Home-Based Businesses are Exploding!

Today, 50% of U.S. businesses are home-based businesses. That number increases to 60.1% when looking specifically at non-employer firms, or companies that don’t have any employees.

Add the number of employees that work from home and it changes the perception of a home. Buyers are now overwhelmingly looking at how their home can function as a business.

When selling a home, consider how that home will meet the buyer’s needs to operate a business there too.

We bought our property with that in mind and are getting ready to launch our home-based business in our new town Lake Placid, FL.

Our need was to have a property big enough, pretty enough to operate an art studio, hold occasional events, and have amenities already in place for our business.

We found it on Lake Huntley, a 1.2 acre lakefront home with 2 dozen oak trees, dock, and a shed we could convert.

AI Copywriting – Does it Work?

AI system logos

AI copywriting is the hot new tool in the marketer’s toolkit, but let’s not get carried away. Yes, AI can churn out content quickly, generate headlines, and help with product descriptions.

But can it do the necessary customer research and craft compelling copy that stirs emotions, persuades readers, and builds lasting customer relationships? Not quite.

Great Copywriting Secret

The secret to great copywriting has always been understanding the customer / reader / viewer — what makes them tick, what keeps them up at night. It’s empathy and insight that AI, no matter how advanced, can’t replicate because it doesn’t know who your customers are and what they care about.

So, while AI can assist with certain tasks, it won’t replace the power of a skilled copywriter who knows how to do market research with actual customers and connect on a human level. Are any of the AI systems going to contact your customers and learn about them? No.

AI Copywriting is a Gamble
