Effective Content Creation, Assisted by AI
In today's fast-paced and competitive business landscape, effective communication is key to standing out. Whether you're crafting compelling marketing content, insightful reports, or persuasive sales materials, the way you write can make or break your success.
Yes, of course, you can just use AI to do your business writing for you -- and, according to this recent survey by NP Digital, that's precisely what nearly nine out of ten marketers are already doing, using AI to create their writing content, at least in the US.
But note that 60% of marketers are letting AI do the writing.
And that's a big problem.
The Google March 2024 Crackdown on Low Quality AI-Written Content
In March 2024, Google announced that with their latest update they're cracking down on low-quality content in search results -- in other words, the very type of generic content that AI typically creates when left to carry the writing load.
Google expects that the combination of this update and their previous efforts will collectively reduce low-quality, unoriginal content in their search results by 40%.
But what if there was a way to harness the incredible potential of artificial intelligence to revolutionize your business writing AND provide effective human oversight?

Facebook can offer so much more than I thought as a medium for communicating with our current and prospective customers. Julie D

The course format was great and allowed knowledge to be built up over time. Course length was great and this will definitely be something i come back to constantly as we develop our Facebook pages more within my company. Aleisha H
- I have really enjoyed the course and the way it was structured. It was informative and interesting – liked the way you incorporated slide-shows, video, statistics and different forms of media to provide information. Lisa C
