Time is money.
And that's never more true than when you're a one-person business trying to wear all the hats at the same time.
When you aren't working directly with your clients, your time is going into tasks you'd rather not be doing:

Content marketing
Sales strategy
Managing finances
Dealing with staffing issues.

The list goes on.

AI can help with many of these areas, freeing you up to work on the bits you LOVE doing.

I've switched from writing using my brain only (OK perhaps with a bit of Google research too) to AI-assisted writing.

What does that mean for me? 

I use AI for planning, structuring, brainstorming, challenging my ideas, outlining, drafting, editing and summarising.

What does that mean for you?

You get more, better quality content than before because I can be more efficient when I work alongside an AI tool.

I'll be launching an AI Success Hub this summer for small business owners who want to use AI tools to become more efficient but don't have the time, knowledge or motivation to learn prompt engineering. The prompt library will contain a range of detailed, thoroughly tested AI prompts across a range of business areas including, strategy, finance, sales, marketing, HR, admin, risk management etc.

In the meantime, ask me for my freebie - 'Work Less, Achieve More: 6 strategic AI prompts to save, time, money and frustration. I'll add you to my email list for future prompts (unless you prefer not to, no worries).

If you'd rather offload your content creation, I offer AI-assisted retainer packages for SEO blogs and social posts starting at £300/m.

Wait? What! You couldn’t make it up. 

The Government fine parents for pulling kids out of school to go on holiday because ‘even missing one day of school adversely affects your child’s education’ (utter garbage, imo)

and yet they are now having to consider the idea of schools going to four day weeks to avoid teacher burnout and stem the rising tide of teachers leaving the profession. 

Make it make sense.  

What do you think about a 4 day school week? How would that impact your work/business?

Michelle Eshkeri (ACMA) 

l turn your drab finance info into content marketing that ranks on Google and ChatGPT etc. 👉 Blogs, Social/GBP posts and emails delivered to your inbox from £300/m.

10 things you should never say to your copywriter…

and the replies you’re likely to get…


‘lt shouldn’t take more than an hour’ (Wait! You’re telling me how to do my job?)

‘l could do it faster myself’ (Well, be my guest and knock yourself out, then)

‘l can get a writer overseas to do it for half of that cost’ (See my previous response)

‘You must acheive a 10 x ROI within 3 months’ (Right, and l’m going to marry Prince Harry 🤣)

‘Send me a 1000 word sample piece and we can talk about the project’ (Ha ha, and for your next joke?)

‘I usually pay by the word and this copy won’t need many.’ (Wait! You’re telling me how to do my job, AGAIN?)

‘Give me your best rate for a 500 word blog’ (That is my best rate. Take it or leave it)

‘I can’t pay you but it’ll be terrific exposure to my audience’ (People die of exposure)

‘l need it at 3 pm tomorrow’ (What do you think l am a fcuking miracle worker?)

‘l’ll tell all my friends if you give me a 50% discount’ (The last thing l need are even more bargain hunters)

Have you ever said any of these to a copywriter OR are you a copywriter that’s heard these before? 

What other client comments p!ss you off?

Tomorrow has traditionally been one of my least happy days of the year. 

l have to produce content about the Budget as quickly as possible after the Chancellor stops speaking. ln days gone by that would mean sitting at my keyboard writing while the speech was going on but that makes it very easy to miss important points. 

These days there’s no need to do that because l can record the speech, feed the transcript to my AI ‘pal’ and have it create the first draft of the blog which l then edit. The AI can repurpose the blog into social posts, emails or anything else l need. 

lt makes the entire process much less fraught and l get time to think about tailoring the content to the audience rather than simply getting the main points down. 

So, although financially AI has had a negative impact on my business this year, this is a big upside. 

Tomorrow afternoon will be a breeze instead of a storm. Thanks Claude 😊

What task that you don’t relish has been made much easier by AI?
