    Getting Trapped In an MLM Camp On Superbowl Sunday

    Agh I hate these schemes so much - you always end up having to try to escape one at every event you go to. They always 'started a business that gives them financial freedom'... who the hell says that lol... people normally tell you what they do... not some sales pitch for 'becoming them'.

    I haven't - back when I set all of mine up (and for a few clients) it wasn't fancy enough/didn't seem to offer web scraping or fine tuning or anything else I wanted. Maybe it's improved since then iono tbh. Now I'm all set up I just use my set up - I do upload to instantly to send though - their...

    Only the first time you do it :) and you'll definitely have it done before you'd have written 200 customisations let alone 1500 even on the first run!

    Scrape the web for information about their businesses at scale. Base the personalisations on that. If you can't devise a prompt that does the personalisations to the quality you'd like, then fine tune the model to write the compliments in the style you want based on the actual information you...

    You see the problem though/why you have to sell them on the idea of what you need to do somehow in the email not be vague though right? You're an automation guy and I'm telling you that you need to automate customising your emails but I didn't give enough proof that you should do it so despite...

    I think when you're an AI agency selling AI services you should be automating things like personalisations in your outreach emails etc. You should 'know' in the email what their store actually does not just a typical generic spam cold email starter of 'I really loved your site' which is what bad...

    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...

    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...

    Can you link to the threads so I can find them easily.

    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...

    What are your thoughts on an SEO contracting business?

    IDEA 
    Many of our customers are SEO 'agencies' who do exactly what you're proposing. They buy links from us, content from some content agency, web design from an outsourced design firm etc, occasionally use a freelancer to do technical reports/analysis etc (but usually end up doing that part in-house...

    HOT! CHAT 
    - 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).
