@eliquid thanks for doing the AMA!

Lets Imagine your wife had started a little tutoring business to help kids/teenagers to get better grades at school and she asks for your help. She needs new customers (the customers are usually the parents not the kids).

How would you go about using online marketing to jumpstart her business?

I'd prob start with Google.

People with that problem are searching online for tutors and also answers to those problems. Like math answers, chemistry, etc.

Keywords with Google search and also YouTube video on how to solve.

So i'd set up Google search ppc and also youtube instructional videos to run ads to as well.

However, I think with your specific industry, ChatGPT is going to be a major competitor... you'd need to find a way to address this and overcome such a challenge on why someone would pick her over ChatGPT
