1. Turn Your Prompts into a $15k/Month Business

If you've got a folder full of ChatGPT prompts you've built up over time, you might be sitting on a digital product goldmine — and I'm not talking about selling a PDF.

The play here is building Custom GPTs that work like full software systems. These things can book calls and process payments. That's why they command real money versus a $27 prompt pack.

The key is something called "Actions" — using simple JSON schemas to plug your GPT into tools like Zapier, Calendly or Stripe. Zero coding required. Three specific monetisation models are covered here: free users, paywalled content, and high-ticket B2B.

2. The "Slim Shady" Link Building Method

Old-school PBNs are getting risky. Pure white-hat is too slow. The agencies winning in 2026 are using a hybrid they're calling the "Slim Shady" method — and their clients are specifically asking for it now.

It's a blend of traditional grey-hat tactics mixed with Digital PR. The goal is an aggressive backlink profile that still looks completely legitimate to Google.

If you're doing any kind of SEO for yourself or clients, this is worth 20 minutes of your time.

3. Stop Publishing New Content (Do This Instead)

Matt Diggity ran a real experiment: he completely stopped writing new blog posts for a client. Traffic doubled. The secret was distribution and content recycling — not creation.

The workflow he lays out turns one existing blog post into a YouTube video, a Short, a Reddit thread and an AI-ready summary page. He also shows a quarterly refresh strategy that brings dead posts back to page one.

If you're stuck on the content hamster wheel, this one's a genuine pattern interrupt.

4. Stop Chasing "Window Shoppers" on ClickBank

Getting clicks but no sales? You're probably paying for curiosity, not buyer intent.

This breaks down the psychology of what he calls the "Buyer Click" — and how quiz funnels can filter out tyre-kickers before you ever pay for their click. There's also a specific Google Ads campaign structure designed to reach people with credit cards in hand.

Good reminder that human psychology still beats AI automation when it comes to high-ticket ad copy.

5. Monetising Instagram with Only 10k Followers

Waiting until you hit 100k to start monetising is leaving real money on the table. This covers the "Theme Page" blueprint — specifically, why selling your own simple ebook beats chasing shoutout income.

There's a specific follower growth rate benchmark (300 per day) flagged as the point to flip the monetisation switch, plus a solid walk-through of using the link-in-bio for affiliate offers without being spammy.

6. Is Google Trying to Trick You? (New Patent Revealed)

This one caught my attention. Google has a patent that describes something called a "Rank Transition Function."

Basically, they may be faking ranking drops to see if you panic and start changing things. And if you do react — within the first 70 days — that reaction itself could trigger a penalty.

There's also a second patent covered here where Google generates its own landing pages to replace yours for specific queries. The defence? Building "Brand Documentation" so their AI cites you instead of replacing you.

7. The NotebookLM "Visuals" Trick

Google's NotebookLM now lets you turn PDFs and research papers into infographics and social posts in a single click.

The walkthrough covers four specific prompts for generating Deep Research, Infographics, Data Tables and SEO Blog Posts — plus how to use visual styles like "Kawaii" or "Editorial" to make data shareable on LinkedIn and Twitter. Full content piece researched, designed and written in under 10 minutes.

8. 5 "Psycho Profit" AI Agency Ideas

Businesses don't pay for prompts. They pay to make problems disappear. These five ideas are aimed at local businesses and they're surprisingly simple to execute.

Highlights include using AI to upgrade restaurant food photos to Michelin-star quality (restaurants pay serious money for this), setting up voice agents that answer missed calls for dentists and contractors, and a "no-website hunter" approach using Buildi.ai to build a site in under three minutes.

9. How to Pick a Niche (That Actually Ranks)

Most people fail because they pick something too broad. This video watches a complete beginner find a winning niche using real data and four clear principles: Competition, Commercial Value, Breadth, and Personal Interest.

The "Local Hub" strategy is a smart one — starting with something like "Best Italian Restaurants in Boston" beats going broad from day one. There's also a good section on using keyword modifiers to validate that people actually buy things in the niche.

10. The 10-Minute AI Affiliate Workflow

A fast walkthrough of automating the full affiliate marketing stack. The standout here is using Kalodata to find products that are just starting to trend — before everyone else piles in.

There's also a specific ChatGPT validation prompt to assess a product's potential before you waste time on it, plus a method to use AI to pull winning video ad scripts and regenerate them instantly.

👉 Watch the Workflow​

11. Turn NotebookLM Into Your "Second Brain"

This goes well beyond basic summaries. The core idea is connecting NotebookLM to Gemini and attaching a "Business Philosophy" notebook so the AI actually writes in your voice and style.

The "Gem Generation" section is worth the watch alone — turning your best workflows into reusable apps you can deploy repeatedly. If you use NotebookLM at all, this is the upgrade.

12. 5 Boring SaaS Ideas That Will Make You Rich

Stop trying to build the next big thing. B2B software that quietly saves people time is where the real money is.

The five ideas covered: content generators, AI companions for customer support, clinical note automation, property management tools, and restaurant inventory tracking. There's also a live build of an MVP using Base44 — which you know I'm a big fan of.

13. 573 Million Visitors (Free Traffic Sources)

Everyone's fighting over Facebook and Google while these platforms sit there with millions of users and almost no competition.

The three highlighted: Substack Notes for immediate organic reach, Lemon8 (described as Pinterest meets TikTok — strong for affiliate carousels right now), and Newsbreak — 50M+ users who skew older, wealthier and ready to buy.

573 million combined monthly visitors. Worth knowing where these are.

14. Automating "Kinsta-Level" SEO

Kinsta pulls 780,000 visitors a month from blog posts. This video builds an AI agent that mimics their content strategy on autopilot.

The three pieces: programmatic content from keyword feeds that auto-publish articles, an in-article SEO editor that injects internal links and images to avoid the "wall of text" penalty, and brand monitoring that tracks how AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude actually perceive your brand sentiment. That last one is increasingly important.

👉 Watch the Automation​

15. $11k/Month Selling PDFs with YouTube Shorts

No inventory. No complicated funnels. Just a specific problem solved with a simple PDF and a clever video hack.

The "Loop" hack is the thing here — creating 6-second videos that loop seamlessly, which tricks the algorithm into registering 400% retention. The research method is smart too: use the YouTube search bar to find problems people are actively searching to solve, then use ChatGPT to write the ebook and Gumroad or Shopify to sell it hands-free.

P.S. The Google patent story in item 6 is the one I'd read first. If you've had any unexplained ranking drops in the last 70 days, do not touch your SEO strategy until you've watched that video.
