Exactly what is a purple cow?
Pictured above is my license plate, it reads, “PRPL KOW” which refers to a purple cow. So what exactly is a purple cow? The phrase comes from marketing icon, Seth Godin, it means that businesses need to find their purple cow or something truly unique about the business that sets them apart from others. It is on my license plate because it is a great reminder of what makes us all special and why are we here; plus it is a great conversation starter. Just last week someone stopped and asked what the purple cow meant!
I spoke directly with Seth when first creating my business and helped come up with the name Kow Abundant, more on that here. Watch Seth explain the importance of the purple cow for small businesses here in this video.
So as you go about your day, take a moment and ask yourself, “what is your purple cow?” What makes you truly unique?

Top Client Questions Of The Month:
Thanks to all the clients and newcomers for these great questions. Watch the Video Newsletter Here for more details.
1. Are Google Maps image photo view counts accurate? I get emails saying I have 9K views on some images?
– How Google counts these image views is if they are a profile photo for your business. So if you have a popular business it is possible you get many impressions/views. Remember, a view is not the same as a click or actual interest in your image. It is just what Google uses to show on the SERP for various searches and this includes image searches.
– This particular example email states that of the 36 photos you have a total of 9.7K views across all photos total not for 1 photo.
Google shows some images in your profile and when people search your business the image pops up. This is counted as a view but different from a straight view as you might think. It’s not someone looking through your photos like they do on Facebook or Instagram but instead if it appears in SERP (search engine results page).
2. What phone do you use? Is it a Google phone?
– Why yes, it is a Google Phone. In fact, I just got a new Google Pixel. I switched from iPhone to Google almost 3 years ago as it worked better for the work we do being in the Google ecosystem and the amazing voice assistant was a bonus. The camera takes superior images but the video is decent. The killer feature on these phones is the price. At only $449, it’s a steal and I wish more smartphones we’re this price and quality.
3. What are your thoughts of video editing programs like Descript?
– Years ago, when I first started in video editing, I used iMovie which was free and I used another program called Vegas video which I loved. I made a lot of fun and unique projects using that software. So if you find software or something that you try and you like then great. Use it, it can help you share something that otherwise you might not have.
– That being said, those tools are not industry standards which can be okay for simple videos. Just be aware that in the future you might not have long term access to these projects in their current form. If you can get to a point where you use Premiere Pro or Final Cut these tools have been around a long time and best of all, other pro videographers use them and can assist your efforts.
– Nowadays people edit video on their phone using simple tools so it is okay to try tools out and see what you like just don’t expect other people to be able to edit or use them.
4. Can you target by age on Facebook?
Yes, you can target by age on Facebook for most posts and ads. There are some limitations in certain sectors however like housing, credit/lending, and crypto/gambing, etc that have limited targeting options.
