AI for Marketing Software Platforms

Future Success Today: Become an AI Authority and Supercharge Your Marketing

I’m a marketing pro on a mission to become an authority on Artificial Intelligence (AI) so I can use the tech to help clients with faster and improved marketing and business – with better results.

I’m looking forward to us doing this together. Nobody can do it alone. Here’s what I’ve found up to this point.

From predictive analytics and machine learning algorithms to natural language processing and chatbots, and visual creation systems, I’ve been searching to understand how these innovations can enhance customer experiences and drive results.

How I’m Using this New AI Knowledge

As I learn these complex AI concepts and skills, I’m working on crafting them into simple, actionable insights and projects for my clients.

Most importantly, I’m trying it out. Learning by doing is the only way with new tech.

I’m experimenting with AI-driven software for marketing content and campaigns, including:

  • An AI video generator called Synthesia. Still a bit robot-like but amazing that it can do it.
  • Learning prompting on ChatGPT (OpenAI) and Bard (Google) to generate more ideas.
  • Creating realistic images and art from a description in natural language with DALL-E.
  • Using SoundDraw to generate custom music for use in video.
  • Multiplying video content with Vidyo.
  • Doing creative headline and keyword research to maximize SEO with VidIQ.

Seaweed Invasion Town of Palm Beach 2019

Disturbing Footage of Seaweed Overtaking this Popular Beach!

So far it’s not as bad as 2019 in Palm Beach County. But, it’s pretty bad. The Sargassum bloom is out of control again. This is in Ocean Ridge, Florida.

Sargassum is a seaweed that can accumulate along the shoreline in large amounts, making the shoreline inaccessible for swimming, boating, and other recreational activities. This beach seaweed overflow is happening again.

If you live near the coast and have experienced the beach seaweed overflow in the past, then you already know what to do! Be sure to check out our site for more information on this and other coastal issues!

See the feature story I did in 2019 when it was really bad in Florida, the Caribbean, and South and Central American coasts:

Historic figures height comparison

Height Comparison of Historical Figures

What does Hitler, Stalin, Gandhi, and current Russian President Vladimir Putin all have in common? They were/are all 5 feet 4 inches tall. Putin’s a shrimp?!!

See the height of all the rest… Hint, Napoleon wasn’t as short as you think when comparing all the rest.

The heights of historical figures, a topic that’s sure to elevate your interest! Let’s take a look at some of the most notable individuals from history and see how they measure up:

First up, we have Napoleon Bonaparte, the legendary French military leader. Despite his larger-than-life reputation, Napoleon was actually quite small in stature, standing at just 5 feet 6 inches tall. But don’t let his height fool you – he still managed to conquer most of Europe and leave a lasting impact on world history.

Next, we have Abraham Lincoln, the towering figure of American politics. At 6 feet 4 inches tall, Lincoln was a literal giant among men. And with his lanky frame and distinctive top hat, he must have been quite a sight to behold.

Moving on to ancient history, we have Julius Caesar, the Roman emperor and conqueror. Although his exact height is unknown, it’s said that Caesar was of average height for his time – around 5 feet 7 inches tall. But hey, he still managed to rule over one of the greatest empires in history, so we won’t hold his lack of height against him.

And let’s not forget about Genghis Khan, the fearsome Mongol warrior who conquered much of Asia and Eastern Europe. Although he was reportedly quite short – around 5 feet 2 inches tall – his military prowess more than made up for any lack of height. Plus, he had an army of fierce warriors at his disposal, so it’s not like he needed to be tall to strike fear into his enemies.

Last but not least, we have Cleopatra, the legendary queen of Egypt. While her height is estimated at 4 feet 9 inches tall, it’s said that she was known for her beauty and charm rather than her towering stature. And with her wits and cunning, she managed to rule over Egypt and forge alliances with some of the most powerful men in the ancient world.

So there you have it – a lighthearted look at the heights of some of history’s most notable figures. Whether tall or short, they all managed to make their mark on the world in their own unique way.
