It’s not innovation—it’s online business inception

In this episode, we’re exploring three tell-tale signs of Online Business inception, the online business inception pyramid scheme, and how to protect yourself.

Topics discussed in this episode:

• What is Online Business Inception?

• How success is often based on teaching the platform, not using it for real business. 

• Circular content strategies that recycle the same advice with little substance.

• Saturation of tactics leading to platform fatigue and diminishing returns.

• The hidden pyramid scheme.

• The shift from value creation to value extraction in the online space.

• How to protect yourself: vet advice, temper expectations, and spot patterns early.
