The AI landscape moves like high-water rapids and it’s a LOT to keep up with. But, it will directly impact the way you use it, and how I’ll be using it in courses to teach you how to make the most of it. So, I intend to keep Tips Tuesday what it has always been - a way for you to stay way ahead of the curves. And right now, that’s going to include a bunch of AI news in the mix. BlogAid Course Happenings Ultimate GA4 Course for Bloggers Tutorials are Finished!! Woot!!!! I did a super happy dance on Saturday when I uploaded the last 10 of the Ultimate GA4 Course for Bloggers tutorials!!! They were all on how to track your optin clicks, including what page those clicks were on. And, they include using Tag Manager to do it. GA4 Course Affiliate Program Opening This past week I also touched base with past affiliates of BlogAid courses to invite them to be an affiliate of the GA4 course. And we’re now lining up webinars for their peeps so they can see the power of GA4 and all you can do with it, including how easy it is to make custom reports that mimic the important data you’re used to seeing in Universal Analytics. Over the next weeks I’ll be inviting course members to join the affiliate program too. Request for GA4 Course Testimonials I’m so delighted by all of the kind words y’all have expressed to me privately about how much you are enjoying the GA4 course. Yesterday I sent out invitations to share your testimonials about the course with details on what to send in. So, look for that email if you’re already in the course. And thank you so much for taking a couple of minutes to reply. It means so much to me and to the success of the course in helping as many bloggers as we can make the switch to GA4 easily. DIY SEO Course Tutorial Updates This past week I also began the process of revamping the tutorials in the DIY SEO course before we get started with our Quick Checks and Workshops. The Google Connections section has been revamped with the removal of the Google Analytics connection tutorials, as they were for Universal Analytics, and nobody needs to connect to that anymore. All of the Yoast SEO tutorials have also been updated. And I only had one new one to make for the changes to the Integrations section so far. But, the big UI revamp is scheduled to launch today, so I’ll need to revisit those tutorials and see what changed with the look and layout and language. In a moment you’ll hear about a major change with ChatG...
