The Future of AI

 

If it feels like the future of AI is a rapidly changing landscape, that’s because the present innovations in the field of artificial intelligence are accelerating at such a blazing-fast pace that it’s tough to keep up.

Indeed, artificial intelligence is shaping the future of humanity across nearly every industry. It is already the main driver of emerging technologies like big data, robotics and IoT — not to mention generative AI, with tools like ChatGPT and AI art generators garnering mainstream attention — and it will continue to act as a technological innovator for the foreseeable future. 

Roughly 44 percent of companies are looking to make serious investments in AI and integrate it into their businesses. And of the 9,130 patents received by IBM inventors in 2021, 2,300 were AI-related.

It seems likely that AI is going to (continue to) change the world. But how, exactly?

More on the Future of AI Can AI Make Art More Human?

 

The Evolution of AI

AI’s influence on technology is due in part because of how it impacts computing. Through AI, computers have the ability to harness massive amounts of data and use their learned intelligence to make optimal decisions and discoveries in fractions of the time that it would take humans.

AI has come a long way since 1951, when the first documented success of an AI computer program was written by Christopher Strachey, whose checkers program completed a whole game on the Ferranti Mark I computer at the University of Manchester.

Since then, AI has been used to help sequence RNA for vaccines and model human speech, technologies that rely on model- and algorithm-based machine learning and increasingly focus on perception, reasoning and generalization. With innovations like these, AI has re-taken center stage like never before — and it won’t cede the spotlight anytime soon. 

 

What Industries Will AI Change? 

There’s virtually no major industry that modern AI — more specifically, “narrow AI,” which performs objective functions using data-trained models and often falls into the categories of deep learning or machine learning — hasn’t already affected. That’s especially true in the past few years, as data collection and analysis has ramped up considerably thanks to robust IoT connectivity, the proliferation of connected devices and ever-speedier computer processing.

“I think anybody making assumptions about the capabilities of intelligent software capping out at some point are mistaken,” David Vandegrift, CTO and co-founder of the customer relationship management firm 4Degrees, said.

With companies spending billions of dollars on AI products and services annually, tech giants like Google, Apple, Microsoft and Amazon spending billions to create those products and services, universities making AI a more prominent part of their curricula and the U.S. Department of Defense upping its AI game, big things are bound to happen. 

“Lots of industries go through this pattern of winter, winter, and then an eternal spring,” former Google Brain leader and Baidu chief scientist Andrew Ng told ZDNet. “We may be in the eternal spring of AI.”

Some sectors are at the start of their AI journey, others are veteran travelers. Both have a long way to go. Regardless, the impact AI is having on our present day lives is hard to ignore.

 

AI in Transportation

Transportation is one industry that is certainly teed up to be drastically changed by AI. Self-driving cars and AI travel planners are just a couple of facets of how we get from point A to point B that will be influenced by AI. Even though autonomous vehicles are far from perfect, they will one day ferry us from place to place.

 

AI in Manufacturing

Manufacturing has been benefiting from AI for years. With AI-enabled robotic arms and other manufacturing bots dating back to the 1960s and 1970s, the industry has adapted well to the powers of AI. These industrial robots typically work alongside humans to perform a limited range of tasks like assembly and stacking, and predictive analysis sensors keep equipment running smoothly. 

 

AI in Healthcare

It may seem unlikely, but AI healthcare is already changing the way humans interact with medical providers. Thanks to its big data analysis capabilities, AI helps identify diseases more quickly and accurately, speed up and streamline drug discovery and even monitor patients through virtual nursing assistants. 

 

AI in Education

AI in education will change the way humans of all ages learn. AI’s use of machine learning, natural language processing and facial recognition help digitize textbooks, detect plagiarism and gauge the emotions of students to help determine who’s struggling or bored. Both presently and in the future, AI tailors the experience of learning to student’s individual needs.

 

AI in Media

Journalism is harnessing AI too, and will continue to benefit from it. One example can be seen in The Associated Press’ use of Automated Insights, which produces thousands of earning reports stories per year. But as generative AI writing tools, such as ChatGPT, enter the market, questions about their use in journalism abound.

 

AI in Customer Service

Most people dread getting a robo-call, but AI in customer service can provide the industry with data-driven tools that bring meaningful insights to both the customer and the provider. AI tools powering the customer service industry come in the form of chatbots and  virtual assistants.

The Impact of AI on Society

HOW AI WILL CHANGE WORK

During a lecture at Northwestern University, AI expert Kai-Fu Lee championed AI technology and its forthcoming impact while also noting its side effects and limitations. Of the former, he warned:

“The bottom 90 percent, especially the bottom 50 percent of the world in terms of income or education, will be badly hurt with job displacement … The simple question to ask is, ‘How routine is a job?’ And that is how likely [it is] a job will be replaced by AI, because AI can, within the routine task, learn to optimize itself. And the more quantitative, the more objective the job is—separating things into bins, washing dishes, picking fruits and answering customer service calls—those are very much scripted tasks that are repetitive and routine in nature. In the matter of five, 10 or 15 years, they will be displaced by AI.”

In the warehouses of online giant and AI powerhouse Amazon, which buzz with more than 100,000 robots, picking and packing functions are still performed by humans — but that will change.

Lee’s opinion was echoed by Infosys president Mohit Joshi, who told the New York Times, “People are looking to achieve very big numbers. Earlier they had incremental, five to 10 percent goals in reducing their workforce. Now they’re saying, ‘Why can’t we do it with one percent of the people we have?’”

On a more upbeat note, Lee stressed that today’s AI is useless in two significant ways: it has no creativity and no capacity for compassion or love. Rather, it’s “a tool to amplify human creativity.” His solution? Those with jobs that involve repetitive or routine tasks must learn new skills so as not to be left by the wayside. Amazon even offers its employees money to train for jobs at other companies.

“One of the absolute prerequisites for AI to be successful in many [areas] is that we invest tremendously in education to retrain people for new jobs,” said Klara Nahrstedt, a computer science professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign and director of the school’s Coordinated Science Laboratory.

She’s concerned that’s not happening widely or often enough. Marc Gyongyosi, founder of Onetrack.AI, is even more specific.

“People need to learn about programming like they learn a new language,” he said. “And they need to do that as early as possible because it really is the future. In the future, if you don’t know coding, you don’t know programming, it’s only going to get more difficult.”

While many of those who are forced out of jobs by technology will find new ones, Vandegrift said, that won’t happen overnight. As with America’s transition from an agricultural to an industrial economy during the Industrial Revolution, which played a big role in causing the Great Depression, people eventually got back on their feet. The short-term impact, however, was massive.

“The transition between jobs going away and new ones [emerging],” Vandegrift said, “is not necessarily as painless as people like to think.”  

Mike Mendelson, a learner experience designer for NVIDIA, is a different kind of educator than Nahrstedt. He works with developers who want to learn more about AI and apply that knowledge to their businesses.

“If they understand what the technology is capable of and they understand the domain very well, they start to make connections and say, ‘Maybe this is an AI problem, maybe that’s an AI problem,’” he said. “That’s more often the case than ‘I have a specific problem I want to solve.’”

 

The Near Future of AI

In Mendelson’s view, some of the most intriguing AI research and experimentation that will have near-future ramifications is happening in two areas: “reinforcement” learning, which deals in rewards and punishment rather than labeled data; and generative adversarial networks (GAN for short) that allow computer algorithms to create rather than merely assess by pitting two nets against each other. The former is exemplified by the prowess of Google DeepMind’s AlphaGo Zero, the latter by original image or audio generation that’s based on learning about a certain subject like celebrities or a particular type of music.

On a far grander scale, AI is poised to have a major effect on sustainability, climate change and environmental issues. Ideally and partly through the use of sophisticated sensors, cities will become less congested, less polluted and generally more livable. 

“Once you predict something, you can prescribe certain policies and rules,” Nahrstedt said. Such as sensors on cars that send data about traffic conditions could predict potential problems and optimize the flow of cars. “This is not yet perfected by any means,” she said. “It’s just in its infancy. But years down the road, it will play a really big role.”

 

AI AND PRIVACY RISKS

Of course, much has been made of the fact that AI’s reliance on big data is already impacting privacy in a major way. Look no further than Cambridge Analytica’s Facebook shenanigans or Amazon’s Alexa eavesdropping, two among many examples of tech gone wild. Without proper regulations and self-imposed limitations, critics argue, the situation will get even worse. In 2015, Apple CEO Tim Cook derided competitors Google and Meta for greed-driven data mining.

“They’re gobbling up everything they can learn about you and trying to monetize it,” he said in a 2015 speech. “We think that’s wrong.”

Later, during a talk in Brussels, Belgium, Cook expounded on his concern.

“Advancing AI by collecting huge personal profiles is laziness, not efficiency,” he said. “For artificial intelligence to be truly smart, it must respect human values, including privacy. If we get this wrong, the dangers are profound.”

Plenty of others agree. In a 2018 paper published by UK-based human rights and privacy groups Article 19 and Privacy International, anxiety about AI is reserved for its everyday functions rather than a cataclysmic shift like the advent of robot overlords.

“If implemented responsibly, AI can benefit society,” the authors wrote. “However, as is the case with most emerging technology, there is a real risk that commercial and state use has a detrimental impact on human rights.”

The authors concede that the collection of large amounts of data can be used for trying to predict future behavior in benign ways, like spam filters and recommendation engines. But there’s also a real threat that it will negatively impact personal privacy and the right to freedom from discrimination.

 

Preparing for the Future of AI

THE POSSIBILITIES OF ARTIFICIAL GENERAL INTELLIGENCE

Speaking at London’s Westminster Abbey in late 2018, internationally renowned AI expert Stuart Russell joked (or not) about his “formal agreement with journalists that I won’t talk to them unless they agree not to put a Terminator robot in the article.” 

His quip revealed an obvious contempt for Hollywood representations of far-future AI, which tend toward the overwrought and apocalyptic. What Russell referred to as “human-level AI,” also known as artificial general intelligence (AGI), has long been fodder for fantasy. But the chances of its being realized anytime soon, or at all, are pretty slim.

“There are still major breakthroughs that have to happen before we reach anything that resembles human-level AI,” Russell explained. 

Russel also pointed out that AI is not currently equipped to fully understand language. This shows a distinct difference between humans and AI at the present moment: Humans can translate machine language and understand it, but AI can’t do the same for human language. However, if we reach a point where AI is able to understand our languages, AI systems would be able to read and understand everything ever written. 

“Once we have that capability, you could then query all of human knowledge and it would be able to synthesize and integrate and answer questions that no human being has ever been able to answer,” Russell added, “because they haven’t read and been able to put together and join the dots between things that have remained separate throughout history.”

This offers us a lot to think about. On the subject of which, emulating the human brain is exceedingly difficult and yet another reason for AGI’s still-hypothetical future. Longtime University of Michigan engineering and computer science professor John Laird has conducted research in the field for several decades.

“The goal has always been to try to build what we call the cognitive architecture, what we think is innate to an intelligence system,” he says of work that’s largely inspired by human psychology. “One of the things we know, for example, is the human brain is not really just a homogenous set of neurons. There’s a real structure in terms of different components, some of which are associated with knowledge about how to do things in the world.”

That’s called procedural memory. Then there’s knowledge based on general facts, a.k.a. semantic memory, as well as knowledge about previous experiences (or personal facts) which is called episodic memory. One of the projects at Laird’s lab involves using natural language instructions to teach a robot simple games like Tic-Tac-Toe and puzzles. Those instructions typically involve a description of the goal, a rundown of legal moves and failure situations. The robot internalizes those directives and uses them to plan its actions. As ever, though, breakthroughs are slow to come — slower, anyway, than Laird and his fellow researchers would like.

“Every time we make progress,” he says, “we also get a new appreciation for how hard it is.”

Is AGI a Threat to Humanity? 

More than a few leading AI figures subscribe (some more hyperbolically than others) to a nightmare scenario that involves what’s known as “singularity,” whereby superintelligent machines take over and permanently alter human existence through enslavement or eradication.

The late theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking famously postulated that if AI itself begins designing better AI than human programmers, the result could be “machines whose intelligence exceeds ours by more than ours exceeds that of snails.” Elon Musk believes and has warned that AGI is humanity’s biggest existential threat. Efforts to bring it about, he has said, are like “summoning the demon.” He has even expressed concern that his pal, Google co-founder Larry Page could accidentally shepherd something “evil” into existence despite his best intentions.

Even Gyongyosi rules nothing out. He’s no alarmist when it comes to AI predictions, but at some point, he says, humans will no longer need to train systems; they’ll learn and evolve on their own.

“I don’t think the methods we use currently in these areas will lead to machines that decide to kill us,” Gyongyosi said. “I think that maybe five or 10 years from now, I’ll have to reevaluate that statement because we’ll have different methods available and different ways to go about these things.

While murderous machines may well remain fodder for fiction, many believe they’ll supplant humans in various ways.

Oxford University’s Future of Humanity Institute published the results of an AI survey. Titled “When Will AI Exceed Human Performance? Evidence from AI Experts,” it contains estimates from 352 machine learning researchers about AI’s evolution in years to come.

There were lots of optimists in this group. By 2026, a median number of respondents said, machines will be capable of writing school essays; by 2027 self-driving trucks will render drivers unnecessary; by 2031 AI will outperform humans in the retail sector; by 2049 AI could be the next Stephen King and by 2053 the next Charlie Teo. The slightly jarring capper: By 2137, all human jobs will be automated. But what of humans themselves? Sipping umbrella drinks served by droids, no doubt.

Diego Klabjan, a professor at Northwestern University and founding director of the school’s Master of Science in Analytics program, counts himself an AGI skeptic.

“Currently, computers can handle a little more than 10,000 words,” he said. “So, a few million neurons. But human brains have billions of neurons that are connected in a very intriguing and complex way, and the current state-of-the-art [technology] is just straightforward connections following very easy patterns. So going from a few million neurons to billions of neurons with current hardware and software technologies — I don’t see that happening.”

 

How Will We Use AGI?

Klabjan also puts little stock in extreme scenarios — the type involving, say, murderous cyborgs that turn the earth into a smoldering hellscape. He’s much more concerned with machines — war robots, for instance — being fed faulty “incentives” by nefarious humans. As MIT physics professors and leading AI researcher Max Tegmark put it in a 2018 TED Talk, “The real threat from AI isn’t malice, like in silly Hollywood movies, but competence — AI accomplishing goals that just aren’t aligned with ours.” 

That’s Laird’s take, too: “I definitely don’t see the scenario where something wakes up and decides it wants to take over the world,” he said. “I think that’s science fiction and not the way it’s going to play out.”

What Laird worries most about isn’t evil AI, per se, but “evil humans using AI as a sort of false force multiplier” for things like bank robbery and credit card fraud, among many other crimes. And so, while he’s often frustrated with the pace of progress, AI’s slow burn may actually be a blessing.

“Time to understand what we’re creating and how we’re going to incorporate it into society,” Laird said, “might be exactly what we need.”

But no one knows for sure.

“There are several major breakthroughs that have to occur, and those could come very quickly,” Russell said during his Westminster talk. Referencing the rapid transformational effect of nuclear fission (atom splitting) by British physicist Ernest Rutherford in 1917, he added, “It’s very, very hard to predict when these conceptual breakthroughs are going to happen.”

But whenever they do, if they do, he emphasized the importance of preparation. That means starting or continuing discussions about the ethical use of AGI and whether it should be regulated. That means working to eliminate data bias, which has a corrupting effect on algorithms and is currently a fat fly in the AI ointment. That means working to invent and augment security measures capable of keeping the technology in check. And it means having the humility to realize that just because we can doesn’t mean we should.

“Most AGI researchers expect AGI within decades, and if we just bumble into this unprepared, it will probably be the biggest mistake in human history. It could enable brutal global dictatorship with unprecedented inequality, surveillance, suffering and maybe even human extinction,” Tegmark said in his TED Talk. “But if we steer carefully, we could end up in a fantastic future where everybody’s better off — the poor are richer, the rich are richer, everybody’s healthy and free to live out their dreams.”

It is therefore, lots of PUBG cheat codes in mobile were introduced. As a result of it, PUBG also banned number of players in June 2018 using PUBG cheat codes in Mobile.

Alert: PUBG is well secured online game and anybody that tried to make an attempt to hack it will get banned from playing the PUBG game.

 

Is it Possible PUBG Mobile Hack and to Cheat PUBG Mobile Game?

The answer is Yes. Hackers are using mods like pubg mobile hack aimbot, improved aim assists, wallhacks to see other players behind the wall, macros and other such cheating apps in both Andriod and IOS as well. However, it is not possible to generate unlimited Battle Points, UC, items, Crates etc.

#2. How to do PUBG Wallhack Mods?

In PUBG Wallhack, users can see enemies, vehicles, arms and ammunition, supply drops, and other vital game items through the walls. It will allow the user to loot the items easily and also allows the user to kill the enemy more easily. In this manner, the user can survive longer and can also avoid other players allowing the user to earn more points, rewards, Battle points and loot crates.  PUBG wallhack is available in modded APK or IOS mod that simply means that code of the game client can be modify to allow you to show enemies and other items.  However in June 2018, several attempts were made by PUBG to make it more secure and reliable but one can still download a PUBG Mobile Wallhack from here for free. This will allow you to remain in the game for long and you can survive in the game for a longer period of time and can also win the game easily.  One should also be cautious that using such PUBG Mobile wallhacks, you can be banned by PUBG.

#3. How to Use PUBG mobile hack Aimbot

Automatic aiming bots and apps are used to target the aim automatically and shoot for if you press down the button. It is one of the best hacks available for PUBG mobile and very rare to see as it is quite complicated to implement. Many of the automatic aimbots for both android and IOS games are available in the form of increased aim assist.  In this method, the code for aim & shoot is injected into PUBG game at client side or user side.  The “code” is accessible in the form of increased aim assist for most Android & iOS games. Aimbots are only detectable by the anti-cheat programs launched by PUBG creators where the game is hosted. If any other player report about it, you will instantly get banned.

Using Aimbot PUBG Mobile hacks has a higher risk of getting you banned as compared to other hacks or mods. If you have planned to use aimbot pubg hacks then do respect your fellow players and don’t abuse them as it will get you banned and identify you as a cheater. Other tips and tricks that you can keep in mind while using PUBG mobile hack aimbot are as follows:

Don’t shoot through the walls.

Don’t shoot the players in every go, keep it natural as if you are so accurate in shooting the enemies than you may easily be identifiable as cheater.

Set a limit between your aiming speed and shooting speed.

 

Don’t always shot on head. Aimbot detects graphics objects such as head, torso etc.  Set your profile with few numbers of headshots only.

Get aware of Kill cams and don’t let others know that you are using aimbots.

#4. Hack PUBG Battle Points

Battle Points are the points that count as virtual currency in PUBG Mobile game which players can earn after winning different battles.  Further, these battle points can be exchanged for crates that constitutes of different costumes. These costumes don’t provide any direct help for the players but can be helpful to hide themselves in costumes if there is similar textured environment as of costumes.

20 Battle points can be earned by killing each enemy and one can also earn more on his/her performances, ratings, rankings and shots.

One can find different websites over internet that deals in selling battle points or you can earn those battle points just by surfing few ads over internet for free.

One can earn lots of battle points in PUBG using AFK Mode i.e (Away From Keyboard).  AFK can be achieved if a player chooses a safe spot in the battleground where not many of the other players come. By being idle and hiding yourself from other players, you can achieved battle points on the basis of your long survival rankings.

It’s not a hack but a trick to earn more battle points in PUBG in which there is no danger of getting banned from the game. It’s completely safe and one can use it to in get battle points PUBG.

#5. PUBG MOBILE SPEED HACK

All the players also know that if one can increase bit of speed than other players than there is always a chance of longer survival in the game. In fact, in PUBG community forum there are lots of players complaining that other player’s speed is more than the usual one.

PUBG Mobile game speed hack can be achieved by making slight modification in the code but increase the speed only a bit otherwise anti-cheats in PUBG will identify you and will get you banned from playing the game.

 

The method of increasing PUBG speed is simple. All you need to do is to access the code of PUBG and make changes in the values of presets to outbound packets and send packets faster than normal.

These are the few of the methods related to PUBG Mobile hacks. Share it with your friends if you found them interesting.

How to Use Mobile Mods Hacks PUBG?

Mobile Mods are available in downloadable APK format in mobile devices and in IPA for IOS or IPhone users. Mobile mods can be stored in file manager and from there they can be installed on mobile devices. The code configuration might required you to root android device or Jailbreak iPhone.

Everyone loves gifs. Put together a post and use gifs for the images. Gifs have a way of adding humor and energy to posts in a way that images and graphics can’t. Or make your own with Boomerang.

Share pictures and what you’d like to learn, then go out and try that thing. Share an update of your experience with your followers.

Bringing humor into a post can be good. It’s always fun to make people laugh. I once did a parody post with Taylor Swift’s song, “Shake It!” and I tied writing into it. It was a lot of fun!

After doing the giveaway or competition on your blog, share the results. Did it turn out or was it a dud?

Have you ever spent time on websites like Quora? There are so many people asking questions that you can use for new blog ideas.

Write up a few rules and a schedule of events. Set up a blog hop for a certain amount of time. For each of the days, provide a daily prompt. It will pull other bloggers into the fun of writing posts on that topic. Encourage bloggers to visit other bloggers’ posts who are also a part of the blog hop.

What do you want to learn about?

What are your goals this year?

Which topics interest you more ______ or ______?

99. What Keeps You Creative?

When working in a creative niche, there are times where the words flow or the ideas bubble up out of you like a fountain. But there are also those days where you lack creativity and really don’t know what direction you want to go with certain projects. This can be hard. Many people give up on their creative endeavors when this happens.

Don’t let that happen to you and your art.

Maya Angelou once wrote, “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” I’ve been told by countless creatives that creativity is a lot like having a child. If major complications happen during child birth, there is a chance that the mother and the baby could both die. The same story could be said for the artist bearing an untold story. If you have a story to tell but don’t tell it, you’re hurting yourself and harming the story. You don’t want the story to die, right?

Stay creative and finish your work. Ship.

Real artists ship. —Steve JobsClick To Tweet

Share all the things that keep you creative as a writer, blogger, content marketer, artist, or graphic designer.

100. Take A Word And Write A Post Inspired By It.

Think creatively. You could even choose a couple words to use. Check out the Sunday Scribblings blog that set up a new word prompt every Sunday for some inspiration.

101. How Do You Stay Productive?

Productivity is another area in our lives that we are always trying to improve.

Something To Think About:

What things have been stopping me from being productive? (Show how to avoid experiencing those unproductive habits.)

102. If You Could Change One Thing About Your Life, What Would It Be?

It’s good to think about the things that you want to change about your life. It helps you see what you can do to become better at what you do while it will also help your audience see that you still want to improve upon things in your life.

103. What Do You Enjoy Doing Outside Of Work?

Sharing some of your life outside of work, business, and/or your blog will help people get to know you better. Sometimes it helps people to see that you are just a normal person.

104. Creative And Inspiring Quotes Related To Your Industry.

I love inspiring quotes and especially if they are related to the niche that I’m in. Other people love them for the same reason.

Basically, quotes are morsels of knowledge from another person that help with inspiration and encouragement. Encourage your audience with niche-related quotes. It also helps just knowing that others have felt the same way.

A few years ago, there was an open letter that many bloggers partook in. You’ve probably heard of it.

Here’s an example you can check out from Huffington Post.

Have you read any great books in your niche? If so, why don’t you write a book review of sorts on the book?

Grab some of the biggest lessons from the book that stuck out to you that you think would help your audience. Also, think about reaching out to the author of the book to share your review with them. Authors love it when people contact them to talk about their books. Who wouldn’t want to know that their writing impacted your life?

127. Participate In A Blog Hop, Blog Roundup, Or Carnival Online.

When you participate in a blog hop, blog roundup, or a carnival you’ll have to write a blog post that has to do with a topic. Usually the blogger who is hosting the blog hop or setting up the carnival will have an overarching theme. And then you’ll have to write something about that with a topic that relates.

128. Write Your Writer’s Guidelines.

Having guest writers is an awesome way to fill up your blog with content. You just want to make sure you go about it the right way. Treat your blog like a magazine, and ask for pitches.

How To Craft Your Writer’s Guidelines:

Pitch guidelines: What do you want writers to put into their pitches? What things do you need to see from them in order to say yes to their pitch?) I would usually recommend also asking for 250-500 words of the article that they’re pitching to you. This will help you see if their writing is any good before you accept a pitch.

Other things they should send with the pitch: Their blog URL, social links, and a few writing samples.

Lay out how the guest writing process goes so the writer will know how to approach you and what to expect about the whole process.

Keep in mind what minimum-maximum length you want for your posts.

129. Create A Master List Of Helpful Amazon Kindle Books That Are In Your Niche.

When it comes to free e-books out there, there are a ton of them.

Self-publishing has opened many doors for writers, but it’s also opened the publishing doors wide open for a whole lot of not-so-good stuff as well. That makes it difficult for a person to find “good” actionable e-books that are actually free.

Put together a list post of good free e-books that you’ve found.

130. Write Something That You’ve Never Written Before.

Do you only write blog posts?

Ever thought of writing something different? Think about writing lyrics, a short story, poetry, or even a short script and then share it on your blog.

Playing around in different formats of writing will make you a stronger writer.

Ideas for Repurposing Blog Content For Your Brand Blog

Thank your readers. They’re reading your blog posts, so thank them. Give away something special to them for being awesome. They will definitely be thinking, “What’s in it for me?” every time they read a post on your blog. That’s just something to keep on your mind whenever you come up with new blog ideas.

139. Put Your Best Blog Posts Into A Free Ebook.

Do you have a lot of blog posts covering a certain topic? If so, compile them into one document. Ask a designer to make a cool cover through Behance or Dribbble, or just make your own with Canva.

When you’re done with the book, write up another post covering some awesome tips from all the posts that you compiled into the ebook. Put a call to action in there where people can sign up for the book, and grow that email list.

Write a blog post and then write a few quotes from your blog post by hand. Scan it and then upload those into your posts. This will add a new creative twist to your blog post.

141. Let People Hear Your Voice.

Turn your posts into downloadable audio mp3 files. This is a fun way to be unique since people sometimes get sick of reading a ton of information. Think about having an audio area where they can listen to your post instead.

Big blogs like Social Media Examiner do this for their most successful posts using a tool called Blubrry Powerpress.

142. Live Blog A Conference.

Attend a session and write down everything the speaker says. Post it on your blog.

Share your post on social media using the event hashtag so attendees will find it.

143. Host Your Own Webinar.

Take an old blog post and make a webinar out of it. Then write a new post and then market your webinar in it.

Create And Host Your Own Webinar

Create a landing page with something like Leadpages or Instapages.

What is the benefit for people to sign up?

Give something away for free to people who sign up. Of course, in exchange for an email. Then you can send them the recording and also their free gift.

Use a program like Zoom or Google Hangouts to host and record your webinar.

Share your landing page on social media, with your friends, and email newsletter subscribers. (Be sure to use a great call to action.)

144. Are There Templates Or Downloads That Your Readers Would Enjoy Having?

Now write those up and share them freely, or use them to collect email subscribers.

Think about turning the content you already have on your blog posts into a download of some sort. Could that be a guide, or a worksheet, or even a video course?

Take a look at our Resource Library for some great ideas on things you can create.

145. Try Vlogging For A Month.

Vlogging is a great way to play around with creating new content or reshaping old content into something new. If you want to turn an old post into a vlog, go through your post and pick out the main topics that will help your audience solve whatever problem they want to solve.

Then write it out as a script. Practice a ton. Record yourself and then edit it. Once you are done with that, share it with your audience.

Tips For Vlogging:

Write your script more like an outline than an actual post. Keep sentences shorter rather than longer so it’s easier to read.

Put googly craft eyes on either side of your computer video recorder (if you are using your computer) so you keep eye contact with your audience. As a viewer, it can be distracting to watch a speaker who is always looking away or looking in the wrong direction.

146. Host A Live Workshop.

Write an actionable post about the topic that you are going to cover. Don’t cover everything you want to cover in the workshop, but share something awesome that will make them want to sign up for that course. Having a downloadable piece of content also really helps them sign up. We all really love free stuff!

What To Keep In Mind:

What kind of a workshop do you want to host? (In person? Online? A Meetup?)

Brainstorm the different topics that you’d like to cover. You can even take a post that you’ve already written. Take the key points and cover actionable tips about them.

Write your notes like an outline. Keep your sentences short so it’s easier to focus when you look down at your notes.

Talk slowly enough for people to understand you.

147. Create Infographics For Some Of Your Top-Performing Posts and Share Them

Infographics are a lot of fun for making your blog posts a little more colorful and scannable. You can learn more about making them here. Share them on social media. Pinterest loves infographics.
