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

Hey Guys,

Welcome to 2026. While everyone else was celebrating New Year's, the marketing landscape shifted under our feet.

If you thought AI was just a buzzword, you're about to get a wake-up call. Companies are replacing entire sales teams with AI agents. Facebook Groups just became the new SEO goldmine. And Google is now generating your ad creative for you.

The playbook changed. Here's what actually matters:

What You Need to Know:

• Sales teams are getting replaced by AI agents (same revenue, 90% fewer humans)
• Facebook Groups are the new Reddit for SEO (and nobody's talking about it yet)
• Meta and Google integrated AI generation directly into their platforms
• ChatGPT SEO is now mandatory, not optional

Let's break down the 15 strategies that actually work in 2026:

1. The Death of Mid-Tier SDRs

Jason Lemkin (SaaStr) just shared a case study that should scare the hell out of traditional sales teams: one company went from 10 human SDRs to 1.2 humans + 20 AI agents. Same revenue. 90% fewer salaries.

The reality: Mid-tier SDR roles are gone within 12 months. The winners will be the people who learn to manage AI agent fleets, not the ones doing the grunt work.

The math: 1.2 Humans + 20 AI Agents = 10 Human SDRs in output

2. Ranking in “Near Me” Searches Without Gaming Google

Most local businesses think Google Maps ranking is about reviews and backlinks. That's why most stay invisible.

4. The 2026 Digital Product Roadmap to $20K/Month

No fluff. "Ecomchigga" released a complete, step-by-step blueprint for hitting $20k/month this year using current market conditions.

Key points:

• Niches that work: AI OnlyFans management (no real models), AI UGC, High-Ticket Sales
• Pricing: Skip $9 products. Start at $34-$50 to signal value
• Validation: If you don't get 15+ responses to a "thinking about making this" tweet, don't build it

5. Optimize for ChatGPT Search or Get Left Behind

Alex Groberman analyzed 30 million ChatGPT prompts. The result? Click-through rates from ChatGPT to websites have tripled.

What's working:

• Shopping prompts grew 70% in 2025
• Question-based H2s followed by direct answers
• TLDR blocks at the top of pages (LLMs scrape these first)

This isn't optional anymore. ChatGPT SEO is mandatory.

6. Facebook Groups: The New Parasite SEO Exploit

Reddit's saturated. Jacky Chou figured out that Facebook Groups are the “New Reddit” for Google search results — and almost nobody's using them yet.

The method:

• Create a public Facebook Group
• Post "Best [Keyword] 2026" content
• Force index the URL
• Edit the post endlessly to keep it “fresh” in Google's eyes

High domain trust. No strict moderation. This is the exploit of 2026.

8. Meta Search Is Live (And It Changes Everything)

Meta just plugged Llama 3 into search bars across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Social media is flipping from passive scrolling to active searching.

What this means: Your ads need to answer questions, not just disrupt scrolls.
