The Only Investment You Need to Make In 2024

Hello there fellow humans. Ever wondered what profession you’d have chosen if you were born 200 years ago? I bet the majority of you haven’t. That’s because we don’t need to, and it’s pointless to even think about that. We’re lucky that we opened our eyes in the age where AI and technology are running hog wild. The awesome tools and comforts we have been bestowed by scientific innovations have left us impaired to think about such nonsensical questions, let alone their answers.

The Reality of Today’s World

Sure, there are a couple of wars going on as you’re reading this, and not to mention the globe is on the brink of another economic recession. But these things have taken a backstage, as people are preoccupied with other more important (let’s say cool) stuff such as AI, Reels, Trending TikTok moves..etc. The cool stuff has unfortunately shrunk our productivity and attention span to dangerously low levels.

The Importance of Self-Investment

Cool stuff is fine if consumed optimally, but you can make the cool stuff even cooler if only you can realize the potential of self-investment. The investment in your skillset to be exact. If you’re still using ChatGPT to only generate your school essays or to make your monthly budget plan, then I hate to break it to you my friend… you’re missing out on the cooler stuff.

Leveraging Technology in Freelancing

Let’s say you’re an average cool stuff enjoyer and you work as a freelance graphic designer on the side. You have quite a lot of experience in your craft, but you’re not utilizing the cooler stuff i.e. AI tools and other technological assets at your disposal. You are doing an injustice to your skills essentially. How? You can only handle an average of 10 clients per month because you are only working with free tools, free Photoshop software, free Canva, and free whatnot.

Your friend, having less experience than you is earning your month’s earnings in a week. Just because he is leveraging paid software and automation tools to free up his time, the time he can spend on handling an extra 20 clients than you. Of course, paid subscriptions take up a little chunk of his annual income, but it’s pennies for him. Since he’s earning a lot more, these subscriptions are providing him a lot of benefits in a very affordable price bracket.

Advice from the Top

The other day, our manager told us the same thing. He advised us to invest in tools or software that can enhance our productivity and make our jobs easier. Not only this, relying on these useful AI and automation tools lets us enjoy more free time and enables us to achieve more in less time. Nowadays, entrepreneurs or freelancers who can very well afford to invest in their skills hesitate to take this significant step. Hence, they are stuck in the same old repetitive and hectic cycle with the same measly income.

Conclusion

You’re blessed to be born in this era. Artificial intelligence and technological innovations have made our work a lot more convenient. Don’t hinder your growth and adopt a smart business strategy by outsourcing your work to paid software and automation tools to streamline your income stream and ease your business operations. Ultimately closing more sales in a shorter amount of time. Therefore, Invest in your skills and enjoy its endless rewards and advantages without breaking a sweat.

Chain-of-Thought Prompting: Unlocking the Full Potential of Large Language Models

Image
Imagine you’re trying to solve a tricky puzzle. You don’t just blurt out the answer — you think it through, step by step, until you finally reach the solution. This process of breaking down a problem into smaller, manageable chunks is precisely what Chain-of-Thought Prompting does for large language models (LLMs). It’s like giving your AI a roadmap for solving complex tasks, and it’s a game-changer. What is Chain-of-Thought Prompting? Chain-of-Thought Prompting is a technique that helps LLMs, like GPT-4, think through problems in a structured way. Instead of jumping straight to an answer, the model generates a series of intermediate steps or “thoughts.” This chain of thoughts guides the model through the reasoning process, improving its ability to tackle tasks that require multi-step thinking. Think of it as the difference between guessing the answer to a math problem and showing your work. By laying out the steps, the model can better handle complex queries and provide more accurate r...

Only 2 things Keeping You from Becoming a 6-figure Copywriter

Image
Copywriting is anything you write to sell, promote, or advertise a particular service or product. But do you know it is much more than that? Over the course of my career as a copywriter. I have come across many aspiring copywriters who need help to reach their sales targets. They are constantly failing to express the true utility of the products to their target audience. All successful copywriters have one thing in common that makes them stand apart from the rest. They know how to keep a fine balance between: The utility of the product or service AND… The emotional appeal it carries The Problem It Solves By the utility of the product, I mean what kind of problem your product solves. How does your product have a net positive impact on your daily life and how much time or effort it saves you from? Basically, you need to identify the solutions your product provides to your customers. For instance, If you’re living in Delhi or Lahore (Two cities having a cutthroat competition in having the...

Learn: Zero-Shot, One-Shot, and Few-Shot Prompting

Image
Imagine asking a friend for a favor, and without giving them any details, they somehow figure out exactly what you want. Now imagine explaining the same task to another friend, but this time with a single example to make it a little clearer. For a third friend, you give a handful of examples to make sure they fully understand. These three ways of guiding someone are actually quite similar to how we guide AI in language tasks! When it comes to working with AI models, we call these approaches  zero-shot ,  one-shot , and  few-shot prompting . Let’s unpack these terms, explore how they work, and dive into some fun examples to see how they bring out the best in AI. What Is Prompting in AI? Before we jump into the three types, let’s clarify what  prompting  means in the context of AI. Prompting is simply giving an AI model a cue or instruction to generate the response we’re looking for. AI models, especially large language models like GPT-4, learn from vast amounts o...
