Another month, another Google Core Algorithm update was rolled out, and the March 2024 update sure was a doozy.
We're not going to sugar coat it- this one was bad. In fact, it was probably the worst update we've seen for bloggers in our 15+ years of working in the industry.
Still, as the algorithm update is on-going, no one has a clear understanding of what is going on. But that doesn't mean the theories aren't flying. So in this one, we thought we'd share some popular conspiracy theories we've seen about the March 2024 core algorithm update, and breakdown why we think most are just that- conspiracies.

The FAA Part 107 Drone Exam is a Must for Flying in the USA

If you are considering picking up a drone for your blog to get some fantastic aerial photos and videos, you're in for a real treat. The technology makes for capturing stellar footage that could help set you apart online.
However, if you plan on using your drone for commercial purposes, particularly in the USA, you will need a license.
Thankfully, the FAA makes licensing for small unmanned aircraft use incredibly easy. All you have to do is study for the Part 107 drone exam, take a 60-question test at an authorized center near you, pass a background check, and off you go.
So in this one, I thought I'd break down the process I had to go through more when taking my Part 107 exam in early 2024- what was easy, what was a bit more confusing, and give some tools to help you be on your way to passing the exam and becoming a licensed drone pilot!
Note: Drone restrictions vary from country to country, state to state, county to county, and city to city. This article is intended only to focus on the licensing requirement with the FAA in the USA and does not touch on operational rules in your locality. We recommend researching all local restrictions in the areas you will likely fly the most before spending the money to buy a drone and become licensed.

Yes, we get it, social media is pretty terrible right now.
From jumping through all the hoops to low quality content always seeming to thrive, there is a lot to hate about social networks as a creator.
For bloggers and creators reading this, odds are good that this will feel like we are preaching to the choir here. As much as we want you to chime in and agree with us, we have to admit, this post is not just for you.
Ideally, this one is for anyone who works for a social media company who may stumble upon us because we have some things you need to read. We would send this one privately, but you also don't make it easy to submit feedback. So a public lashing it is.
