On this episode of Women Conquer Business, we dive into the world of AppSumo and its various tools and features for businesses.

A new AI writing tool, ChatGPT, is discussed along with concerns about plagiarism and the loss of personal writing style. The host also shares her personal experience with AppSumo, finding useful courses and tools such as MissingLettr and Social Bee. She also discusses Luna, a cold outreach sales program, and the benefits of owning a platform like Bonsai.

We cover the vetting process for AppSumo Select products and general recommendations for using discounted software and tools for supporting tasks rather than mission-critical ones.

Our take: Social media is volatile. This is why it's essential to have spaces you own (e.g., a website, email marketing), rather than rely on social media.

Hello Audio. Your audience is on the go. We make sure your content is too.

Quickly turn your content into private podcasts available on regular players like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts. 

Women Conquer Business' new community includes private audio courses hosted on Hello Audio. Here's what the private audio feed looks like on Spotify. I tested Soundwise and a handful of other private podcasting software platforms. Hands down, Hello Audio makes it incredibly easy for content creators and listeners.

Have you ever seen a deal where for one low price, you can get dozens of courses, books, and master classes? That's called a product bundle. Product bundles can be great email list-building experiences.

• State of Marketing: Salesforce Research
• Looking ahead, marketers see improving skills in content marketing, campaign strategy, and data analytics as crucial to success in the next 2 years.
• Google has an updated algorithm that focuses on whether content is ‘helpful’ and ‘satisfying’ for web visitors. Is the content focused on people first? (Google’s definition of ‘people first’) — for our take on this, go to these episodes:
• Topic Clusters
• Skyscraper Pages

Supapass content business website builder for non-technical entrepreneurs.

Our Take: Supapass allows you to keep 100% of your money, making it a decent alternative to Patreon. However, its pricing is steep for the beginner/bootstrapping podcaster unless you're getting it on AppSumo.

Several Meta employees and contractors were disciplined or fired for using an internal tool called "Oops" for unauthorized access to user accounts.

Meta's breach of customer trust comes on the heels of Twitter's chaos since Elon Musk's takeover.

Social platforms are fluid at the moment. Now more than ever, it's important to claim and maintain a space you OWN rather than rely solely on volatile social accounts.
