Sharing Economy

Leave a reply

What is the Sharing Economy?

The sharing economy is a peer-to-peer (P2P) economic model. It facilitates acquiring, providing, or sharing access to goods and services. Sharing economies have existed throughout history, but in modern times the sharing economy is experiencing a revival with the support of community-based online platforms.

I have created a fresh video for my students. The sharing economy is a long-debated topic for our business English and business development classes!

What is your role in the sharing economy? Are you a supplier or a user? How can you use the sharing economy to your benefit?

Video Content For My Students

1 Reply

💥Even if I am first and foremost a passionate writer, I cannot overlook the power of video content.
In a previous article, Stats about content creation that very few people are talking about, I mentioned a few details:

💥Visual Content Dominance
Stat: Visual content is processed 60,000 times faster than text.
Source: According to a study by 3M Corporation and Zabisco.
Implication for copywriting: Incorporating visually appealing elements in copywriting, such as images, infographics, or videos, can significantly enhance message retention and engagement.

💥So, I have strived to create AI-generated video content, as I am not a deft filmmaker.
But I use AI to generate videos based on my articles to create a useful trove of content for my students, who can enjoy continuous learning outside of our classes.

Did You Know That Quora is The 56th Website in the World?

1 Reply

According to Similar Web, Quora is the 56th website in the world with 826.4 million monthly visits, of which almost 78% are organic.

Incoming traffic from:
chat.openai.com
presearch.com
idcrawl.com
google.com
medium.com
poe.com

For me, Quora is a treasure trove of knowledge and intriguing facts.
I answer questions about literature, poetry, literary trends, SEO, business development, and so on.

Lately I have answered the following questions:

How can I write a good poem today?

Can you name some well-known female authors who write under pen names or pseudonyms?

Which is the best free SEO tool?

Search Engines vs Artificial Intelligence

1 Reply

We live in the age of information that is quickly transitioning into the Age of Choices.
Please read more in my old article from 2018: Are you a rebel writer?

How easy is it to find information?
How do you find accurate information?
For, let’s say, two decades, I have been using Google and accurate keywords to find information. The best example for me was finding a certain song that I loved from the soundtrack of a movie, and I used to paste in keywords on YouTube.

Lately, I have been experimenting with the AI, and I attended a conference at Esxence, Milan about the AI and the art of perfumery.
Please read my report on Fragrantica.com: ESXENCE 2024: Artificial Intelligence Perfume Day

During my exploits I was wondering if we were dealing with a revolution from the point of view of search engines and the AI, as many people also report that they employ the AI solutions to find pertinent information.

In my opinion, and as I mentioned in my report for Fragrantica, I ALWAYS check my findings unearthed by the AI.

If we look at data, according to Similar Web, OpenAI had more visitors than Google in January 2024.

Conclusions
From the point of view of search engine optimization, the game is changing, yet again, with AI the major game-changer. Never a dull day for us, SEO scholars.
Where does this lead ?

Students’ Stories

My students are stories on two legs, armies of kind feelings, fleets of questions, and wonderful partners in crime, doing their best to master the English language, making use of all kinds of actions, such as growth hacking.

A growth hacker is “a person whose true north is growth”. – Sean Ellis

Some students have retold their difficulties in collaborating with other speakers overseas.  

Some of my air traffic controller students have reported a few details about classified incidents involving airplanes and alien sightings.

A solicitor stated that one of her clients unknowingly signed a contract and subsequently demanded that she sever the ties, realizing that performance was rendered impossible by the newly added provisions that were not mutually agreed upon.

Other students reported about starting four businesses, failing all of them, then being successful in the fifth. 

Some engineers told me that some tunnels in the metro network in Bucharest are rumored to be haunted. They received first-hand information from their colleagues who were in charge of the maintenance of the underground tunnels. That’s a scary story.

I have another amusing anecdote to share from my students who attended an English course held at the motion picture studio where Cold Mountain was shot. They realized they needed some help with their English when one of their colleagues asked Anthony Minghella on the set, “What did you say?”

What Is A Side Hustle?

1 Reply

More Companies Are Starting as Side Hustles

New data from payroll company Gusto shows that 44% of new business owners in the US launched their ventures while working part- or full-time last year. That’s up from 27% in 2022.
Source: Bloomberg

What is a side hustle?
It is a piece of work or a job that you get paid for doing in addition to doing your main job:

More people started selling things online during the epidemic due to a surge in entrepreneurship caused by millions being laid off after Covid-19 lockdowns. The shift to online shopping created new business opportunities, leading to a significant increase in newly established enterprises in the United States, exceeding pre-pandemic levels by over 50%. Americans’ interest in side hustles grew during the epidemic due to financial strains, prompting individuals to seek additional income sources. Factors like rising prices, financial burdens, and reduced salary increases also contributed to this trend, with generative artificial intelligence enabling individuals to manage side hustles alongside full-time jobs.

Generative artificial intelligence, like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, has made it easier for people to run side businesses while working full-time by speeding up company setup and proof of concept. While AI can serve various purposes such as marketing campaigns, video editing, graphic design, and e-commerce strategies, its effectiveness is limited and cannot fully replace human creativity.

Next, I will go over some straightforward side hustles to get started with.

Business development is a key topic in our courses.

I cannot but remember Elon Musk’s words:
“Starting a company is like staring into the abyss and eating glass.”
This quote perfectly captures the essence of what it takes to build a successful company from scratch.

There are no gold rules and no guarantee that you will be successful in your endeavors.

Based on our course and observations, the main challenges are as follows:
Ideas
Implementation
Funding
People
Delegating
The first clients
Keeping the clients
Positioning in the market
What do you really sell?

The latter is a very good one is quite compelling, as it highlights the fact that certain companies lack a clear understanding of their own products or services.
Jeep does not sell cars. They sell adventure. Amazon sells convenience and affordability…
I think there is never enough information about starting and developing a company, so I have been digging for more.

Here are some of the top blogs you can follow to get your daily dose of business development wisdom:
