Best Jon Schumacher quotes on AI

@Jon_Schumacher

Trust is the ultimate currency for us as creators.

If you're just shipping AI garbage that doesn't sound like you, they're going to go, what happened to this person.

@Jon_Schumacher

AI is trained on tons of information on the internet.

When you give it a prompt, it's going to take that vast knowledge and average it together and give you just that, an average result.

It's still just a very complex autocomplete.

82% of business owners, solopreneurs, coaches, and consultants use one to two sentence prompts when they're using AI.

They treat a supercomputer like a search engine.

It'd be like hiring an intern or a freelancer and handing them a sticky note of instructions and expecting them to produce magic for you.

AI is the biggest yes man on the planet.

It's going to tell you your idea is great.

@Jon_Schumacher

You still need to improve your knowledge as a human being too.

You still need to understand what good actually is.

There's still a market for helping people understand what good is, even in the world of AI.

@Jon_Schumacher

There's endless hype and endless new software drops dropping seemingly every day.

If you dive into each of those, your head's literally going to spin off your neck.

@Jon_Schumacher

Out of the box, AI doesn't know you.

It doesn't know who you help or how you help them at a deep enough level.

If you've ever used AI and thought, well, that doesn't sound like me at all, you're not crazy.

You're just using the wrong operating system.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Jon_Schumacher

AI really lacks four key critical pieces of context.

It doesn't know you deep enough.

It doesn't know who you help at a deep enough level.

It doesn't know how you help people.

And most importantly, it doesn't know what good is.

@Jon_Schumacher

Start with a paid account, whether it's ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, whatever.

Get good at using it.

Understand that you need to build a little bit of context.

Get used to creating gems or projects.

That's going to put you ahead of 80 to 90% of the users.

Jon Schumacher quotes on monetization

Jon has sold over $1M in AI tools. He says course creators need to become tool makers and sells lifetime licenses at $2,000 instead of monthly subscriptions.

@Jon_Schumacher

YouTube has just taken off like a rocket ship.

There's so much free information out there now.

The free bar continues to go up.

You combine that with AI.

The need to buy information is much less.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Jon_Schumacher

I've been advising some of my people to take those same frameworks and move from a course creator to a tool maker.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Jon_Schumacher

AI is the new part of the multimedia stack.

I still record videos.

I still have PDFs.

But we're moving into a direction where you've got to have an AI element.

It would be like selling a course without any videos a couple of years ago.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Jon_Schumacher

I'm likely going to make more money selling this for a $2,000 ticket for a license and actually bring the cash in upfront.

Than I would having to play the $99 a month game and try to retain people forever.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Jon_Schumacher

I still think there's value in selling courses.

They just need to be more interactive.

They need to evolve.

You can't just sell the static information as much.

People don't value it as much as they used to.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Jon_Schumacher

If you're just selling an information-only course, you're going to be facing headwinds.

I'm not saying it won't sell.

You're going to be struggling to sell it more.

@Jon_Schumacher

If you can demo that well and show that well, you'll stand out in your industry.

You'll be more cutting edge and your programs will sell better.

@Jon_Schumacher

I've sold well over a million dollars worth of my AI stuff the past few years.

Whereas a lot of my colleagues are struggling more and more because they just haven't made the shift.

@Jon_Schumacher

I'm going to sell this as a lifetime, life of the product license.

I've been allergic to the $99 a month model forever.

@Jon_Schumacher

Most of our peers are selling courses that have GPTs linked in their WordPress site.

They're just linking off to ChatGPT.

Here's a GPT to use for that.

Jon still ranks #1 on Google for "webinar consultant" but says nobody Googles anymore. AI tools are becoming the new lead magnets.

@Jon_Schumacher

I've asked countless clients, why did they buy from me?

And they always said it was me.

People buy you more than they buy what you do.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Jon_Schumacher

If you rank Google webinar consultant, I still rank number one.

But nobody Googles anymore.

It's all AI snippets.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Jon_Schumacher

I'm actually using four of these agents as lead magnets I'm going to be testing during my next launch.

People are going to be opting in for an AI tool.

Quotes by Jon Schumacher on entrepreneurship

Jon went from physical therapist selling $47 eBooks to building ConversionOS. He uses the PIPO framework to make sure every tool solves a real problem.

@Jon_Schumacher

It still comes down to solving problems.

I have a framework called PIPO.

Problem, inputs, process and outputs.

We're still solving problems for profit.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Jon_Schumacher

Some people forget about that.

They get hyped up by the AI and end up creating all this stuff.

And it's like, okay, are you really solving a problem.

Source: AI Creator Summit

@Jon_Schumacher

What problem am I solving?

What inputs do I need from the user?

What is the tool going to do with the questions that are answered?

What does the output format look like?

If you map those things out ahead of time, your agent will be more cohesive.

I'm not building a unicorn SaaS that I'm going to sell for a 7X EBITDA exit.

@Jon_Schumacher

I know my lane.

My focus is on building audiences and sharing information.

I'm not a deeply technical person.

Without those, every output will be average because AI just averages the internet.

Problem, Inputs, Process, Outputs.

Jon uses it to map out every AI tool he builds.

What problem does it solve?

What inputs does it need?

What does it do with them?

What's the output format?

He says information-only courses face headwinds because free content and AI have raised the bar.
