If having trouble with any links, you can read the online version here

Hey Guys,

A DA92 domain just woke up from the dead, and the SEO world is losing its mind.

If you remember the pre-Reddit internet, you remember Digg. Well, it just relaunched with a clean slate—and right now it's passing link juice like it's 2008. One marketer already ranked #1 for a competitive keyword in 24 hours (then got his accounts nuked by admins, but we'll get to that).

But that's just one of 15 videos I'm breaking down for you today. We've got everything from a creator who sold an AI-written site for $34K, to a blueprint for scaling an agency to $75K/month using a "Trojan Horse" offer, to the new LinkedIn rules that explain why your reach just died.

Here's what's inside:

Quick Wins Summary:

  • The Opportunity: Digg.com is back with DA92 and wide open for exploitation
  • The Strategy: Why "How-To" posts are killing your LinkedIn reach (and what to post instead)
  • The Exit: How to sell a website for $34K using 50% AI content
  • The Tool: Claude can now control your mouse to organize your desktop
  • The Algorithm: Local SEO just became a "Contextual Multi-Arm Bandit" system (yes, really)

➡️ Your Complete Implementation Guide

I've done something different this time. For every single video in today's newsletter, I've created a complete implementation package that includes:

✅ 4-Paragraph Summary: The core strategy distilled into plain English

✅ 25 Key Takeaways: Every actionable insight worth remembering

✅ Step-by-Step Checklist: Exactly what to do, in order, to implement this yourself

No fluff. No theory. Just the documented steps you need to actually execute on these strategies.

1. The "Zombie" SEO Opportunity Nobody Saw Coming

The precursor to Reddit just relaunched with a completely clean slate. We're talking about a Domain Authority 92 site where you can register single-word usernames and create communities that don't exist yet. Because Google trusts this domain implicitly, content posted there can rank almost instantly.

Why this matters:

  • Digg is currently passing do-follow links (link juice you can't get anywhere else right now)
  • Single-word usernames are still available—grab them before they're gone
  • You can create the next "Subreddit" equivalent on a platform Google already trusts
  • This is a window, not a permanent opportunity—platforms always tighten up

2. The Psychology Behind Headlines That Get Clicked

Neil Patel breaks down the data: 8 out of 10 people read your headline, but only 2 out of 10 actually click. If you're creating content and nobody's reading it, your headline is the problem—not your content.

What you'll learn:

  • The "Rationales" technique using words like facts, strategies, lessons
  • Why specific numbers ($3,452) outperform round numbers every single time
  • The "Game Changing" adjective rule that spikes curiosity
  • How to structure headlines that promise a clear outcome

3. Case Study: Ranked #1, Then Got Banned

It's one thing to hear about a strategy. It's another to watch someone execute it live and document what happens. Jackie Chu used the Digg method to rank #1 for "Best Local SEO Software 2026" in record time. Then the admins caught on. This is a masterclass in Parasite SEO—high risk, high reward.

What you'll discover:

  • The exact SOP used to generate 30 articles and get them indexed instantly
  • The specific mistake that got his accounts shut down (so you can avoid it)
  • How to pivot when a platform starts fighting back against marketers
  • Why speed matters more than perfection with these opportunities

Watch the case study →


4. The "Lead Arbitrage" Directory Model

Most people build directories and pray for listing fees. This model is smarter: Build a directory, rank for keywords like "Tree Service Australia," capture the lead yourself via a form, then sell that lead back to the businesses listed on your own site. You're the middleman collecting a fee on both ends.

Why this works:

  • Use AI to populate a directory with thousands of listings instantly
  • The "Middleman" script for contacting businesses and selling them leads you captured
  • Why Microsoft Bing Webmaster Tools is the secret traffic weapon for new directories
  • How to monetize before you even have traffic

5. Master Google Search Console Like a Pro

Google Search Console is often looked at but rarely used correctly. This guide shows you how to stop obsessing over vanity metrics and start finding the hidden keywords already bringing you traffic—so you can double down on what's working.

What you'll learn:

  • Why you must filter out your brand name to see true SEO performance
  • How to identify "Commercial Intent" keywords you're accidentally ranking for
  • The "Meta Title Optimization" trick using query data to boost CTR
  • Finding quick wins in your existing data instead of chasing new keywords

6. Turn Messy Research Into Professional Presentations

Most people use AI to generate generic slides that look like AI slop. This video shows how to use Google's NotebookLM as a deep research assistant to create defensible, data-backed presentations for corporate or marketing use.

Key insights:

  • Why "Source Selection" is the step 90% of users skip (and why it ruins output)
  • How to prompt for specific audience tones (Corporate vs. Entertainment)
  • Creating infographics and slide decks that don't scream "AI-generated"
  • Using NotebookLM as a research layer before content creation

7. Generate "Handwritten" Notes Instantly

Need an aesthetic visual for a blog post or social media? You can now fool people into thinking you spent hours drawing notes. This is a quick prompt-engineering hack using Gemini's image generation that creates realistic notebook paper textures and handwriting.

What you'll discover:

  • The specific prompt to get notebook paper texture and realistic handwriting
  • How to upload your own PDFs to generate visual summaries
  • Why Gemini's text rendering on images is beating other tools right now
  • Quick visual assets for social media and blog posts

8. The Digg SEO Commentary & Warning

While everyone's just discovering Digg, this video breaks down the real risks. Digg has "Reddit DNA without Reddit Mods," making it a parasite SEO paradise—but if you go too hard, you lose everything overnight.

Critical warnings:

  • The "Force Indexing" method and why you can't just post and wait
  • How to "Stack Internal Links" to borrow authority from the main domain
  • Warning signs that Digg is starting to ban IPs and domains
  • How to exploit the opportunity without burning your accounts

9. How an AI Tool Sold a Site for $34,000

Think AI content can't rank or be sold? This creator built Trickman.ai, grew it to passive income levels, and sold it for $34K. The secret wasn't just "generating text"—it was using a specific workflow to beat human-written SEO scores and pass AI detection.

What you'll learn:

  • The "Smart Writer" settings used to pass AI detection and readability checks
  • How to structure "Listicles" that search engines and AI chatbots love
  • The "Search Gap" method for finding keywords that guarantee traffic
  • Building exit value into sites from day one

10. Local SEO is Dead (Long Live "Confidence Scores")

Forget everything you know about local SEO keywords. Google's local algorithm is now a "Contextual Multi-Arm Bandit" (yes, that's the actual technical name). It's acting more like a recommendation engine (think TikTok) than a traditional search engine. If you serve local clients, you need to understand "Entity Density."

What you'll discover:

  • Why the "3-Pack" isn't a ranking but a probabilistic selection
  • How to use a free Gemini API sheet to reverse engineer Google's decision-making
  • The "Structural Gap" analysis revealing what content is missing from your market
  • Why traditional local SEO tactics are becoming less effective

11. The "No-Face" AI Side Hustle

Stop trying to become an influencer. This video argues for the quiet money: Selling simple digital products (ebooks/guides) that solve specific problems, using YouTube for traffic—but without showing your face or building a personal brand.

The strategy:

  • Why you should strictly avoid Etsy (the "Copycat" problem kills margins)
  • How to use System.io to build a free sales funnel in under an hour
  • The "YouTube Search" strategy and why it beats TikTok for digital product sales
  • Creating products people actually want to buy instead of free content

Watch the strategy →


12. Stop Writing "How-To" Content on LinkedIn

If your reach on LinkedIn has tanked, it's not just you. The algorithm shifted. The days of generic educational carousels are over. If you want leads in 2026, you have to completely shift your narrative style from teaching to storytelling.

The new rules:

  • The shift from "How-To" to "How I" and why it saves your reach
  • Why you should treat your comment section like a billboard on other people's posts
  • The "Content Ecosystem" strategy: Getting your employees to post for you
  • Building authority through personal narrative instead of generic advice

13. AI News: Google Knows Everything About You

Google's Gemini can now access your Photos, Gmail, and Drive to answer questions based on your personal life. Meanwhile, OpenAI is pushing a cheaper $8/month tier to drive mass adoption, and new image generators are creating photorealistic images in under 0.5 seconds.

What's happening:

  • Personal Intelligence: How Gemini remembers your license plate from a random photo
  • Flux.2 Klein: New image generator creating photorealistic images in <0.5 seconds on consumer GPUs
  • Smart Glasses: Google's third attempt at AR glasses in 2026
  • The race to $8/month AI subscriptions for mainstream adoption

14. The $75k/Month "Trojan Horse" Offer

Stop trying to sell $5,000 websites to cold leads. This agency owner scaled to $75K/month by selling a cheap, high-quality website ($500) just to get the credit card on file, then upselling the service that actually makes the money. It's not about the website—it's about the relationship.

The blueprint:

  • The "Underdog" LSA (Local Service Ads) arbitrage strategy
  • Why trust is the highest form of currency in 2026
  • The exact upsell path: From $500 website → $2,000/month marketing
  • How to position ongoing services as the real value, not one-time builds

15. AI News: Claude Controls Your Mouse

Anthropic just released "Claude Co-work." It's not just a chatbot anymore—it can access your file system, organize your downloads folder, and execute terminal commands. This is the first real step toward true "Agentic" AI that takes action on your behalf.

What's new:

  • How to let AI clean up your messy desktop automatically
  • The drama: OpenAI rehiring an employee the same day they were fired for "unethical conduct"
  • Google Gemini is officially powering Siri on the next iPhone
  • What "Agentic AI" actually means for your workflow

Want the Unfair Advantage?

If you're serious about staying ahead of the curve (instead of constantly playing catch-up), you need more than just intel. You need:

The marketers making serious money aren't just reading about these strategies – they're implementing them with proven systems that actually work.

What Are You Going to Do With This?

Here's the reality: You just got 15 opportunities handed to you. Each one of these videos contains a strategy that someone, somewhere, is using to build actual businesses right now.

The Digg opportunity won't last forever. The LinkedIn algorithm will shift again. The "Trojan Horse" agency model will get copied until it's saturated.

The person who ships first usually wins.

So here's what I want you to do: Pick ONE strategy from this list. Just one. Go through the implementation guide I created for it, and execute on it today. Not next month. Today.

Because information without action is just entertainment—and I didn't curate this list for your entertainment. I curated it so you could build something.
