🤔 Does YOUR Content Even Matter Anymore?
|
Ever feel like Google is reading your mind these days? You search for something, and suddenly there’s a quick AI answer box, not a list of links. Most of the time, the answer you’re looking for nicely appears there, but not every time, yes, that’s the truth. But there is something happening, and you already know it: AI tools are changing the way people find info online. Well, that’s the users’ side, but when it comes to the website owners, creators, and businesses that benefit from Google? Yes, something is happening for them, too. The old school SEO tricks still matter, but answering real questions in simple ways is where things are heading. Here’s what this means for you:If you just focus on keywords, you could badly miss things. AI engines look for content that gives clear answers to real questions, fast and well structured. So, your blog, product, or even a side hustle page needs to speak the same way your reader would ask. Here are some easy things you can do: ➡️ Write down 3–5 questions your audience asks. Things like “Which cake flavors are most popular for birthdays?” if you run a bakery, or “Do you offer eco-friendly packaging?” if you sell products online. ➡️ Answer those questions at the very start of your content. No talking in circles. I’m talking about TL:DR, a quick summary, or maybe key takeaways. Just tell them what they need, plain and simple. By the way, I write all my drafts in Notion. It’s simple, tidy, and once you try it, you’ll probably never want to go back. ➡️ Use simple headings, bullet points, and short paragraphs. This helps both people and AI find your answers. ➡️ If you can, add FAQ or “schema” markup. This makes your site easier for search engines to read. So, don’t be scared to test these with your content. Things are changing fast, and the only way to keep up is to keep experimenting. Stay curious, Minosh. |

The other day, I was thinking about how most people still treat TikTok like a place to scroll when they’re bored. You know, just for watching that random stuff, like someone reviewing a $14 croissant like it’s a life event. Or a guy explaining how to get rich while sitting in a rented Lamborghini. Anyway, you get the idea. But that view is getting old. People now open TikTok and type in questions like they used to do on Google. They want a quick answer they can watch. And believe it or not,...
A few days ago, I clicked on an article link from Facebook. It paused for a second, then showed a huge cookie banner with way too many options. I just pressed accept because I only wanted to read the post. Then a pop-up came asking me to join the email list. I closed it. Another small bar appeared at the bottom, talking about some limited time offer. The space for the actual text kept shrinking until it felt like I was reading through a tiny hole. So I left, even though the article itself was...
You may have seen many social media people argue about AI, or AI vs. jobs, or things that are going to happen in the future because of AI. But still, on the other hand, you’ve seen this too: many businesses on social media have comments from people asking, “How much is it?” and “Is this for me?” and I’m pretty sure their DMs are also flooded with unanswered questions. Well, that’s the real problem. The thing is, we ramble about AI a lot, but we don’t really think about where we can use it for...
