    How I use AI right now

    As I’ve been looking for new opportunities and deciding what’s next for me, I’ve been pumping out proposals and filling out applications. There’s a bit of excitement and hope in all of these.

  • Why you need to say less

    Why you need to say less

    Throughout my career, I have run across so many pages that subscribe to the idea that more is more. When a social network increases their character limits, they cheer because they will absolutely use every character of that character limit. And longer videos? They’re on that as well. None of these pages understand the power…

    Everyday moments are social media gold

    I have a bit of a headache this morning so I turned to ChatGPT to help me come up with a topic for today’s blog post. It gave me a bunch of topics that I dismissed immediately. And then I just got mad when I read the next topic: “From Boring to Viral: How to…

    Write a Story for Your Brand Posts

    A lot of people talk about telling your story online, but they talk in generalities to the point that I don’t think anyone knows what that means. And that always leads to a lot of confusing content. So what is it like to write a real story with your content? And how should it fit…

  • Handling Writing Feedback

    Handling Writing Feedback

    The other day, I read a post on LinkedIn saying that finding a writer that can handle feedback on their writing and not take it personally is rare. Not all that surprising. We’re putting our heart out there and hoping someone will love it. It’s disappointing when they seemingly don’t. But if you can’t handle…

    Writing For the Holes

    One of my best skills is being able to see holes clearly. What does that mean? It means I can look at your niche, do some research and tell you exactly what you’re missing. These all important holes can make a huge difference in getting you connected to the right audience and making business happen.…

    Bringing Emotions to Your Writing

    A great writer does a lot of things that a good writer doesn’t. They constantly practice and experiment. And they bring emotions to their writing. Why is emotion such an important aspect of writing? It is the part that brings people in and makes them feel something. And it is what makes your audience remember…
