Hi Reader Over a million of young Italians left their country in the past 10 years. These 25–34-year-olds are saying arrivederci to cities like Rome, Florence and Milan because of low salaries and job opportunities. A few years ago, Ireland faced the exact same problem. Thousands of Irish my age quit the country and boarded planes to countries like Australia and the US because the Irish government bailed out the banks. A good chunk of these emigrating Irish never came home. A few friends of mine who emigrated only come home at Christmas. The same thing happened here in the 1980s. Those who stayed called the phenomenon the “Brain drain”. Things were harder then because you couldn’t start an internet business. Unemployment and a high cost of living isn’t fun, but you can work from anywhere with a creator business. You don’t need to buy a one-way plane ticket to Australia or Bali unless you want to. I’ve no plans to depart from grey overcast Ireland to Bali because my kids are in school and we’ve a few other family connections. But, technically, I can work from anywhere. I only need a laptop and an internet connection to run my business. And sometimes I do. I wrote some of these offer-driven daily emails over Xmas while staying at a hotel with my wife, kids, and friends in the not-so-sunny southeast of Ireland. Last Summer, I spent six weeks traveling around Croatia with the kids. In the mornings, I worked, and in the afternoons, I went to the beach.

I tested Google Gemini’s content creation capabilities. I wanted to see how it stacks up against ChatGPT and Claude for creating business copy. Google Gemini offers two interesting “gems” (think custom GPTs) for content creators: Copy Creator and Writing Editor. Copy Creator helps write taglines, mission statements, and social media posts. Writing Editor focuses on fixing grammar and improving content structure. I put both through their paces using content from my daily newsletter. When I fed...
Your existing content is like an untapped gold mine - most creators keep digging new holes instead of mining what they already have. I’ve spent years writing online, It can easily become a full-time, low-paying job if you keep digging. One method for getting around this problem is building a content library of your greatest hits. It’s easier to repurpose content if you have a library that you can draw from. Another method is tracking a few key weekly stats across each channel so you can see...
I spent years obsessing over niche selection. When I was a Forbes columnist, branding myself as “the productivity and leadership guy” seemed like a safe bet. I covered topics like time management, leadership, and getting sh*t done at work.I mapped dozens of hot niche-specific topics in a spreadsheet and published articles like: The Fastest Way To Accomplish More This Week How To Use The 4 Ds Of Time Management 4 Common Mistakes New Home Workers Make I wrote about these topics not because they...
