Practical Pointers

There’s no way you can ignore Artificial Intelligence; you need to find out how to use it or you and your business will be left behind. A good place to start is to become adept at ChatGPT.

In order to use tools like ChatGPT effectively, you first need to make your prompts as specific as possible; and second, you build on that with multishot prompting - in other words, a second prompt after ChatGPT gives you its initial feedback in order to further specify what you really want.

(Small businesses typically spend 70% of their budget on salaries, and that’s what often chokes them and leads to bankruptcy. So as painful as it is, in order to figure out where to first implement A.I., you should start by seeing which jobs can be replaced by artificial intelligence.)

If you’re looking to get exposure, make sure you remember that it’s not about you; it’s about what the audience you’re pitching wants to hear. If you remember that, and remember that the media needs you as much as you need them, you’re far more likely to receive exposure that will be effective.

If you want exposure on traditional media, write down a list of twenty names of people who are involved in some way with different media outlets; and then, give each person a score from 1 to 10 based on how influential they are in that outlet, and another score in terms of how likely they are to help you. Add the two scores together, and go down in order with your pitch from the highest score to the lowest. It works almost every time.
