It's SM3jRQiNmjMsiju3Fd Keith Andrade, founder of The Morning Byte

"One of my interests is keeping up-to-date about the latest technology which is happening within the technology and business worlds," starts Keith Andade who worked in the field of software as services (SaaS) for the last seven years.

He was a student at Baruch College, a business institution located in Manhattan, and while he was there, he absorbed a lot about business to connect with his interest in technological advancement. "The two go hand-in-hand," he discovered. " Businesses today require technology to be successful for growth and scaling. It was interesting to realize the way these technologies work."

Following college, he was employed as a health insurance representative as well as payroll business. "Previously there was nothing but papers and pens, as well as filing cabinets. But the new business was revolutionizing the market," he recalls.

Then he was employed at monday.com as well as ones.com, selling project management software to businesses. "I enjoyed it. However, I discovered that in order to be able to engage effectively with my clients, I needed to not just understand technology, not just understand how their business operates, but also keep up-to-date on new trends."

Keith used to spend his free time writing articles and researching in order to send them to family and friends. "I thought, 'I can't just keep delivering them content every day about something that I find interesting'. So I created the news text service in order to provide a brief overview on what's going on." He built an automation with Zapier as well as ChatGPT to find interesting his favorite articles, rewrite the information into bullet points, and send it as an SMS message to his users," Keith explains.

Social media's problems

"Our customers love social media. Everyone does - it's that immediate gratification" Keith continues. The problem with social media is that it takes the majority amount of time. There are many ways to utilize TikTok to find some brief news updates You could use Instagram and follow your preferred influential person to view a carousel image post of what's happening, but the issue is that when you launch an app, you're exposed to other ideas and beliefs which are automatically displayed on your feeds."

Keith believes that one of the benefits that comes from The Morning Byte is it is free of the distractions from another content that is competing for your focus. "It's only a text message, You can access it at any time you'd like. You have that freedom again," he explains.

Some readers look at the article first thing in the morning, while others skim over it at lunchtime. "The concept is that you're in control of your time and attention. Social media is a place where you must cut through the noise to locate what you're looking for. Social media is a sucker and it wastes your time. And time is the most precious thing that we possess," Keith adds.

The author continues to argue that social media has no motive to enhance our lives. "It's a great way to remain connected however, it's not solely about staying connected, right?" he asks. "I go through my newsfeed including all ads, or businesses that pay to post their stuff."

"I think social media is enjoyable. I think it's good; However, I'm not convinced it's a great idea. In my opinion, it's not helpful for our mental wellbeing. The Morning Byte is a place for people who actually would like to make their lives better." He advises people who wish to take advantage of technology or aspiring to be business owners should have sources to stay on top of their game "All I'm saying is that The Morning Byte might be your number one choice!" he smiles.

Most importantly, Keith uses his own products every single throughout the day. "I spend nights working until midnight in search of the most relevant stuff since sometimes events happen in the evening and I want individuals to be prepared and educated before they begin their day. I select reliable sources like Reuters or the New York Times. Forbes could be a good choice; The Verge is a excellent source."

Keith notes that, even if you're a small enterprise owner, if are able to provide reliable information that may be not accessible to a large media firm, it's definitely worth the attention of The Morning Byte. "If I find your piece interesting, it's going out to our readers - so in the sense that it's relevant!" he adds.

Staying ahead of the game

In his experience working with several firms, Keith was constantly thinking how to take something he liked and monetize it while offering value to the customers. Prior to coming to the idea of a business model for Morning Byte Morning Byte, he noticed another client, The New Paper, did something similar however, it was in the realm of political news. Keith recognized an opportunity.

"I believe there is a lot of value for people working in technology. Real estate professionals, for example need to know the ways in which AI technology impacts their lives." Keith thought he could aid them to stay on top of their game. "If you're a professional podcaster It's like 'Do I require the latest microphone?' Or is there a tool that can help me make my voice sound crisp?' All of these are issues that people ask their own since there's an innovative AI software being released each day."

I am a tech worker and I am constantly trying to increase sales and win businesses." In contrast, The New Paper focuses on politics, The Morning Byte focuses on the financial sector and electric cars. It also covers machine learning and artificial intelligence."

Understandably enough, Keith's subscribers are professionals in the field of technology and business owners, with limited time. "It's hard to keep up and there's false information. The information on my site is true. I have highlights from the articles. It's not necessary to read the whole article and you only get the bullets, to be able to understand the situation.

It looks like Keith's journey has taken him full circle beginning as a person who needed data, to becoming a purchaser of his own products, and finally, a founding member of a company that collects data for other people. It's one thing keeping up to date, but, as Keith has realized, being ahead of the game is a different ball game. But there are services out that can help. Maybe it's time for you to get an Byte!
