From Marisa's ezine & blog. "Is the online course market dead?" I've been hearing this question a lot lately. And honestly? I get it. AI can generate course content in minutes. Free information is everywhere. Buyers are more skeptical than ever. So here's my honest answer: No, courses aren't dead. And a certain type of course is absolutely dying. I call it the "Info Dump" -- courses designed purely around learning with no focus on doing. The creator packed in as much information as possible, but never thought about how to actually get students into action. That worked 10 years ago. In 2026? It's a recipe for high refunds and single-digit completion rates. The good news: three types of courses aren't just surviving right now -- they're thriving: https://liveyourmessage.com/courses-thriving-in-2026

From the Tipseason ezine: You ask AI a question. It gives you an answer. You use that answer. Sometimes it's great. Sometimes it's mediocre. You never know which one you'll get. Here's the problem. AI defaults to the first reasonable answer it finds. Not the best answer. Just the first one that works. There's a technique that fixes this. It's called Tree of Thought prompting. You force AI to think through multiple approaches before picking the best one. Like having three experts debate instead of one person giving you their first thought. The quality difference is massive. How Tree of Thought Actually Works Instead of asking AI for one answer, you ask it to: 1. Generate 3 different approaches to solve your problem 2. Evaluate each approach (pros and cons) 3. Pick the best one and explain why 4. Give you the final solution based on that approach AI explores multiple paths. Considers tradeoffs. Then commits to the strongest option. You get better results because AI did the thinking you would normally do manually. There's a bit more to it than that, but I didn't want to copy the whole email

From Hasan. Great info as usual. You probably know Claude AI can write code, but did you know it can generate 3D videos, VR experiences, and full video ads? Yeah, it's kind of crazy. In this video, I walk you through 7 use cases: - 3D Videos - VR Experiences - Video Ads from Any URL - Video Ads from Code Projects - Educational Simulations - Editable Templates - Custom Assets The best part? Everything is free and I included all the prompts and resources. Claude + VidTSX = Unlimited Free Video Creation!
