My name's Brandon Galey and welcome to episode 167 of the blog millionaire.

Donald Trump recently announced that the best case scenario for life returning back to normal

will be in July or August.

That means that the global economy is going to be on standstill for a significant period of time.

A simple fact at this point is we don't know how long it's going to take

to get back to what normal was. Yesterday, I asked over 250 high traffic bloggers how their

traffic has been impacted by the pandemic. I'm going to share with you the results and what it

publishers less than 48 hours ago. They said, obviously, advertising spend is directly related to the broader economy and consumer

spending. This is an unprecedented health-related shock to the economy, the repercussions of which

will surely impact ad revenue thanks to widespread closures, cancellations, and social distancing.

As the saying goes, markets take the stairs up and the elevator down.

On the flip side, when there is good news on the health front, we should start to see demand build again.

and we're confident it will be again. For now, we can only stay the course. Much of this is out

of our hands, but we will be monitoring the situation closely and adjusting pricing strategies

accordingly. My personal recommendation again again, is don't panic.

Treat this with a similar mentality to when quarter four transitions to quarter one.
