    Has AI killed the software business dream?

    - AI - 
    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.

    Has AI killed the software business dream?

    - AI - 
    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...

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    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?

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    I'll be curious if AI Andy tells you anything different from what a standard ChatGPT chat does. Just let me know if that ever happens.

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    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.

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    Remind me later to send you a link to AI Andy. It's helped a few people get their first lead with Google Ads, having never touched it before. Oh, and you didn't need to get conversion tracking implemented to start. Use manual bids and set the bid price the same for all keywords. If you're...

    Coaching a football team

    HEALTH 
    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...

    Coaching a football team

    HEALTH 
    This is NON business related, but I thought some of you might find it fun. I've been coaching a football team for about 3 years. We recently started video recording games (using the club VEO camera). We recorded a couple of our friendlies against the U16 team (we're U17 and a league below...

    How to Test Business Ideas Quickly & Cheaply - with Google Ads

    MARKETING 
    Mostly. Sometimes we don't, but I recommend anyone who isn't an expert to use the SKAG structure. We have to use 3 headlines, and we pin headline 1, and sometimes headline 2. We put what they're looking for into the left of the headline. Yes, the rank of our ads as poor. Most Google Ads...

    Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?

    GOLD! HOT! CHAT 
    I sometimes wonder how many words I've written in the forum in the last 12 years. I'm pretty sure I'm a much better writer now than when I joined. I'm not sure how we'd judged I've improved, but I think it must be inevitable, when you write in a live community and get instant feedback/confusion...

    I agree. Creativity is a superpower and will still be. I also mentioned earlier that data (and what we do with it) will be part of our moat. What we learn from our customers and how they interact with our products/services isn't something others can just reverse engineer. @MJ DeMarco polled...
