    You Ask, I Answer: Growing Organic Traffic?

    Laura asks, “Say you wanted to drive A LOT of traffic, organically, in a white hat way. what would you do first? where would you guest post or comarket or???”

    It really depends on your goals and the quality of the traffic you intend to drive. If you, for some reason, just need to pad your traffic numbers, the white hat way is to commission a bot network and just have bots hit your site all day. That will have ZERO business impact for obvious reasons. If you need high quality traffic, then the best thing to do is, after setting up your goals and tracking, do some serious audience research. What sites does your audience consume? Watch the video for full details.

    In today’s episode, Laura asks, say you wanted to drive a lot of traffic organically in a white hat way, what would you do first? Where would you guest post or co market or etc? It really depends on the quality of traffic you intend to drive. So one of the most important things you need to have in place is, what are you trying to measure? Do you really just want clicks to your website, I mean, the white hat way to do that would be just commission a button network to hit your site all day, from varying random locations, I will have zero impact 00 impact on your website for obvious reasons, because they won’t be a single human out there, but would make the traffic numbers go up? That’s generally a poor strategy. If you need quality traffic, you have to determine first, what is that traffic worth? What goals do you want them to achieve? How we going to track it with something like Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager. And then the way to get traffic out of that is to build a program that gets the traffic from where, you know, it lives, to where you need it to go. Modern public relations is where should be that what tends to happen with things like guest posting or co marketing or PR is that we focus we have a tendency to focus on where we think people are, instead of paying attention to where they actually are. One of the things that I like doing in audience analysis is look at where people are spending their time. And you can do this through a variety of tools, Facebook, Audience Insights, Google Analytics data from your own Google Analytics data to see where you’re already getting traffic from. using social media research tools, like talk Walker, where are people? Where is your audience spending their time? And then from there? Do your research, what publications do they share? What where do they leave comments, all those things? And then kick it up a level and say, okay, you know, where your audience lives, and you know, where you’re getting your traffic from, you know, where they spend their time. Now go to a competitor? What’s a competing company, or event or whatever? And where did where does their audience spend their time? Where does their audience get their information from, and then go after those publications, those sites, those guest blogs, those podcasts. It’s not difficult work to do. It’s just in a lot of cases, laborious work to do. But it’s how you figure out where you’re going to get your, your real growth from. So for example, take my site, or my company site, trust insights.ai. Who is in my who’s in our audience? Well, a lot of it is based on a personal mailing list, who mentions us who comments at us and so on and so forth? grab their information from again, social media monitoring tools, what publications did the did our audience share? Cool. Now we’ve got a list of places that we should be guest posting, or pitching or running marketing programs, or even in an ad system, like for example, stack adapt, or Google ads, or any Display Network Really? Whose site can we advertise on? based on where our audience is? Right? So if two thirds of my audience gonna make this up and say two thirds of my audience spends their time reading, comic book.com, right, is that available in one of the DSP is, can I advertise there? Because if my audience hears that, that’s where they are. And then if we go, say, again, this is purely speculative, but imagine that we see are an aspirational, competitive, like McKinsey, or Bain or BCG. Cool. Where is that audience pull that data? Where do they spend their time? Now we have that list of sources and domains, let’s go pitch those people. Let’s go get articles place there. Or if they have a podcast, see if there’s podcast audio ads available. There are really good audience research tools. I mentioned Facebook Audience Insights, there’s tons of audience research tools, research data available to you. That lets you reach an audience. If you have some budget, run some surveys, right? run some surveys and identify where your audience spends their time, ask them, What podcasts you listen to, who are your top three social media influencers, to follow, and so on and so forth, you can do that. Especially if you’ve got a mailing list. So like my personal mailing lists, close to 40,000 people now

    I run a survey, I try to run a survey once a quarter to them and say, Where are you spending your time?

    What?

    What captures your interest? What topics Do you care about? What are your biggest pain points, and use that information to help triangulate. If you identify, for example, people say like, maybe Google Analytics is their biggest challenge. Cool. Now go back and repeat the process. You have whatever people saying about Google Analytics and social media, and what sites and blogs do they read, who should you be quoting who should be you be putting into your publications and and name checking and your social media posts to catch their attention to build the relationship to set up potential future interactions? There’s a really great book references a lot, a little out of date, but still mostly relevant called spin sucks by Ginny Dietrich, who full disclosure is an advisor by company. But one of Jenny’s rules is the rule of 10, which is do something give value to a publication or to an influencer at least 10 times over 10 weeks before reaching out so that when you do reach out, they know who you are, I they’ve heard your name, they’ve heard of you and your pitch will be much more likely to be successful. So that’s would be my strategy, going after? Where’s your audience? Spend your time? Where’s the competitors? I can spend their time what is the audience have a key topic, spend their time do that research, do that analysis, it will take a long time, right when we do this kind of research for clients is typically, you know, anywhere from a 20 to 80,000 project that takes from one to three months depending on how much detail you want to dig into. But in the end, you have an action plan, this is where you need to go, this is what you need to do. This is who you need to talk to in order to generate the kind of results that you’re looking for. So that’s, that’s the solution for driving a lot of traffic. The thing that where people go wrong is they will there’s there’s a hidden qualifier on that statement. A lot of people think how can I drive a lot of traffic for free, you can not high quality traffic, there is no free lunch anymore on the web, on search and social in anything. Today on the internet, you get what you pay for. So if you have zero dollars, you have to give tremendous value to other people to make up for the fact that you’re not giving them dollars, right you know, pile of money. Or you just if you have the pile of money, buy ads. Buy influence by sponsored content, whatever the case may be, if you have the money spend the money if you don’t have the money, you have to create the equivalent value and creating equivalent value for something like a50,000 ad spend is a lot of work. So just know that there is no free lunch period, anywhere on the internet. Those days are long gone. If you have questions, please leave them in the comments below of course and please subscribe to the YouTube channel and the newsletter I’ll talk to you soon.

  • Foodblogging Friday: Fire-Roasted Vegetables

    Foodblogging Friday: Fire-Roasted Vegetables

    “Fire-roasted vegetables” have long been a favorite of mine, from sliced potatoes to Brussels Sprouts to cauliflower. However, cooking them to restaurant-quality perfection requires some different thinking, especially if you want to do a relatively large batch.

    Some things that tend to go wrong:

    • On the grill, uneven cooking – a problem especially with potatoes
    • In the oven, overcooking – a problem especially with broccoli
    • In a pan, too greasy – even with nonstick, and the cooking is also uneven

    So, how do we accomplish that real, fire-roasted flavor without the attendant problems?

    We forget this key feature of our ovens: the broiler.

    By laying out our vegetables on a large, flat baking sheet, we can broil them to that fire-roasted goodness at home while avoiding many of the pitfalls of other methods. Plus, done correctly, you can knock out a vegetable dish in just a few minutes.

    Fire-Roasted Cruciforms (Broccoli, Cauliflower, etc.)

    Ingredients

    • 2 bags of frozen vegetables from your favorite store
    • 2 tbsp high heat cooking oil like canola oil
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1/2 tsp black pepper
    • Herbs and spices of your choice
    • Cooking spray or oil mister
    • 1 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice, depending on your preference

    Equipment

    • Large mixing bowl
    • Baking sheet
    • Spatula
    • Large slotted spoon
    • Whisk

    Directions

    1. Fire up your oven’s broiler to get it warming up.
    2. Thaw the vegetables however you like in order to get them to room temperature.
    3. Drain and dry the vegetables by putting them on a towel and soaking up any surface moisture with gentle patting.
    4. In a large bowl, add the oil, salt, pepper, and spices. Stir well.
    5. Add the vegetables to the bowl and mix well to coat the vegetables.
    6. Spray the surface of your baking sheet with the cooking spray.
    7. Using the slotted spoon, scoop the vegetables onto the baking sheet, making sure to leave excess oil in the bowl.
    8. Spread out the vegetables to an even layer across the sheet, then put in the oven for 3 minutes.
    9. Add the vinegar or lemon juice to the mixing bowl with the excess oil and stir with a whisk.
    10. At the 3 minute mark, check the vegetables. If not done, rotate the sheet 180 degrees and roast for another 1-2 minutes. Your oven’s broiler temperature will dictate how fast this goes – if you know you have a super nuclear oven, err on checking sooner rather than later.
    11. Repeat checking and rotating every 1-2 minutes until they’re roasted to your preference.
    12. Remove the vegetables from the heat and add back to the mixing bowl with the oil and vinegar mix. Stir to combine.
    13. Serve.

    Fire roasted broccoli and cauliflower

    Secrets and Tips

    Whatever vegetables you choose, make sure they’re at room temperature so that they cook quickly.

    With potatoes, you may want to slice and parboil them first; depending on your oven, they may burn before they cook all the way through.

    With the cruciform family, especially broccoli and Brussels Sprouts, there’s a fine line between done and overdone, so check frequently.

    I like the baking sheet method for one other reason: you can make large batches, and have good leftovers the next day you can add to salads and other dishes.

    Enjoy!

  • You Ask, I Answer: Demonstrating Value to Coworkers

    You Ask, I Answer: Demonstrating Value to Coworkers

    Shannon asks, “Do you have any tips on how to demonstrate your value to your coworkers?”

    Value is defined by what you do that helps others. Depending on who the others are dictates what you report on. If your others are customers, then it’s metrics like increasing the lifetime value of the customer. If it’s audience building – which is a common task for marketers – then it’s demonstrating the size and the loyalty of your audience. What are you held accountable for?

    Remember that especially in larger corporations, your customer may not be a person buying from the company you work at. Your real customer, or at least the one that dictates your economic well-being, is likely a boss or coworker, and thus the question is the same – what do they value? What are they held accountable for?

    Proving value is all about data, analysis, and insights. What data do you work with? How do you show that your work is reflected in that data? What changes have you made to move that number?

    None of this requires any fancy tools beyond a spreadsheet and the ability to show change over time with a simple line graph.

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    In today’s episode, Shannon asks, do you have any tips for how to demonstrate your value to your co workers? Yes, value is defined by what you do. That helps others, right? That is value. What do you do that helps others, depending on who those others are dictates what value you provide and what you report on. So for example, if you’re others, our customers mean people who actually paid money to your company. And you’re in marketing, that it’s metrics like increasing the lifetime value of the customer. If you’re in charge of audience building and growing an audience, then your key metrics is going to be things like demonstrating the size and the loyalty of your of the audience you grown? So the big question is, what numbers? What metrics? Are you held accountable for? What is your personal KPI? key performance indicator? The definition I like to use is what number if it goes the wrong way, you get fired, right. And if it goes the right way, you get a bonus. If there isn’t a number, then you have a serious problem in terms of communication with your manager. And you need to immediately have a sit down and say, Okay, so what numbers Am I being held accountable for the manager doesn’t know, you probably should just update your LinkedIn profile. Right? Because that’s a company that is in serious trouble. So what is the number that if it goes the wrong way you get fired for that is, that’s that’s your starting point for understanding how you prove value. How you demonstrate value to the company and to your co workers. Now, in larger corporations, your customer may not be a human being buying from the company that you work at your real customer, or at least the one that dictates your economic well being is likely your boss, right? Maybe a co worker. And so the question then has to be turned around to what do they value? What are they held accountable? What of both? Or what are their KPIs? What are the numbers that they will get fired for? And how do you contribute to those numbers? When I used to work at at&t a long, long time ago, my job was to produce PowerPoint slides, well actually no produce a PowerPoint slide, I have a summer job as an intern. And my job was to take 700 pages of printed paper, call through them add up data from a certain field and each page that then distill that number down and have it in distilled essentially into two bullet points on one PowerPoint slides. at&t paid, I think minimum wage at the time was like five bucks an hour. It was it was not a lot. But they paid somebody almost eight hours a day just to produce those two numbers. And if that slide was linked by even 15 minutes, there was hell to pay. Because then my boss couldn’t give their boss who couldn’t give their boss that slide. Right? That was the whole job. And so I’ve thought it was really stupid for them to print out 700 pages a day paper and send that to the summer intern to digest down. So I wrote a piece of code in in Microsoft Visual Basic, that did as it just email me the spreadsheet at this was new at the time. And the person I was working with said I don’t know what email is, at&t had it. So I walked there, Harry, I’m at lunchtime and showed them how to email me the thing, like, Oh, that’s so much easier, I have to wait for it to print out like, yep, you can get your job done faster. And so they would email me the spreadsheet every morning and use Visual Basic to pull all the numbers that I was having to copy out by hand from the paper version, and add it up. And so instead of eight hours a day, I was able to turn that job into about a five minutes a day job because I was a summer intern just kind of wander the building for the rest of the summer. Whether or not anybody, my replacement, did that, or they went back to the old way, I don’t know. But the value I provided was to my boss, to their boss to their boss, in that instead of at at 3pm each day, you know, biting the nails waiting for that number to come in. They had it by 715 in the morning. They’re like this is great. Either they didn’t ask them to do anything else. But it was great. So that’s proving value by helping somebody else achieve their value faster. Right.

    Proving value is about data analysis and insights. So what data do you work with on a regular basis? How do you show that your work is reflected in that data? If you’re on the creative side? How do you show that your creative resonates better with your audience than somebody else’s? Right? So you could pull for example, all the social media data for the account that you’re on? If you work in social media, or the email date? If you work in email, or the SEO date? If you’re working in SEO? How do you show that your work is even marginally higher quality than the work that other people are doing? Prove that number, prove that number, whether it’s inbound links, whether it’s open rates, on your email, whatever number it is that you work with? Maybe it’s even just volume, the number of pieces of stuff that you’ve put out, maybe just crank out more of its productivity? And then what changes did you make to your own work routine, that move that number in a positive direction? And is it teachable? Is it something that you can then show your co workers and say, Hey, I found an easier way of doing this, let’s do it this way, if you want to, you want to. But look how much time I’m saving, look how much more time have gotten the day. Look how much less stress I have, because I did this thing and made it faster. None of this requires any fancy tools beyond a spreadsheet. And the ability to show like change over time with a line graph, right? It’s it’s easy stuff to demonstrate, you just have to do the hard work of a doing better work than co workers, and be understanding who your customer is what they value and how you contribute to that value. It’s really important to do that whatever that looks like. You know, in social media, if your job is to get more likes on Twitter, for your content, as much as we might disagree, agree that that’s an important goal of it as the goal that you’re being held accountable for then in your part of the world, that is the most important number. What are you doing to bolster that number to make it go in the direction that your company wants it to go? So demonstrating value is all about getting the data, analyzing the show what happened. And if it went in the right direction, building insights, explaining here’s why it happened, or here’s the best theory as to why it went that way. And here are my recommendations for how to make it go in the correct direction or go in the correct direction faster. At the end of the day, every company, every boss, every manager, every co worker wants things to be faster, they want to be better, and they want to be easier, right? more cheaper. But mostly easier. Everybody wants things to be a little bit easier each day. So what are the ways that you have made the lives of the people who matter a little bit? figure that out? And that is how you demonstrate value to your organization? Good question. Tough question. Tough question. As always, please subscribe to the YouTube channel in the news and we have a new YouTube video so a promise over the run after this. And of course, any questions leave them in the comments below.

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    In today’s episode Mark asks, What’s your take on how AI is going to impact things like design, like with tools and technology, the gender of adversarial networks, things like UX research, and so on, so forth based on video that was going around on LinkedIn, by Michael Turnbull. So let’s look at a couple of practical applications of this, because there’s a lot of big ideas. But there’s not a lot of implementation things you can take pick up and run with. So on the topic of generative adversarial networks, one place to check out that shows you the power of again, is in videos, research labs. So if you go to the AI playground here, there are a couple of different tools that can show you how a generative adversarial network works, and what it does. Let’s go first to the scenery thing, tool. This is a tool where it’s called Gao gam were you in your best Microsoft Paint impressions attempt to put together sort of a mediocre drawing? So I’m going to do a very silly kids drawing sort of thing here. And you can see this is clearly in no way would anyone think, Wow, Chris, you’re really a fantastic

    artist, right? It’s just pretty mediocre. So let’s put in us put in a river to here, right?

    Nice little river going. So the drawing on the left is in no way going to be ever mistaken for fine art have, again, go ahead and attempt to compose a photo from it, you can see, you get this really nice sort of photorealistic look from what is an incompetent drawing, that wouldn’t, you wouldn’t, you wouldn’t ever put this in anything, you’d even hang out your refrigerator. So this is an example of AI using what it knows based on a very large training library and generating it this way. I think this is one of them powerful applications of AI for things like design and UX and such, because up until now, the toughest part of creativity was talent, right, you had to have talent, you had to have years of training to be able to paint well. Now, we’re getting to a point where a literally a child could could put together a very simple image. And an artificial intelligence can attempt to assemble using its own skills, but the intended outcome. So this is an example of where AI will remove the talent limitations to a large degree and let our ambition be the only blocking point for what it is that we want to accomplish. Another example is the ability to use AI to clean up imagery. So images and designs, things like that, I’m going to load in a picture here of my dog, right, my dog. And you can see there’s a flower pot on the right hand side of the screen here, I don’t really want that flower pot and seeing you again, using generator out of sale networks, it’s going to attempt to infer what should be there, right and get rid of that flower pot. That’s pretty impressive, right? The ability to go through and remove things from imagery. Now imagine if you’ve got people out in the field, who are doing clip art or doing photo shoots and stuff. And there’s something in the images that you don’t want there. Right. You could go and reshoot the whole thing. Or you could just use AI to clean it up for you. At some point, tools like this will become commercially available very, very easily. And again, you could spend hours and hours and hours trying to manually clean up objects that you don’t want in your photos. It could take a really long time. And there are people who do this professionally. Why Why not have machines do some of the clean up. Another example is on content generation. So this there’s a tool called gt to from open API that allows us to load in text and have it generate new text. I’ve published some articles and examples using tweets. This is another example. I took the content marketing world team took their Twitter account loaded in here and had the software generate, I think 20 25,000 different tweets. Now some of these are clear Mrs. like yoga from fidget spinners, right? makes absolutely no sense. But this is also relatively on tuned model. One of the things that will become very, very prominent in the next year or so is the aggressive use of what’s called active learning where machines will put out a few outputs at a time. Assign a probability like yeah, this is this was a good one. This I’m not sure about for the ones this is not sure about going raise his hand say hey, human is yoga for fidget spinners, a good tweet. And we as humans will say I’ll and give feedback to the machine and it will then go back and retune over and over and over again. But instead of the the way is done now where you have very large, big neural network projects that get just tries to do the thing all at once. And then you come out sometimes with salad.

    It will allow us to ask the allow the machines to ask us, hey, before I invest too much in this, what do you think of this? What do you think of this and unlike the task of manually tagging and training models that we’ve done up to this point, which requires a lot of tagging, active learning will allow us to do it. iterative Lee with very, very few samples like hey, here’s 10 tweets, which one doesn’t make sense. Or here’s 10 ads that the machine has generated using image generation, which which visual do you like best, and now the human can go through and select them. And tune that up very, very quickly. So this is an example of using a transformer with a different type of neural network to generate a lot of content. Yet another one, this is a service called Eva. Eva allows you to relatively in a relatively straightforward format, choose some type of musical format, do your hyper parameter optimization, which is a nice way of saying change the settings and create music. What do you use this for? Well, of course, if you are a company that wants to generate, that needs to use music for things like videos, advertising, YouTube, right, and you don’t want to incur the wrath of copyright lawyers by using music that you don’t have, right, so you will use artificial intelligence to generate now, is any of this going to win a Grammy? No. Is it good enough for background music video? Yes, by far, it is good enough for speeches for intro videos on screen, you just pick the style and let the machine do the work. Again, this is a case of where ambition is the only limitation you don’t need the talent anymore. Now will there? Is there still a place for humans Of course, this is good enough. It is not great. It’s not amazing yet, right? It won’t get there eventually. But for today, we’re talking about practical applications that you can be using right now. To improve your design, your marketing, creative, there are plenty of tools that are available that are out there that you can run either in a web browser or right on your your desktop computer, and get a sense of this is really what works. One last example. That is one of my favorites, is the ability for us to to understand what’s working. And this is in Michaels video as well. Michaels video talked about being able to do testing Well, one of the my favorite things to do, because I have no life is to be able to understand on a website, what content is working best. And this is a service from my company called most valuable pages or MVP, using the type of machine learning to look at the journey somebody takes on a website and analyze and say these are the pages you need to focus on. Because they are the ones that help conversions the most. This type of feedback helps UX UI design, to know where to focus their efforts and helps understand the content. And then you can even deploy the same type of technology for what sources are sending you the most traffic, things like that. There are versions that will even allow you to identify, look what features on a page might be important. This type of machine learning again, all this runs on a laptop. We’re not talking about a million dollars of hardware sitting in a server room somewhere as long as you have the technical talent to implement it, or a company that you work with this will get you results.

    You Ask, I Answer: Customer Data Platforms and Personalization?

    Deborah asks, “Are you using or scoping out a Customer Data Platform (CDP) with the intent to implement personalization? Which tools?”

    Customer Data Platforms – CDPs – are something of a symptom of bad data management and governance at a company. If your data infrastructure and architecture is sound, you shouldn’t need a CDP. And if you need a CDP, you’re putting a bandage over the real problem. Fix the real problem – poor data management – as your main strategy. That said, if you’re looking to evaluate, take a look at Snowplow Analytics open source edition and Apache Unomi.

    In today’s episode Deborah asks, Are you using or scoping out a customer data platform with the intent to implement personalization, which tools? So customer data platforms, also known as cdp’s. Are there a software category that has popped up? pretty substantially in the last 18 months, David Rob, over at the CDP Institute, has done a great job of sort of spearheading the category. Fundamentally, the promise of these technologies is that when all of your data lives in silos, and you have all these multiple different vendors, you need a system that will talk to each of the systems and glue all of your data together so that you can process it, run analytics on it, and then send that data to other systems to take action on. So most often, it’s a marketing use case for this technology. And the idea being that you would go and do this and then send your data to add systems to email systems, and so on and so forth. That said, customer data platforms are kind of a symptom and their symptom of bad data management and bad data governance at a company. If your data infrastructure and your architecture is sound, you shouldn’t need a CDP. If you have really good integration. If you have a database of record like a CRM, if you have good Master Data Management cdp’s would a CDP would be a redundant. If you need a CDP, because your data is such a hot mess, you’re really putting a bandage over the real problem, the true problem where your efforts should go your time, your your effort, your resources, your budget, should be towards fixing the real problem, which is bad data management as your main strategy. Now, if you absolutely positively can’t for corporate governance reasons or because your company itself is just a mess inside, then yes, you can get a CDP and use that to put a bandaid on the problem. But with the understanding that you’re putting a bandaid over a bullet wound, right. There is no substitute for great data management internally for good data governance. So are there good cdp’s on the market, there are there are a number of good companies, there are a number of really good open source tools. Personally, if you’re going to go the that route, and you have the technical talent internally, I would go for an open source solution first, not because it’s cheaper. But because when you’re looking at a system like a CDP, as sort of a bad day from Master Data Management issues, you need a system that can scale with your company. But that you own, because the last thing in the world you want is for your data to be held hostage by a company that once they have all your data, and it’s all together and you become reliant on the system. They can charge you whatever you want, whatever they want. And you will have to pay it. If you use a CDP system, software that is open source that you run the system, you own the software, you own the code, you own the deployment. Yes, there are maintenance costs, there will be updates, they will be all the fun that comes with running an application in your own data center or your own cloud instance. But fundamentally, nobody can say Oh, hey, last month it cost you $5,000 to access your data this month is going to cost you 10. What are you going to do about it?

    Right, that’s the situation you do not want to have. So the two systems that I think are worth looking at the two projects that are worth examining. One is called snowplough. This is an open source project, there’s a commercial edition, of course, the open source edition is worth looking at. And you run that on its own cloud instance. And it connects to a whole bunch of backend services, AWS, Google Cloud, and so on and so forth. And it will take the time to set that up. But it is very robust. It can be very effective if you do it. Well. It requires, while all these packages, commercial or open source require a lot of training and a lot of rewiring of your systems. So again, one of the reasons why I’m hesitant on the CDB category is that if you are have the the money and the time to integrate across all your systems, you also could just do that with your own systems, your own databases. The other one that is very promising. And I would say if you’re going to place a bet, place a bet on it would be the Apache, I think it’s pronounced you know me. Apache, you know, me is it open source product project run by the Apache Foundation, which is the most credible name in open source period there, the Apache project runs, like three quarters of the web, in some in some fashion or form and some projects and their CDP project and you know, me, was just promoted to a top level project this year, which means that the foundation gives it a lot of money to build its code to maintain its code. It has integrations for all of your major systems. It has integrations for your website, and so on and so forth. You run it inside of a cloud instance, or you run it on your own server, which by the way, if you are in a highly regulated industry, being able to run this kind of system behind your firewall in your data center on servers and hardware that you own, he is really, really powerful. And so I would say if you want to go that route, that’s the system to look at. There is a tremendous amount of work that you need to do on governance, in order to make the systems work well. There is a tremendous amount of work you need to do on compliance. At trust insights, we were helping repair a CDP system for a client late last year and they just made a hot mess of it, it was it was not in good condition. No one had been trained on the administration of the system, no one had been trained on sort of the overall strategy of the system. And so, it became ironically it became a system that needed more maintenance than the systems It was supposed to connect to to solve the problem. So fix that real problem focus on that real problem with poor data management poor data infrastructure report, data governance, first and foremost, deploys CDP only if there was no realistic chance of getting your overall corporate governance or whatever to fix the problems that are causing the need for a CDP. And then I would say look at Apache you know me as your place to start. Because again, you do not want to be held hostage and an end up having to spend you know, ever increasing amounts of budget on a system that you don’t own, you fundamentally don’t have control over and that is likely to become a core part of your overall business. If you have an opposing opinion about the necessity of cdp’s I would love to hear it leave it in the comments below. Because change my mind. I would say if you have questions, leave them in the comments below. And of course, please subscribe to the YouTube channel and the newsletter and I’ll

    Machine-Generated Transcript

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    Today’s episode is on the open to pronounce that correctly, it looks like a Turkish name. asks, I saw your video about PDF tracking on Google Analytics, I wonder if we can see the source and medium of the traffic that clicks on a PDF like the came from social media or search, etc. Absolutely the whatever john is referring to is segmentation. segmentation is the ability to take apart any type of traffic, any type of audience in Google Analytics and analyze it more closely. Without a doubt, segmentation is one of the most powerful techniques in Google Analytics. And it’s one that honestly, I see, not a whole lot of people taking advantage of, even though it’s something can do right inside the applications built in. And it’s relatively easy to use. So today, let’s look at how to do that. So let’s switch over here. So here we are Google Analytics. And first, we want to make sure we understand what goal it is we’re going after, I don’t have a ton of PDFs on my site. So instead, I’m going to analyze, I want to know who’s been visiting my speaking page, which here, just want to make note of the goal numbers, this is gold number nine. Shameless plug, if you’d like me to speak at your event, will show how to how to do that. Alright, so let’s go into the audience first. And you can do this at any point in the application. Anywhere, there’s a segment box, you can create a segment, you can also do it in the admin section itself, going to add a segment here, creating new segment. And this is where we start to build the segment that we want. And in this case, we want to make it a very simple condition. So the condition is we want to filter on let’s filter on the outside on sessions. Because remember, there’s two levels, I have filters, you can use this the session or the user. And in this case, I think I wanted to do the session. And we want to look at goals. And you can see here the goals are all numbered. So we want to go down and find gold mine completions, speaking page visit and make this greater than zero. So that will help narrowed down to all the sessions where there was at least one, at least one, goal nine completion, we’ll call this speaking page, goal completions. Save that. And we can see there’s there’s some numbers there already. And now we’re looking at Google Analytics through the lens of people who have completed goal nine. So we can see how many people they were at one of them at two sessions, we can go down here and get a bit more into how to they complete this goal. For example, we see here, the majority was 76%. on desktop 20% on mobile, look at device overlap, see if there’s any here no data to look at there yet no 100% on desktop for device overlap. So we can skip past that. And now to St. John’s question, let’s look into the channels. We see 60%. Let’s clean that up. 60%, organic search, give or take 16%, direct 16% email 4% 5% referral and 3% two and a half percent social from here. The next step, if you want to dig into specifics is to look at the source medium.

    And your source medium organic search from Google specifically, my almost timely newsletter, yay, glad to see that still working, organic search from Bing marketing over coffee like to see that Facebook, Twitter. So this is very simple for decomposing a goal into the individual pieces. And this this goes on for you know, anything that you can do with a segment in Google Analytics, you can then turn it into a goal set to a goal and then dig into the rest of the application. You can look at for example, behavior flow, which is actually a really good thing to do for a type of goal like this, because you want to see, how did people get to the public speaking page, right 8% or eight visits came in on that 27 came in on this one blog post I’ve written here. That’s really important for me to know, because I want to know, did people get to that speaking page goal completion from specific content? And if so, I want to make sure that contents working well, right. So this is a blog posts, you know, that I should definitely be working on. Here’s one, let’s look at this group, how to start your public speaking career. That’s a post from 27. Hmm. If I want more traffic at the top of this particular funnel, the speak public speaking funnel, because that’s the goal. That’s a blog post, I might want to do some editing on, I might want to look at the content and see all the pages that people visit. During this. I see at a at a site you’re speaking, the career consulting, so on and so forth. A lot of public speaking stuff, no surprise there. If you’re coming in from public speaking, you’re probably going to check out the public speaking stuff. Now, this is a very simple way of just getting a sense of what content participates in this particular goal. The one thing I would say is that this is not a this is not enough, do like really good attribution analysis. For that you want to use machine learning you want to use an action, my company trusted insights has this as a service called the most valuable pages or MVP, where you look at all the interactions that lead to that conversion. And then you build attributes funnels very specifically for just that conversion, and what channels participate in most and help each other convert. Let’s take a look at what that would look like with the separate machine links, I’m going to pull up in the analytics everyone using our proprietary code, organic search still tops the list for the speaking page. This is a look back window of 180 days, the newsletter, Twitter, and so on, so forth. So you can see there’s a big difference between just sort of where the sources come in when you’re looking and in straight stock Google Analytics on go back here to the the acquisition section, when we’re looking here, at source medium just for the sessions, you can see that Twitter’s down here, let’s crank that back to 90 days to let’s do

    go.

    So Google direct, Twitter’s sort of number five, and then a bunch of other stuff. When we look in the machine learning version of this, we see Twitter gets more credit, because it is actually assisting these conversions, much more so than just being the last thing somebody did before coming in and hitting that page. So there’s a big difference between the model of Hey, was the last thing somebody did versus how does this help assist this particular goal. And by using machine learning techniques we can get we can dig in and better understand, these are the things that really contribute to just this goal. And make it give us essentially strategic advice, like do more of the things that are working, do less of the things that really don’t have much of an impact. So really good question efforts on in terms of how to think about this type of analysis. We want to dig in and understand our goals really, really well. And then use the best techniques available in order to in order to know what to do next. So good question. As always, if you have comments, please leave them in the comments box below.

    You Ask, I Answer: Nudging Blog Visitors to Convert?

    Ashley asks, “How do I get my blog subscribers to opt in to my other subscription So I can get them nurtured and moving down my funnel?”

    Let’s assume a blog subscriber is someone who has subscribed to your RSS feed, so they receive your blog posts automatically by either RSS or emails notifying them of a new blog post.

    Common tactics I recommend for increasing the power of your blog include:

    • Hardcoded blog footer recommending people subscribe/opt into email and other offers
    • “You may also enjoy” technology
    • Exit popups
    • Retargeting – check out StackAdapt here: https://www.trustinsights.ai/stackadapt (affiliate link for my company)
    • Blog content in multiple formats like video and audio

    This is all predicated on one key assumption: your blog and content are worth subscribing to and so valuable that people desperately want more.

    In today’s episode, Ashley asks, How do I get my blog subscribers to opt in to my other subscription so I can get them nurtured and moving down my phone. This is a guest using the HubSpot system because they they call these things subscriptions. Let’s assume that a blog subscriber is someone who has subscribed to your RSS feed. So they receive your blog posts automatically by RSS feeds, or by emails notifying them of a new blog post. Some common tactics to get people to do more once they’re on your website. Once they’re on your blog, and you want them to go other places or do other things. There’s, there’s a whole bunch, not one immediately that you should have in place is tagging and tracking for retargeting and remarketing, you can use Google’s built in remarketing technology for a Google AdWords or Google Ads has it’s called now that given any visitor on your website, you can pass that data to Google ads and show those folks either YouTube ads display ads, remarketing ads on search listings, but whatever the cases, you will, you definitely want to do that. You’d want to have the same type of tagging and tracking with pixels for Facebook, ads for Instagram ads for Twitter ads, wherever your audience is, you want a retargeting technology in place, you may want to look at native retargeting, we use a company called stack adapt, can check for a link in the show notes to a link to them. That for display and native retargeting as well, in terms of other things that you can do on site. One that has been very successful for me over the years is having a hard coded widget. In I use WordPress, you’ve been using WordPress for this, that recommends people subscribe to the blog, or the podcast or whatever it is that you want people to do. For me, it’s my email newsletter. And that’s a piece of code that goes in the blog itself. And when it renders when someone visits the website, it turns into a whole block of text. I don’t know on HubSpot system of if that same functionality is available, but I imagined is. And the reason that’s valuable is that there are a lot of other sites out there that will syndicate blog feeds. If you’re going to syndicate my content, sometimes without my permission, you’re going to get my ads too. So making sure that those are embedded in the text of your blog content. One that is very powerful is recommender systems. So this is we, on any website, particularly shopping websites, like Amazon, always say you may also enjoy using great analytics, my companies trusted insights offers this is a paid service called the most valuable pages, identifying the content that on your blog helps move people towards conversions that by your Google Analytics data determined by your goals, making sure that those pages that help conversion the most are best optimized. Now if you’re just getting your blog started, there won’t be a whole lot of data to work with. But definitely if your blog has like a year’s worth of posts, you definitely want to use something like that look into things like exit pop ups. So an exit pop up is a pop up that appears on screen when somebody moves their mouse or taps or whatever, or scrolls back up and gets within I believe it’s like 10 or 15 pixels over the top of the page, when they go to navigate away from your blog, that’s when you pop up and say hey, before you go, subscribe to whatever. If you’re going to use an entrance pop up, I will use one that appears after like 95% some of the content has been read so that you’re not interrupting somebody’s workflow in terms of being able to read the content that you’ve put together for them. And another thing is, I would make sure that your blog content is available in multiple formats video audio, like we’re doing here. Certainly, there are some great tools and great natural language programs. Amazon’s polity is a really good one where you can take the text, your blog content, feed it to poly, and it will generate an audio file of a machine reading it aloud. For those folks who like to enjoy content in different formats and have any preference for a different format. It’s It’s not bad, especially if you’ve done these other steps and you have a hard coded hard written example of you know, call to action like hey, if you enjoy this content, please subscribe to our newsletter. Having Polly read that out loud, make sure that people who are who are listening to your content if if that’s a choice they want to make

    is available and it gets into their ears as well. So a few really simple tactics to get rolling. The critical thing though, is this is all predicated on one key assumption. And that is that the blog content is worth reading is worth subscribing to and so valuable that people desperately want more. You know, you know, when you’re doing it, right, when if you accidentally miss a day or skip a day or skip a regularly published episode of your content, people email you or tweet at you or or dm you and say, Hey, where’s the thing? Right? Remember, one week I’ve I was on I was traveling, and I didn’t set up my newsletter. And I got emails from people saying, Hey, I didn’t see the newsletter, my inbox this week. Okay, cool. That tells you that you’re on the right track if nobody ever says Hey, where’s the thing? your content isn’t, isn’t there yet. So while these techniques in tactics are important, it is equally important to make sure that your content is insanely valuable to people but that they that it educates that it entertains that engages them the three E’s of content, if it isn’t.

    focus your efforts on that first, make sure that it is so good that people like it, that they share it that they talk to you about it. That it is something that they desperately want more of. So but those are those are some starting techniques. And if you’re interested in that most valuable content service let me know happy to just leave a note comments or DM me. As always, if you have additional questions, leave them in the comments below. Please subscribe to the YouTube channel and the newsletter. I’ll talk to you soon.

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    In today’s episode we are reviewing the IBM Watson studio new feature called auto AI or auto automated artificial intelligence. Now, before we begin full FTC disclosure is my company trust insights is an IBM registered business partner. We receive compensation for any purchases you make from IBM through US and US I receive indirect financial benefits. So FTC closures disclosures out of the way, auto AI is a type of automated machine learning which promises to help companies get to working artificial intelligence models faster given the data set, instead of the time it takes to go from data cleaning, prep, feature engineering, hyper parameter, optimization, model experimentation, and then to production that can depending on your data set, take a really long time.

    By the way, I promises to help companies do that in less time. Now, before we begin, there are both features and disadvantages of this approach. There is even though it can be very manual and tedious, there is some benefit. I’ve actually personally, there’s a ton of benefit to manually editing and cleaning your data set of

    and doing the feature engineering because it helps you get to know your data. And so if it’s something as mission critical, at least the first time through, you want to have a human do that after that, absolutely use automated machine learning. And one of the questions that people have had over over the last few months is, you know, will this replace data scientists know, and we’ll talk a bit more about that. But it’s not going to replace data scientists anytime soon. It will help data scientists workload get a little bit easier for the most common types of machine learning models. So let’s get into the environment.

    What we see here is Watson studio, and I’m going to fire up a an auto AI experiment. And we’ll do we’ll call this something auto test something. They’re really exciting.

    And our first experiment where you see here, you can add in testing data that we are adding training and data I’m going to throw in, let’s, let’s do some Google Analytics data, right? Google Analytics data is a rich source of information. And it’s something that a lot of marketers have access to. So this is going to be things like users and sessions and balances, and I have goal completion. So that’s what I want.

    All the way I’d help me do is help me understand, maybe a little bit better. What gets goal completions for my Google Analytics data?

    See, I dropped the data set in and asked me what do you want to predict? What do you want to know more about Of course, I want to know more about goal completions. Now here’s a bit of a landmine in this because

    Of the Way goal completions are structured is data set by pages, you know, one or two goals per page. So, auto a, I said, Hey, I think you’re trying to do a multi class classification. I’m actually not. This is again, why you can’t fully replace the data scientists with these software packages, because this is not a classification problem. This is a regression problem.

    So choose that I can choose the error metric, which again, if you are a data scientist, these mean a lot to you, if you’re not a data scientist, just go with whatever is recommended.

    But

    this is a case where that was not the correct prediction type. So it’s going to run the experiment. And what you’ll see next is if the entire pipeline of what Watson is going to do with this data, it’s going to read it, it’s going to split it into three pieces. Generally speaking, when you’re doing model testing for AI you’re going to do you’re going to split your data into three pieces. 60% of it

    Going to give them machine it’s going to try and learn from that and figure out, oh, well, this is your date, I’m going to try and learn what the patterns are, there’s 20% of it is going to be called test data. So once the machine first figures out, okay, I think this and this lead to conversions, it’s going to take the next 20% of the data set and test that, that conclusion out, see if that is is is true or not. And then there’s a third 20%, where it’s going to test the testing of the conclusion. This way, you avoid or you reduce the likelihood of what is called overfitting, where you make a prediction, that’s perfect. But then, when new data comes in, it goes off the rails. So it’s a split the holdout data, read the training data, do its own attempt at cleaning the data as best as it can.

    None of the automated machine learning tools, zero of them on the market, do a really good job of cleaning data perfectly. Right? That’s still the data that goes in still

    has to be good. And if it’s not good and it’s not in good shape models will simply not work. And this is true of Google auto ml. This is true of h2o Auto Mel This is true of IBM auto AI, it doesn’t matter whose system you’re using garbage in, garbage out, that’s going to be the truth forever just garbage. So, it then goes and chooses a model what kind of machine learning model would best fit this data?

    We see here it is chosen x g boost regressive. So extra boost is one of those popular algorithms that can help find

    what is likely causing regression or what it runs a regression model x g boost,

    which stands for extreme gradient boosting is probably the the most popular machine learning model for doing any kind of regression to one a bunch of cackle competitions and it’s just one in the toolkit. Now this is where auto AI has some real benefit for

    People who are trying to learn data science, I think this is a fantastic learning tool because you can see the choices it makes. And if you’re not familiar with the choice, and you go look it up and read up on it, but if you see the choice that makes any figure, okay, that’s an interesting choice. Why did it choose that? As it’s going through, you can see here on the on the bottom, as it makes each pipeline of learning, it tells you why it made those choices. So ranking based on the error that click on this pipeline data, you can see how it evaluated the model, the R squared error model information and the feature importance what it thinks is most likely to predict goal completions. And now it’s going to go through a few stages of really the the machine learning experimentation the exploratory process. So the first thing is to is hyper parameter optimize optimization.

    Hyper parameter optimization is you

    Really, really fancy way of saying it’s going to play with the settings. So an extra boost algorithm has a bunch of settings. It’s like It’s like an app on your phone. Right? An app on your phone has settings, you can make this you know the the app louder, we can turn off notifications or stuff.

    A machine learning model is a piece of software. And therefore what it’s doing now is it’s testing it’s running simulations to test. Okay, what if I turn the brightness up on this

    an extra boost to be like, How many? How many runs? Am I going to do? How many times Am I going to try this thing? How many different splits the data we’re going to make? Out of the box? You know, there are certain defaults in that and then what the software is doing is testing all of the defaults to see, do we get better error rates out of this test based on trying out different settings, once it does hyper parameter optimization is going to do feature engineering. And this is where

    I’ve given this feedback to IBM, I think there’s a little bit of a bit of a misnomer. It does feature extraction. feature engineering is a five part process, right? So you have things like extraction, where it’s going to try and create new features from the existing data, which is exactly what this does. By doing things like multiplying columns together or dividing columns or adding or subtracting. There’s a part of feature engineering that called feature creation that we bring in net new data from the outside, it does not do that. So there’s only a limited type of feature engineering. And then it does another round of now that’s got more data to work with because it’s created these imputed columns to do another round of hyper parameter optimization. Now this will take probably 10 or 15 minutes, so we’re just going to pause here and and let it do its thing and come back when it’s finished baking.

    We’re back it’s been a little more than an hour.

    And what we can see here is that Watson has gone through and created four different machine learning pipelines, one with just a straight x g boost algorithm, one with some hyper parameter optimization, that tuning of all the knobs and dials on the different extra boost models. One with feature engineering done, and one with a second round of hyper parameter optimization after the feature engineering is done. So let’s take a look at see what what we see here we have four different pipelines. And with each of the enhancements, there’s the straight, I just analyze the data that you gave me and built a model on it. And then we see pipelines three and four have identical outcomes. The same route means squared error rate. One has feature engineering and hyper parameter optimization one has both. Let’s take a look at pipeline forces has the most number of things that have happened to it. We’ve got a small r squared. We’ve got the model information. We have a whole bunch of feature training

    formations that have happened. You see it through here, there’s all these PCA that stands for

    principal component analysis. It’s a way of reducing the number of total features because it means essentially, there’s too many for the machine to find a good conclusion from. And then of course, additional engineered features users, the difference free users and sessions and so on and so forth. So let’s go back and look at compare now at the quote number one model, which is pipeline three

    yc pipeline three has the about the same art actually does have identical r squared,

    same feature transformations

    as the previous one.

    And here it’s saying that new feature to which is the difference between users and entrances is the most important feature as moderately important with the score of point 31. for determining what, what drives or what predicts goal completions.

    My Google Analytics data now if we were to look at let’s in fact look at what this similar setup would look like in a different programming language. This is a the language are and you can see in h2o which is the auto machine automated machine learning model that runs inside of our one of many do the exact same thing. There’s your your training the split data, there’s your testing this you’re running your models, then there’s the leaderboard with comparison of the different types of outcomes came up with and its outcome, which was averaged one page sessions and average session duration. Know what’s missing here. None of the hyper parameter optimization or the feature engineering has been done on this The h2o is auto ml literally just takes what you give it and it does its best, but it doesn’t do any of those extra steps. So what do you do with this right? You’ve got this thing what now what what what happens? You save this as a model

    Inside your, your Watson studio environment and then you deploy the model using Watson machine learning that gives you a an API connection that you can then send additional data into this for and have the it score and predict like yes, will this convert or no will this not convert. And from that information, you would then build software, maybe build a special chatbot on your website that only pops up when certain conditions have been met, the ones that we see here, in in these models, maybe you use this to change your marketing strategy, if you know that the difference between users and Sessions is important in this model, maybe you use that information to figure out what kind of user what kind of

    or what type what kind of

    person or session is happening on your website, that you can then build additional features on your website, maybe different copy depending on what you can come up with.

    So this is a useful tool for getting that model into into production. And being able to make use of it being able to, to hop, operationalize a lot of a lot of these insights.

    There are still gaps. There are still things that I personally would have done differently.

    But there are also things he has like, Huh, I never thought about doing that. So this is not only a good tool for getting your model into production, but also for learning from it and going okay, well, maybe, maybe I need to think differently about the types of data I include, we see that Watson is doing a lot of these mathematical operations on different variables. Okay, what if we include more variables? What if we include different variables? What if we pull more data out of Google Analytics or your Salesforce CRM or your HubSpot instance, or your social media monitoring tools doesn’t matter what but putting more data in will let the model have

    More to work with now.

    As you said at the beginning, this does not in any way replace a data scientist, there are still gotchas, there are still things that it can’t do within this, this framework there even still things that from a, a modeling perspective may not be the best choice of what’s available. For example, if you want to determine what drives conversions, there’s a particular model that I use a lot for trust insights customers called Markov chains. It’s not available in here. It’s not available in here and it’s something you have to build by hand. And that is a better way of doing attribution analysis. But this is not bad. But there are limitations to what auto AI can do. So

    takeaways.

    One, regression classification built right in no code. This is that’s a I think an important thing.

    Does those basic data science has like feature extraction or hyper parameter optimization? I think those features are really useful for someone who’s learning data science. Someone who knows what kind of general outcome they want, they just want the machine to go through and build it quickly.

    some disadvantages, obviously, you’re limited in the number of models. Watson auto way I can choose from there are limitations. Your data has to be good going in. You can you’ve seen here, even though it doesn’t feature engineering, it doesn’t preparation, it does not validate. Wow, this is really dumb data. Right? For example, at no point did it say, you know,

    those are not the columns, Google Analytics, I would choose. The system simply doesn’t know that doesn’t have the domain expertise. You still have to provide that domain expertise, you still have to provide those insights. And the last thing, which I know according to the team, is coming at some point is the ability to go back and tune the model at any

    In a more granular way, it’s not available in the platform yet. So

    should you use this? It’s worth a try, especially since you can try it for free. If you go to IBM data platform data platform, cloud, IBM com, sign up for a free account, try it out, test it, see how it works. There are other features within Watson studio, you can also test out and try out.

    Am I going to use this to replace all the work that I do trust insights? No.

    But am I going to use this situationally as another tool in the toolkit? Absolutely. It’s one of those things that is worth doing, even if just to validate my own models to be able to look at it like when I’m looking at my, this auto ml model is did i do enough to engineer the data? The answer in this case? Probably not. Right? There are some more things that even I can learn from an add new features to the data sets that I already work with. So if you’re learning data science and

    A great tool, if you know what you’re doing great tool. If you want to learn this great tool, give it a try doesn’t cost anything to get started.

    Machine-Generated Transcript

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    In today’s episode, Erica asks, I’m going to release an E book soon, I’m using ebook to, to build an audience and really an email list any advice on do’s and don’ts about launching the book. So, launching an ebook, like any form of content marketing, blog, podcasts, YouTube series, an E book, white papers, webinars, you name it, is really Product Marketing, we think of these things as part of marketing and in a medicines they are. But to successfully launch a piece of content, we need to treat it as a product and and launch it as a product, it’s no different than, you know, you have a book a real book that you’re trying to sell, you want to have the same kind of battle plan, you may not have the same level of resources that a the paper book or commercial book may be doing when you’re doing content marketing the launch, but you want the same style process to ensure consistent success for your content marketing. And that’s the key. Consistent success comes from our process. So let’s look at one process, the 70 framework. This is a framework by my company fresh insights. Let’s bring it up here. So it’s a seven step process to building this framework from idea to iteration. The first is the discovery phase. Have you done your market research? What does the audience really care about? If you’re building content marketing, and you’re building it for an intended audience? Who is that audience? What do they want? What do they care about? This is where things like search data are going to be really important. Seo keywords will tell you, this is what the book should even be about. But it will also guide you towards the creation of eventually your landing page and things like that. The second stage is defined, what are the product requirements? So formats? in your market research? Did you check to see do people just want it in PDF format? They want in mobi format, which is the Kindle format, iPad format for I books and stuff, ebook format. Are there is there an audio book requirement, you need to have all these product requirements fleshed out in order to make the book as successful as possible to give people as many options as possible for that book, in the format that they want to consume it? Third is design does the what is the content going to have feature wise? And this isn’t just like, you know, the cover of the book this is throughout the book? And then what are the other features that are going to be in it? Is there an interactive website? Is there a quiz? Is there a worksheet a workbook to go with it? What are the add ons that someone would expect a do be part of a book in the modern book marketing era. Fourth is your deliver going to, you’re going to create a market ready product. Now it’s for some businesses, they’ll call this minimum viable product. But because it’s an E book, they really it’s it’s very binary, either book is done, or it’s not done. But this is the hard part of actually writing and creating the the final outcome. And then the illustrations and all the the formatting that, again, makes a great book stand out from a not great book. And yet, a part of this is going to be how it looks from a look and feel perspective, right? You’re going to have there are some business books that have a very specific feel to them, right? They have certain types of text. There are other business books that have a very different kind of feel. J bears talk triggers, you know, that has a lot more whimsical stuff in it, and things. So what is, from a delivery perspective, when you’re building this thing to market ready product? What What is it going to be and how you going to put those pieces together? fifth step is deploy this is your go to market strategy. How are you going to market? Are you going to bring it is it going to be for sale on Amazon is gonna be free on Amazon, something to really think about. You can get a lot of incremental success from having a book on Amazon. Even if it’s an E book for marketing purposes. Why not put it on Amazon for free? It’s the world’s largest marketplace for pretty much everything. Where else is this thing going to market? Is it going on the company website is going on your website is? Where Where will people be able to get this thing? Which brings us to the next stage, which is distribution. This is where the as the automotive folks say the rubber meets the road? advertising, PR, marketing sales, how are you going to get this thing out to people? Is it going to do Facebook ads are going to do Twitter ads, Google AdWords, YouTube ads, things like that? Do you have a mailing list, one of the things that’s a meta part of this framework outside of the framework is

    to be a consistently successful author or to be consistently successful marketer, you need to have a database you can draw on repeatedly over time, you have to give value for months or years. And then once in a blue moon, you ask for value from that. So do you have a distribution channel or multiple distribution channels? If you don’t? Do you have budget to reach out to influencers? People who have large mailing lists? Do you have money for media buys things like that, that will help you distribute this piece of content, as far and as wide as possible? I don’t know that I would have a massive distribution plan for you know, just a standard white paper. But if it’s a true book, that you’re really trying to make successful, you need to have that distribution plan, budget. And the strategy for it. Finally, is the development process. So you know, you’ve done all this, you’ve got the books gotten the market, it’s done. Okay, now you start doing iterations and development of it. That can mean a couple different things. One is like, my friend Jay Baer does this frequently. With his books, he will take a take a main book, and then he’ll break it into pieces. So they’ll be he didn’t want a book while ago called utility, that He then made utility for banks utility for finance, utility for insurance utility for healthcare. So can you take that ebook that you’re doing, and then put a different lens on it each time through and then go back through the cycle. And each time you now do market research, for example, you go back to the discovery phase, and do market research for what does your book look like for the healthcare industry and repeat the process. The second is, of course, multiple additions, Second Edition fourth edition, I just released my own book AI for marketers, the second edition. And there was a whole going through this process all over again, to be but to radically change what I did the first time around. So this is the process for product marketing,

    treat it, treat it an E book as such, especially if

    it’s being if you’re doing it for with a clearly defined goal like building an audience building an email list, then you have clear metrics and stuff that you can use to flesh out this framework, but deliver your product to market like this. Great question. As always, there’s a little there’s a ton more to unpack in here, but this is a good start. If you have any follow on comments, just leave them in the comments below.

    You Ask, I Answer: Marketing Skillsets to Hire For in an AI Age?

    Denis asks, “Are there new skillsets that marketing leadership should be hiring based on the impact of AI will have?”

    The answer to this question is contingent on the types of AI solutions your company will be deploying. Broadly speaking, you’ll be needing to identify efficiencies for AI to automate, increasing complex human work like true innovation, leadership, domain expertise, and creativity, and inspecting and tuning the outcomes of AI.

    The skillsets required would include strong data analysis capabilities, machine learning expertise, and the soft skills around innovation, leadership, domain expertise, and creativity. The latter will be the hardest, because it requires experienced recruiters and HR staff, as well as hiring managers, to be able to understand innovation and creativity.

    What you won’t be hiring for are repetitive tasks and repetitive work. If it’s repetitive, AI will do it, so those roles will be smaller in number.

    Machine-Generated Transcript

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    In today’s episode, Dennis asks, Are there new skill sets that marketing leadership shouldn’t be hiring for, based on the impact that AI will have? Yes, the answer to this question is contingent on the types of AI that your company will be deploying. For example, if you’re just going to do something very limited, like, I don’t know, put up a chat bot, then you might want somebody who has a natural language processing experience. For example, if you’re going to be building your own chatbot, from scratch, but broadly speaking, you’re going to need to identify the efficiencies for AI to automate. So that’s going to be one type of person you’re going to want to be able to hire. Those are people who are good at process management, project management, Product Manager, management, Business Process automation, and about whole soup of acronyms that goes with that total quality management, Six Sigma, you name it, that’s, that’s going to be one bucket of people, people who can help you decide what problems you want to solve with artificial intelligence. The second group of people you’re going to need are people who can help you increase the quality and the quantity of complex human work. So that will be things like interpersonal relationship management, true innovation, people who can actually innovate, there are, there are a lot of people who use the word innovative, very few people who actually are very few people who can create something new, that didn’t exist before. Another area where you will need more people rather than less is going to be around leadership. Again, there are a lot of people who claim the word leader, there are not a very many people who actually are leaders. And of course, creativity. This is an area where you will need more people who are truly an actually creative. Again, a lot of people use the word, not a lot of people can do it. The third group of people you’re going to need are people who can inspect and tune the outcomes of AI, it will be sometime before AI can be just given a pile of data and and come up with good answers that require relatively little to no cleaning up front, or improving on the backend iterating improving on the backend. In fact, there’s an entire branch of AI right now called active learning, which has a human in the loop sooner. So for example, if you’re trying to classify customer service inquiries, and the machine knows it can do I was a positive inquiry that was a negative or unhappy inquiry. And then there’s probabilities between those those two ranges. Active Learning allows the machine to raise his hand soon and say, Hey, I don’t know what to do with this one. This might be sarcasm, it might be might be someone who’s happy and unhappy at the same time, what do I do? And so active learning involves people with subject matter expertise to help to and the machine. That is probably the last area I would say in one that encompasses or stretches across all these, which is domain expertise. There is going to be a tremendous call for people with greater and greater domain expertise in their industries. What do you know about your industry where the tips, the tricks, the hidden things, if you’ve got, you know, a little more gray hair rather than less? What have you learned that can be used to help tune and codify the results that people are getting? That is so powerful, and so absent? And a lot of machine learning work? A lot of the problems that we see happening with AI and machine learning right now is you have statisticians who can build a theoretical model, you have coders who can turn into code. But in a lot of cases, there isn’t someone of domain expertise to Satan. That’s not how that works. A real simple example would be, you could have somebody say in food science. And the coders, the statisticians are saying, well, these foods clustered together most of these.

    And the coders codify that and no one’s saying, folks, you got to put, you always got to put salt on tomatoes. Because the food science person, the food expert knows that tomatoes contain a natural form of glue tannic acid, which when you add salt to it forms a, a natural, MSG is right tomatoes always tastes better with salt. But a coder and a statistician would not know that only a domain expert would know that. So that’s an example where you need people who have domain expertise, whatever it is, your company does, to provide those little tweaks that make things so much better. Now, in terms of skill sets, you’re hiring for strong data analysis capabilities across the board, that is going to be required for pretty much everyone, as time goes on being able to look at a data file that goes into a machine or look at the machines output and say, yes, that’s good, or no, that’s not good. Machine learning expertise, you’ll be hiring for some of that people who can tune the machines built them. Not everyone has to do that. But you do need a few people who can really get under the hood and make this the systems and software work. And then again, you’re going to be hiring for innovation, for leadership, for creativity, and for domain expertise. This last category, those soft skills, for the most part, and domain expertise is more of a hard skill. It’s going to be so hard. That’s the part where you will make or break your company your outcomes. Because as someone who used to be a recruiter, having someone used to be a hiring manager, identifying skills like innovation, and leadership and creativity are extremely difficult. Everyone says they are. How do you test for that? How do you discern that how to even test for whether a person is going to be a good fit into your company. One, one hiring trick I remember from the old days was to ask somebody describe their accomplishments of their last company. And if if they use words that were almost exclusively about that, well, I did this and I did this and I had a team, but I did this, that person’s probably not a good team player. Right? As opposed to, I did this and I work with the team. And here’s how I supported the team. Or here’s how the team supported me, or in this result is this was a group effort. And here is my role in this. This Africa, here’s what I did to help this effort come to fruition, but understanding that there was a lot more to what that effort was than just what the just what the one person the individual contributor did. Now, the one thing you won’t be hiring for repetitive tasks, and roles that are largely repetitive, if it is repetitive a machine is going to do it. And what you’ll see happen is those tasks will go away first. And then as those tasks go away, you will see the number of people needed in that role to get smaller and smaller. So for example, I used to work in the public relations industry. And there was one type of role that was largest copying and pasting all day long, that’s going away, right, that role is not needed in any capacity. Because the machine can do that you don’t even need to do that. You can just use regular programming to take that work and make it better and faster and cheaper with machinery. So look at the roles in your organization, if is 7585 95% repetitive work, that the tasks that role will do will will go to machines. And then the role will simply consolidate and diminish and eventually for some roles absolutely will go away. If someone’s job, for example, is literally nothing more than getting coffee for somebody else. That role is probably going to go away because as companies get more productive and get better at measuring productivity, they’ll see that that’s not generating business impact. So lots to unpack here about the skill sets that marketing leadership should be looking for, but it really boils down to data capabilities, soft skills, and domain expertise.
