It is just their version of Tiktok videos, or "shorts" over on YouTube. They tend to do better than just posting nothing but pictures which is why they are recommended to help accounts grow. I think they get recommended more on the platform.

Of course. But it isn't the only one or some sort of defining factor. You can rank well using just about any site format or software, even the free variations like Blogger. It just comes down to the content and the quality of the site really. Making sure it is optimized helps.

They are just pre-written and reusable instructions specifically to optimize interactions with LLMs and generative AI tools. The main driving factory is time saving but they also help ensure consistency and improve output quality by providing tested templates for specific tasks.

I think so for the right channel, anyways. I would try to first grow your channel without it if you can. Keep in mind that channels can take up to a year or more to actually gain traction. I have seen some grow over night but this is rare, even with the help of programs like this.

You have to have some sort of incentive to encourage people to give you their e-mail. So offering an e-book, for example, with information people would desire that can't be found on your website. You can offer it for free or paid but free is always best as it rewards trust. You can also do guides and access to private videos over on YouTube if that is your thing.

This. I think it is more important to do what you enjoy and what you would watch. If you make content you'd enjoy watching, there is a good chance there are a number of people out there that would enjoy it too. If you like intros and outros, use them.

I think the beauty industry as a whole is a billion dollar one, especially when you include things like plastic surgery. It is crazy what you can make with affiliate links. I know someone that does a review site for beauty products and she makes over $2k a month just from Amazon links.

I don't know of an all in one tool. You tend to be better off picking what tools you want and need specifically and keeping them limited. Like for example, if you want something to help manage emails, Mailchimp is highly recommended. I used it before and like it.

Oh yeah, and all the search engines have these now it seems. It probably comes down to what kind of content it is then. I am sure AI made using specific models gets priority. Although I noticed on Duck Duck Go, they have a feature that attempts to block AI images now if you choose.

I think regional traffic makes a difference for what you tank. So if most of the traffic is coming from China, ranking in Chinese locations would improve. You want to focus on ranking in America IMO so if your paid traffic is not coming from the US, I don't see much of a point in paying for it.

I think this depends on what sort of website you want or intend on building. WordPress makes it fairly easy, especially when you choose the right theme and plugins. That being said, if it is a site you intend on changing the look of a lot, as time goes on this can become a nightmare on WordPress.

There are some guides online as well as videos I have seen that walk you through all the little details but yes, this does work. There are tons of little changes you can make to a website to improve how Google views and pulls information from your website.

A lot of people recommend making use of Reels. I never have with my accounts and they do just fine but I guess this is something that Instagram pushing themselves so it is a good idea to put time into it now.

You already feel like there is pressure there. When we put too much of a workload on ourselves, we end up making mistakes. I would focus mostly on which every site is performing better and put the other in maintenance mode for the time being.

I mean to me, it is a waste of time. Like think of how long it takes to upload over there. YouTube got rid of the auto-upload that pulls videos from their platform and puts them on Rumble as well. Which I think was silly.

The way I look at it now is that we need to adapt for an internet with AI. We have had bots for ages now. I noticed them way back in like 2006. We are 20 years into the future from that point and now we have smarter bots essentially and people using them as tools.

Really? I would think they would prioritize AI that is coming from their own models if anything. So many people are putting millions if not billions into AI right now.

I unironically asked AI. So it is looking like we have officially been over-passed. It is pretty bad that 40% of the traffic is coming from malicious bots too. I think cyber security for this reason needs to be taken more seriously. Especially knowing that a lot of younger people (those under 25) tend to not have a clue about any of it or the threats.

I can't think of 10 things. I use it here and there. I am not a daily user of AI like some other people are. I try to rely on myself and my own skill set and only use AI when I need extra assistance with something. I view it as a tool mostly. Sometimes as a means to cut time spent on any one project I have planned.

Isn't ChatGPT under fire right now because of OpenAI's ongoing legal issues? I am fairly certain they own it but I could be wrong. Either way, of the ones I have used, it is the best for doing everything. I think for video and pictures though, as well as voice/music you have better options but for what you are after, I wouldn't worry too much about that.

I noticed so many companies and businesses offering discounts, sales, and special edition items for the celebration. I am a bit late to even attempt to plan for this so I missed out. I am wondering if anyone here has done anything special for the event. Even if it is just discounts or sales.

I noticed some places attempting to provide blocking options for AI content but it doesn't get all of it. I don't mind it when it is higher quality or if AI is being used as a tool but when the person is relying entirely on AI to do everything, the quality is just awful.

You can still brainstorm and plan ahead for it if you want. If you get a cheap enough domain, you can even set it up and have it ready to launch but that is up to you. I wouldn't launch it until you have a reason to though.

Yup. As I said and have heard from tons of others, the search engine built into the platform is terrible. I don't know how they overlooked that. It seems like in order to find anything on the platform, you have to be wanting to follow someone that is already popular on the site. I wouldn't even bother with it.

I actually looked into this and you are right. They did a rebranding of sorts and now focus on customization gifts. So I guess this is a bad suggestion given that they don't print and shop items for people at all anymore.
