Loving the training

Hi all 👋👋

I joined yesterday and am 50% through the first course, and loving it. Not least, that I'm already feeling confident. Watching the videos on creating a chat bot, it seems a lot easier to do than I expected.

I've been a freelance SEO writer since 2020, but I started to work on local SEO with Google Business Profile set up, optimisation and management in July 2025 as I could see the effect AI overview was having on organic traffic.

Google decimated organic traffic with the December algorithm update, with thousands of sites losing up to 100%, wiping out revenue within days.

My affilate site is two years old and dropped from 300 clicks & 75k impressions weekly to 16 clicks and 9.5k impressions 😡

Brutal, and that income source no longer exists.

So, I'm glad my intuition kicked in, but I want a business that continues to pay me when I'm not working.

I've wanted to create AI content for a while and joined a group that teaches that. Then, this group popped up.

Perfect timing because I have one remaining client that I do a lot of work for - website management, SEO blogs, YouTube, TikTok, social media, GBP & more.

At our meeting in December, I suggested having a chat bot on the new site and he's very keen. So, once I can master it, I've got my first client, yay 😆

I live in Gloucestershire, UK, widowed in 2020. I have two dogs.

I write and publish books, launched my first digital product this week and working on developing a YouTube channel.

I'm a lifelong learner, and a bit geeky. I'm the most determined person i know, and love mastering tech and problem solving.

My primary goal is to buy a house of my own- either shared ownership or outright within the next two years.

I'm not a young woman and my friends think I'm nuts saying i WILL buy my own house 😆 but I believe anything is possible if you align your actions with your goals.

Well, you asked for an introduction 😆
