đ What YOUR Audience Knows That YOU Donât
|
Not long ago, someone on Pinterest commented, âdo you think we can even grow a business without social media in 2025â. Just like that, my next blog post almost wrote itself. It reminded me that, sometimes your best content comes straight from your own audience. When you invite others to share their wins, struggles, or honest questions, things get way easier (and a lot more real). A recent research also found that 69% of people trust recommendations from creators, just like they trust advice from family and friends. Thatâs way more than any ad can do. If you run a business, adding creator voices to your content isnât just a nice touch, itâs the new must-have. You can partner with creators who fit your style (there are lots of platforms to help, check out this blog post for a list). Or, you can let your own audience fuel your OWN content: âĄď¸ Ask your readers for stories, questions, or even screenshots of their results. Itâs the simplest way to make your content feel real. âĄď¸ Use those stories in your next newsletter or blog (always get permission first). When youâre ready to take it further, you can feature your favorite submissions and give a friendly shoutout. âĄď¸ Try short interviews with followers or share behind-the-scenes feedback, including things that didnât work out. âĄď¸ Reward people who join in. Sometimes just seeing their name on your social media, website, or newsletter is enough to make their day. Your audience isnât just followers, theyâre your hidden strength. Let them help you grow. Stay curious, Minosh. PS: If you have a story or something that worked for you, just hit reply and tell me about it. â |

The first time I tried using AI to write a meta description for one of my blog posts, I thought I could just drop in a prompt and be done there. The result? It sounded⌠way too robotic, like something nobody would want to read. Maybe youâve felt the same. With all these tools around, itâs tempting to let AI do most of the work. But the truth is, and what almost everyone is not taking too seriously, is that you still have to be the boss. AI can write, but it canât think for you. The reason I...
Ten years ago, if you searched âdesk ideasâ on Pinterest, youâd mostly see nice photos, clean setups, white walls, and maybe a coffee mug. Nothing to buy, just inspiration. If you try that same search today, youâll see prices, sizes, stock updates, a âShopâ button, and some random AI stuff (which you can reduce in Settings â Refine your recommendations â Gen AI interests if needed). Whatâs actually happening here is that Pinterest is quietly turning itself into a shopping window. Thatâs why...
One night last year, I was just scrolling YouTube like usual when a video caught my eye. The title? Why The Worldâs Biggest Brands All Go To Sri Lanka. Cool, another nice piece of content, sounded interesting, but hereâs what made me click. It was posted by Ben Francis, the founder of Gymshark. Not a marketer or random influencer. The actual founder of a brand that grew from a garage startup to a $1.4 billion fitness business. It felt like I was hearing straight from the person behind the...
