🤔 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.

Ever noticed how some newsletters just feel different? I still remember the first time someone hit reply to my weekly email and shared how useful and helpful it was for him. Suddenly, it wasn’t just me sending words out into nothing. Not just for me, newsletters have now become a real place for people to share and feel listened to. And now there’s a change happening. Newsletters aren’t just for sharing updates anymore. According to HubSpot, marketing experts say that in 2025, more newsletters...

Not long ago, someone on Pinterest commented, “do you think we can even grow a business without social media in 2025”. 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...

I’ll never forget the first time I hit publish on my very first blog post online. My hands were shaking, heck, I was even sweating, even my mother language is not English (it’s Sinhala if you really want to know), but the first few comments changed everything. That moment taught me something stupidly simple. People want to hear from you, they want to hear from real voices, not that glossy corporate polish, and they also need transparency and trust more than perfect branding. I’m not the only...
