    Growing An Automation Business

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    This just shows something really important for all of us to think about when trying to think of 'what we can solve for many people' - especially if we're used to coding and automating things for ourselves - we tend to forget there's people still manually putting things in spreadsheets and...

    Growing An Automation Business

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    I had a little break from the forum (and forums generally) to focus on what I wanted to do next after some challenges in the SEO space last year and it's great to come back and see Andy still delivering pure gold!! It's also funny that I'm in some automation and AI communities online and the...

    Using AI to generate leads

    IDEA 
    Script/code. I have a few for different purposes. Usually able customise one of those up for the job in hand - that's why I was able to do a quick look at what could be grabbed off a job site without much time spent. Improvements ofc if it was a real project would be figuring out what speed...

    Using AI to generate leads

    IDEA 
    While you could use an LLM / AI for that I think it would be a bit like firing a nuke to sink a small fishing boat unless the jobs are very difficult to categorize/tell apart using more basic NLP techniques or libraries. I used the most basic set up possible on an example UK jobs site just to...

    Using AI to generate leads

    IDEA 
    True I've had a script since 2010 when I started my SEO business but AI has added lots of functionality (personalizing outreach for me etc) that wasn't possible before. It also keeps coming up with new angles to search for etc etc which sure humans can do and keyword tools can do but it's...

    Using AI to generate leads

    IDEA 
    Yeah it's more of a using the AI within a script than using a GPT though if you're doing it at scale - GPTs can only perform actions for a 'little while' so you'd have to sit there typing 'continue' over and over as it found like 10 sites at a time or something. You could probably make it do it...

    What are Some Other Ways to get Businesses to Make More Besides Web Design?

    QUESTION 
    There's a copywriter on linkedin who shows up in my feed all the time. She just works with webmasters on copy for their client sites. They resell her/mark her up and still make money/sales despite her being expensive. So I'd say copy is a key thing for you to add - but make sure you use someone...

    Consultant from Unscripted

    MINDSET SLOWLANE SCALING 
    I'd look to understand how the big consultancies work. The partners just sign off on work their graduate word monkeys generate etc. Obviously because they're huge the products they offer are 'infinite' - they'll just take any money for anything. But getting started you probably want to think...

    ChatGPT AI is a huge breakthrough, a Google killer

    - AI - 
    - write job descriptions? It would be pretty fine for this/definitely save time. - hire / screen people You'd have to make sure your prompt was spot on but you could easily feed it 100s of CVs/Resumes and cover letters and have it compare those to your list of requirements and have it give...

    Anyone free Manchester (UK) 21st (22nd/3rd also about but less)

    MEETUPS 
    Hey - if anyone is about in Manchester evening of the 21st would be great to meet up for a bite to eat! I'm about lunchtime on the 22nd too and on/off the next day (I'm attending a couple of events in the city and getting in the evening before to save hassle hence being at a loose end on the 21st).

    Where to move in the UK for maximum entrepreneurial opportunities? Seeking advice from the experts and beginners like m. I am in MJ's early situation.

    PEOPLE EXECUTION QUESTION 
    When you know nobody and have no reputation/online social impact networks are built in real life. So like I said you'll have to get out and about and meet people. Everyone is busy - and I know I'm disproving that by replying here, but despite not posting here much the books and this forum have...

    Where to move in the UK for maximum entrepreneurial opportunities? Seeking advice from the experts and beginners like m. I am in MJ's early situation.

    PEOPLE EXECUTION QUESTION 
    I wouldn't let you current circle put you off - there's a lot of entrepreneurship in the UK. Perhaps less than the US when everyone who works construction secretly dreams of starting their construction firm and many more end up doing it as a result of dreaming than we see here. But at your age...

    Which are the Top Backlink gaining activities in 2020 that really works?

    MARKETING 
    You do have a challenge building links to a digital marketing course unless your course is amazing and gets links by itself due to industry exposure/your brand (this does happen with a couple of SEO courses I know of, for example). Simply your challenge is that your target market to typically...

    Local Service Businesses - How to Get More Customers

    FWIW local SEO is still very very very easy compared to national. Just following a few local SEO guides and banging the work out will almost certainly get you 'something' in exchange for <10 hours work. Easily will pay for itself. I think the main reason it's still so soft in local is that the...

    How much $$$ would you need to significantly change your lifestyle?

    Points and miles has made a positive impact on my lifestyle without the need for an increase in income and despite only having the time to casually get into it so far over the last year. I'm helping a friend (also business owner) get to international conferences as well as the ones we all go...

    How to pitch bloggers/influencers?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Without knowing your specific product it's hard to give specific advice but the two approaches I always take are either straight up: we want to work with you, let me know the deal. Then negotiate from there - always negotiate though. Especially if you are fairly small and your product is...

    Best way to get your site up in Google search?

    MARKETING 
    I'll preface this with 'of course I'd say that given what I do for a living'. And admit that 'of course you have to take my word for it that I don't secretly love Google PPC'. But we've not run a single $ in search ads for our own sites in nearly a decade. The truth is for the 'big money...

    How to drive Traffic without SEO/Social media?

    MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    Many years ago I used to run a poker affiliate business (pre UIGEA etc for those of you who remember those days!). It was before I knew much of anything about SEO, and even if I did trying to outrank Rakebacknation or similar would have been a pretty ambitious move. My main game was 'leaking'...
