Everyone's obsessing over what's going to work in 2026. Meanwhile, smart marketers are quietly crushing it right now, using strategies most people gave up on years ago.

Quick Overview:

• Paid ads strategies scaling to six figures daily
• Why 150k words of copy still wasn't enough for a $10M launch
• Semrush data on how AI chooses who to trust
• Proven workflows for YouTube automation and 400% conversion boosts
• Why 2026 is shaping up to be the year of ChatGPT Ads

1. The $100k/Day Scale Strategy Nobody Talks About

Why this matters:

Everyone thinks auto-insurance affiliate marketing is dead. AMI Ads proved them wrong, scaling campaigns from $500 to $100k daily spend in 2025.

The key insight:

Stop blaming your traffic source. The problem is usually the signals you're sending back to the platform. His "Holy Trinity" for Meta in 2025: clean data signals, massive creative volume, and cost caps. He didn't switch verticals or platforms - he just fed the algorithm better data and let automation handle the rest.

This is exactly what I mean about execution speed. While others were planning their next pivot, he was testing and scaling.

2. The $10 Million Copywriting Reality Check

Why this matters:

​Lachie reveals that during a recent $10M+ launch with Jason Fladlien, they wrote 150,000 words of email copy - and still left millions on the table because they didn't have enough copy.

The key insight:

Even at the highest level, the bottleneck is volume. You need massive amounts of communication to overcome buyer hesitation. This is where AI becomes essential - not to replace copywriters, but to hit the volume requirements without sounding robotic.

The gap between "good" and "great" launches isn't just quality anymore. It's quantity at scale.

3. How AI Search Decides Who Gets Visibility (Semrush Data)

Why this matters:

If you're building citations on random forums hoping AI will notice you, stop. Semrush tracked AI platform behavior over 3 months and the results show a major shift.

The key insight:

Community sources (Reddit, Quora) are losing ground. AI models are shifting heavily toward authoritative, reference-grade domains. Visibility in AI answers isn't about "being everywhere" anymore - it's about being credible in the right places.

This changes everything about how you should be building your online presence in 2025.

4. Build Your First AI Agent (No Code Required)

Why this matters:

Agents are the next phase of automation, but most marketers avoid them because of the technical barrier. Machina shares a prompt that guides you through building your first agent.

The key insight:

You don't need coding skills. You need the right prompt to define the agent's behavior. This is a copy-paste resource to get you off zero and actually building something that works.

5. The Reddit-to-YouTube Cash Machine

Why this matters:

​Adam outlines a faceless channel strategy that turns Reddit viral stories into YouTube revenue without ever showing your face.

The key insight:

Pure content arbitrage. Source high-engagement stories from r/AskReddit, run them through Claude for narrative, ElevenLabs for voice, CapCut for editing, then publish to YouTube. High-engagement text becomes high-CPM video content.

This is the kind of systematic approach that actually generates consistent cash flow.

6. Make AI Content Sound Human (Claude Settings)

Why this matters:

If AI detection flags your content as robotic, your reach dies. Machina shares specific Claude settings that bypass AI detectors.

The key insight:

It's not just about prompts - it's about the system settings you apply to the model. These settings alter Claude's syntax and tone patterns to sound more human by default.

7. Context Engineering Beats Generic Prompting

Why this matters:

"Write a blog post about X" is dead. Alex Prompter explains how engineers at OpenAI and Anthropic actually use LLMs - through context engineering, not just prompts.

The key insight:

Output quality depends on the background data (context) you feed the LLM before asking for the task. The thread breaks down 8 specific methods to structure context for professional-level results.

This is the difference between amateur AI use and actually getting outputs you can use.

8. The PR Agency Playbook for Startups (Zero Budget)

Why this matters:

You don't need a $5k/month retainer. Natia Kurdadze leaks the exact workflow PR agencies use to get media placements with free tools.

The key insight:

Use submit.co for niche selection, GetProspect to find journalist emails, scrape LinkedIn for reporters in your niche, then send high-density articles. Result: media mentions and backlinks that build real authority.

9. The 400% TikTok Conversion Hack

Why this matters:

​0adspend reveals a psychological trigger that increased TikTok slideshow conversion rates by 400%.

The key insight:

Add stacked comments (social proof) to your slideshows. Seeing "real" accounts validate your product removes skepticism immediately. Same content, just with social proof slides added, generated $25k in 3 days.

This is pure conversion optimization - no new traffic required.

10. Preparing for ChatGPT Ads (2026 Prediction)

Why this matters:

​Brandon Longo predicts 2026 will be the biggest shift since Google Ads launched, with OpenAI preparing to monetize 800M+ users.

The key insight:

ChatGPT queries are high-intent. Advertisers will soon bid on conversational relevance, not just keywords. You can't just throw money at LLMs - you need answer-focused content to be eligible. The window to build organic authority before paid ads saturate this space is closing fast in Q1 2026.

First mover advantage is everything here.

11. Solve Timeless Problems, Not Tech Trends

Why this matters:

​Alex Nguyen reminds us that building wrappers around ChatGPT is a race to the bottom. The best startups solve boring, timeless human problems using AI as the tool, not the product.

The key insight:

Don't sell "AI." Sell solutions for fitness, money, or relationships. AI Calorie Tracker, AI Dropshipping Assistant, AI Dating Coach. These categories never die - trends do.

12. Alex Hormozi's Framework in AI Prompts

Why this matters:

Most people watch Hormozi videos and do nothing. Millie Marconi spent 3 weeks reverse-engineering his $100M framework into executable AI prompts.

The key insight:

Turns abstract advice ("Make a grand slam offer") into step-by-step AI workflows. This forces you to extract actual value from his principles without re-watching hours of content.

13. Why Generic Domain Names Are Dead in AI Search

Why this matters:

​Google's John Mueller dropped a bomb that affects both SEO and AI Search: If your brand name sounds like a keyword (like "BestOnlineWeb.com"), you're invisible.

The key insight:

When your name is generic, Google assumes users are looking for information, not you specifically. LLMs can't distinguish you from the topic. You need a unique entity name that maps to a real business, not a keyword bucket.

14. Reverse Engineering a $1.3M/Month Business

Why this matters:

​KNOX analyzed a top seller on Whop and discovered it was a direct clone of a competitor - down to the typos.

The key insight:

Don't reinvent the wheel. Find something that's already working and build your version. Most $1M/month offers have 3-7 revenue streams: entry fee → upsell 1 → upsell 2 → affiliate commission. Use site:{funnelurl} searches to map out hidden upsell pages.

This is the kind of research that actually moves the needle.

15. 15 AI Prompts to Systematize Your Backlinks

Why this matters:

​Connor Gillivan argues that smart founders don't just "do" backlinks - they systematize them. Here are 15 prompts to automate the boring parts of SEO.

The key insight:

Use AI to list targets, draft cold emails, and summarize articles for context. Includes prompts for guest posts, podcast appearances, and tools roundup opportunities. The key is using AI to ingest target content so outreach feels genuinely personal, not templated.
