Kalicube Tuesdays with Melissa Fach and Jason Barnard

Melissa Fach talks with Jason Barnard about content-focused Google updates.

During this very informative and enjoyable conversation, Melissa shares absolutely boatloads: her own philosophy on how to create a flawless piece of content, a reliable process for writing an article and the most common mistakes people make when writing content.
