Send a new post about who you are and what you care about, not just what you do. It doesn't matter if you've been posting for a while. A reintroduction is great at any time. Use any excuse. A birthday, work or business milestone. Even a follower milestone. Share the moment you realized your calling. Tell your followers why you get up early to do your work.

In B2B marketing, consistency goes beyond simply showing up. You need to show up in the right place, at the right time, with the right content. Every blog post, webinar, email sequence, or LinkedIn campaign you create plays a crucial role in driving results for your business. So, if they are not planned together, your messages will lose impact, and your brand loses relevance and trust.

So, I understand why so many bloggers and organizations are integrating AI tools into their writing workflows. It's tempting because it's fast and actually "works".

In fact, a new study from MIT suggests that the use of ChatGPT actually harms critical thinking abilities.

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is essential for improving a website's content discoverability by AI search engines, ensuring businesses remain competitive in a digital era.

Creating online content isn't a creative writing class. It's also not the same as turning in an A+ research paper. You don't always get points for showing up and doing the work.

YouTube's algorithm prioritizes signals that indicate whether people enjoy the content. And with recommendations driving 70% of what gets watched on the platform, understanding how that algorithm works is essential to building a successful strategy.

A study by Ahrefs found that 86.5% of top-ranking pages include AI-generated content, with only 4.6% categorized as pure AI and 13.5% as pure human.
