Issue #285 | February 23rd 2025
Holy moly!
February is almost over. The days just keep flying by don’t they.
Speaking of time…
I recently posted on Facebook about starting my fitness journey a year ago and the progress I’ve made since then. Of course, I still have goals I’m striving for.
But it feels good to look back and see how much consistency pays off.
To help you stay consistent this year, let’s dive into this round of Shark Bites…
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”.

WordPress is something that many agencies use. And in fact, we often get questions about registrations and hosting.
Which is why I thought this article about WordPress offering a new, 100-year domain name registration rather interesting.

As you may know, we like to cover Google Ads here since Google Ads is such a great service to offer.
And as always, there’s changes coming. In fact, Google Responsive Search Ads just got more flexible. What does this mean to you?

Why The Human-AI Hybrid Approach Works Best To Land Clients
You know we've been all about AI lately… even doubling down this year on how much we're using AI in our agency and how much we're teaching about it.
But that said…
AI doesn't work in a vaccuum.
Sure, there are things it can do all on its own.
But in reality, it needs a helpful human hand to guide it to act how you want. (At least for now.)
One example of this is personalization.
Sure you can have AI write you outreach copy (or use our proven outreach.copy)… but to get the most results, you will absolutely want to personalize it with your own human touch.
Luckily, this doesn't take too long… if you know what you're doing.
Which is why on this week’s Aloha Friday Local Marketing Jam Session, I covered how to use the hybrid approach to get the best of both worlds.
The replay is up now and can be found here:
