Was I ok?
Marketing news and tips for the week of December 3rd, 2024
Was I ok? Did that sound ok?
Chances are you’ve asked one of those questions in 2024. In fact, Oprah says that every single one of her guests asked a form of this question at the end of an interview (2 minute video).
At the end of the day, we’re all human and want to know that what we do or say matters. How can you let the people in your community know that they matter to you by the end of 2024?
Something to think about this week 💡
A new analysis estimates that over half of longer English-language posts on LinkedIn are AI-generated. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? For LinkedIn it may be good as it means that their users are leveraging the tools they’ve built.
But what does it mean for the readers of this content?
Here’s my take.
We live in a busy world and a tool like ChatGPT helps people do things faster. But when it comes to establishing yourself as a thought leader, is less more? Should we be focused on providing content of value with original thoughts vs. leaning into the pressure to create more.

Something to do this week
Take one content idea and play around with it to see how many different ways you can tell a story. This is something I do regularly as a way to test my creative juices. You never know what you’ll come up with. Here’s a draft I have sitting in my notes at the moment around my hunt for the perfect red skirt. Which story would you like to see me build out more?
