Embracing AI: Friend or Foe?
AI is no longer the stuff of science fiction; it's a reality that's making waves in how we conduct business online. From personalized customer experiences to automated content creation, AI has the potential to revolutionize our approach to online entrepreneurship. But how can we harness this technology to our advantage? That's a question I tackled in our latest podcast episode.
Google Search: Playing by New Rules
Google's search algorithms are constantly changing, and staying ahead of the curve is crucial for online visibility. In 2024, we can expect even more updates that will challenge the way we think about SEO and content creation. I've shared some cutting-edge strategies to ensure your blog remains at the top of search results, no matter what Google throws our way.
The Cookie Crumbles: A Post-Third-Party World
The digital marketing world is bracing for the impact of third-party cookies being phased out. This change will fundamentally alter how we track user behavior and target our advertising.

- Build Your Personal Brand: Establish yourself as a thought leader in your niche. A strong personal brand can open doors and create opportunities.
- Develop and Sell Digital Products and Services: Create scalable products like courses, ebooks, or consulting services that can generate revenue without constant hands-on work.
- Leverage AI for New Skills: Embrace AI tools to enhance your capabilities, whether it's for content creation, data analysis, or customer service. Then see if you have AI skills that you can offer as a service to others.
