Jeff For Local Marketing breaks down the build-vs-buy decision for AI tools. His team spent a couple of months building a custom product for clients instead of buying off-the-shelf, gaining full control but at real cost in time and money. He treats AI as modular puzzle pieces you can assemble based on budget and needs.
Budget. And what that means is, hey, we want all of this. But it does take time and money because most of this right now, it's not like.
This artificial intelligence. Imagine it's a bunch of puzzle pieces that if you know what you're doing, you can put them all together and it's customized.
Distribute and post content. And as we started looking at this, we said A, it's quite expensive and B, because we're using it for many of our clients, we said, what if we built our own? And it's taken a couple of months to do this, but in the long run, now it's ours. And we did that, we put together all these pieces of the puzzle and now it's our product is something we can do and we're in full control of it. So that's something you want to take a look at. But if you're not ready for that because it can be expensive in time and money.
I'm going to take, say I'm going to roll out a four phase plan and it's phase one, phase two, phase three, phase four, and it's over, you know, 812 months, whatever the number is. So insufficient resources can be an issue.
