddit to drive traffic to the blog itself. I dont know how to use reddit. And a focused video on reddit for bloggers, will be really awesome.
I agree wholeheartedly
Love this Ricky! This video hits the perfect tone at the perfect time. Appreciate you man!
I've been blogging since 2008 so I've seen everyone say "blogging is dead" so many times. Many just don't want to change and adapt and for them, it does die but those that watch the changes and find ways to adapt with them are the ones that are still out there.
Blogging is dead btw lol. If someone says it is not dead they would either be selling courses, coaching or so called SEO gurus, because that's how they can make money no other ways. But there are very few genuine people like Authority Hackers agrees with it.
@@raiz2511 huh? That makes no sense.
@@mrssharp Updated the comment again read it
@@raiz2511 My income would say other wise.
Thank you. This is what i needed VERY BADLY. thanks for the inspiration..
Great video ! Thanks from Paris France 🇫🇷
Needed this. Cheers, Ricky! 👍
Life is neverending change
Brilliant!!! Our fearless leader 💪
Let's have some success stories. Lots of Income School students are doing well. Or let's have another interview with Kyle Roof or Jim Harmer...or Matt Diggity!
I'm worrying about getting my produce to market this spring. I'm worried I won't make enough monry farming and ned to take on more side jovs. I'm worried about working away from home so much that I miss my daughters' childhoods.
What am I doing about it? I made a video course that made me a little money. I started teaching classes at my farm on weekends. That helped. I am selling more of my soil amendment products locally. If I can get my SEO and traffic up again, I can sell my courses and products much more efficiently. I don't want to continue living as I was before. I will continue to make this dream a reality. I lost most add revenue and affiliate earnings, but I'm already replacing a good part of it with in-person classes.
I'm a martisl artist in several disciplines. Years before I earned my first black belt, an old timer told me something that I'll always remember. He said " the only difference between a black belt and a white belt is that a person with a black belt didn't quit.
I often say something similar: "Failure is not a lack of success but a lack of perseverance".
I need this today ❤
Awesome! Thanks Ricky, I knew as soon as you talked about the reality of hard work and pushing through difficulty, that the whiners would pop up in the comments! 😂 proverbs 22:13 “The sluggard says , “There is a Lion outside! I shall be killed in the streets”.
I was waiting for you to start saying for only 25c a day you can change a life and hearing "arms of an angel" playing for the first half of this lol
Let's make it happen! :)
Sage advice Ricky.....just like the armed forces, you just have to keep putting one boot in front of the other! I'm beginning to hear small anecdotal info that Google haven't ruled out that smaller niche sites could recover at some stage in the future. Just gotta keep adding good content. Gaz.
Hi Ricky 👋☺️
i resisted ai for about two years, but i'm in the process of optimizing my computer for creating ai video, particularly scripted comedy. doing scripted productions has always been a dream. i additionally have viable plans to do irl productions, ai productions are a stepping stone. some channels have been launched already
Yaawwwnnnn
@@RogueReplicant Does troll need a nap?
@@thanesbusiness5001 Where's the profit? Show us the money!!
Thank you so much for this video - you're right on with all that you said and it's certainly something that needed to be said.
Does project 24 even work at this point?
Yes. Blogging is just a fraction of what’s taught in Project 24. We have members having success still using what we teach because they’re doing more than just write content.
It’s also a fantastic community where we’re working together to figure out which methods are working best. It’s easier to do that when you’re in a community than when you’re alone.
If you’re referring to blogging then what P24 teaches in regards to blogging probably won’t work. However blogging is a fraction of what P24 teaches.
bro do it ONLY if this will not be ur ONLY INCOME SOURCE. Will they say it wont work? Think,,,
No success is guaranteed with a course. Why would you waste money and resources on a course when all the information and tips you need are readily available online? Experiment with trial and error and double down on what works best for you. There's no one-size-fits-all approach
It does ... I'd been following P24 for a long time without the success others were seeing, NOW I'm seeing it! Just focus on the cardinal rule - create valuable content! The rest is mechanics.
Cool, love this!
Many have to find a job for a few years while rebuilding
We all need to move away from the blog post model and focus digital products.
Thanks for the optimism. Those who grind get there. The goal post always moves though. What about the thought that maybe, somehow, the Google monopoly will break up or crumble? I believe there are active lawsuits against them. Tough to depend heavily on such a large, obtuse entity. Be nice to see some competition.
Good pep talk Riki.
Dang what a good message brother! 🙌🏻
Hopefully this will put the final nail in the naysayers coffins 😊
I think the niche blogs are going to suffer the most and I think personal brands or blogs with a face behind it. Will see a lot more.
Thank you for this truly positive and insightful message.
Well said!
You think this is bad. Imagine what affiliate and influencers will go through when tiktok is banned lol
Thank you sooo much... just needed these words today
You are so welcome!
Love the strategic use of the background 🎶
great video! can i know the background music name please?
There is a possibility no one considers: Google adjusting the actual update. Since now evey update was a move in the right direction, cleaning out the spam etc... But his one was a fail. They are certainly aware of it, and i guess it will be corrected (to an extent). There is little logic behind it, i have sites that still work pretty well, others have lost traffic, even though they have been builtusing the same method, with original research, pictures etc... Yes, changes are coming with AI in mid-term, but the update was bad. Everyone in the SEO community is a bit lost,includong Ricky / Income School, so a little motivationnal video isnt that bad of an idea, instead of trying to explain what cant be explained :)
My english sites have been affected, but my spanish sites, haven´t
Somehow Google hallucinate us to completely depends on it's product.
Great Inspiration!
Thanks for a great video
Nice one Ricky! 👏👏👏
The music does not fit the words, sorry. its strange.
.Who decided to add that cheesy soundtrack? Ahhhhh. Enough! I arrived an optimistic bunny, and leave a broken man.
Just beautiful. Hope in dark days.
Mr motivation at its best 😂❤😢😮😅
Pessimists are optimists with experience.
The game is changing so fast, I’m afraid to go to the toilet, when I return there’s always a new tech that changes everything
That's why I put the office in the bathroom
Very few talk about how to create content or many do except they are the black method of content. If cheaters get cut out then good I do not feel sorry for these cheaters.
Ricky is a nice guy and I believe he can pick himself and Project 24 up from the depths of failure and become successful again in future.
the depths of failure? the business never failed, it's still there and running. No mass layoffs, no closing of the doors... who told you it failed?
@@heymrcody it wasn’t a negative comment, I’m saying if project 24 does bottom out and the membership slows, Ricky has the talents to become successful again. I’ve been around internet marketing since 2005 and know a decent marketer when I see one, and Ricky is just that, something which can’t be said for the majority. Even with my level of experience, I’ve learned from Jim and Ricky.
Google has reminded us of what we already knew... that we should never be single sourced on anything.
I won't be too hard. We all treated Google as the gateway and put it in that position. However understandable, it was a mistake.
I still believe absolutely that our lives are going online both socially and economically. The landscape is changing but the fundamental trend isn't going away.
I like u bro, u put a brave face,,,, BUT to keep urself afloat u r putting ppl in a situation where ther is EXTREME UNCERTAINTY, even after 4yrs of putting in hard work, u donot know whetther u will be in the GAME. What if other social networks make changes??? U R trying to teach ppl to control the UNCONTROLABLE. Wont it be better to focus money and energy on things where u hv some control ATLEAST
Like what? please share your examples of things *you would do* that you have "control over".
The more value and opportunity in an action, the harder it tends to be. Put another way, investment returns and risk are correlated.
Ricky said very clearly, it's hard (has risk) and if you don't wanna do it, that's OK. And there are lots of other ways to earn a paycheck or build a business.
But control is an illusion. In most cases (not just building a business) we have very little control. There are no shortcuts and there is always risk.
But maybe I'm wrong. So please, bro, please tell us what you would do which offers so much more control and predictability?
I was also wondering what we can control other than how we respond. 10 years ago Ricky graduated with honors from the University of North Carolina with honors with his MBA. He also had a chemical engineering degree. Literally the day after graduation the company he worked for laid him off despite the fact that they had sponsored the MBA. Control is an illusion. Ricky built a business so he could actually have more control over his life. Things happen. The game changes. What are we going to do? That's the point.
@@juliekesler5258 We can only control our actions. Ultimate control of everything in this universe belongs to God
What a great comment.
@@j_yh I've decided to shift from SEO to monetize my website to selling ad space in my digital magazine. Let's say I manage to get businesses to buy ad space and they're signed to yearly contracts. There's always a chance that a few of those businesses decide not to renew their contract to advertise in my magazine. That leaves me in a situation of having to acquire new clients. In the SEO game, if an algorithm update destroys my traffic, I see that as a far harder obstacle to work through based off of what I've seen happen to other people. It's not something that can be done quickly, especially since SEO is a long game. At least with selling ad space, you can negotiate smaller ad prices to businesses to recoup the loss of a client. Is it more controllable than SEO? No, but it's easier to work through setbacks than playing Google's algorithm games which is set up for you to lose.
The rest of us have seen this all before, and we're nowhere near as optimistic as you.
In computer tech since 1981
Yeah, most people are less optimistic than me. But then again, most people are less successful in business than me. I wonder if those two things correlate?
Hint: they do!
What is this? A motivational video on an internet marketing channel?
You say, create something of value. So, whatever we were doing so far was of no value?
When people come to your channel, they expect actionable advice from an engineer, not motivational speech. For that there are better people out there.
Ricky turning into Tony Robbins now. Maybe the pivot of Project 24 is into a motivation self help course.
So by your logic you shouldn’t do anything unless you’re the absolute best at it… I guess we should all go home and just give up on life.
Saying you need to focus on user experience and value doesn’t mean that what you’ve done has no value. That’s very poor logic.
That’s like saying that since lasagna isn’t one of my top 10 favorite foods I HATE it.
Engineers can be motivating too. They can be a lot of things. My chemistry classes certainly didn’t teach me SEO…
And based on many comments here, this video was sorely needed by many.
It's all over when you're quoting past presidents
More fluff.
@@altran1125 Because everyone who states the facts is a cheater.
@@altran1125 ?
@krod16 not sure when or why you started trolling me. That’s disappointing.
Just because a video wasn’t what you wanted or needed doesn’t mean it’s fluff. Lots of people found this video very helpful. Therefore, calling it fluff is not a fact. It’s, by definition, an opinion. 🙄
@@IncomeSchool That's not me who called your content fluff.
Nope. You’re just piling on when other people say negative things. The OP called it fluff, stating an opinion. You implied his statement was a fact.
Add that to the other comments you’re choosing to pile onto and that amounts to trolling. I’d hoped for better from you.
Pretty generic video. There’s no substance here. Rah, rah…keep up the good fight. Adapt. Change. Yada, yada, yada.
Thanks for the engagement. Your comment helps my generic, substance-less content spread further!
@@IncomeSchool As if I didn’t know that. Straight from the IS video on how to handle negative comments.
From 3 years ago.
That’s me. Handling negative comments with poise since 2015.
