đ¤Â Everyone's Using AI Except ME!

Itâs the 11th month of 2024, and AI is everywhere. Even ChatGPT now has SearchGPT, a feature thatâs challenging Google and Bing. And your competitors are using AI to work faster, smarter, and cheaper. To be exact, 72% of businesses use AI for at least one part of their work. Meanwhile, you may still be doing things the old way. You might be asking yourself: Am I falling behind in a world where AI is becoming more common? Can my business stay competitive if I donât start using AI? How do I get started with AI when it seems so difficult? Itâs okay to be worried about AI. But the thing is, AI can be helpful in many ways, yet itâs not suitable for everything. So how can you use AI in your business without making big changes to your whole routine and keeping a good balance? Your Simple AI Plan: Start SmallJust start with something small that matters to you or your business. âĄď¸ Step 1: Find one task that takes a lot of time. âĄď¸ Step 2: Look for one AI tool that can help with this task. âĄď¸ Step 3: Try it out and learn. This is your first step into AI! If youâre still wondering what to choose, here are 10 AI tools for small business owners, and even for almost every kind of business, that I believe could be gold. What do I think about all this AI stuff?Use it to help you work better, but donât let it do all your thinking for you. For example, when I write these newsletters, I ask Perplexity AI to research industry statistics and suggest different ways to explain concepts. But I donât just copy-paste its response. Instead, I read through the suggestions, double-check any important numbers, and then rewrite everything in my own words - the style youâre reading now. AI helps me save a lot of time on research, but the final message you read is still mine. So what I learned from using those tools is, things would be better when people learn to work WITH AI, not those who work AGAINST it or ignore it. Cheers, Minosh. â |

After a long time, last week, I tried editing a quick video for one of my friendâs new small business with the popular video editing tool CapCut, but got blocked by its new paywall. You know that moment when youâre almost done, but then the app wants you to upgrade? I just sighed, closed the app, and thought, âThere has to be a better way.â So I started looking for other free video editors. And wow, things have changed a lot since the days of Windows Movie Maker! You have plenty of choices...
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 Pro Itâs old-school, but it works. When someone signs up for your emails, theyâre letting you talk right...
Ever heard of Mister Splashy Pants? Back in 2007, Greenpeace ran a poll to name a whale for their anti-whaling campaign. They expected serious names. But the internet had other plans. Someone suggested Mister Splashy Pants. People loved it. The name blew up on Reddit, won the vote, and Greenpeace had to roll with it. The best part? That silly name helped the campaign get massive attention, and it helped stop the hunt. Itâs a reminder that sometimes the internet behaves in unexpected ways, and...
