AI in Advertising: What Freelancers Need to Know for 2025

AI in Advertising: What Freelancers Need to Know for 2025

In the rapidly changing world of artificial intelligence (AI), freelancing and ad managers are heading in the direction of change. This week, we are discussing the many elements of AI, and how to understand the balance between embracing technological advancements and preserving the human elements in creative work. Let’s dive into how freelancers can effectively incorporate AI into their workflows to better their business.

Topics Covered In This Episode:

  1. AI should be used to enhance, not replace, human work, particularly in creative and strategic roles where human intuition and expertise are invaluable.
  2. Verification and cross-checking of AI-generated information are crucial to maintaining accuracy and reliability, just as one would do with news or social media content.
  3. Freelancers and ad managers should embrace AI for productivity and growth, enhancing their skills and adopting roles such as strategists to remain competitive.
  4. The ethical use of AI in content creation and ownership is essential, with an emphasis on maintaining transparency and avoiding overreliance on AI for generating original content.
  5. While automation may replace certain jobs, upskilling and mastering communication can secure roles requiring human input and creativity.
  6. AI is useful in audience mining and identifying sales patterns, assisting marketers in refining target audiences and adapting strategies effectively.
  7. Despite AI's potential to enhance workflows, maintaining a human touch and ensuring originality remain fundamental to attracting and retaining audiences and clients.

3 Services That Will Pay Big in 2025

3 Services That Will Pay Big in 2025

This year freelancers and service providers will see changes in their businesses. Some services will see huge growth and become great ways to earn more money, while others may slow down because of new technology and changing market needs. Today, we’ll look at which services are expected to be the most profitable and which might see a drop, so you can plan and prepare for what’s ahead. 

Topics Covered In This Episode:

  1. Video content creation and strategy is most likely going to be in high demand due to the popularity of short-form video across platforms like Reels and YouTube Shorts.
  2. Funnel strategy and optimization is very important because it's an area where AI cannot fully replace human insight and creativity.
  3. Social media advertising, particularly on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, is expected to be one of the highest-paying services as organic growth becomes more challenging.
  4. General virtual assistant (VA) services are projected to decline, as AI tools and global hiring for lower rates replace repetitive tasks VAs typically perform.
  5. Podcast production services are expected to see a decline due to advancements in AI and simplified processes with tools like Descript.
  6. Copywriting services may face challenges as clients increasingly use AI for basic copy needs and shift focus to optimization and strategy.
  7. The importance of including strategy and optimization within your services to maintain value and demand in the future market.
  8. Adding services like video content creation and strategy, funnel strategy and optimization, or social media advertising as add-ons can enhance a freelancer's or service provider's offerings.

Hot Take: Your New Year Goal Is Holding You Back

Hot Take: Your New Year Goal Is Holding You Back

In the whirlwind excitement of New Year's Eve, it's common to jot down ambitious goals, fueled by the promise of a fresh start. Yet, by February, many find themselves discouraged, feeling like the clock is already ticking against them. This week, we dive into this all-too-familiar pattern and discuss the importance of focusing on realistic goal-setting that keeps you motivated throughout the year. Here's how you can make 2025 your most fulfilling year yet by tweaking the way you think about goals.

Topics Covered In This Episode:

  1. Maintaining excitement about goals throughout the year is crucial to keep making progress and not get disheartened when off-target.
  2. Treating your goals with the same commitment you would have for helping a child succeed in school can prevent early abandonment.
  3. Big yearly goals should act as a "north star" for decision-making, but the primary focus should be on smaller, actionable 90-day goals.
  4. Business growth is not linear; it often involves peaks and troughs, just like academic progress isn't always consistent.
  5. Rather than focusing on monthly revenue targets, focus on actionable tasks like discovery calls or outreach activities.
  6. Understanding your key metrics and conversion rates will help set realistic monthly targets and increase the predictability of income.
  7. Monitoring progress with quarterly reviews can help identify gaps and prompt creative problem-solving.
  8. Enlisting help from coaches or utilizing different strategies can help achieve educational and professional goals more effectively, like the Strategist Society.
