I want to use SEO to get new leads for my conscious consulting business. Instagram doesn't feel like my place. It exhaust me. I resonate with many people here who want to use search engines over social media.

If you haven't done your professional photoshoot, do it right away. You can hire a photographer in your area or you can use the method I am going to share below. Your profile picture conveys your vibe. It symbolizes the business you are in. BUT hiring professional photographers is tricky. Also, they can be expensive and often unavailable in your area if you are working remotely. This method can save you tonnes of money and hassle. I did my AI photoshoot a few weeks ago, and the results are impressive. As you can guess by now, "photoshoot" is just a fancy word to say you generated AI pictures of yourself but professionally. Here are the results (See the images below). Now, these are not perfect. However, these are good enough to be used on Instagram and other sites. You don't need to know any coding to create images with AI. Head over to photoAI.com and get monthly credits (make sure to cancel the subscription right away so it doesn't charge you the next month). Once done, upload your random 20 images and wait for one hour. Within 60 minutes, you will receive an email and be able to download your images. It fascinates me how much AI has improved in the last few months. Does it sound scary? Yes. But this is the future. You either embrace and flow with it, or you become a past. And one more thing: Make sure you don't hate technical advancements and use them to your benefit. By the way, How does my Model avatar look? 😎

The Internet can be overwhelming for a sprouting entrepreneur. When I started, I was exhausted by so-called digital marketing advice. It feels like there is so much to learn and so much to do to make anything work. But the truth is, You don't need to do 'everything'. All you need is a FULL STACK BRAIN. Full Stack Brain masters 5 critical skills. These are the 5 pillars of an online business. Invest money in learning these 5 skills. Go to conferences to learn these 5 skills. Join the communities to learn these 5 skills. Rest everything is noise. And here are these 5 skills (take notes): 🔥 Traffic Generation: Even if you have the best product in the world, or you are the most helpful coach or creator in your space... If you don't know how to attract strangers to 'have a look' at what you are doing, it won't work. This is a fundamental skill in online business. You won't be hungry if you know how to generate traffic coz people are always buying something. 🔥 Community Building: Business is a human game. Love and empathy are the core of our style of business. You must know how to spark conversations and keep people in a close-knit community. And the best time to start a community is not when you have "figured it out." You find your people when you are climbing up to the mountain, Not on the top." Share your experiments, synthesis, process, and methods, and lead people towards a big, bright future. Start where you are. 🔥 Copywriting: While community building will give you purpose and fulfill your life, your copywriting skills will ensure you are getting paid for doing what you love. Persuasive Written Communication, also known as "copywriting," is the secret sauce of every successful entrepreneur. You must sell with heart and in the interest of your customers. Remember Steve Jobs's "Thousand Songs in Your Pocket" dialogue? What a great copywriter ;) 🔥 Content creation: Content creation is not optional. While you can generate traffic by paying Zuckerberg (for Facebook ads), it won't be sustainable.

Okay, here I am on the verge of starting my new community, but I wonder ... "Are there some things I need to do first, that will help in the early days and weeks?" In other words, what do I need to do before I spring my unknown self and community on Skool? Suggestions?
