    Social Media For Brand v Personal

    MARKETING WEB DESIGN 
    Meh to business accounts. I've been using my personal accounts on LinkedIn and Facebook for over a decade. I created but haven't bothered with business accounts/pages - they just don't get any organic reach, and interacting with business pages isn't why people are on those platforms.

    The conversion rate is more often down to bad targeting than the landing page. i. e. you're getting the wrong visitors to the page. @StrikingViper69 changed his campaigns recently and I believe his conversion rate improved. These threads might help: The biggest landing page mistake Google...

    3x Your Productivity With Wispr Flow

    Ah. That's an interesting use case for @MJ DeMarco. Are you find it easier than just rambling to AI with a mic that transcribes as you go along and then getting AI to tidy it up?

    3x Your Productivity With Wispr Flow

    HOT! - AI - 
    If I'm going to have a long ramble with AI then I prefer to use the keyboard mic though, since WisprFlow goes up to the cloud first before it posts the tidied version of what we say. I've had a couple of occasions where a long ramble got lost and didn't post. WisprFlow seems to use a bit of...

    Ah, it's ok. I've started using Photoshop for the first time and I'm creating the character with layers for the arms, eyes, etc. so I have more control.

    Yeah, I tried that. Even when we say "Use the exact character without arms, and with the exact clothing, belt, and tools in the belt." ... it doesn't.

    I've been asked a few times about how I'm getting on with the Google AI tools. I like them because I use a lot of Google tools: Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Meet, Google Sheets/Docs/Slides, etc. After a Google Meet I get Gmailed the transcript as a Google Doc, and Gemini is available in the...

    Yep. Me and my son signed up to OpenArt.ai ... apparently we just upload a reference image and can then use text-to-image or text-to-video to get versions of the image, or animate the image. I uploaded the torso and head of a cartoon character wearing a toolbelt and asked OpenArt to give 3/4...

    3x Your Productivity With Wispr Flow

    HOT! - AI - 
    Exactly this. If we're 4x faster speaking then typing then we can give 4x more info in our prompts in the same time. We also self-edit less when speaking and can get into a flow, and even go with the flow. We can interrupt ourselves and go off on tangents, then come back and finish our...

    3x Your Productivity With Wispr Flow

    HOT! - AI - 
    It's so much faster than typing that I sometimes get slightly annoyed when I have to type on a different laptop where it's not installed. I still write most of my forum posts on my phone keyboard as I don't talk as succinctly as I speak. I use WisprFlow a lot on my phone or desktop for things...

    I see loads of funny and entertaining videos. It actually annoys me that I might be watching YouTube shorts about a certain topic I'm trying to learn, and after a handful of relevant videos YouTube then shows me funny and entertaining videos and sucks me in. "The internet is just one big lead...

    Interesting. I think Google Ads is simple enough. I'm curious how this will make your business a lot simpler too.

    Why SF rental properties are bad investments, and why Fastlane is the better alternative

    HOT! REAL ESTATE 
    Yep. This is true for any business, and it's where AI often breaks down. It gives the advice that's most commonly spouted online, rather than the advice from people on the edge - who are typically too busy practitioning* to be telling everyone exactly how and why they do what they do. * If...

    I've not tried Claude Projects. I'm actually trying to stick to Google's suite of AI products. The only reason I signed back up to paid ChatGPT, or even that I'm using ChatGPT, is for a custom GPT that I was using for free but ran out of credits with on the first session using it. Congrats on...

    @StrikingViper69 ... How much better is Google Ads when you focus on putting search terms in the ads rather than keywords, and when you focus on buyer keywords?

    The #1 Threat to Your Success is Internal...

    NEWSLETTER 
    Is it similar to deciding to do 20 reps of some exercise and struggling to push out the last few so you max out at 20, when you might have done more if you'd decided to do 30? I always wondered about that.

    Anyone Live Streaming?

    I suspect Live Streaming will become more popular to counter all the AI generated content. I was talking to @StrikingViper69 earlier and he does live streams to his community. I've been wondering about live streaming to YouTube. I think I do best when I'm live and making it up as I go along...
