Why to hire human copywriter when AI can do the job

Good question, that many many many zombies throw at me when I discuss Copywriting. Of course Copywriting is not for zombies. If you are a person or company who has hired a Copywriter to make money then do not hire. Your goal is survival and not zoom or use change as an opportunity. Your question is pretty similar: why drink water when I have sweetlime tree in the backyard and a juicer in the kitchen. However, if you are a professional, business person, company or someone looking to make a change then a Copywriter is worth hiring. Why? If you are a beginner and truly stuck between thoughts of hiring a writer or going with AI, my suggestion is Go with both. Chose a human to use tools, chose a Copywriter to write and encourage him to use AI in creating copy. AI connects you with libraries worldwide and presents data in certain formats. It cannot add human touch. AI can not differentiate between good and bad, AI does not know who is your audience. A Copywriter can seek help from AI to fetc...

When working with National Network of Education I found one major flaw in online file naming, there was no system. I was not getting how those .html files are appearing in random format. Upon checking I found every developer and content creator was naming files randomly. Finding files on local computer was tough and looking file names in database was useless as you will never know what is inside till you open it in a live browser. I instructed team to name files correctly and productivity multiplied. This is back then when SEO of things was rising and we win over SEO by default not by hooks and crooks. Indeed that was one point only when I joined company and in a matter of two to three days I discussed with CEO. Irrespective of which OS you work with tracing file location is difficult, truly difficult. I am a great fan of productivity and love to save on time, that sets my OKRs; OKRs in my work ...

Avoid

A-void, if we look into the word Avoid, we can break into two different words A' & Void' In life we need to avoid negative sources of energy. Irrespective of who you are, student, job goer or business person, situation arise when you need to avoid some particular people or situation. You need to create 'A Void' and the source of destruction. Often what happen is, in the process to avoid we overthink about that particular and negatives. The negative emotions that we build within our mind create much stronger association, we think more and more and do the damage. The law of physics says, negative attracts. The negative thoughts that we feed in our mind attracts that particular set of object or person. Better remedy to avoid is, assign yourself new set of responsibilities, engage with better things, better thoughts and better emotions. When you are engaged with better things there will be no space in your mind to let in negative thoughts. Avoid does not employ you...
