AI FOR THE REST OF US A new direction: AI +marketing I've fallen down the rabbit hole of AI, and I can safely say now that there's no going back for me. AI moves really fast, and what it can do is unbelievable. And today's level of technology is the worst it'll ever be. I've been following AI news and trends, and it's all really interesting, but some of it is too high tech or not at all related to growing your business. Starting this week, I'm going to use this space as a way to teach "the...

Reader, During a recent mastermind group session, we talked about leveraging the power of AI to transform your own content into highly engaging and easily shareable pieces across various social media platforms. This, to me, is the real power of AI. Not content creation, necessarily, but transforming content into something that helps solopreneurs do more organic social media posting. In no other job do the production, marketing, and sales teams work together as one unit. Solos are unique in...

Reader, Sometimes things get stuck in my head, lodged by unseen forces. A passing comment during a presentation about AI. A few days later, I found the source of that comment from a different channel. This comment, in particular: The billion dollar solopreneur is coming... why not us? Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, believes that a solopreneur will create a billion-dollar company. In the next ten years. He's a credible source (if not the source) and it got me thinking... Why not us? I've been...

Reader, Ever embarked on a plan with all the bells and whistles, only to watch it unfold differently than expected? Bart Simpson knows... I recently did just that with a new workshop campaign (you might have seen all.the.emails), and the turnout was not what I hoped for. But, here’s the silver lining – the lessons learned are golden. Here’s the scoop: I thought it would be amazing to host a live workshop where we all got together to create a month's worth of content in two hours. I wrote a...

Hi Reader, New Year's resolutions are overhyped, right? Most fade by February, leaving us feeling frustrated and stuck. But what if we ditch the resolutions and focus on a winning strategy instead? I'm Kathleen, and I work with hundreds of entrepreneurs like you. Over-planning, over-strategizing, and over-committing are their biggest enemies. Sound familiar? Stop the "over-everything" trap. The key is saying "no" more, both to others and to yourself. It's about focusing on what truly matters...

Hi Reader, Metricool (affiliate link), my social media scheduler of choice, recently analyzed over a million accounts and released a huge report: 2023 Social Media Networks Study: Trends for 2024. I love this kind of report. Metricool has access to a lot of data, and since their app connects to all the different social media platforms out there, they don't have a real bias. Use whatever social media platform you want, but use Metricool, I would guess is their take. Here are some top-level...

Hi Reader, Yesterday I sent an email announcing the release of my book. And several of you bought it! Thank you for the support. I got a couple replies, too. Mostly about getting the paperback version. I have boxes and boxes of the Become a Well-Paid Expert paperback in my office. Why did I hide it? Some friends went immediately to Amazon, where it was much more straightforward to buy the physical copy. But since I built the sales page, I took their feedback and, fueled by two cups of coffee,...
