I still remember what it was like on November 30, 2022 when I used a VPN to get into the first version of ChatGPT.

I thought it was a little like magic.

I had used tools like Jasper, Copy.AI and Writesonic and while they were fun to play with, they were pretty awful at producing anything that felt like more than a haiku or a set of dot points. So this was different.

But pretty quickly all the marketers and MLM peddlers were using it and by mid 2024 the internet was overrun with AI-generated text that we all began to recognise.

And while the tools got better, the people haven't. My little experiment with Pangram couple of weeks ago showed me that.

So my first workshop of NT October Business Month on the first of the month is all about getting your AI to sound more like you in two important ways. One in the tool. One in your ex*****on.

It sold out on the weekend, so I'm moving it to a bigger room an adding another 20 spots. Grab one of them here: https://t.ly/sAGD0

I had never heard of Jurien Bay before I spotted it on Google Maps in June as I looked for places to deliver workshops in regional WA.

But it's roughly 40% of the way back from Geraldton to Perth and seemed like the only other town kinda on the way back that might bring in a few people for the Digital Solutions program. After all, they don't get a lot of programs dropping by there.

And it's got a pink lake that influencers take photos at.

So I was sold.

So I'm heading there next week.

An early morning coffee catch up (a few people have already booked!)
A bit about AI tools for small businesses.
An update on using social media.

It's all free (apart from the $5 for the coffee to make sure they actually turn up!) but otherwise - but I suppose most of you won't be heading to Jurien Bay on the 23rd of this month, but just in case you know someone who is there, I'd appreciate you passing it on to them.

I'd love to meet them.

Oh and send them this link: https://t.ly/G0PwP

My travel spreadsheet is getting a little unmanageable, so I gave it a quick glow-up in Google Sheets using Gemini so it's more useful.

The original sheet acts as the database for whatever changes I now enter into the app. It also means that I can expand this into a dashboard of tasks to do, money spent and add more information as I'm going.

I do love my spreadsheet, but honestly, this is far neater and more useful.

I don't want to get into all that 10x growth DM spam them till they buy strategy stuff. It doesn't work for small business.

It works for course creators and LinkedIn coaches (or so they like to tell us when they're selling a course on how to do it.)

This is just 30-minutes on the basics that someone new to LinkedIn for their business would need to know to get started at finding their people, sharing their knowledge and not annoying people into AI slop oblivion.

That's all.

It's free if you have an ABN (and even if you don't I can find a way to get you in!) and on tomorrow. Reg here so you get in and get the resources afterwards: https://t.ly/zo4m4

If you'd told me 10 years ago that I could buy a domain, build a website and make it live in 1 hour, I'd have laughed.

Yet I did this with a client yesterday. A real client.

I could never have done this back in my Joomla and WordPress days. It just wasn't possible.

Oh and I forgot one important bit - the hosting of the website was free.

WTF?!?

All it took was:

1. A clear brief to ChatGPT
2. A domain name for $10.35
3. Cloudflare
4. A few tweaks to the words and images

And we have a website live in 32 minutes. The rest of the session was just getting it on Google Search Console, adding some Meta pixel code and making sure it was ready to be indexed in Google and ready to receive ad clicks from Facebook.

That's the reality in 2026 for a baby business just taking its first steps.

Not a $5000 quote from a web designer for a pre-revenue one-person business.

These here are crazy times!

I've never been to this town before. But I already know that is suffers from the same reputation as almost all regional centres.

"Nothing to do here."
"What a sh*thole."
"Ok to visit, but wouldn't want to live there."

Yet Geraldton is also a thriving port, agricultural centre and service centre to a large region around it. And to be honest I'm also looking forward to the near five-hour drive ti's going to take to get me there from Perth in a couple of weeks time because I'll get to listen to a few podcasts. And like every town I've never been to, I'm really looking forward to seeing what it's really like on the ground, rather than what the almond-milk-latte-sipping set find convenient.

So if there's someone you know in Geraldton who could use a hand with all this AI and Social Media for Small Business stuff, send them this way: https://t.ly/MpaJ8

It's free and I've still got a fair few spots left.

Take a day off from working at home each month and come with me at Darwin Innovation Hub. Connect with people and ideas through the day.

Working from home is great - until it's not. Eventually you miss brainstorming and chatting with others about ideas - and getting support on some of the things you're struggling with.

Coworking Fridays at Darwin Innovation Hub bring you together with people who get it. They've worked from home too - and they're really wanting to make connections while also getting work done.

The next one is on Friday September 18 from 8am. I'm hosting it. See you there.

Most social media advice is written for people who enjoy social media. Post daily. Make Reels. Be everywhere. If you hate the process, that plan doesn't fail because you lack discipline. It fails because nobody sticks with something they dread.

This 60-minute online class builds the other plan: one to three posts a week, no video, AI and Canva doing the heavy lifting, one batching session a month.
