Let’s Collaborate with A.I., like ChatGPT, for More Creative Marketing
Are you ready to unleash the full potential of ChatGPT and A.I.-enabled writing tools to enhance your productivity and improve your marketing efforts?
In this webinar, I explain how ChatGPT fits within the A.I. ecosystem. I offer two examples of how ChatGPT’s API is being extended, especially for marketers who use CRM software like HubSpot, and, then use a TikTok video to explain a ChatGPT “super-hack” that takes you beyond prompt engineering. All in less than 1/2 hour.
As you may well know, ChatGPT has launched a tsunami of new ways to create content for marketing and other creative endeavors. It’s a force to be reckoned with that will have a significant impact on our future in myriad ways. There are both enormously powerful and empowering new tools to learn about and concerns about our humanity and intellectual property to be carefully considered.
This pop-up webinar will give you a leg-up in these conversations with the awareness that this gigantic wave of innovation and change is just beginning.
Don’t miss the opportunity to ride this wave of innovation and be sure not to let this wave hurt you, your humanity, or our global society.

It’s like Google and Siri had a baby, and she’s a genius!
Have you heard the massive buzz about this breakthrough AI tool?
I’ve been using the latest new AI tool, ChatGPT, for a few days now and it’s seriously impressive. People are finding it so mind-blowing that it’s taken over my TikTok feed with unsolicited endorsements. The latest rant was from @garyvee.
A key benefit is that ChatGPT’s dialog-based chatbot approach makes it super-easy to use.
It also doesn’t suck that ChatGPT is free, non-commercial, and no strings attached (at least for now). I highly recommend that you give it a try. Access & more info here: https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt/
Here’s my Top 3 Reasons that I think ChatGBT is a game changer, via TikTok:
It’s not every day that we get a new tool that we can immediately understand how it make our work more easeful and powerful. That’s why I’m excited about chatgpt, chatgptforcreators. It opens a window on the #future of how we will all someday very soon be using #AI and #AITools to be more Creative. #creativity
Pro Tip: The better you get at asking questions, the better the output you’ll get. So take some time to think about what you want to ask and ask it in a clear and concise way.

Video Mojo doesn’t happen by accident. It combines creative chutzpah, human connection, and perseverance.
That’s what gets me excited about singer-songwriter & TikTok star Jax’s latest breakout hit, “Victoria’s Secret.” The human connection component is magnificently present in the song’s powerful body positivity message, and it has clearly struck a chord with women in particular.
As a response to some real world body shaming, Jax first presented this song to her young friend Chelsea, TikTok-style, in the front seat of her car:
Beyond its “traditional” success—including the song’s massive view counts measured in the 10’s of millions and the fact that it’s climbing the Billboard charts—what makes “Victoria’s Secret” more like a movement than a song is the 21,000 individual TikTok creators who have produced their own videos with this song as the soundtrack. And, currently, this number is growing rapidly every day.
What Can We Learn From This Success Story?
Beyond celebrating the positive impact of this clever and creative song, I’m writing to emphasize the lesson illustrated by the fact Jax’s video mojo journey took a commitment that she has sustained for years. Like most “overnight” success stories, it took a long time.
The idea that a viral hit happens in a random flash, like winning the lottery, is misleading and bogus. If you’re lucky, viral hits are a fringe benefit of committing to a creative process. As I learned from her February 2021 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Jax first tried to get on that show when she was 11 years old! (She’s now 26.)
What Does It Take to Be a Success on TikTok?
There’s one section of that Ellen interview that tells us pretty much everything we need to know about TikTok and social media success. I’ve edited that excerpt for you and embedded it here:
You can watch the entire Ellen interview here. Remember this was a year and a half ago when Jax had her first viral hit on TikTok.
Here’s what I think we all can learn from what Jax told Ellen: Jax writes every day. That’s major. Jax posts often. Also important. AND, Jax went a full year with very low view counts!
That’s a kind of perseverance that’s rare. I know from personal experience. It can be daunting. But, if you’re having fun, it’s sustainable; and it’s what it takes.
Dare to Suck & Enjoy the Journey
As the Zen saying goes, “The journey is the reward.” It’s crucial to enjoy the process otherwise, seriously, don’t bother.
That’s why I call it “Video Mojo.” It takes a kind of courage. I also call that creative hutzpah (one of my favorite phrases). This also means, as I heard recently from The Brothers Koren, “dare to suck.” And that triggers another commonly heard concept (that’s easier to say than to do), “keep going.”
And There’s More!
From moving, mother-daughter co-productions like this one to Jax’s own flash mob “music video,” and many more, “Victoria’s Secret” shows why I think TikTok is unique and different. Beyond its world-class algorithm, TikTok sparks remarkable creativity AND communities of human beings who actually care about each other. More are being created every day.
Yes, in order to benefit from consuming and/or creating on TikTok, you will need to weed out some superfluous nonsense. To me, the rewards, including hope, inspiration, and new creative connections, are well worth it.

This is one of my favorite Video Mojo interviews ever. Why? Because successful TikTok video creator, Anna Pryz illuminates why TikTok is a totally NEW medium, unlike YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or any other social media network.
While there’s no doubt that on TikTok, you have the ability to grow a following faster than on any other social network, what’s even more important is the way that Anna’s extremely human brand of humor underscores the way that TikTok favors content that is fun, vulnerable, and authentic.
What Anna shares is eye-opening as she discusses in detail what it takes to succeed on TikTok. So much so that it inspired me to go all-in on my commitment to post to TikTok each and every day.
Listen and learn why posting daily is not just a “nice to have” but a requirement of the TikTok algorithm. And, scroll down in this description for the link to the online accountability community that I created to keep myself on track while supporting others to do the same. If you’re interested, you can join my FREE #TikTokDaily challenge (free for April, 2022) that was inspired by what Anna shared in the Video Mojo interview above. Info about the video creator accountability group is here: https://www.videocreator.me/
In any case, if you have even an inkling of interest in the potential of TikTok for video marketing, I implore you to experience all 38 minutes of this interview (even though, due to technical challenges, the last two-thirds is an audio-only conversation).
“Keep it up, cutie. I’m proud of you.” (an inside joke, also from the interview above)

Content marketing is a powerful tool for building business relationships. But if you’re not careful, automation apps and content-hungry social media channels can turn meaningful marketing into an impersonal, soulless “noise” that leaves no room for the delivery of real value.

As a joyful explorer of this new video frontier, this week in my Luscious Links email blast, I featured two illuminating videos:
1. One is a virtual TED talk by a young, Chinese principal at Boston Consulting Group. It’s packed with research and examples.
2. The second drills down even deeper and uses #FilmTikTok to brilliantly explain and SHOW how TikTok works, and that’s something good to know if you care about where social media is going. In fact, if you are in business, in any form, this matters! Short-Form Social Media Videos are our future!

*No BS.* There’s ONE thing that can make or break a podcast or video show, and I’m still learning after all these years! 🙂
This episode of Video Mojo (video below) is much more than just an interview. It’s practically an entire workshop. I’m “working in public” and tapping into the impressive showrunner expertise of Jay Acunzo. In this conversation, Jay not only provides immensely valuable realtime coaching regarding the essential requirement for a “pithy, powerful premise” and illuminates his “4 Challenges of the Showrunner’s Circle;” but he also explains why participation is better than promotion.
We also discuss how podcasts and shows can be leveraged into short-form video content and when that’s appropriate (or not), and much more. My journey toward making Video Mojo an authentically valuable offering for visionary organizations takes a profound pivot here, and I want you along for the learning. If you have a podcast or show, or if you are considering starting one, I recommend this video as essential viewing. Don’t miss all the actionable insights.
