10 Website Marketing Strategies To Grow Your Business

Gone are the days when a website for a business was simply a digital business card. Nowadays, websites are the hub of your business, providing insights to consumers, selling products and services and generating leads. If your website isn’t working for you, you need to consider these ways to market it so that it gets more eyes on your content.

I loved reading their tip of the day when I opened up their recent email. They included a prompt to help you help your AI. (did that make sense 🤪)

If you're getting bland AI-generated content when you use a writing assistant to create blog posts, you might need to help your AI help you.
Let AI Ask You Questions
By prompting the AI to ask you questions, you're allowing it to gather more information, better understand the task at hand, and generate more accurate and relevant content for you.
After you deliver the prompt for your article, add the following phrase:
Ask me all the questions you need me to answer in order to do this. Ask me each question one at a time. I will answer the question, and then you'll ask me the next question. We'll continue this pattern until you have all the information you need.
This conversational approach allows the AI to continuously learn and adapt based on your responses, resulting in a blog post that meets your specific needs and goals.
Today's tip is inspired by Dustin W. Stout, a featured guest on the AI Explored podcast.

Google Workspace

Google Drive - Your Virtual Filing Cabinet Imagine having a magic filing cabinet that you can access from anywhere, anytime. That’s Google Drive for you! It’s your go-to for storing all your important docs, pics, and files safely in the cloud. Sharing stuff with your team is a breeze – no more email attachments chaos. Plus, with shared drives and customizable permissions, everyone gets what they need without any hiccups.

  • Google Meet - Your Virtual Meeting Room Need to have a face-to-face but everyone’s scattered around? Enter Google Meet, your virtual meeting room. It’s got HD video and crystal-clear audio to keep your conversations smooth. You can share your screen, record meetings, and it integrates beautifully with Google Calendar. Scheduling and joining meetings has never been easier – just a click, and you’re in!
  • Google Calendar - Your Personal Assistant Think of Google Calendar as your ultra-organized personal assistant. It keeps track of all your meetings, deadlines, and even your personal to-dos. Create different calendars for work, projects, and personal life, and share them with your team to keep everyone in the loop. Plus, it syncs with Gmail and Google Meet, making sure you never miss a beat.

These features are like having your very own digital Swiss Army knife, making running your small business smoother and more efficient.

I should introduce you to my favorite Google Workspace expert. She's created courses and guides to help you be more productive with Google.

Dara Sklar is a GEM and has helped me learn more about all the things in Google Workspace and made me more productive!

We've also had her on the show here

You know I like hanging out on LinkedIn. So go connect with Dara there too.

She's fun! And you learn stuff from her too. Period.

Okay so you know when you are going a zillion moves a minute? I know it's not just me. But I have neglected one thing in my Aloha Friday emails. I haven't linked to my website. ANYWHERE in here. I make you click over to other platforms to then find my link to THEN get to my site. Big Mahalo to Kathleen of Chaos Coordinator for dropping me a line to say "Hey, did you do this intentionally?" #community
