📝 Patey’s Update

HNY! This year I’ll be focussing on AI agents in both marketing (within my fractional CMO service) and in crypto (which you can see in the news section).

I’m also going back into ecommerce, something I’ve not done since selling a Shopify dropship print business in 2016. I’m setting up woocommerce on my ski website to sell products that I’m sourcing from China as well as locally in the UK. And I’ll be setting up a subscription box business with my wife, something we’ve been planning to do for too many years. For these businesses I’ll be focussing on Google Ads, something I’m currently setting up to scale Letter Operators.
