00:00:31
of the your Digital Marketing Coach podcast.

00:00:35
Speaker 2: Digital social media content, influencer marketing,

00:00:38
blogging, podcasting, vlogging, tiktoking, linkedin, twitter,

00:00:42
facebook, instagram, youtube, seo, sem, ppc, email marketing

00:00:50
there's a lot to cover.

00:00:51
Whether you're a marketing professional, entrepreneur or

00:00:54
business owner, you need someone you can rely on for expert

00:00:58
advice.

00:00:59
Good thing you've got Neil on your side, because Neil Schaefer

00:01:04
is your digital marketing coach .

00:01:08
Helping you grow your business with digital first marketing,

00:01:14
one episode at a time.

00:01:15
This is your digital marketing coach and this is Neil Schafer.

00:01:23
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, this is your digital marketing coach,

00:01:26
neil Schafer, and welcome to episode number 366 of this

00:01:31
podcast.

00:01:31
If you're curious, I used to publish on a certain day of the

00:01:35
week, but there are certain times, like when I am on

00:01:38
business or personal travel, where sometimes I don't have any

00:01:41
gas left in the tank and this isn't an electric car, so I

00:01:44
can't plug it in and churn out a podcast episode ASAP.

00:01:48
So there are weeks where I go by without podcasting.

00:01:51
Now it is my commitment to you, my listener, that every year I

00:01:55
record 50 episodes and with the current schedule, you're going

00:01:59
to see me scheduling on different days pretty much at an

00:02:02
every six day or so pace.

00:02:04
So if you haven't seen a new episode from me in a while, rest

00:02:08
assured, within a week it'll pop up.

00:02:10
And don't be surprised if it pops up at a random day of the

00:02:13
week.

00:02:13
I only publish on weekdays.

00:02:15
You're not going to see them on weekends, but I just want to

00:02:17
let you know that in advance, just between me and you.

00:02:19
It's not easy, you know, recording podcasts and I do like

00:02:26
to stay in the here and now.

00:02:27
I don't want to record these like six months ago.

00:02:28
I want to give you the latest up-to-date industry information

00:02:30
as well as personal information about how things are going and

00:02:33
the way I see things.

00:02:34
So that's my disclaimer, in case you are curious.

00:02:37
All right, so before I get into the main topic, some quick

00:02:41
industry news updates and with social media, I think that we

00:02:45
are still in an interesting area where I'm starting to see on

00:02:50
LinkedIn it looks like they're starting to crack down a little

00:02:53
bit more on spam commenting.

00:02:55
It said that only your connections can comment on it,

00:03:07
which normally was some sort of setting in your privacy settings

00:03:09
, but they may be tinkering with trying to reduce the gaming of

00:03:10
comments and engagement that we see on some people's LinkedIn

00:03:14
posts Not going to name names here Threads I am really

00:03:19
enjoying.

00:03:19
I think I mentioned last podcast .

00:03:20
I've been spending a little bit more time there.

00:03:22
I do use SocialBee.

00:03:23
Go to neilschafercom slash socialbee for a special deal and

00:03:29
I do use that to basically create my thread in SocialBee

00:03:33
and then I get the notification with the SocialBee app on my

00:03:37
iPhone and it's just really easy .

00:03:38
It takes 15 seconds to post at the threads, so that's allowed

00:03:41
me to post on threads daily and I'm really enjoying the

00:03:44
conversations there and the people that I'm having them with

00:03:46
as well.

00:03:47
So you can find me, obviously, on threads Neil Schaefer, my

00:03:50
username everywhere N-E-A-L-S-C-H-A-F-F-E-R.

00:03:53
Love to hear from you there.

00:03:55
Tiktok social commerce continues to boom.

00:03:58
Obviously, we don't know what's going to happen with the band,

00:04:00
but I am still going all in on TikTok.

00:04:02
I'm creating a sponsored blog post and video on how to launch

00:04:07
your first TikTok ad campaign and I can't wait to share that

00:04:10
with you.

00:04:10
Once it's done, I hope to record it literally right after

00:04:13
I'm done recording this podcast episode.

00:04:15
So be on the lookout for that soon and I hope it's going to

00:04:17
help a lot of you and, in addition to that, I think, all

00:04:21
the other news.

00:04:21
There are some news around this leak of the Google algorithm

00:04:26
documentation.

00:04:27
If you do a search for Google algorithm document leak, you'll

00:04:31
see some information about this.

00:04:32
Rand Fishkin, the co-founder of Moz, has had an interesting

00:04:36
article on this.

00:04:37
We're starting to see more and more articles about hey, here's

00:04:40
how the algorithm works and here is how you can write more

00:04:43
optimized SEO content for it.

00:04:45
You know, I think that if we are in the mindset of trying to

00:04:50
dupe the algorithm, I don't think we're going to be

00:04:51
successful.

00:04:52
There is a lot of value in blogging and having long form

00:04:55
content outside of SEO, but where there are ways that we can

00:04:58
adapt our best practices to Google best practices.

00:05:01
That is a win-win, and Google has been very clear from day one

00:05:06
write quality content.

00:05:08
Obviously, they prefer that that content is original, it is

00:05:13
based on your expertise and your experience, and that is really

00:05:17
the best advice.

00:05:18
What's interesting is that Rand , in his article about the

00:05:23
Google leak, said you know, SEO has turned more and more into

00:05:27
are you a well-known brand or not?

00:05:28
And if you're not a well-known brand, it's just harder and

00:05:31
harder to rank.

00:05:32
And I really feel that sentiment with the most recent

00:05:35
changes, where it seemed like the more famous brands had an

00:05:39
increase in rankings and traffic , whereas the lesser known

00:05:42
brands including my own brand, when I'm compared to a HubSpot

00:05:45
or a Buffer seem to have lost a lot of momentum.

00:05:48
So just something to think about.

00:05:49
Either way, we still have this need for long form content,

00:05:52
which I am all about evangelizing.

00:05:55
The other updates really come from the world of AI, and when I

00:05:58
get into my talk for today, I'm going to talk a little bit more

00:06:01
about some of those.

00:06:02
Just every week it seems there are major developments, and it

00:06:05
may not be specific to generative AI for marketing, but

00:06:08
there are things that you really need to be aware of from

00:06:11
a business and professional perspective.

00:06:13
On my personal update, I am getting closer to launching that

00:06:17
Kickstarter for my new book.

00:06:19
It is currently in a state where I'm still collecting those

00:06:24
endorsements.

00:06:24
It is currently in a state where I'm still collecting those

00:06:26
endorsements, and once those are done which I'm hoping in the

00:06:28
next week I will be able to finalize the interior, which is

00:06:31
going to include the advanced praise and then the back cover.

00:06:34
In a parallel, I plan to launch a pre-launch window of a few

00:06:38
weeks to get email addresses that will be announced or that

00:06:42
will get notification when I actually launch the campaign.

00:06:45
So I'm currently working with my graphic designer on creating

00:06:48
some imagery that I'm going to be including in the landing page

00:06:51
.

00:06:51
As you'll hear in this upcoming main section of the podcast, I

00:06:56
have already determined what the tiers for the Kickstarter are

00:06:59
going to be.

00:06:59
You know how much is what going to cost?

00:07:02
What are you going to receive?

00:07:03
So once I have these images created, I really should be good

00:07:06
to go to submit that to Kickstarter and hopefully in a

00:07:08
few business days I will have a pre-launch form for you to fill

00:07:12
out.

00:07:12
And what's important about the pre-launch is there will be

00:07:15
early bird specials.

00:07:15
So you're going to want to make sure that if you want to back

00:07:19
the campaign, you do so on the first day.

00:07:20
It will be to your benefit.

00:07:22
Do so on the first day, it will be to your benefit and I'll be

00:07:25
introducing those a little bit later.

00:07:26
I'm really encouraged by the endorsements that I continue to

00:07:27
receive from people authors and influencers that I have the

00:07:31
highest respect for that have already reviewed the advanced

00:07:34
reading copy.

00:07:34
These will be part of the book, maybe back cover, but I want to

00:07:37
share with you.

00:07:38
Today I got my latest endorsement from no other than

00:07:41
Anne Hanley, who is the Wall Street Journal bestselling

00:07:43
author of Everybody Writes and CCO of Marketing Profs and one

00:07:49
of the co-founders of Marketing Profs, if I'm not mistaken.

00:07:51
Very short, but Neil's new book is your accessible, actionable

00:07:55
guide to what matters most in modern marketing.

00:07:57
Really excited to get the book out.

00:08:00
It is coming, stay tuned.

00:08:02
And on other notes, because you're listening to this on a

00:08:05
podcast player, I was also recently a guest on Phil Palin's

00:08:09
Brand Therapy podcast.

00:08:12
Phil is a branding expert.

00:08:14
He is also a fellow Adobe Express ambassador a great guy

00:08:18
that I've gotten to know through seeing him at all the Adobe Max

00:08:20
events, and I was featured in an interview on episode number

00:08:25
213.

00:08:26
Why does human content outrank AI in the digital space?

00:08:30
Something to think about, especially as I go through this

00:08:34
episode.

00:08:34
So do a search for brand therapy and you will be able to

00:08:38
find the podcast and I am episode number 213.

00:08:41
So I want to give Phil and that a shout out, and when I'm a

00:08:44
guest on other podcasts, I will definitely let you know.

00:08:46
In the future, especially with the upcoming launch of my book,

00:08:50
I do plan to be more proactive in trying to get onto more

00:08:52
podcasts as part of the book marketing right.

00:08:54
And if you're curious, when I launched Age of Influence or

00:08:59
should I say when I published the Age of Influence I was on a

00:09:01
hundred different podcast episodes and recorded a podcast

00:09:03
episode about being on 100 different podcasts quite meta,

00:09:06
but you can go back into my 2020 podcast episodes and you'll be

00:09:11
able to find out about that.

00:09:12
It still is a very, very effective way, not just for

00:09:15
authors but for businesses, to get the word out about what

00:09:17
they're doing, all right.

00:09:19
So I wanted to share with you another AI episode and I thought

00:09:23
that it would be really cool to just let you know how I use AI,

00:09:29
and this was brought upon me for a few reasons.

00:09:33
First of all, today I had a really interesting response to a

00:09:38
tweet that I posted.

00:09:39
Yes, I still call it tweet.

00:09:40
I'm still on Twitter.

00:09:40
Twitter is where I tend to share the most industry news, so

00:09:44
if you're interested in my perspective on the industry,

00:09:46
like I gave you in the intro to this podcast episode, make sure

00:09:50
you follow me there.

00:09:51
Twittercom, slash neilschafer, which will obviously re-forward

00:09:55
to xcom, slash neilschafer and I shared information about

00:10:01
Perplexity AI and a new press release they had for a new

00:10:05
feature, perplexityai or Perplexity AI.

00:10:08
I've talked about them before on the show they are.

00:10:10
If you're thinking about using AI just purely as a search

00:10:13
engine, they have really emerged as a really, really interesting

00:10:16
tool that you should definitely check out.

00:10:18
So my tweet I want to share with you because I said cool,

00:10:21
perplexity AI launched a tool to turn research into content

00:10:25
effortlessly.

00:10:25
It streamlines content creation by transforming research data

00:10:30
into coherent articles, boosting productivity for creators and

00:10:34
researchers, and then I shared the link.

00:10:36
This is an article from readwritecom, a very

00:10:39
authoritative source I trust, and I was really surprised when

00:10:42
I got this comment today, this morning, which is actually

00:10:45
prompting this podcast episode, which said, quote you cheer

00:10:49
laziness, question mark Wow.

00:10:51
And I thought how well bizarre that the comment was.

00:10:56
I also understand that some people still think that

00:11:00
everything we generate from now on is just going to be 100% AI

00:11:03
generated, with no human interaction.

00:11:04
I'm going to press a button and then boom, all of the

00:11:11
information will be processed and I can just sit back and be

00:11:12
lazy, and I think that cannot be farther from the truth.

00:11:14
And that is one of the reasons why I really want to record this

00:11:16
episode so that you understand even Microsoft is using the word

00:11:20
co-pilot and I'm going to talk a little bit about Microsoft in

00:11:22
a second that these AI tools are not the masters of our domain.

00:11:31
They're the interns, they're the volunteers, they are the

00:11:33
workers who work 24-7, who don't take time off, they are our

00:11:35
assistants, our virtual assistants.

00:11:37
You can name them whenever you want.

00:11:38
We are still the masters of our domain and it is how you use

00:11:43
these and when you use these tools that is going to

00:11:45
differentiate one professional from another and one business

00:11:48
from another.

00:11:49
And I talked about Microsoft.

00:11:51
So Microsoft just made this huge announcement that the

00:11:54
Windows PC is going to have AI support.

00:11:57
I think it's going to have a dedicated AI key to launch

00:12:00
Microsoft Copilot.

00:12:01
Ai is going to be an integral part of Windows, of not just the

00:12:05
software, but the hardware AI acceleration.

00:12:07
So that is the first revolution in the PC since the internet.

00:12:11
And then just today, as I record this and I'm recording

00:12:14
this, on Monday, june 10th Apple announced that generative AI is

00:12:17
going to not just be part of Siri, but part of iOS and future

00:12:21
Apple devices, and it's an absolute no-brainer.

00:12:24
We are becoming that much more dependent on AI today, like we

00:12:29
became dependent on the internet some time ago.

00:12:32
It is really the same thing.

00:12:33
So AI is here, ai is now.

00:12:37
I want you to think about how you use AI to make you smarter

00:12:41
and make you work smarter, and not harder.

00:12:44
That is what this is about.

00:12:46
It's not about laziness.

00:12:47
It's about our time on earth is limited, is precious.

00:12:52
I mean, would you rather spend more time working or hanging out

00:12:56
with your friends or with your family or doing something that

00:12:58
you truly love, even if you love your work like I do?

00:13:00
So that's really what this is about.

00:13:02
It's about freeing us up to do higher strategic items or maybe

00:13:07
to be able to create a little bit more time for ourselves and

00:13:09
for our lives, and I want you to remember that because I think

00:13:11
that's a really important driver , at least for me.

00:13:14
When I look at these AI tools and, like I said, it reminds me

00:13:18
of the days when the internet emerged.

00:13:20
And this is where I always think that Gen Xers and baby

00:13:23
boomers actually have an advantage, because they can

00:13:25
think holistically about these technologies, because we

00:13:28
remember the world before these technologies, like before email

00:13:31
addresses, before smartphones, and I can go on and on.

00:13:33
But it really reminds me of the days when the internet emerged.

00:13:36
Imagine someone spending time looking for and finding relevant

00:13:41
information for an hour a day versus someone that doesn't.

00:13:44
And at the time people are like you're going to do research on

00:13:47
the internet, are you crazy?

00:13:48
Go to the library.

00:13:49
We laugh now, but just think of the difference of just how much

00:13:53
information you could absorb and find efficiently compared to

00:13:59
older ways of doing it.

00:14:00
You can see how huge this difference over time.

00:14:03
And yes, back then people were saying you couldn't believe

00:14:06
anything you saw on the internet .

00:14:07
And there's still some people that are heavy consumers of

00:14:12
information on the internet, but they're saying the same thing

00:14:14
about AI, right?

00:14:15
It is the same thing, right.

00:14:17
We can spend time Googling or we can look at the generative AI

00:14:22
search results from Google and we can just find that much more

00:14:26
information quicker.

00:14:27
Is it better information?

00:14:28
I don't know.

00:14:29
You still have to have a holistic perspective and an

00:14:32
analytical perspective on how you consume and what information

00:14:36
you consume, and that's as true with AI as it is with the

00:14:39
internet and with social media.

00:14:40
But those that use it and those that figure out how to use it

00:14:46
are going to be at a strategic advantage going forward, and

00:14:48
they will benefit their businesses as well, I think

00:14:51
businesses going forward.

00:14:52
It would not surprise me if one of the interview questions is

00:14:56
well, how are you using AI right now?

00:14:58
How well do you know it?

00:14:59
And that's really the purpose of this episode.

00:15:01
Now, obviously, you're going to get a lot of marketing ideas

00:15:04
from how I use it, but that's how I want to preface this and

00:15:06
give you the background on why I'm talking about it and why it

00:15:09
is so important.

00:15:10
So I also mentioned recently that, instead of using all these

00:15:14
marketing specific tools, I've decided just to go to chat GPT

00:15:19
with the release of 4.0 and start a paid account there.

00:15:23
I'm not on cloudai yet.

00:15:25
I do plan to be trying that out as well in the not so distant

00:15:28
future.

00:15:29
But since I have gone on the chat GPT, I have not felt

00:15:32
limited by some of these other tools that are there for

00:15:35
specific purposes and since it's paid, I can get the best

00:15:39
information possible fastest, most accurate, most up-to-date.

00:15:44
So $20 a month is an absolute no-brainer.

00:15:48
It reminds me of the days where you know $10 a month to hook up

00:15:52
to the internet, right DSL modem.

00:15:54
We're living in the same age.

00:15:55
This is a no-brainer expense a $20 a month.

00:15:58
So, as I begun using ChatGPT, I want to share with you and I

00:16:03
just started using ChatGPT.

00:16:04
Like I said, I used to use all these other different tools

00:16:11
which I still use, and that might be a title of another

00:16:12
episode to give you an update on what I've been doing with those

00:16:14
.

00:16:14
But this is really to hopefully inspire you as to ways that you

00:16:16
can use ChatGPT or AI, but also to further give you an

00:16:20
understanding of this co-creation that it is still the

00:16:22
human in charge.

00:16:23
It's the human on the outside and AI on the inside that it is

00:16:25
still the human in charge.

00:16:25
It's the human on the outside and AI on the inside.

00:16:27
So let me just you know very briefly I'm going to go through

00:16:29
these 21 different ways.

00:16:32
I use ChatGPD.

00:16:33
I'm not going to share the exact prompts.

00:16:34
That might be a stretch goal for my upcoming Kickstarter

00:16:37
campaign.

00:16:38
So if you're interested, please do reach out and let me know.

00:16:40
But let's get started here.

00:16:42
So, number one I'll give these numbers that, if you want to

00:16:45
skip ahead, you'll know what number you might've missed.

00:16:47
So, number one create a YouTube video script from a blog post.

00:16:51
I think one of the trends that we're seeing in SEO, with

00:16:56
Google's generative search and preference for big brands, is

00:16:59
that a lot of brands now are looking into creating more video

00:17:02
.

00:17:02
Ai is getting closer with video , but there's nothing like a

00:17:05
human face for a long form YouTube video or a short form,

00:17:09
tiktok, instagram reel, youtube short, and those can be shared

00:17:12
on LinkedIn and Twitter and Facebook as well, and Pinterest

00:17:15
for that matter.

00:17:15
So AI is really good at processing information and

00:17:22
repurposing it into different formats and adding a little bit

00:17:26
more context where you might lack it, let's put it that way.

00:17:29
So I found I have yet to use this for a video per se, but I

00:17:34
did find it really, really interesting that you know this

00:17:37
is based on my content, right my blog posts that I have uploaded

00:17:43
or shared the URL, and letting them know what I want to talk

00:17:47
about in the video.

00:17:50
And having to create what would that look like if it was a video

00:17:52
script?

00:17:52
I would never record a video 100% from a script that AI

00:17:56
generates, because it's not going to sound like me, right?

00:17:58
No matter how much of the tone we try to add through AI tools,

00:18:02
through prompts, it is still not me.

00:18:03
So there's always going to be revision, but it is a great

00:18:06
starting point, right.

00:18:07
It gets me over the hump as to, well, what the heck am I going

00:18:11
to talk about?

00:18:11
I don't want to read the blog post verbatim, although I have

00:18:14
done that in past podcast episodes.

00:18:16
I have read a blog post verbatim into audio.

00:18:19
I'm not a big fan of that, right, so it's taking that

00:18:21
script and making something of it.

00:18:23
So, like I said, I've yet to record that video.

00:18:25
I'll let you know when I do, but that is an easy way of using

00:18:29
AI and, I think, a really compelling way of using it.

00:18:31
All right.

00:18:32
Number two, and I was inspired by this by a webinar that Jasper

00:18:36
did.

00:18:37
So Jasper, the person in charge of SEO there, was on a webinar

00:18:42
and she was talking about the ways that she uses her own AI

00:18:46
tool, and there were basically two ways.

00:18:48
One was looking for ways to refresh a blog post.

00:18:51
So once you've built your library of content, you want to

00:18:53
revise it over time as new technologies, new trends, new

00:18:57
concepts appear.

00:18:57
So she was using AI to sort of hey, what are some other things?

00:19:01
Looking at the top search results, what are some other

00:19:03
things that we can utilize to flesh out the content and make

00:19:06
it more up to date in our revision, which is a great way

00:19:08
of using AI as well.

00:19:09
But the other way, she said, was creating an SEO content

00:19:12
brief for her writers.

00:19:14
Now, I also use writers in my business and, to be honest with

00:19:19
you, I used to outsource the creation of creating an SEO

00:19:22
content brief.

00:19:23
But after seeing how Jasper did it and creating my own little

00:19:27
prompt in ChatGPT, it allowed me to create what I thought was a

00:19:31
better SEO content brief.

00:19:32
In other words, before, sort of like an outline, before writing

00:19:35
a blog post, what are the things that I want to make sure

00:19:38
that I cover right?

00:19:39
And that, to me is the content brief.

00:19:41
It's the outline, right, but it's also optimized for SEO.

00:19:44
This is a really compelling way of leveraging AI is to create a

00:19:48
content outline or, if you use external writers, a content

00:19:51
brief that is up to SEO, optimized.

00:19:53
All right, that was number two.

00:19:55
Number three part of leveraging ChatGPT is also to learn things

00:19:59
.

00:20:00
It is, to me, a more sophisticated search engine.

00:20:02
It doesn't replace the search engine, but there are some times

00:20:05
where I find, because I can go back and forth with it in a

00:20:07
conversation and fine tune things, I find that I get a

00:20:10
better result.

00:20:11
So one of these was basically recommending a book about

00:20:16
Kickstarter for authors.

00:20:17
So I am an author.

00:20:19
I plan on launching my first Kickstarter.

00:20:20
I wanted to buy one or two definitive books about the

00:20:23
subject.

00:20:23
So it came out with five books and I had already done a search

00:20:27
on Google for books and Amazon for books I was interested in

00:20:31
and it did not include one book that I was wondering what it

00:20:34
thought about.

00:20:34
So I said, hey, if you were going to include this book in

00:20:37
this list of recommended five books, where would you add it?

00:20:39
And it added it at number two, right?

00:20:41
So for whatever reason, it was using out of date information or

00:20:44
maybe information that, for whatever search it was doing, it

00:20:48
couldn't find it.

00:20:49
I don't know right, but when I add these things and I'm going

00:20:51
to give you another example of how I did that it will re-rank

00:20:54
it and sometimes the ranking will be good.

00:20:56
Sometimes it won't be good, but it puts it on ChatGPT's radar

00:21:00
as well and it helps improve the result of your search results.

00:21:04
Improve the result of your search results.

00:21:05
So I recommend, if you don't see something there, when you

00:21:08
ask for a list of something, ask it to re-rank based on your own

00:21:12
inputs.

00:21:12
All right.

00:21:14
Number four this is a funny one because it deals directly with

00:21:18
my upcoming book Recommend top digital marketing authors to ask

00:21:23
for book endorsements on.

00:21:24
Yes, I asked ChatGPT.

00:21:26
I have lots of friends, acquaintances, that are also

00:21:36
authors and I wanted to create a prioritized order as to who I

00:21:37
should reach out to, maybe some people that I don't know that

00:21:38
well, who should I reach out to as well?

00:21:39
So you'll be interesting to hear that the top 10 influencers

00:21:45
that ChatGPT chose, I'll let you know, right?

00:21:48
So?

00:21:48
Number one Gary Vaynerchuk duh.

00:21:50
Number two Seth Godin duh.

00:21:52
Number three Neil Patel, which is interesting because I was

00:21:55
asking for authors.

00:21:56
I think he's co-authored a book , but he's really not an author.

00:21:59
Number four Anne Handley.

00:22:01
Number five Rand Fishkin from Moz.

00:22:03
Number six Michael Stelzner, social media examiner and social

00:22:06
media marketing world.

00:22:07
Number seven Brian Solis.

00:22:08
Number eight Mari Smith.

00:22:09
Number nine Chris Brogan.

00:22:11
Number 10, jay Baer.

00:22:13
If I ask it the same thing today , it may give me another number,

00:22:16
I don't know.

00:22:17
And then I asked it to say, hey , please give me 10 more, 15

00:22:21
more, and I basically created a list of the top 50 and saw how

00:22:24
many in there that I knew and then, where there were other

00:22:27
people that I thought that should be added, I asked it to

00:22:29
re-rank, so I ended up getting a list of like 65 and then

00:22:32
basically working off the top 50 and seeing who I could reach

00:22:35
out to, who I should reach out to, who I want to try to reach

00:22:38
out to as part of asking people to endorse the book.

00:22:42
Interestingly enough, my name was not included until I asked

00:22:45
to add it and I ended up at being number.

00:22:48
Let's see here, number 26.

00:22:50
So, hey, I'll take it, but nevertheless, really, really

00:22:53
interesting exercise that this is something that if I did a

00:22:56
Google search, it would just provide me with all these

00:22:58
different listicles that I would have to organize myself.

00:23:01
Chatgpt makes it convenient.

00:23:03
Is it accurate?

00:23:03
Of course it's not 100% accurate, but it is better time

00:23:08
spent than spending a few hours trying to research this

00:23:10
according to my own algorithm because, as my Gen Z kids would

00:23:13
say, it is not that deep, it does not require that precise of

00:23:17
a ranking.

00:23:17
So that was a really cool way of using ChatGPT.

00:23:21
Number five organize bullet point topics for a podcast

00:23:25
episode.

00:23:25
So I recently did a podcast episode, which has already been

00:23:29
published, and I knew what I wanted to talk about and I sort

00:23:32
of threw it in there in bullet points, saying hey, this is the

00:23:35
topic that I want to talk about and here are my thoughts about

00:23:39
what I want to talk about.

00:23:40
Please organize these into 10 different sections and flesh out

00:23:44
any other areas where you recommend I should talk about to

00:23:47
make it a comprehensive episode on that topic.

00:23:50
So, once again, it's beginning with my content.

00:23:52
My content is the inspiration and it is organizing the content

00:23:56
but also giving me other ideas.

00:23:57
Some I thought were great, some I didn't use because they were

00:24:00
irrelevant.

00:24:01
But this is how, just like generative AI with Photoshop or

00:24:05
Adobe Express, can fill in a missing background.

00:24:08
Well, chatgpt can do it for you textually as well.

00:24:12
So I thought that was a great way of using it, and I could

00:24:16
have organized bullet point topics for a YouTube video, for

00:24:19
a blog post, for anything but summarizing.

00:24:21
Organizing is a great way to use ChatGPT.

00:24:24
All right, number six how to record an audio book.

00:24:26
So I plan to record an audiobook myself from my home

00:24:30
studio where I am recording this podcast, and I wanted to get

00:24:33
more detailed information on best practices.

00:24:35
And the great thing about ChatGPT, which is different than

00:24:39
using a search engine, is you can go back and forth, right.

00:24:41
So what about in this situation ?

00:24:42
What about my front matter, my back matter?

00:24:45
Do I need to read the table contents?

00:24:46
It all becomes part of the conversation and then, guess

00:24:49
what, I can follow up in that conversation or when I launch a

00:24:52
new conversation, it is already in its database that we've

00:24:55
already had that conversation and so it knows to tap back into

00:24:58
it, and that's going to be really important for other

00:25:00
points I'm going to make, because I'm only at number six

00:25:02
yet we still got 15 more to go.

00:25:08
All right, number seven this is a really interesting use of

00:25:09
ChatGPT, which is creating questions for the hook in my

00:25:13
upcoming Kickstarter campaign.

00:25:15
In other words, what are the pain points, what are the things

00:25:18
that people search for if you're an entrepreneur or a

00:25:20
small business owner or content creator or marketer, and what

00:25:24
are the pain points you have vis-a-vis digital marketing,

00:25:27
digital marketing strategy, digital marketing ROI, et cetera

00:25:30
, et cetera.

00:25:31
It came up with a bunch of different questions and my hook

00:25:34
for the Kickstarter campaign, at the very top, are going to be a

00:25:37
few questions and then, well, if that's you, this book has the

00:25:40
answers.

00:25:40
Right.

00:25:41
It's a very, very common way of creating a landing page

00:25:44
starting with these questions.

00:25:45
So this gave me tons of ideas for questions and, yes, I did

00:25:48
end up using a few of those questions, tweaking them, but it

00:25:51
confirmed a lot of the questions that I was thinking of

00:25:53
and it helped improve my own content.

00:25:56
Number eight so I talked about the power of ChatGPT and how to

00:26:00
organize concepts and things.

00:26:02
So, for a particular blog post that I'm writing about Amazon

00:26:07
seller tools okay, so I have a list of 15 different tools

00:26:11
vendors I plan to blog about and I had an idea of how I wanted

00:26:14
to categorize it, but I thought you know what, let's see what

00:26:17
ChatGPT says.

00:26:18
So I fed it these 15 tools and it organized, I believe, in the

00:26:22
six different categories of types of tools, like repricing

00:26:26
tools, amazon ads management, et cetera, et cetera.

00:26:29
So I could have done it myself and spent 5, 10, 15 minutes, but

00:26:33
it did a really, really good job in like a minute right To

00:26:36
organize these subcategories.

00:26:37
So that's 15 minutes I can spend on the actual content

00:26:40
creation right.

00:26:40
This is how we get to get more of our time back when using AI.

00:26:44
All right, number nine potential endorsements for my book.

00:26:47
So I have had a few people that I reached out to and this is

00:26:52
very common, by the way, that some people are really, really

00:26:54
busy.

00:26:54
They say, neil, I'd love to write an endorsement.

00:26:56
I read the first part.

00:26:57
It looked great.

00:26:58
It would help me out if you could show me some samples and I

00:27:03
can't show samples of other authors until I publish them but

00:27:07
giving them some ideas as to what sort of endorsement they

00:27:10
can write and this is something that I use ChatGPT to help

00:27:12
create Obviously, it created some fictional endorsements that

00:27:16
I then tweaked and approved, and I tried to actually create

00:27:19
them in the voice of the person that was asking, including

00:27:23
keywords that are relevant to their brand, and then I sent

00:27:26
over a few options and, inevitably, the endorser made

00:27:30
some changes and some of them are going to be actual

00:27:32
endorsements for the book.

00:27:34
So, once again, creating this type of short form content based

00:27:38
on knowing the long form content, which is, in this case,

00:27:41
knowing a lot about my book that I've already shared with

00:27:44
ChatGPT this has allowed me to be able to, you know, create a

00:27:49
shortcut for creativity that it would have taken me a long time

00:27:52
to think about on my own, that I was able to prepare Sort of

00:27:55
like you know, hey, here's my new book.

00:27:57
If you want to share it in social media, here's 10 tweets.

00:28:00
Right?

00:28:00
We see a lot of businesses do this with, like brand ambassador

00:28:02
programs for new product launches.

00:28:04
This is a great way to use chat GPTs.

00:28:07
That was number nine.

00:28:08
Number 10, I mentioned that I often use AI to create social

00:28:13
media posts, so Twitter is a great example.

00:28:16
This is a maximum of 280 characters.

00:28:18
I will often have it summarized not only my own blog posts but

00:28:21
third-party blog posts into short little snappy summaries

00:28:25
that then I can tweak, revoice and then share in social media.

00:28:29
So I literally post the URL.

00:28:31
Obviously, there's a prompt that I give it to summarize in

00:28:34
my voice, making sure that it points out the content that's

00:28:37
important for a certain audience , or whether you add hashtags or

00:28:40
not.

00:28:40
There's a lot of different prompts you could give it, but

00:28:43
that's just a no-brainer, really really quick way to get quick

00:28:46
tweets generated and then you decide whether you want to use

00:28:48
them.

00:28:49
And if you use them, use them as is or if you tweak them.

00:28:52
Speaking of that from a content creation perspective, number 11,

00:28:55
blog summaries for my newsletter.

00:28:57
So if you read my newsletter, hopefully you do neilschafercom

00:29:00
slash newsletter to subscribe.

00:29:02
Every week I do share a number of blog posts that I found

00:29:06
compelling in the blogosphere, about different subjects or news

00:29:10
in the industry, as well as my own blog posts.

00:29:12
So I will start with a draft coming from chat GPT as to what

00:29:16
information should I share about these blog posts that then I

00:29:19
can tweak, add to revise, revoice and what have you.

00:29:22
So once again, it is my, my intern, my virtual assistant,

00:29:27
giving me a starting point which then, instead of me spending 15

00:29:30
minutes per article after reading it, I can spend one or

00:29:33
two minutes, once again saving time so that I can do more

00:29:37
important things like human facing, engagement, like

00:29:40
creating this podcast for you.

00:29:42
Number 12, pinterest descriptions.

00:29:44
So, in all honesty, number 12, pinterest descriptions.

00:29:49
So, in all honesty, when I pin, I'm a big fan of pin generator

00:29:50
for Pinterest.

00:29:51
That's neilschafercom slash pin generator.

00:29:52
If you want to get a special deal, it is AI generated pins.

00:29:55
It takes me a minute to basically prepare 12 pins for

00:29:59
every new blog posts that I create and, as I mentioned

00:30:02
before, recently I've been getting the most social media

00:30:04
traffic from Pinterest.

00:30:05
So and this is B2B educational content, so you might want to

00:30:09
look into that, regardless of what industry you're in.

00:30:11
But what Pin Generator does is it creates the image based on

00:30:15
images from my own blog post, as well as template pins that it

00:30:18
has.

00:30:19
But you also need a title and a description.

00:30:21
So I sometimes use the Pin Generator AI for the title and I

00:30:27
basically just use the first paragraph or two or three from

00:30:28
the blog post as the description , because if you read the blog

00:30:31
post, it gives you the description right there, so I

00:30:34
will copy and paste that.

00:30:35
But sometimes it goes over the maximum, I believe, 800

00:30:38
characters for Pinterest description.

00:30:39
So I will cut and paste and say , hey, keep the same meaning and

00:30:44
intent, but please shorten this to under 800 characters for a

00:30:47
Pinterest description and then boom, that's done right.

00:30:50
So that's why I can schedule, create these pins really, really

00:30:53
quickly and they are quite effective, as mentioned by that

00:30:57
traffic that I am getting from Pinterest.

00:30:58
So definitely check out that tool.

00:31:00
I'll put the links to these tools in the show notes as well.

00:31:03
All right, we are now up to number 13.

00:31:07
Number 13 is live stream title and description.

00:31:10
So there is a workflow that I go through when I do a podcast

00:31:15
interview here on the your Digital Marketing Coach podcast,

00:31:17
and it begins with a Calendly link sent out to people that I

00:31:21
want to invite to be on the show , and in the Calendly link is a

00:31:24
form.

00:31:25
And you know, it's funny because I could actually connect

00:31:28
the Google form, or I could ask them to fill this out in a

00:31:31
Google form or probably even from Calendly.

00:31:33
I could connect it to Zapier and then give the prompt or the

00:31:39
conversation in Zapier and have these automatically generated

00:31:43
and maybe even integrated inside StreamYard or at least sent to

00:31:46
me via email so I can cut and paste it.

00:31:47
This goes above and beyond what I want to talk about here, but

00:31:49
those sorts of things with Zapier and if you can get

00:31:59
information from a Google form, google sheet it is not that hard

00:32:01
to feed it in the chat GPT and then get an output which can

00:32:02
also be automated.

00:32:03
That's like AI 2.0 or generative AI 2.0 or automated

00:32:04
AI, but for the purpose of the live stream title and

00:32:06
description.

00:32:07
I then get a Google calendar invite that's created

00:32:11
automatically from Calendly, which gives me the information

00:32:14
that every guest has given me, including proposed title,

00:32:17
proposed talking points, et cetera, et cetera.

00:32:20
So what I do is I will do a little bit of keyword research

00:32:22
to come up with a two to four word title that is YouTube SEO

00:32:26
optimized.

00:32:27
That also will become the keywords that I use in the

00:32:31
thumbnail of the actual video.

00:32:33
So actually my workflow after receiving the information is I

00:32:38
first need to get a thumbnail.

00:32:39
Before I need a thumbnail, I need to do a little bit of SEO

00:32:41
keyword research on YouTube.

00:32:42
I use vidIQ for that neilschafercom slash vidIQ if

00:32:47
you're interested in that tool and from there I now have a

00:32:52
keyword and a thumbnail, but I don't necessarily have a title

00:32:56
and I don't have a meta description, which you need for

00:32:58
YouTube or really when you schedule a live stream, whether

00:33:01
it's LinkedIn, facebook, what have you they need a description

00:33:04
as well.

00:33:05
So this is where I'll go into ChatGPT.

00:33:06
I'll use the title that my guest proposed, although I may

00:33:10
change it right off the bat.

00:33:11
I'll tell it the keyword that I want to rank for and I'll have

00:33:14
it propose both a new title and a description, and I give it a

00:33:18
little bit more information, a little bit more information

00:33:19
about my guest, for instance, like their LinkedIn profile URL,

00:33:22
their website, what have you?

00:33:23
And it creates a great title and a great description which I

00:33:27
can pretty much cut and paste and that becomes the live stream

00:33:31
description for when I schedule it on YouTube, on LinkedIn, on

00:33:35
Facebook.

00:33:35
What have you?

00:33:36
Now, when I publish it on YouTube, I will often add more

00:33:40
to the description.

00:33:40
I might tweet the title, but that then, once I schedule the

00:33:45
live stream, I get a link which then I can send to the guest

00:33:48
from my tool, streamyard, that I use, and then they know the

00:33:51
link to join the live stream.

00:33:52
So, using ChatGPT for that was just, once again, it's a time

00:33:56
saver.

00:33:56
It's high quality based on the inputs that I give it.

00:33:59
The content's coming from my guests, so it's authentic, and

00:34:02
it really is a time saver and a great way of using ChatGPT that

00:34:06
I could further automate, should I wish to.

00:34:09
All right, number 14, you're going to laugh about this one.

00:34:11
Help me create a new brand color scheme.

00:34:14
14, you're going to laugh about this one.

00:34:17
Help me create a new brand color scheme.

00:34:18
I am not a brand strategist, right?

00:34:19
I don't really talk a lot about branding.

00:34:20
I talk about personal branding, but not the traditional

00:34:22
branding, like colors and fonts, what have you?

00:34:25
And I'm starting to find my current color scheme of, like,

00:34:27
primarily blue, with black, gray white, a little bit of green,

00:34:31
starting to find a little bit boring, right?

00:34:32
You know I want to get some other colors.

00:34:34
I want it to be more colorful, right?

00:34:35
More inclusive, more diverse.

00:34:37
And the cover on my new book is using a bright orange and you

00:34:43
know Semrush uses orange.

00:34:45
Joe Polizzi from Content Marketing Institute has always

00:34:48
been a big orange guy, so there's a lot of other companies

00:34:51
out there that use the orange Agora, pulse and now I have a

00:34:54
new orange color that I want to make the primary color because

00:34:57
that's going to be the color of the cover of my next book, right

00:35:00
?

00:35:00
So I asked ChachiBT to also offer some complementary colors,

00:35:05
like this is my new primary color.

00:35:07
The blue is still my secondary color and I kept one or two of

00:35:11
the other colors, like a gray and a green.

00:35:12
I said, hey, I really want to make a diverse color palette.

00:35:15
Please recommend complimentary colors to the color scheme and

00:35:21
provide me the hex codes that I could provide my developer.

00:35:23
Funny thing was, for one of the hex codes it was incorrect.

00:35:26
It gave me the name of the color.

00:35:28
So when I looked it up, it actually misspelled the hex code

00:35:31
by one letter, so I had to correct that, but it gave me a

00:35:34
really what I thought a really cool looking color scheme that I

00:35:39
am now working on my first image creation from.

00:35:40
So that's a really cool and creative way.

00:35:42
Really, you know, using AI like I'm describing you here is only

00:35:46
limited by your imagination and the work that you need to get

00:35:50
done at hand.

00:35:50
Right, all right.

00:35:52
So number 15, search for competitor blog.

00:35:55
So one of the reasons I'm creating this new brand color

00:35:59
scheme is I want to create more branded images for my own blog

00:36:03
and I wanted to see what my competitors were doing in terms

00:36:06
of their website branded images inside blog posts.

00:36:09
So I thought you know what?

00:36:11
Why don't I ask ChatGPT for what are the big.

00:36:13
You know, digital marketing blogs that I should check for

00:36:15
these images for.

00:36:16
So once again, I had to ask it hey, you know, where would you

00:36:19
rank this blog and where would you rank that blog?

00:36:20
But it gave me a lot of interesting ideas.

00:36:22
Obviously, I knew of all the blogs that came up with, but it

00:36:25
was the way they ranked them.

00:36:26
No-transcript.

00:36:43
All right, number 16, on the same note, web graphics size

00:36:47
guide.

00:36:47
So I want to create these images that I want to include in

00:36:50
my blog post, like graphs and tables.

00:36:52
What have you it's like?

00:36:53
Well, you know, what should I tell my designer?

00:36:55
I have a color scheme.

00:36:56
Now, what size, what pixel?

00:36:58
What?

00:36:59
You know?

00:36:59
What are the guidelines that I should tell my designer to

00:37:02
create these web graphics?

00:37:04
And it told me recommended dimensions, which were a little

00:37:07
bit.

00:37:07
They pretty much in between some of the smaller sites and

00:37:10
the larger sites.

00:37:10
It recommended 72 DPI, which I found was the best as well, and

00:37:14
the larger sites.

00:37:14
It recommended 72 DPI, which I found was the best as well.

00:37:17
It recommended JPEG, although I think that I'm going to end up

00:37:19
going with PNG and WebP, obviously, but it gave me some

00:37:21
really great advice that instead of me, you know, trying to

00:37:26
create my own truth.

00:37:27
It recommended a truth which did not seem far-fetched from

00:37:30
what I had already researched, and it gives you peace of mind.

00:37:33
I'm not going to waste another 15, 30, 45 minutes hour

00:37:41
researching this.

00:37:41
It's not that deep.

00:37:41
Let's go with the chat GPT suggestion and we can optimize

00:37:43
from there.

00:37:43
All right, number 17.

00:37:44
And this gets really detailed, but I'd mentioned that I'm going

00:37:47
to be doing a pre-launch for this Kickstarter.

00:37:49
Now Kickstarter has their own pre-launch landing page, which I

00:37:53
will be asking you all to sign up at.

00:37:55
But there's also a tool called Backerkit that you can use that

00:37:59
also has a landing page.

00:38:00
The advantage of using the Backerkit landing page is that

00:38:03
you can get the email addresses of the people that sign up,

00:38:06
where you can't get it on Kickstarter.

00:38:08
The only way to get email addresses is if people actually

00:38:11
make a pledge and actually commit and make that pledge

00:38:14
after the campaign is funded, if it is funded.

00:38:17
So backer kit allows me to be able to make sure that I get

00:38:22
those email addresses in advance and it gives you a little bit

00:38:25
more information and it syncs together with Kickstarter.

00:38:28
So I asked ShotGPT give me the pros and cons of using backer

00:38:31
kit versus Kickstarter for prelaunch, pros and cons of

00:38:34
using Backerkit versus Kickstarter for pre-launch.

00:38:35
And then, when it recommended Backerkit, asa said, well, I

00:38:37
want to make sure people sign up on Kickstarter as well, because

00:38:40
you want to show the algorithm that there's an interest, right?

00:38:43
So I said, well, how do I like bridge both of those worlds

00:38:45
together?

00:38:46
And it told me how to do that.

00:38:47
It was a natural conversation.

00:38:49
So you know, google has tuned us to create these very, very

00:38:54
small search queries and I think with voice search, we're doing

00:38:58
a little bit longer.

00:38:59
With AI, you really want to go even longer and really have a

00:39:02
natural, continuing conversation , even if it gets you the

00:39:06
information, ask questions, ask for revisions, as I've been

00:39:09
telling you.

00:39:10
Number 18, this is really compelling and you know what I

00:39:13
actually want to read you the prompt, because this one really

00:39:16
blew me away and I think we all have our aha moments when it

00:39:19
comes to AI and this gives you some ideas as to sort of the

00:39:23
prompts I do.

00:39:24
So you are a Kickstarter and book marketing strategist.

00:39:27
I plan on using a Kickstarter to launch my next book.

00:39:31
I'm trying to establish various reward tiers and pricing for

00:39:35
selling the following items.

00:39:36
I need your help in creating reward tiers that will entice my

00:39:40
fans to purchase at a higher average shopping cart value.

00:39:43
I will provide you the items that I plan to sell.

00:39:45
I want you to recommend both reward tiers for purchasing of

00:39:49
these, both as single items as well as enticing combinations of

00:39:53
items.

00:39:53
Remember, the idea is to have an exciting collection of items

00:39:57
to offer my fans and increase the average customer purchase

00:40:00
value.

00:40:00
Are you ready and it's funny because ChatGPT is like

00:40:05
absolutely I'm ready.

00:40:06
Let's craft some compelling reward tiers that will not only

00:40:09
excite your fans but also maximize the average shopping

00:40:11
cart value.

00:40:12
Please go ahead and share the items you plan to sell and we'll

00:40:15
get started on creating those enticing rewards tiers.

00:40:18
Pretty cool, right?

00:40:19
And I basically said hey, you know, ebook, audiobook paperback

00:40:22
, signed paperback, hardcover, signed hardcover paperback,

00:40:25
companion workbook, digital first mastermind community.

00:40:28
Monthly membership new founding memora I am gonna be launching

00:40:30
a new digital threads community which is named after my new book

00:40:34
.

00:40:34
You know, monthly membership for the new founding members 30

00:40:37
minute one-on-one coaching, 60 minute one-on-one coaching, 60

00:40:40
minutes speaking event, four hour custom workshop.

00:40:43
And I was really blown away by not just the items, not just the

00:40:47
combination of items that have provided me, but also the

00:40:49
pricing suggestions, which I thought were really on par,

00:40:53
according to best practices, of what I've seen in various

00:40:55
campaigns and what I've read about how to price things.

00:40:57
Interestingly enough, it miscalculated a lot of the

00:41:01
combinations, so it recommended these tiers based on ebook plus

00:41:05
audio book plus signed hardcover , but then it miscalculated what

00:41:09
those all added up to be.

00:41:10
So I did have to do a little bit of manual work after that,

00:41:13
but that really blew me away and I would ask more questions

00:41:17
about, you know, suggestions on what else I should do pre launch

00:41:21
and and other questions about my strategy.

00:41:23
And it really really blown away as to how much it helped me.

00:41:26
And you know, this is an example of something that you

00:41:29
have, like, very little experience in.

00:41:31
The less experience you are in something, the more it can teach

00:41:35
you right.

00:41:36
And this is just a great example.

00:41:37
And knowing that it's based on human intelligence, knowing that

00:41:40
it's based on information that's already out there, I

00:41:43
really feel like and I like to say this a lot standing on the

00:41:46
shoulders of giants.

00:41:47
At the end of the day, it's my decision as to how much of this

00:41:50
I want to use, but it gives me a headstart.

00:41:56
All right, number 19,.

00:41:56
This is going to be similar to number 10 tweets from a URL.

00:41:57
Number 19 is LinkedIn and Facebook posts from a URL.

00:42:00
So you know tweets.

00:42:02
You have 280 characters.

00:42:03
Obviously, with LinkedIn Facebook posts you can go up to

00:42:06
5 characters.

00:42:07
If you go to LinkedIn and you see a post with emojis that

00:42:11
begin every paragraph most recently those are ones that I

00:42:15
have generated from ChatGPT.

00:42:16
I tend to use them more on my Facebook page business page and

00:42:20
LinkedIn company page.

00:42:21
On my personal profile.

00:42:22
I tend to use these less, but every once in a while, if I

00:42:26
think it is really good, I will use it, sort of revoice it and

00:42:29
schedule it to publish in that way.

00:42:30
So that's sort of a no-brainer right.

00:42:32
Once again, social media posts, but just adding a little bit

00:42:34
more verbiage instead of 280 characters, maybe 500 to 1

00:42:38
characters.

00:42:38
All right, number 20.

00:42:40
This is a real easy one Meta descriptions for blog posts.

00:42:43
So I already know the title, I already know the target keyword.

00:42:46
I always run out of ideas for book descriptions.

00:42:48
You know ChatGPT.

00:42:50
Please give me a few book descriptions limited to this

00:42:52
number of characters for best practice.

00:42:54
And then here's the title of the post and here's the keyword

00:42:57
I want to target.

00:42:57
Make sure it's SEO optimized, and, once again, it's saving me

00:43:00
time.

00:43:01
It's saving me the headache and energy of trying to do this

00:43:04
brainstorm.

00:43:05
And then number 21,.

00:43:07
This was an interesting one, because I was going through all

00:43:10
of my open Chrome tabs and I realized I had a window

00:43:13
dedicated to finding book author coaches, or book marketing

00:43:17
coaches.

00:43:17
These are published authors that help authors like me,

00:43:20
primarily nonfiction authors.

00:43:22
There are some for fiction, but I'm obviously looking for

00:43:24
nonfiction in all aspects of publishing, and because I'm

00:43:27
self-publishing this, hey, I want to make sure I'm on the

00:43:30
right path.

00:43:30
I want to make sure I'm leaving no stone unturned, and the

00:43:33
problem, though, is, you know, it's not hard to put up a

00:43:36
website and to put up a page and to put up a services page, and

00:43:40
it looks like you have a lot of authority in the subject.

00:43:41
So this is an area where ChatGPT will leverage search and

00:43:47
probably look at who gets mentioned a lot on the internet,

00:43:49
for you know their book marketing knowledge and their

00:43:53
book coaching author coaching experience and knowledge, and,

00:43:57
once again, it created this list of people that I might wanna

00:44:00
contact.

00:44:00
Now I also input some people that I had found that I had

00:44:04
these open tabs for, and I'm like hey, like for some of them

00:44:06
I had already found them in Google search.

00:44:08
A lot of them I hadn't.

00:44:09
There were a lot of people who they don't even offer book

00:44:11
coaching services.

00:44:12
They don't deal with individual people.

00:44:21
They're way above that right.

00:44:21
But there's still some people that, for a price, will talk

00:44:23
with you for 30 minutes, 45 minutes or an hour, and so I

00:44:24
wanted to close a lot of tabs but also find out who those

00:44:26
people might be.

00:44:27
So it gave me a ranking of all these people.

00:44:29
I added more people that I had found and I ended up creating a

00:44:33
short list of the number nine, the number 21, and the number 22

00:44:36
.

00:44:36
I ended up contacting one of those three today.

00:44:38
We'll see if I end up hiring them or not.

00:44:40
But once again, if you're searching for something, my

00:44:43
process up until now would be to open up 30 different tabs, and

00:44:46
you can still do that, and doing your own research is still

00:44:49
important.

00:44:49
But we can do it another way and instead of us starting from

00:44:53
a Google search, we start with a ChatGPT prompt and then, from

00:44:57
there, do Google searches.

00:44:58
So there you have it 21 different ways of using ChatGPT

00:45:05
for primarily marketing, but for business, personal use.

00:45:08
I hope that you saw some common threads there in the way that I

00:45:13
use it and it gave you some ideas.

00:45:14
Maybe you're already doing all this.

00:45:15
Maybe you're way more advanced than me, I don't know, but I

00:45:18
still find there are a lot of people out there who are a

00:45:21
little bit behind.

00:45:22
They might be using it, but they may not be using it as

00:45:24
deeply or in some of the ways that I'm using it.

00:45:26
The beautiful thing is it's muscle memory.

00:45:28
We are in the process now of training our brains into how do

00:45:32
we do our work with AI omnipresent, and it's no

00:45:36
different than how do we do our work with Google search

00:45:39
omnipresent.

00:45:40
We have fine-tuned our brains to be able to work with Google

00:45:43
search and now we're in the process of fine-tuning our

00:45:46
brains of how to work with AI, and I am still very early in

00:45:49
this process, but I just wanted to share that with you based on

00:45:53
that prompt that says man, you're lazy for you wanting to

00:45:55
use AI to create content.

00:45:56
It's a lot of work, don't get me wrong, and it's all still

00:45:59
based on my original thoughts, my original analysis.

00:46:01
But AI, in many different ways, can really save you time, can

00:46:06
improve the quality of what you do.

00:46:08
And this is the final thing I want to say If you're not using

00:46:12
AI in this way and your competitors are, where are you

00:46:15
going to be a year from now compared to your competitors?

00:46:18
That, to me, is one of the biggest takeaways, because I

00:46:20
know my competitors, like in the blogosphere for SEO.

00:46:23
I know that they're utilizing these tools.

00:46:25
I just did a much more sophisticated level than I am,

00:46:28
obviously because they have the budget to do so.

00:46:30
So it was on a recent interview that I did.

00:46:32
I mentioned these podcast interviews are first live stream

00:46:35
Make sure you go over to youtubecom slash.

00:46:37
Neil Schafer and the interview that I did last Friday with Drew

00:46:40
Moffitt, who is the marketing head at a company called Kumo

00:46:43
Space and in charge of their influencer marketing program.

00:46:46
We talked a little bit about AI for SEO, of how he's leveraging

00:46:49
a certain tool to actually create AI generated blog posts,

00:46:55
and what the AI is doing is it's actually creating multiple blog

00:46:57
posts, comparing them and then, once it finishes the iteration

00:47:01
of the AI generated blog post which has a high enough score

00:47:05
that improves your chance of ranking, it is then sending that

00:47:09
to you.

00:47:09
Maybe it takes an hour or two for it to go through this

00:47:11
process and then from there they're revoicing that blog post

00:47:15
and now you have a human edited AI, created by human, edited

00:47:19
right, human voiced, seo optimized blog post that was

00:47:22
created for search engine rankings, right.

00:47:25
And you can imagine that if all your competitors are using such

00:47:28
technology, you're not.

00:47:29
You're at a disadvantage and over time, you're at a bigger

00:47:33
disadvantage.

00:47:34
And what's interesting is that Kumo Space did not have any hits

00:47:38
by the recent Google updates, and we know that there's a lot

00:47:41
more AI generated content out there, but it might not be a

00:47:43
hundred percent AI generated like you think.

00:47:45
It might be this hybrid approach where it's AI created but human

00:47:50
optimized or human created and AI revised, something that I

00:47:54
have been experimenting with this last week with this tool.

00:47:57
If you're interested in this tool, go to neilschafercom slash

00:48:01
surfer Should be easy to remember.

00:48:03
The name of the tool is Surfer SEO and I am a big user of

00:48:06
Phrase For those that know neilschafercom slash F-R-A-S-E,

00:48:10
which I'm still using, but I'm really intrigued by Surfer and

00:48:13
I'll be updating you on how I use it and my findings in the

00:48:16
not so different future.

00:48:17
So obviously, the net net of this is, I mean, ai is not going

00:48:21
anywhere.

00:48:21
It's going everywhere actually.

00:48:23
So I hope this episode really helped you in the thinking of

00:48:27
the different ways you can use it.

00:48:29
I look forward to continuing this conversation, both on my

00:48:31
solo episodes as well as interviews, and I would love to

00:48:35
hear from you what you thought.

00:48:36
If you have any additional ways to use AI that I didn't talk

00:48:38
about or, hey, if you're like Neil, that's beginner stuff,

00:48:41
this is the way I use AI today I'd love to interview you on my
