    Exactly. Learn from taking action, then assessing. It's Act, Assess, Adjust, not Assess, Adjust, Act. Too many people navel gazing thinking that's helping them.

    Piano's Progress Thread number #2137: Google Ads!

    EXECUTION 
    I mostly use YouTube as free hosting for videos and I have all sorts of different videos up on my channel. What's interesting is that a video from 3 months ago that's under 5 minutes and had only 60 views at the time actually brought a lead and a new client last week. View...

    One of our sons is homeschooling because he can't stand being in a class with other lads messing when he's trying to pay attention. He also can't stand that the teacher takes so long to explain stuff when he could have just gone online and learnt it in 5 minutes. He'll sit and edit videos for 8...

    Wtf?!? I'd never heard of this company and now it shows up in my Google homepage feed? Palantir’s billionaire CEO says only two kinds of people will succeed in the AI era: trade workers—‘or you’re neurodivergent’ | Fortune

    We can go from idea to testing the idea so much faster now. Does that mean all those tests will succeed? No, it means whoever cycles through Act, Assess, Adjust faster and better will succeed. And AI has shortened the time to cycle through. I'm reminded of the line I keep telling people...

    @Levit ... try this little exercise. Say the following and see how you feel after each. I'm a software engineer with 15 years experience but AI is making it easier to create software. v I'm a software engineer with 15 years experience and AI is making it easier to create software.

    Oh I agree. Folks are too quick to abandon the skills that keep a roof over their head, instead of figuring out how to leverage them.

    I'd bet on the business owner because they can hire the techie, but it doesn't really matter - both can win big, especially with AI. Techies who want to earn money need to get better at, guess what, earning money.

    I don't actually think tech people are in the best position to leverage AI. Tech people are good at building stuff and are typically employed by business owners. Business owners are better at generating revenue than tech folks because that's what they specialise in: building businesses and...

    Make sure you look at your search terms and go and check out my thread on how to read Google Ads metrics or videos. I think they're linked to in the shortest video tutorial thread?

    No. Manual bids, not maximise clicks. Google hides it away. This video will help. The interface has changed a little bit but the principles are the same. https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/the-shortest-google-ads-tutorial-ever.109387/

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    At the start, use manual bids not maximise clicks. When you compare impression share metrics, position metrics, etc., across all your keywords, you want to know that you're comparing apples with apples and what the bid price was for those metrics.

    The club bought the camera and tripod. They haven't paid for the subscription for their AI software though. Instead, I imported the MP4 into In-Play Online and manually tagged parts I wanted to clip. I think the act of watching and tagging really helped me pay attention and spot things we'd...
