Issue #273 December 1st 2024
Aloha and welcome to the first December issue of Shark Bites!
That means it’s beginning to feel a lot like Winter—and the New Year is right around the corner.
To celebrate, you can still save big with our Black Friday deals, which you can find here:

To help you make the most of the final month of 2024, let’s dive into Shark Bites.
- Up first, $100k Club member, Sandy Alexander, writes in with a $225 website page redesign + fix.
- Next, $100k Club Member, EG Buzz, let us know about a new recurring revenue client she got doing YouTube video SEO. $500 is great work
Not a ton of wins this week, but not bad considering we just had Thanksgiving. You may notice both our wins come from $100k Club Members.
And right now during our Black Friday sale, you can join the $100k Club for just $49 for your first month.

If you’d like to write in your wins and be featured, you can do so inside of the Remote Marketing Agency Owners Private Facebook Group. Remember to use “#win” so we can feature you in next week’s “Catch of the Week”.
Welcome to “Pirate’s Booty” – a curated stash of local marketing news and content for your reading pleasure.
We’re huge fans of AI around here… that said, we understand it has some limitations. Which is why you should use AI as a tool—not rely on it as a fix all solution.
For example, a new study found recently that ChatGPT often misquotes news sources. Which may not be a huge deal for marketing purposes.
But it’s worth knowing the limitations of AI and how to be careful when using it. Read more about this here:
ChatGPT Search Fails Attribution Test, Misquotes News Sources
Next, more AI news: but happy AI news this time.
Because YouTube is currently previewing an AI tool to help content creators overcome creative blocks.
Now this is a great use of AI. Check it out here:

On this week’s Aloha Friday Local Marketing Jam Session I sat down with Jason Stewart for a Halloween-themed Live Show called:
Prepping, Procrastinating, And Prospecting During The Holidays
There's two types of people in this world:
Preppers (people who prepare and plan ahead of time).
And…
Procrastinators (people who wait til last minute to get things done).
You can definitely get away with being a procrastinator for a while. But there are times where it very much pays to be prepared ahead of time and ready to hit the ground running.
And that is especially true when it comes to prospecting during the holidays.
Because as you know, everyone gets busier during the holidays.
You do, your outsourcers do, your clients and prospects do… it's just part of the deal.
Which is why on this week's Aloha Friday Local Marketing Jam Session, Richie Cronin went live to help you end your procrastination and get ready to make some holiday sales!
(And yes, if you haven't already planned your holiday prospecting—you're procrastinating!)
