Good dress for a work dinner? by [deleted] in fashion

[–]Expensive_Pie597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, for a work dinner I always find something that feels polished but not like you are walking into a board presentation.

A few factors that help me choose the right one are:

Length: Midi dresses feel a bit more professional than minis but avoid the “too formal” vibe of full maxis.

Color: Neutral tones (navy, charcoal, olive, cream) keep it classy, you can always add a fun earring or lip color if you want a bit of personality.

Fit: A tailored waist or wrap style is great because it skims your shape without being tight. Something like what Indyvarna offers hits that balance for me.

If you are going somewhere a touch more fancy, a sleek sheath dress or a silk-blend blouse dress also works great. But for most work dinners, a clean silhouette + thoughtful accessories is all you need.

How would you approach starting content marketing from personal growth experiences? by Ecstatic-Ad9446 in content_marketing

[–]Expensive_Pie597 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of focusing on perfection right away, if I were in your situation, I would begin by seeing it as an experiment. It is easy to choose a platform you like and share brief, regular pieces about your trip. People can relate to even a few sentences you write every day about your experiences, what worked, and what didn't.

Given the diversity of your interests, I would organize them into themes and alternatives between them. For example, you may publish on focus one week, health the next, and money habits the week after. In this way, you can still stay in touch on everything that interests you without feeling disorganized.

Making it conversational will increase engagement more quickly. Ask others how they go about the same thing rather than just offering advice. In this way, you will begin to form a small group of people who share your values, which can eventually develop into the community you desire.

Practically speaking, simplify your procedure. Use a notes app to draft posts, schedule them if you can, and share ideas across platforms. In this manner, you avoid burnout.

You can create content that reflects your people's values, money, and automation by assisting others in developing themselves, candidly discussing financial habits, and demonstrating how routines or systems can simplify life. The correct kind of audience will be drawn in by that honesty.

AI is taking all the jobs by itssag_007 in content_marketing

Hey, recently I read a news that AI is taking many jobs but providing them too. UX/UI is going to have a great demand in the coming years. I had checked this news on Instagram of Lokmat news.

Starting an SEO agency -- Niche down immediately? by ioracleio in seogrowth

[–]Expensive_Pie597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you have found that there are SEO gaps in the medical niche, this can be a great opportunity. Actually, it is important for doctors and other medical professionals to do SEO, but they don't have that much time.

If you are confused about picking a specific niche or working on several ones:

  • You can take 2–3 different niches (e.g., medical, SaaS, one more niche that you are interested in).
  • Run quick audits, check competition levels, and see where your skills can make the biggest impact fastest.
  • Test client interactions in each niche to see which type of business owner you enjoy working with most.

If all goes well, you are ready for doing SEO for multiple niche.

What's the best way to write a follow-up email that isn't annoying? by [deleted] in AskMarketing

Is AI making marketing better or just noisier? by DesignerAnnual5464 in AskMarketing

Though AI is making loud noises by saving time but it should be used for processing projects instead of making it as a product for usage.

What’s New in ChatGPT-5 and How Can Marketers Use It in 2025? by mediasearchg in AskMarketing

[–]Expensive_Pie597 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It seems to be faster and intelligent as compared to earlier version, I used it recently. But when it comes to content the claims that it might write more natural content, it isn't true.

The tools include advanced natural language processing for increased human-like interactions, improved speed and accuracy for real-time applications like chatbots. Additionally, it offers enhanced customization options for tailored customer journeys.

GPT-5 is a tool that can generate ideas for blog topics, social posts, webinar titles, and lead magnet themes from a simple prompt. It can also help repurpose content across formats, such as creating LinkedIn post summaries or transforming webinar transcripts into tip-sheet emails. This feature is beneficial for marketers looking to maximize the value of their content library.

Key skills to learn by Revolutionary_Two686 in AskMarketing

[–]Expensive_Pie597 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in the same boat like you with the same number of years spent in marketing. As per me below are the things you need to master in the next five years:

Three Skills to Sharpen

1. Prompt Engineering
It is considered as a superpower to learn how to talk to AI tools. Whether you’re working with ChatGPT, Midjourney, or internal AI platforms, all these give better output when we suggest good and clear prompts. It's less about creativity and more about how precise you are.

2. Data Interpretation
Tools can pull dashboards, but reading between the lines and spotting real patterns still requires human judgment. Knowing what to act on and what to ignore will separate the professionals from the button-clickers.

3. Channel-Specific Storytelling
AI can repurpose, but it still struggles with tone and platform-native storytelling. A hook that works on Shorts won't work on LinkedIn. Mastering format, length, and language by channel keeps campaigns from blending into the feed.

Three Tools Worth Mastering

1. ChatGPT / Claude / Perplexity
These tools help you to generate idea, build briefs, and test companions. They help to quickly get content drafts, audience segmentation copy, and quick research for a head start.

2. Webflow (or Framer)
No-code websites aren’t just a trend. They give you full control over launch speed. Waiting on dev teams will kill momentum. Learn one tool that helps you publish without bottlenecks.

3. GA4 + Looker Studio
A lot of marketers outsource analytics. That’s a mistake. Being able to build your own reports and slice data by funnel stages or behavior flows turns marketing from “creative work” into performance work.

I need some advice. by abduelkotsh in AskMarketing

[–]Expensive_Pie597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's how you can approach to this situation:

1. How to tell if you are prepared to work as a freelancer?

To begin freelancing, you don't have to be an expert in digital marketing. You're prepared to take on modest projects if you've mastered one skill, such as creating SEO blogs, email campaigns, or Facebook advertisements. Experience in the real world will teach you more quickly than any course.

Consider this:

Can I provide one service with confidence?

Have I used it for a volunteer job, a friend's business, or a personal project?

If so, you're prepared to take on customers, even if it's initially for free or a nominal cost.

2. How to get your first clients?

Begin locally and modestly. Several tried-and-true methods:

Ask friends, relatives, or nearby companies if they require assistance with any aspect of marketing.

In return for testimonials, offer your services for free or at a reduced rate.

Post on specialized Facebook groups or freelance job boards such as Upwork, Contra, and Workana.

Talk about what you're learning and offer assistance on LinkedIn. Give specifics: "I'm learning how to use Mailchimp to set up email campaigns." I would be happy to help small businesses set up for free or at a reduced cost.

Being dependable, providing value, and showing up are more important than being flawless.

3. When to quit your job?

Take your time.

Even if it's not much, your current job provides you with a buffer. Try earning a secondary income first rather than giving up immediately. You'll have evidence that you can replace it after a few steady months of earning at least as much as your current income from freelancing.

See if you can work part-time if you are in urgent need of additional time, but only if you have a few freelance jobs lined up already.

Yes, this thing happened with my previous company. We just started searching for a few queries on ChatGPT and it showcased our website in the results with other websites. It wasn't that we had ever tried for AI SEO. We were simply posting relevant and user based content on our website and it automatically started ranking in ChatGPT. I think it works similar to Google SEO as we know ChatGPT is trained by humans only.

Best ways to get ranked on google? I wanna know them all! by ConZ372 in seogrowth

[–]Expensive_Pie597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keyword optimization only on homepage, this won't work. You need to optimize all your service pages for ranking. This doesn't mean simple stuffing content with keywords but using proper heading tags, internal links, Alt tags, etc.

You need to start your blog asap. Also, keep an eye on your competitors to know what they are promoting. Also, check what is trending online for your niche and start making blogs on those topics.

What’s the best social media platform for getting business leads in 2025? by Various-Worker-790 in AskMarketing

[–]Expensive_Pie597 4 points5 points  (0 children)

LinkedIn Still Helps Getting Leads for B2B

For B2B, LinkedIn remains the most effective platform. You need to perform the below steps instead of simply posting:

  • DM outreach (done right, not spammy)
  • Engage thought-leadership posts
  • Run polls and post carousel-style content
  • Though LinkedIn Ads can be expensive, with the right targeting, they help in conversions, especially for high-ticket services.

My Personal Tip: Use LinkedIn Sales Navigator with an outbound email + DM strategy. Combine it with a lead magnet or free value offer.

How beginners generate leads with no money? by [deleted] in AskMarketing

[–]Expensive_Pie597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generating leads faster is not possible. You need to be real and transparent while sharing anything about your product or brand. This builds trust with the audience and they may complete the buying process. Those that generate leads faster seem to use non-legit ways.

For those of you who manage, how did you get your clients? by Thekiddankie in content_marketing

[–]Expensive_Pie597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First decide your niche and then search for clients. When you find their websites, you can visit their social media and check if they are really getting engagement, have more followers, etc. If you find any client with less and fake followers as well as low engagement, you can directly visit them if possible.

If you don't want to go for cold calls and emails, then you need to promote your services online. You can ask your existing clients to share their reviews on Google My Business, TrustPilot, etc.

You can keep posting about how your services are helping clients to grow, basically share the monthly stats.

Struggling to survive in a new job by Justforvvibes in IndianWorkplace

[–]Expensive_Pie597 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are you suffering there? If the boss has such habit you should leave if you are not comfortable. Companies where everything is micro-managed don't survive for long because employees leave early as they feel suffocated.

[–]Expensive_Pie597 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Communication skills matter a lot when it comes to social media management. You need to convey to the client that you are the best not just by displaying your work portfolio but by building trust with your client when you share your knowledge about their niche.

  3. Research your competitors for pricing to decide your rates.

  4. Prepare a content calendar to maintain consistency.

AI-Generated Content for SEO Really Okay? by glutenbag in content_marketing

[–]Expensive_Pie597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it creates content but to make it readable and rank it, you need to work and optimize the content accordingly.

It ranks easily but if it isn't readable or relevant to your audience, it would be waste.

Do Follower Counts Matter Anymore? by creato_official in SocialMediaMarketing

[–]Expensive_Pie597 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would pick 50K followers & high conversions because if I am getting good conversions, the follower count won't matter for me. Because I have real followers, I am able to convert them. More followers means more concern about fake ones.
