My work focuses on making pregnancy, birth and early postpartum more respectful and empowering for pregnant people and their partners. I teach prenatal classes, attend births as a doula, and train other birth professionals - mostly birth & postpartum doulas. I do a lot of geeky research and turn it into easily understood information as I'm bilingual: speaking medical science and everyday language.
Consider getting ChatGPT Plus
In this course, we’ll be using ChatGPT a lot. Try logging in there and see if it’s overloaded – the free version often is, due to how popular it is. If you want more reliable access, sign up for ChatGPT Plus ($20/month). How? Once you log into ChatGPT you’ll see a place to upgrade if you wish. Also, it gives you advanced features such as GPT-4 (just released on March 14) which is the next generation of ChatGPT that can take even more text input and has better "reasoning" and creative abilities.

Ways I dislike -- and ways I like -- for you to ask me questions 😅
Thank you for engaging with my courses! I truly am grateful to be able to support you, my students and clients, in growing your authentic business. It’s what I love doing the most. 🤗 At the same time, since I'm (mostly) a solopreneur, I also need to keep healthy boundaries with those I'm supporting... so I hope you will keep these in mind... Ways I dislike getting questions: Social media private messaging -- whether it's FB messaging, IG dm's, Twitter, LinkedIn etc... I really dislike getting questions through those channels because it's hard to organize messages in those places. Kindly refrain from asking me questions via social media direct messages. Email -- I don't mind getting questions via email if it's enrollment-related: something you need to clarify before signing up for my courses or programs. If it's questions related to the content of my courses, e.g. concepts, exercises, feedback requests etc, please use one of the following methods... Ways I love to receive your questions: Q&A calls -- this is my favorite way to engage with you and take your questions! There, you can ask me anything 🤗 Even if you’re not clear about your question, coming to the call will likely give you inspiration and ideas! You can then ask me about specific concepts, or how to apply them to your business. We can troubleshoot what's not working, or address specific challenges you're having. You can also seek my feedback about anything including your strategy, website, content, offers, or anything else. Click here: George Kao Q&A Calls. Comments under Lessons -- if you can't come to my Q&A calls or would love to get an answer sooner, find the course (George Kao Courses) related to the topic of your question. Go there, find the related lesson, and then comment underneath. This keeps the Q&A focused on a specific topic. I'll do my best to respond to your question within a few days. Members of ABC/MasterHeart -- I'd love for you to post your questions in our private forum, so that you can receive responses from other members. Your questions will also help me prepare for the next ABC Q&A calls. Even if you can't post your questions, you can still come to the Q&A calls and ask directly. Thank you for understanding! 🙏🏼 As business owners / service providers we each need to find a way to keep healthy boundaries in our work! I hope this page/video gives you some ideas for how to maintain a good relationship with your own audience as well. 😊
Do we have to sign up before attending a Q&A call or is there a link where we can just attend, like when we're in a 9month course?

Affil Orientation -- How to turn ANY link into your affiliate link :)
The only limitation is you cannot create an affiliate link for a social media post and post it to that same platform. For example, you cannot create an affil link for a Facebook post and share it on Facebook itself (because FB will remove the affiliating) however you can share that affiliate link via any other platform or via email, and it will track properly. Get your affiliate links here If interested in that Twitter thread mentioned in the video, click here.
So easy!!! Wish I'd checked this out ages ago. Thanks for the excellent description and for finding such user-friendly systems for us.

George - I like the 0-10 scale as a starting point.
Hey@George Kao ! Thanks for these links. I am still having bad luck with ChatGPT so am not signed up for it yet.
1) It did not work on my Safari web browser. I do not like using Chrome but resort to it on rare occasions something doesn't work the way it should.
2) They are still not letting me sign up for even a free account without confirming a working cell phone number to verify my account which I am not willing to give them (whoever them is). They will accept my Google voice number nor a landline. Only a mobile phone number.
So for now I am not able to access it and hope you might share another of your favorite technologies like this out there.
