shared his favorite: "The way we spend our days is the way we spend our lives." -Annie Dillard
The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need people who can dream of things that never were.
What are your favorites? And how do you keep them handy?

First, start by identifying the top three most pressing topics, once have those prepared...Its off to the races Research and Planning (Duration: 1-2 days) SME (Subject Matter Expert) Interview (Duration: 1 day) Create First Draft (Duration: 1-2 days) Internal Review (Duration: 1-2 days) Revision (Duration: 1 day) Final Review (Duration: 1 day) Publish (Duration: 1 day) What does your content creation process look like currently, and does it set you up for success on a consistent basis?

How Is IMPACT Prepping For The Shift From Current SEO...Post
Nathan Dube I won't pretend I've tested every tool out there, but this one is the one I'm using currently: https://writer.com/ai-content-detector/(it called me out on my own writing vs ai writing accurately :S)I think the factual part comes into how granular your content is. So for example, one of the articles I (tried to) AI for my own company was about luxury wedding venues here in KY- it completely destroyed that one and not in a good way. It did fine on easy to crawl info like the addresses, but failed when it had to go a few pages deep into the website (pricing, for example).I will say that it's great news that we have multiple rounds of edits baked into our processes through TAYA- having SMEs a click away to check over info is awesome, I just always have that nagging fear in mind that we don't want to create unnecessary work for others. I know when I pulled that wedding venue article, it wound up being more time consuming just to fix everything than it would've been just to write the thing myself!

Google Analytics +/vs HubspotPost
Hey Winnie Anderson ! This is a common question even for those that look at data every day on these platforms! It can be confusing to know when to look at each one. Here is a video I made for a newsletter a while back that talks about the difference between the two.In terms of your specific case, if you have yet to dive into either, I recommend starting with HubSpot and getting familiar with the data you get there. It is honestly easier to use, and less convoluted. It will also have 99% of the data you most likely will be looking for. I have also made a graphic that helps you identify the overlap and the uses for common reporting platforms.

These are definitely more on the professional side, but they've stuck with me since the day I heard them, and have helped me tremendously throughout my career.
The first is from the one and only
