✍️ Last Updated: October 21, 2025

Hey there! I'm Xiaochang 🌭
Time for the weekly letter again—let's grow a little together!

🎁 Free Registration: [Each Has Their Gut] SEO & ChatGPT Content Auto-Generation System

✦ Speaker: Simon
✦ Time: May 14, 2025 (Wed) 19:30 – 21:00 (including Q&A)

One session per month with limited spots available each time (replay videos will be planned as paid resources in the future)! Amateur instructors aren't necessarily professional speakers—please consider carefully before registering 💛

Simon

I met Simon at a WordPress meetup and discovered he runs a systems business and helps clients manage SEO articles. He mentioned he can "produce SEO articles very quickly"!

How fast exactly?? (said fiercely) Because every word in my blog articles is typed out by me personally with absolutely no AI assistance. I wanted to understand how AI could help speed up my writing while preserving my own unique personality, so I invited them to share about it!

✦ Why You Should Attend Simon's Talk?

  • Over 10 years of hands-on digital marketing and SEO experience, specializing in highly competitive North American markets.
  • Has managed hundreds of SEO projects for the US and Canada with international hands-on expertise.
  • In-depth research in ChatGPT and AI, building SEO content automation systems to achieve zero-intervention operations.
  • Help businesses and personal brands establish stable organic visibility and scale content operations.
  • Combine strategy and technology to share actionable AI + SEO methods you can apply directly, helping you master the core competitive advantage in future digital marketing.

📝 Notion What's the Difference When Placing Notes in Heptabase?

Recently, I've been having intensive meetings with new partners at Life Exit Events, working hard to establish my original dream brand as a real-world experience. Her notes have always been in Notion, but because of my influence, we started trying Heptabase for collaboration. I exported her Notion notes using the page export feature, imported them into Heptabase, and then reorganized the notes using my own logic.

And we discovered together: 'This thing is absolutely amazing!' Because Heptabase notes have a key capability that Notion doesn't: 'Spatial Memory.'

In Heptabase, you can remember that card A is in the lower left of the whiteboard, card B is on the right side of the mind map. This 'spatial' dimension of note-taking deepens your brain's memory of knowledge. Every card position in a Heptabase whiteboard helps us 'remember where this piece of knowledge lives in our mind,' making me fall in love with Heptabase all over again~

🔋 When motivation is low, look atthe journal entries you wrote when your energy was high

2025 is already halfway through, and my energy has been drained lately! I spent time healing (exercising, binge-watching, eating fried chicken XD), but none of it worked! Then I suddenly saw a journal entry I wrote before:

  • Shouldn't I do an outdoor bikini photoshoot this year?
  • Shouldn't I take the Life Exit community on an international trip this year?
  • Shouldn't I perform street singing this year?
  • Shouldn't I finish producing the big course and help many people build their personal Knowledge Management libraries this year?

Looking at my passionate past self and these four goals I listed but never executed 😂 Suddenly, life has direction and motivation again. My carefree P personality really is something—I set goals but forget about them two months later. I'm sharing this newsletter to remind everyone, and especially to remind myself to keep moving forward!
