Hands-On: Setting Up Google Domains

To create your own website with Google Sites, check out Hands-On: Creating a Website. After designing my website, the link was very long and cumbersome. The original link was  http://sites.google.com/view/ami-marketing-consult. By creating a Google Domain, you can select the website name of your choice (provided it is not already in use). On Google Sites, select the website that you want to change the link name. Select 'Settings' and then 'Custom Domains'.

Select 'Start Setup' and follow the prompts. Fill in keywords that you would like to use for the website name. There will be a list of website name options that are available for use and a listed price for the Google Domain.

Once a website domain is selected, there will be a review page and asks for payment information. 

Once the payment is accepted, the website will activate the domain in up to 48 hours. Now, you can use the simplified website link for your company. The website link will appear more legit as well to customers viewing the site. The set up for the Google Domains was fairly straightforward. The Google Support prompts are also fairly helpful in determining how to do this properly. 

Here is the link to my website with the Google Domain:

AMI Marketing Consult (amiconsultmarket.xyz)

https://www.amiconsultmarket.xyz/

For someone who is not tech-savvy at all, this was actually pretty cool to learn and can be beneficial in the future. The process is simple, and the results look professional. It is not too costly either - it would be worth it to streamline the website link for others.

Week 7 Surfing the Tsunami

Image
Learning from others who are experts in a field of interest is usually the best option, according to Surfing the Tsunami . Artificial intelligence (AI) is no different, with many leaders who have provided insight and opinions on what the future holds in relation to AI advancements and the impact on society. Some of these leaders are Andrew Ng, Geoffrey Hinton, Pedro Domingos, Fei Fei Li, Jim Spohrer, and Irving Wladawsky-Berger. Andrew Ng makes AI easily accessible to others by providing free online lecture videos and co-founded Coursera . Geoffrey Hinton focused more on deep learning, advancing technology to function more like the human brain instead of simply data input and output. Pedro Domingos focuses his work on machine learning classes, TEDx talks, and is the author of Master Algorithm . Fei Fei Li focused mostly on visual learning of computer advancements. This can be seen as self-driving or auto-correcting cars. Growing up, I built a robot with my dad and brother at a robotics...

Week 7 Guerrilla Marketing

 Marketing can quickly become expensive, but according to Guerrilla Marketing , it is important to save marketing money by not wasting money. Minimize changes to the marketing campaign originally designed. Changing all the time costs more money. The best way to save money is to maintain the same marketing program. In addition, bartering may be especially useful when working with radio stations, newspapers, or TV stations. Provide something that the other needs in exchange for paying full price for their ad space. More than half of media is obtained through bartering. Cooperative advertising funds may also be helpful to reduce marketing costs. Larger advertisers may pay cash to smaller advertisers who will mention their name or include their logo on their ads. For the smaller company, it also shows credibility for themselves by naming a nationally recognized company in their ad. Lastly, as a guerrilla, set up per inquiry or per order arrangements with the advertising medium – share ...

Week 8 Surfing the Tsunami

Image
Surfing the Tsunami is all about beginning the journey of learning and exploring artificial intelligence (AI). For AI learning in general, there are some classes such as Coursera, Udacity, Khan Academy, or DataCamp. To be honest, I am a bit of a laggard in this area. Like a turtle, slowly but surely, I will get to where I am going. I use the technology advancements at work for the most part, and willingly learn when it is presented to me. However, I have not necessarily gone out of my way to learn about AI in the past. The three levels of learning are presented in detail: adapt, adopt, and adept. I am trying to be more comfortable with the adopt phase. The hands-on portion of making a website, a blog, Google Ads, Canvas, and looking into other AI platforms and companies was interesting. Most of it was slightly less intimidating once I sat down to figure it out. For work purposes, AI can be helpful, but if the system goes down, it is a nightmare and can be unsafe for patients.  AI ...
