Can we talk about AI-generated flyers for a sec? 🙃

Published 9 days ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader!

My husband isn’t really on social media — and yes, I get the irony, seeing as I teach social media.😜

So every now and then, a conversation about my work comes with a little detour to explain what’s happening on the interwebs.

A couple of weeks ago, I was ranting about AI-generated flyers, and he had no idea what I meant. I'll be honest, I have never been so jealous of his blissful ignorance. I’d happily take a time machine back to before my eyes were accosted by all those identical flyers.

I opened up Instagram and showed him three in a row, for completely different businesses. The colors and pictures were different, and one wasn’t even in English. But his reaction?

“Oh, they’re all the exact same flyer. They look identical.”

And that’s what bothers me so much. There are real people behind those businesses, with their own approaches, ideas, and reasons someone would want to work with them. But very little of that comes through when everything looks and sounds the same.

I see the same problem with AI-generated websites. Your logo and colors might be there, but can someone understand what makes your work different? Do they know what you actually do and how to hire you?

Those are the questions I’m digging into in this week's episode of Bold Women in Business, along with what to check before putting an AI-generated website out into the world.

If DIY is what your budget allows right now, you have options. You can be proud of what you’ve built and still make it feel more like the business you’ve worked so hard to create.

Boldly yours,

How to use AI ethically in your business without losing your voice

Hey Reader! If AI saves you 45 minutes of work, what are you supposed to do with those 45 minutes? According to approximately every productivity bro on the internet, the answer is apparently more work. Create more content! Build another offer! Optimize something else! 🙃 It's the same pressure to squeeze something useful out of every second of your day, now with a whole new set of tools to help you do it. And honestly, it's exhausting... So I loved where my conversation with Erika Stanley went...

Hey Reader! I have a tendency to get a little offer happy — and I have a feeling you might, too. It's one of the blessings and curses of entrepreneurship. We've got 12,000 ideas bouncing around at any given time, and we're always looking for more ways to help our audience. But how many times have you gotten excited about one of those ideas, created an offer, and put it out into the world... only to get crickets in return? (Tell me it's not just me 🫣) This week, I'm sharing a conversation with...

Hey Reader! It’s funny how quickly "I'm going to try this" can turn into "Welp, I guess I have to do this forever now." You start posting on a new platform. You add a service. You decide every client gets a particular extra. At the time, you have a reason. Maybe it's a good one! But now you're tired, the business has changed, and somehow that thing is still on your list because, well, it's on your list, and people expect it from you. Or at least you think they do. Over the summer, I took my...
