How would AI-driven search engines (Answer engines) impact website content strategy? This is a question I've been asking myself as I consider the potential impact these search engines may have on organic referral traffic.

If you rely heavily on organic search referrals, you need to start asking this question. Your world may change very soon.

On one hand, we're in the midst of an AI renaissance. Facebook has the reputation of being on the cutting edge of automation, machine learning, and optimization. And yet, they still can't detect and deal with the most basic scams. Why?

The future of AI is both exciting and scary. Some of the scary stuff is based on predictions, and we really don't know what's going to happen. Seriously, I don't know. It's not my expertise. But what absolutely is scary is the required change that is coming. We will need to change how we do business. How we consume content. Even how we live. Everything is going to change super fast. And we don't know exactly what's going to change or how. That's freaky. We can prepare the best we can and pu...

It's okay to admit that you need a little bit of luck. I don't mean that we don't deserve our success. But there's an element of being in the exact right place at the exact right time. As I look back at the 11+ years in my business, I can't help but notice this. But I failed to appreciate it at the time. I was laid off at the end of 2011. I wrote about Facebook ads -- not because I thought it was a smart topic (although it was), but because that's what I knew. I wrote a LOT because that's wha...

In this episode, Jon and JR explore the contradictions related to the way many business partnerships start and why Jon struggles to form them.

I worked with ChatGPT to create a 60-second movie and then I recorded it. Creating this script was a process. I asked ChatGPT some specific questions. I didn't like the initial results. I gave it more instruction. It was a series of many prompts. It's important that you understand that this isn't as simple as telling it to write you a movie and it comes out the way you want it. You have an important role.

If you have anxiety about ChatGPT and AI making your job obsolete, allow me to talk you off of this ledge. Is it scary? Yes. Absolutely. This technology is likely to be more impactful and disruptive than anything we've seen since the birth of the internet. That's scary. But think back to the advent of the internet. Think back to how business was done prior to that point. It was different. Was the internet scary? Yes! Your clients suddenly had access to all of the information in the world. Al...

Jon and Luke discuss the potential impact and use cases of ChatGPT and AI during this incredible time of discovery, innovation, and change.

Much of the criticism and skepticism in reaction to ChatGPT and AI is misplaced due to a misunderstanding of its value and purpose. Let's shed some light on how you should look at it...

This is a question I get a lot. Should you update your creative every couple of weeks? Every month? How can you avoid ad creative fatigue? There are three factors to consider.

The most common question I get these days is how I edit my videos. In some cases, I think the question is misguided. But I explain what I do here...

If you're an entrepreneur, this is a critical time of the year. Start 2023 by doing these five things.

You should have revenue and KPI goals. But first, you need to establish content marketing production goals. If you accomplish them, you'll be more likely to reach those KPI goals.
