    Is my idea for a giveaway campaign stupid to hype a new wholesale product?

    MARKETING 
    I helped a not-so-healthy food company this past year grow their revenue 80% and their online store revenue 150% while sales from farmer's markets have been stagnant. Turned DTC from 22% of sales to 51% of sales. Honestly they've become kind of reliant on DTC at this point. Every year before...

    I've never had any popcorn that didn't have this problem, except Smartfoods in Canada/USA. But I don't think it's air popped and it still doesn't last that long anyway. Caramel corn seems to keep its texture for a while though. Here people like caramel popcorn mixed with cheese popcorn, and the...

    Marketing funeral homes

    IDEA 
    If they have high demand and continuous clientele, why would they need you? One of my first gigs ever was for a Jewish funeral home. I've talked about it a bit before, but their issue (at the time, back in 2013) was that they needed a better website that could seamlessly switch between English...

    Action faking, negativity, I need advice

    MINDSET 
    View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNePCoXjC4s This is technically about training, but this applies to anything. It's about building habits (despite the title) Why? Because it's fun. It's fun to play video games. It's fun to go out with friends. It's fun to consume content. And there's...

    Huge opportunity now is LLM optimization/LLM SEO/GEO/AEO/whatever the F*ck it's called, basically getting ChatGPT and the like to recommend your business or your content. If Google is losing traffic, then get traffic from the thing that's stealing the traffic from Google! In fact I've...

    need advice - branding and content creation agency

    IDEA 
    Based on what you've said, she wants someone to run content creation for her. If you want to really be of help, then take care of the whole thing. Find out what you need to give her EXACTLY what she wants (regardless of your own capabilities), put it together, get a cost breakdown. Who will you...

    - AI - 
    I was reading a book called "From Beirut to Jerusalem" about the Israel-Lebanon war in the 1980s. One of the many stories in there was a story about a Lebanese businessman who found himself caught up in the war. He ran successful businesses in Beirut but they had been destroyed by bombs. His...

    The full picture is a lot of those laid off people got other jobs, and these jobs require them to actually go into the office or be physically present on a work site.

    - AI - 
    I thought about that situation a bit more. Your value wasn't instant at all. You spent 2 hours troubleshooting to get that done. Maybe it makes sense to simply hire VAs with really, really good AI skills until AI agents are good enough to take care of it all. Also: the AI bubble might be...

    The Coming AI Job Apocalypse: Entrepreneurship is Your Answer.

    - AI - 
    That sort of instant value is going to be the death knell for consultants in all industries. The only reason it hasn't happened yet is because ChatGPT and other LLMs are known for giving really generic advice that you could find with a simple Google search. But it's obvious where it's headed...

    They can introduce effective ads, but they want to be careful about it. There are risks that didn't exist when Adwords came out. In fact, Adwords dealt with a lot of scammy ad buyers for years before cleaning them out. The early days of Facebook ads were like that too. Contrast that with...
