I finally deleted my Twitter/X account.
As you may know, I report the news each morning on my Amazon Alexa/Google Home flash briefing, The Front Row Entrepreneur, and each day the news regarding X continues to reveal that chaos and toxicity is the name of the game over there.
When I first started my business and was learning about Facebook ads, I was obsessed with Jon Loomer’s content. He is arguably the most knowledgeable Facebook ads person out there, but more importantly, he’s a great teacher.
He started his business in advanced Facebook advertising beginning in 2012. He experienced some bumps in the road over the past few years but listen to how he addresses these challenges…I think you’ll be inspired.
Jon shares some really powerful things with us:
How he started his business
His journey into TikTok
What’s new in Facebook ads
What his content creation process looks like behind the scenes
The importance of being scrappy and the value of seeking out mentors and advisers
The importance of staying focused and being transparent with clients and customers
The challenges of managing growth and scaling operations, and the role of innovation in a constantly changing market.
This is going to not only rock your world as an entrepreneur and content creator, but it’s going to change things for the whole world, in general.
Am I being dramatic? A little.
But this is worth paying attention to immediately.
It’s called Chat GPT and if you haven’t heard about it, hang on to your pigtails.
Chat GPT, or Generative Pretrained Transformer, is a type of artificial intelligence language model that can generate human-like text. It works by using machine learning algorithms to process and analyze large amounts of text data, which it uses to generate new text that is similar to the input data. This allows GPT to generate responses to prompts or questions that sound natural and human-like.
I’ve been playing with it for the last two days and I. Am. Obsessed.
And I’m not here to say whether or not this beast of a robot is good or bad. The point is, it’s here, and we have to deal with it.
As content creators, things are about to change…BIG TIME.
And to be honest, I have just scratched the surface of use case scenarios for this, but here are some of the things you can do…
You can ask for suggestions for content to create:
What about asking it to create a poem for you?
How often am I looking for poetry as content? NEVER. But this is a great way to demonstrate what a big deal this is…that a machine can do that!
How about this??? You can pick the VOICE you want things written in!
And although I’ve read that the folks at ChatGPT have set it up to be a tool for good (and not evil), there are clearly work-arounds……

You can ask it to create actual blog posts for you:
In this example, I asked the bot: “What are some of the benefits of hiring an assistant in the Philippines?”, since this is something I talk about often.
Here’s the response from the bot, I’ve edited nothing:
There are several benefits to hiring an assistant in the Philippines, including:
1. Access to a large pool of highly skilled and educated workers: The Philippines has a large and growing population of highly skilled and educated workers, many of whom are fluent in English and have experience working in a variety of industries.
2. Cost savings: Labor costs in the Philippines are generally lower than in many other countries, which can help companies save money on salaries and other employee-related expenses.
3. Time zone advantages: The Philippines is located in the same time zone as many Asian countries, which can make it easier for companies to coordinate with their Philippine-based employees and handle time-sensitive tasks.
4. Cultural compatibility: The Philippines has a strong cultural connection with many Western countries, which can make it easier for Philippine-based employees to understand and work with clients and colleagues from these countries.
5. Government incentives: The Philippine government offers a range of incentives and support programs for companies that hire local workers, which can help companies save money and access other benefits.
Overall, hiring an assistant in the Philippines can provide companies with access to a highly skilled and cost-effective workforce, as well as other benefits that can help them grow and succeed.
Is that a great blog post? Not really, but what a head start it gives me!
Yes, this does seems like the ultimate tool for students to cheat on their homework, but then I saw this, so maybe it won’t be that bad:
Wasn't aware of this, but sounds like Scott Aaronson at OpenAI is working on cryptographically watermarking GPT outputs. Means it should be easy enough (in principle) for e.g. teachers to check if students used GPT to do their homework, StackOverflow to check for GPT use, etc. pic.twitter.com/ah9hAjUKvl

Now, let’s talk about the bot itself.
Because this is an open platform, you could hire a programmer to create this for your business specifically. Imagine loading up your bot with everything there is to know about your business, and never having to answer another customer service question again. This makes ManyChat and the like look like an old Beta Max.
In fact, if you want to know how you would post a job posting for a freelancer to build this kind of bot, ask the bot!
The best way to understand this *thing* is to try it out for yourself. Go to https://chat.openai.com/ and have fun!
(Because the world is going nuts over this right now, you may not be able to access it during peak hours…but keep trying!)
Again, I’m not saying this thing is good or bad. It’s here. We have to deal with it.
As always, would love to hear your thoughts on this. Comment below and let me know what you think about ChatGPT!
I like the ONLINE Black Friday. If you are like I am, you spend a lot of your business dollars on online tools and services. So we might as well get the best deals possible, right? I’ve spent the last several weeks compiling a list of the best Black Friday deals for online entrepreneurs. I’ll be updating this list all the way through Cyber Monday (November 28).
Today, we’re talking about building a secret society.
I know…you’re probably thinking “that's a weird topic”...
… but when Michael F. Schein ( Head Hype Man at MicroFame Media, and author of the “Hype Handbook”) emailed me and shared that he had been exploring secret societies as a way of building relationships and scaling business, I knew I wanted to hear more. I mean, if you put “secret” in front of something, doesn't it kind of force you to want to know more???
So I took the bait and I'm so glad I did. Mike shares some really compelling things with us:
✔️ How he conducted an experiment of creating a secret society, and his surprising results
✔️What the difference is between building a secret society and networking
✔️ How to select the people for your own secret society
✔️ Why you might want to consider starting a secret society of your own.
