Keeping SEO Relevant in the New Era of AI with Zach Boyette

A great way to get on top of these new changes is to focus on the SEO side of things. Many of you might know how to get to the top of Google searches but may be clueless when it comes to doing the same on ChatGPT and Gemini, for example.

9 Ultimate Lead Magnets & The Secret to Attracting Ideal Clients
Lead magnets have changed a lot in the past ten years and a huge part of that is because our entire creator economy has changed the online landscape. Ten years ago, knowledge databases for tech tools did not exist. YouTube was not this robust library and Google even left us with unanswered questions.
Today, it feels like you could Google anything, and if you can’t, you can just ask AI. So, why would someone want to give you their email address to hear what you have to say? I want to talk about it because lead magnets are still an incredibly powerful, critical tool in your ability to grow and build your email list.

“Untitled” Workshop: The Single Most Important Thing You’ve Done for Your Online Business Maybe Ever
Listen in on the phenomenal live webinar we offered this week. This information will change countless lives and give more women opportunities. I'm sharing clear strategies for scaling a business that most people don’t know about. We aren't messing with trendy marketing tactics that don’t work the same way for everyone. Every business is different and one person’s success does not define your own.
That’s why I'm sharing the exact strategies and facts that will bring you success (and not just the shiny, sexy ones). You need this information. I will redefine what transparency looks like in this industry because it was not easy to get to where I am today. This is my genuine desire to see you succeed! If you'd like to see the slides that went along with this, you can watch the full video replay at bossproject.com/untitled-training.
1-Sale to 439 Leads in 48-Hours
I went from one sale to 439 leads in just 48 hours and I’m going to tell you exactly how I did it! I recently took the biggest gamble I have ever taken in my business. I refunded tickets to my upcoming Sales Flow workshop and scrapped everything my team and I had spent weeks preparing for. I did this because only one ticket was bought in 24 hours when I announced my workshop. This mission is far too important to me to let one dry season put me under. You only have one life and I want women everywhere to have choices, opportunities, and freedom! I can only make the kind of impact I want to make if more women in business know what I know.
Prioritizing Your Life When Shit Hits the Fan
I like to see this time of year as the opportunity to dive back in and come up with a fresh approach to plan for the future! This season can be about refining what you have built so that your business can continue to support you for a long time. I know that many of you use this time to make new goals and create new opportunities, but today I want to talk about what it looks like to prepare your business so that you’re ready when life comes at you again. Shit is going to hit the fan whether you want it to or not and I want you to build a business that can survive that without being so dependent on you. Personally, I never want to be financially dependent on anyone else and I know that many of you feel the same way! You want your business to work even when life gets thrown your way. You aren’t trying to fix the ‘shit,’ you’re trying to live and work while it’s happening!
Booked Out Burnout: The Truth Around Scaling Your Business
Chances are, you started your business because you want to make a real impact. Like the badass you are, you wanted to do this independently and quickly took on clients and catered to their needs, often at your own expense. This, unfortunately, can only lead to burnout. There comes a point where you need to fix the situation or you’ll seriously consider quitting. I know, because I’ve been there, and I’m here to assure you that there are some very tangible ways to get out of this dreaded cycle that keep people feeling trapped in the business they built that is supposed to be this opportunity for freedom.
How to Leverage Where You Are To Get to Where You Want to GO
Today I want to talk about where you’re going; whether you know what that looks like or not. I know that for many of you, you may not even be sure where you want to go, and that’s okay! It’s really easy to overlook the value of your past experiences but you are, in essence, a cumulation of them and they can be so valuable in shaping where you want to go. I know a lot of you may not know the answer and that is okay! It’s not about knowing the answer, it’s about using this as a jumping-off point. Even all the previous jobs you’ve ever had shape the business you have today!
