How Low Should You Go? A Startup’s Guide to Confident Pricing

  The Founder’s Dilemma Every new entrepreneur faces the same gut-twisting question: “How much should I charge when I’m just starting out?” The world loves to say, “Work for less, build your portfolio, get experience.” But here’s the truth: undervaluing your time is the fastest way to stay stuck in the beginner zone. Low pricing doesn’t just shrink your margins — it silently erodes your confidence and credibility. The Psychology Behind Pricing In behavioural psychology, price is a proxy for trust. If your price feels too low, people subconsciously assume there’s a catch. It’s not vanity, it’s perception. A “cheap” price signals uncertainty, not opportunity. That’s why smart founders treat pricing not as a number but as a positioning tool. “If your service feels like a bargain, you’ve already told the market how to see you.” The Myth of “Work for Less” Yes, you need clients. Yes, you want testimonials. But the “work cheap” model backfires when it becomes your default identity. Disco...

The Cookieless Future: Building Trust, Transparency & Owned Audiences in 2025

  In the world of digital marketing, data is the new oxygen . For years, cookies have fuelled this ecosystem, helping brands track users, personalise ads, and optimise campaigns. But as we step deeper into 2025 , this cookie-driven world is crumbling fast. Google has officially started phasing out third-party cookies , and privacy laws like GDPR and India’s DPDP Act are reshaping how marketers collect and use data. The message is loud and clear: the future belongs to trust-driven marketing . Why Are Cookies Disappearing? For too long, the digital ad industry relied on tracking users across the web — often without explicit consent. Users clicked “accept all cookies,” not knowing their every scroll, click, or pause was being recorded. But with growing awareness around privacy and security, people now demand control over how their data is used. Tech giants like Apple and Google responded by tightening privacy standards, limiting cross-site tracking, and making first-...

Clients Who Say ‘We Need Leads’ But Have No Brand Identity – What to Do?

๐Ÿš€ Every digital marketer has been there: A client approaches you saying, “๐˜ž๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ๐˜ด ๐˜ˆ๐˜š๐˜ˆ๐˜—!” but they have no brand identity, no clear audience, and a website that looks like it’s from 2008.

The Ultimate Guide to ChatGPT Prompts: 7 Steps to Master Prompting

Most people blame ChatGPT when the answers sound average or generic. But the truth is, it’s not about the tool  it’s about the prompt. Think of ChatGPT like a world-class assistant. If you give it vague instructions, you’ll get vague outputs. But if you set the role, add the right context, and give clear instructions, it performs like an expert. That’s where structured prompting comes in. In this blog, I’ll share a simple 7 -step formula that I personally use as a digital marketing and AI coach. With it, you can transform ChatGPT from a casual brainstorming buddy into a professional asset that drives results. Why Prompts Matter More Than You Think Generative AI is not a mind reader. It doesn’t know your exact goals, your audience, or your desired style unless you tell it. Here’s the difference: ❌ Weak prompt : “Give me LinkedIn post ideas.” ✅ Strong prompt :“Act as a senior LinkedIn content strategist. I’m launching a mentorship for mid-career professionals. Create a 7-post conte...

Mastering Generative Engine Optimization (GEO): The Next Frontier in AI‑Driven Visibility

  Introduction: What is GEO and Why It Matters Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the emerging discipline of optimizing your content to earn visibility and citations in AI-powered responses , such as those provided by ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, and other large language models (LLMs). Unlike traditional SEO, which focuses on ranking web pages on search engine results pages (SERPs), GEO positions your content to be quoted directly in AI-generated answers. In today’s digital landscape, where users increasingly rely on AI for information instead of clicking through blue links, this shift is both significant and strategic. GEO is not a replacement for SEO or Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)—it’s the next evolution, built for the AI-first era. Why GEO Is No Longer Optional The dominance of AI in digital search and content consumption is reshaping the marketing ecosystem: A recent McKinsey report notes that 73% of marketing teams now use generative AI tools to produce or optimize c...
