Let's get one thing VERY clear as an industry: The HCU (Helpful Content Update) was NOT a GOOD thing for the quality of the SERPs, nor was it even really about the content on site.
It destroyed independent publishers, niche experts, and small sites with genuine first-person experience. People who'd spent years building real expertise in their verticals, creating content that was actually helpful, got wiped overnight...
And the three biggest winners? Reddit, YouTube and Quora.
One of which is owned by Google, and the other has a direct corporate partnership with them, conveniently turbocharged just before their IPO.
If helpful content is real, and Google is actually evaluating content quality, then why does the SAME content rank beautifully on a DR85 newspaper site or a Reddit thread, but barely make page 3 when it's on a DR30 niche blog that arguably has MORE expertise in that topic?
The answer is obvious, it was never about the content.
It rewarded authority, brand recognition, turbocharged UGC signals (A literal annotation in the leaked algo signals) and platform dominance.
And the independent web has gotten poorer for it.
The white hat SEOs who celebrated the HCU because they thought Google was "finally rewarding quality" were cheering for the consolidation of their own industry - And for some reason, there are some amongst us that STILL cheer it on 🤨
I don't know how anyone looks at the SERPs today, and thinks "yes, this is what quality looks like."
The algorithm killed what the guidelines said to reward.
Never trust the narrative that the house is representing - The house always wins...
La meilleure stratégie pour devenir libre financièrement grâce à l'ecom (c'est de loin la meilleure) :
Focus une niche très large
Construire un site multiproduit
(on testera d'abord un premier produit, puis un deuxième, etc... on rajoute petit à petit les produits)
Recherche produit en Europe grâce au reach & au daily spend via Meta Ads
Traduire simplement le funnel complet d'un concurrent en EU pour l'envoyer sur un autre marché EU
Testings uniquement via Meta Ads
Avoir un SOP media buying assez strict, et ne pas forcer sur un produit qui n'a pas de traction pour nous
Par contre, quand un produit est un petit peu en perte, ou break-even, alors il faut forcer dessus intelligemment
En faisant ça, vous éviterez de cramer de l'argent bêtement sur des produits qui n'en valent pas la peine
C’est exactement cette stratégie qui m’a permis de générer 1,3M€ de CA en seulement 8 mois, alors que j’étais encore en alternance en bac+5.
C’est aussi la stratégie qu’on enseigne dans la Zecom Academy
Et la stratégie parle d'elle-même, aucune autre formation ecom n’a réussi à faire exploser autant d’élèves en aussi peu de temps d’existence. 🤷♂️
On réouvre quelques places le dimanche 5 avril à 19h, avant de refermer les portes pendant plusieurs.

Rage baiters have plagued every niche group on Twitter to the point where 90% of this site exists solely to make you angry
Today alone, multiple NBA quotes have been taken out of context and gone viral
Just feels like the type of thing that will probably hit a breaking point
Like mainstream things = Tourist
Like Niche things = Contrarian
Legit can't win on this site lol. I got people calling me a ball/gun gamer with tiktok attention span just because I don't like TLOU very much despite my pfp being from a 30hr VN.
People always gotta find something that's wrong with you to justify why you don't like thing they like or why you like something they don't it's so silly.
how to find and market a profitable startup idea:
> find ideas from reddit threads using the prompt below:
site:"reddit .com" "{niche keyword}" "is there any tool"
> save every complaint/request with 10+ upvotes
> choose the most popular and build the ugliest MVP that solves ONLY their main complaint
> go back and DM every person who had the same issue:
"hey, building something for this. can I show you?"
> charge $29 one-time payment to "beta testers"
> if 5+ people pay, you have a product people want
> improve based on what paying users say (ignore free users)
> change the subscriptions to monthly for recurring revenue
> after, distribute everywhere to find where your customers are:
- different reddit communities
- twitter/x threads
- facebook groups
- linkedin posts
- tiktok vids
- instagram reels
- youtube shorts/long form
- email newsletters
- influencers to reach a larger audience
> when you hit $1k MRR, double down on the channels that work
