🤔 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.

Ten years ago, if you searched “desk ideas” on Pinterest, you’d 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, you’ll see prices, sizes, stock updates, a “Shop” button, and some random AI stuff (which you can reduce in Settings → Refine your recommendations → Gen AI interests if needed). What’s actually happening here is that Pinterest is quietly turning itself into a shopping window. That’s why...

One night last year, I was just scrolling YouTube like usual when a video caught my eye. The title? Why The World’s Biggest Brands All Go To Sri Lanka. Cool, another nice piece of content, sounded interesting, but here’s 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...

Nearly 80% of readers find my blog from Pinterest, not Google. And it’s not only Pinterest. The same thing is still happening across other platforms, too. Yes, more people now find things on social apps, on ChatGPT, and can even buy products directly there. You may have heard that a few weeks ago, OpenAI released “Buy it in ChatGPT.” When people ask shopping questions like “best running shoes under $100,” ChatGPT will soon show products from places like Etsy and Shopify. You can even buy...
