Hello, Buddy!
Google is developing a new feature that makes waiting on hold for customer service wayyy easier. Yup, when you search up a company and call them, instead of waiting for them to pick up, you'll get notified when they are available to speak.
In turn, this might be great if you work in customer service since it could mean fewer angry customers and more time to handle other tasks.
..Or not?

THE BIG IDEA
The Rockefeller's Trap
I recently saw a video of a 22-year-old guy who makes 8 figures (in dollars) from eCommerce. But of course, we see these types of stories every day, so what makes this guy any different?
Now, I can go on about his life story, complete with heart-wrenching tales of how he lost his loved ones, that might even make you reach for the tissues. But maybe that's not what you need right now.
What's really interesting is how he explained his journey from making 7 to 8 figures in sales. He mentioned something about escaping "The Rockefeller's system’’
In case you didn't know, John D. Rockefeller is the guy who invented the system of school and work. So if you hate your 9-5, feel free to vent to him. Oh, wait - he's already resting in peace.
By escaping the "John D. Rockefeller's system trap," the 22-year-old meant stepping aside from the norm you’re already used to and thinking outside the box when brainstorming for sales ideas. Raise your hand if you’ve heard this advice from most successful people ✋
Yeah, that says a lot.
But, if you're curious about what he actually meant and how you can also apply his nuggets of wisdom, go ahead and…
..Because in 2024, we’re earning in every currency except this dwindling naira😂

STORY OF THE WEEK
I Get Paid To Post Bad ChatGPT Articles (Rant/Advice)
So I've been at my current job for about 6 months. I'm new, my previous job was part-time in the same field and I was the only marketer/designer.
My current job is also part-time. This time, there is another digital marketer. He is the senior.
When I started, the websites looked amateur-built. I fixed them up. Well, as much as I could before they wanted me to focus on articles and SEO. Some still have old pages, but I'm not allowed to fix them. I feel bad for visitors. But not my problem.
The articles...where do I start? We use SurferSEO and ChatGPT. They're nice tools. Problem is, I want to write good articles and I can do that with these tools. But I'm not allowed to. We have to use the bad AI-generated headings, paragraphs and suggestions. And the keyword stuffing... so many unnecessary keywords. Keywords that don't make sense or are grammatically incorrect.
