HelloZ

Well, well, well. October finally showed up. Whether your season is pumpkin spice, Hocus Pocus, or apple picking, I think we can all agree autumn is the most superior season, and I for one, can’t wait to soak it all up.

Today I’m checking in on the heels of an amaZing AZA! Thank you to all those who came out yesterday. I love getting candid about affiliate marketing, and you guys bring the most thoughtful questions. I got some really amazing feedback and it means the world to me. I hope you all continue to find value in these sessions! If you missed this one, don’t worry, I’ll be hosting more! Hello plus I’m officially making a course. It’s happening. I’m not teasing, but technically teaZing. You know?

Enough small talk. We’ve got newly published articleZ, newZ and funnieZ to get to. Here we go!

Media AffairZ

Google is switching up its search results to keep up with the cool kids. Instead of links, Google searches will return imagery and videos – including content from TikTok and YouTube, 3D imagery, Live Views, immersive maps and more.
Twitter is also rolling out two new updates. You can now expand videos to full screen with a single click, and a new video carousel will try to guess what you think is interesting. So get ready for some exciting Real Housewives content and banging jokes.
Interactive live video is officially mainstream and Gen Z now expects it across their experiences, according to a new survey by Agora.
After 7 years at the desk, Trevor Noah is leaving “The Daily Show.” I still miss Jon Stewart.
Disney breaks up with Dish Network. The programming giant pulled its 20 channels, including Disney Channel, ESPN, Freeform, FX and National Geographic among others, from Dish Network’s satellite television and Sling TV last week.

NewZ to AmuZe

Kim K is giving back. To the SEC. In the form of a $1.3M fine. Because she conveniently forgot to disclose she was paid $250K to promote a cryptocurrency on Instagram.
Kelly Osbourne is having a baby boy, and Grandad Ozzy is pumped.
In a savvy move I think we can all understand, NFL player DK Metcalf was carted off the field mid-game to poop.
Freed from fence noose, a Connecticut moose is back on the loose. So many missed opportunities on the headlines of this story.
