Helping everyday people start and grow their online businesses with strategies and tools that get results.

Last week, I saw a bakery with a long line down the street. No fancy ads, no Instagram, just tasty bread and happy customers. It made me smile. Not every business needs to be on social media. If youâre tired of posting every day or chasing likes that donât lead to sales, I want to tell you something: There are still many real ways to grow a business, even now, in 2025. 1: Use Email Like a ProItâs old-school, but it works. When someone signs up for your emails, theyâre letting you talk right to them. Thatâs strong. You donât need to worry about algorithms. You own that link. 2: Show Up on GoogleA free Google Business Profile can turn someone looking around into your next customer. Keep it up-to-date with good info. 3: Blog About What People AskIf people are searching for it, write about it. Even if search has changed, helpful content still works. Social mediaâs a tool, not the whole toolbox. If it fits your business, use it. If not, thatâs okay too. And I have talked about this a lot in my last blog post. Yes, there are even more NON-SOCIAL MEDIA ways that still work for promoting a business. Stay curious, Minosh. â |

Most people still treat ChatGPT like Google. They ask a vague question, get a vague result, and blame the tool. But hereâs the thing, prompting isnât about typing, itâs about thinking. The Truth Most Donât See Youâre probably using AI to speed up tasks. But what if you could use it to speed up your thinking? If youâre a creator, freelancer, or founder, youâve likely felt this: âI donât know how to ask it right.â âMy outputs feel basic or off.â âI keep tweaking⌠but itâs never exactly right.â...
