How ChatGPT got me a paid speaking gig!
|
I want to give a special shoutout to ChatGPT for playing an unexpected role in my latest adventure. Here’s the story: A forward-thinking organizer was on the lookout for a speaker for an upcoming event in Dallas, Texas. Instead of the usual route, he asked ChatGPT for suggestions on who would make a captivating speaker about marketing. And guess what? My name popped up in the conversation! Thanks AI! This is a testament not just to technology's power to connect us but also to the undeniable importance of creating impactful content and earning publicity. Having a strong digital footprint is no longer optional; it's essential. This underscores the significance of sharing our knowledge, expertise, and experiences online. It's about positioning yourself in a way that when someone asks, "Who should we bring to speak at our event?" the digital trails you've created lead to you. This isn't just about being found; it's about creating value that resonates with others. Every article, blog post, video, or social media update contributes to a digital portfolio that can open doors you didn't even know existed. The content we create and the effort we put into building our online presence can lead to incredible opportunities, sometimes in the most unexpected ways.

I sat in on a webinar about AI writing tools, and the biggest takeaway was pretty simple... AI isn’t the problem. Bad content is. A few things that really stood out: 1. Specific always beats broad.AI search tools pull small, precise snippets of content. Vague, fluffy writing won’t surface. Clear, direct answers will. 2. If AI content sounds generic, the prompt is the issue.Vague prompts = bland output. The more context you give around audience, intent, format, and tone, the better the result....
We're still deleting ourselves out of the Black Friday/Cyber Monday email hell, so let's keep today fun and take a trip down memory lane, shall we?
