    Have the robots taken over?
    Nope.
    That doesn't mean you shouldn't hop on the ChatGPT craze. This conversational AI writing tool can help you escape the blank page. However, it won't make you an A+ student or an amazing expert — it still needs a human hand to provide helpful content for your customers.
    I'll let ChatGPT explain itself:
    ChatGPT is designed to generate responses to text prompts in a conversational style, making it well-suited for tasks such as chatbots, conversational agents, and dialogue systems. It can be used to generate responses to questions, carry out conversations, or provide helpful information in real-time.

    Software Review: Canva Docs
    Canva adds AI writing and collaborative functionality.
    Our Take: If you're already using Canva for your business, hop on Canva Docs. It will help you rapidly create eBooks and other documents while collaborating with your team.

    Inspirational Nugget
    It’s disgraceful for adults to have only the knowledge in their notebooks. How long will you be compelled by the claims of another? Take charge and stake your own claim — something posterity will carry in its notebook.— SENECA, MORAL LETTERS, 33.7It’s easier to quote and rely on the wise words of others.
    It’s intimidating to venture out and express your own thoughts. Your experiences have value. You have accumulated wisdom. Share your stories.
    What wisdom will you create today?

    Write Persuasive Copy without Feeling Icky

    Persuasive Copy
    Writing persuasive copy is one of the most important skills you can have in business. It allows you to influence people and get them to take action. 
    However, it can be difficult to master, especially when you get all the feels and run to take a hot shower afterward to wash off the ICK! 
    This week's Livestream podcast episode is ALL ABOUT the best ways to write persuasive copy WITHOUT feeling icky. We'll help you write more persuasive copy to create incredibly powerful email marketing and social media posts.
    Words of Wisdom
    I think passion is why some people think I'm so persuasive. That's one of the ways that you can really convey what matters to you. Hopefully, what matters to you is also something you're engaged with in your business. — Jen
    When you talk about sales copy being persuasive, it isn't just your sales page. It isn't just your website. It's everything you do. — Shelley

    Breaking News
    Banning TikTok?
    Our take: This is why it's important to have a space you own, rather than rely on social media.
