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...

What's on your mind as you consider the near and long-term future of your site and how to best monetize it? I'll share what I'm doing near the end in a new section for What I'm Reading that is helping me and will help you too. BlogAid Course Happenings DIY SEO Content Revamp Series Starts This Week Most of y'all know that I was an electronics engineer for 30 years and that I did a lot of technical writing and training during that time. Well, years ago, one of my former webmasters switched careers to become an SEO copywriter who specializes in working with engineers. She said she chose that niche because of me and that all of those engineers deliver content exactly the way I do. They tell you the whole story, and then they give you the resolution as the very last sentence. And that last sentence becomes her title or hook. Then she literally writes the story in reverse, but leaves the step-by-step in order. She just puts it at the end. This year, it dawned on me that I laid out the live workshops of the DIY SEO course the way an engineer would. First we check your SEO foundation. Then we break down all of the SEO opportunities you have on your site and in your content and how to make the most of them, plus what not to do. And at the very end, I tell you how to make those changes. In my mind, I figured you would want to know how to do all the things, and then actually do them all at once. Doing it that way would keep you from updating the same stuff multiple times. But more importantly, it would help you not revise a whole bunch of stuff while making all manner of mistakes because you didn't have the whole story. But, it's clear that this year needs to be different due to Google dinging folks for updating existing content. And folks who are in at least their 2nd year with the course have already applied the big changes and now want to get busy making all the new tweaks from this year's updated info. So, I'm going to take a chance and modify the order of the course. This week, we'll be starting our Content Revamp series of workshops. I usually have that at the end. It's a 3-part series where I help you:  Identify what types of changes to makeEasily get a list of all your content and ways to prioritize it for changesActually make those changes in a way that makes Google happy instead of confused or upset with you Guteneberg Ninja Course Closing to New Purchase and Renewals This Summer Quick reminder that the Gutenberg Ninja course, as it is currently delivered, will no longer accept new purchases or renewals come late June. The subscription is for 6 months, so everyone who did purchase or renew prior to that cutoff date will retain access through the end of their term. I may bring a course back under that name later as a limited time workshop or such, and the focus will likely be on the bare bones basics, and then on how to build landing pages and/or tweak full page Block Patterns. So, if you are planning to switch to Gutenberg and you want a full course on it, now is the time to get in, as you'll also get updated info from the next 2 WordPress updates of 6.0 and 6.1,
