1. The 7-step playbook behind $3M ARR in 5 months

Chris Donnelly

Chris flew to San Francisco, found 2 technical co-founders, and built Searchable to $3M ARR in 5 months. The part that did the heavy lifting? He built an audience before he built the product.

What you'll discover:

• His CODE framework for validating ideas: consumer trends, opportunity, demand, and economic sizing (total customers × total spend).
• Why a free waitlist converts at 50-70% versus 2-5% for a hard sell, and why 200 signups is your pass/fail line.
• The free "AI visibility report" lead magnet that flipped nearly 50% of free users into paying customers.

2. 9 Meta ad hooks pulling 45%+ hook rates right now

Dara Denney

Dara has helped make over 20,000 ads and analysed more than $1 billion in spend. Her team wanted her to cut the last 2 hooks from this list. She kept them in (they're the ones that aren't even words).

What you'll discover:

• The trigger-word trick: upload your top 5 hooks, run them through Claude, inject phrases like "ruining my life" into a structure you know already converts.
• The 3 "how to" angles that hit different funnel stages: "how to know if", "how do I pick", "how to start".
• The 2 non-verbal hooks (a Snapchat filter and a whispered voiceover) that quietly out-convert the clever copy.

3. Amazon caps titles at 75 characters in 2026

Navia

From 27 July 2026, every non-media product title hard caps at 75 characters, spaces and commas included. Those 200-character stuffed titles are done. Here's how to redistribute the space before Amazon's AI does it for you.

What you'll discover:

• The new split: a 75-char title plus a 125-char "item highlights" section, tuned for the Cosmo algorithm and Rufus.
• The exact title formula (brand → core product name → key attribute or scenario) and a 4-step audit-to-compliance process.
• The 14-day window where ignoring AI suggestions lets Amazon overwrite your listings, sometimes hallucinating trademarked terms.

4. A free Meta AI profile that Google indexes (DR79)

Jesper Nissen SEO

Meta now lets you make public profiles on meta.ai, and they're indexable. Jesper got one indexed in minutes, sitting on a domain with a rating of 79.

What you'll discover:

• The exact setup: log into your Instagram, create the meta.ai profile, add a 200-char bio with your URL, then push it to an indexer.
• Why a non-clickable URL still works, Google reads the text and links your brand to your site.
• How this feeds the grounding data for Meta's new in-app AI search, like a Google Business Profile for the Facebook ecosystem.

5. Connect Claude to WordPress in 3 minutes

Darrel Wilson

Darrel wires Claude straight into WordPress with a free plugin, then has it build pages and full sites by command. The trick is one instruction that stops it dumping everything as raw HTML.

What you'll discover:

• Installing the free Novamira plugin and pasting its JSON config into Claude desktop to connect the two.
• The single prompt line ("use Elementor containers, not atomic elements") that makes Claude build with real page-builder widgets.
• Why the desktop app beats the browser and terminal methods for this, fewer errors, cleaner builds.

6. Claude Code vs ChatGPT Codex on a real WordPress build

WPDev

Same reference design, same prompt, same assets. Codex was 7 minutes faster on round one. It still lost. The deciding factor was how each tool handled feedback.

What you'll discover:

• The 5 scoring criteria: visual match, layout cleanliness, animation quality, build time, and fix-prompts needed.
• Where each tool stumbled, Claude Code nailed structure but whiffed the hero image; Codex got visuals closer but botched spacing.
• Why Claude Code won: on the fix round it was 6 minutes faster and needed fewer prompts to get clean.

7. Build a full live website with Claude Design, no code

Ferdy Korpershoek

Ferdy goes from blank account to a live, multi-page website with a free domain, a working contact form, and an inbox that receives submissions. All without writing code.

What you'll discover:

• Setting up a reusable design system (grabbed from getdesign.md) so every page keeps the same style.
• Shrinking a 147MB export to 8.4MB by telling Claude to resize images to 1280px and rename them to keywords.
• Wiring a real contact form with a send.php file so submissions land in your own inbox, plus adding Google Analytics across all pages.

8. Hand your whole social workflow to Claude

Nico | AI Ranking

Nico says recording is the easy 10%. The captions, the posting everywhere, the comments, the DMs, that's what makes people quit. He handed nearly all of it to Claude Code and saved a couple of hours a day.

What you'll discover:

• The stack: record in Tella, then use the Zerenio connection to push one video to Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok and LinkedIn.
• How Claude generates a different caption per platform from the transcript so nothing looks duplicated.
• Letting Claude track comments and DMs daily and auto-reply with your link, replacing a ~$20/month ManyChat setup.

9. Brand mentions are the new backlinks (50 a week)

Vasco's SEO Tips

When ChatGPT recommends "the best rank tracking software", a lot of its sources mention those brands with no link at all. Vasco thinks plain mentions now carry weight, and most people have no idea.

What you'll discover:

• Why you can ask a high-authority site for a mention instead of a link, often at a hefty discount, because few people value mentions yet.
• The method: find the prompts you want to rank for, see who's cited, then force-include yourself or build similar sources.
• Why DR is becoming a vanity metric, a DR55 site outranking the NYT, Reddit and Amazon shows relevance beats raw authority.

10. Turn free AI websites into $1,000/month recurring

Nick Ponte

Nick closed a $5,000 website deal yesterday. He's clear: nobody gets rich building sites. The website is just the foot in the door. The real money is the $1,000/month service that follows.

What you'll discover:

• Why giving the AI-built website away free (or for $100/month hosting) beats chasing a big upfront fee when you're new.
• The "sniper" prospecting prompt that finds 25 businesses already running Google Ads, with contact info, so you target people who have money.
• How to stack recurring revenue: Google Business Profile optimisation, monthly blogs, and social posting sold as $750-$2,000/month packages.

That's the 10. If you only act on one thing today, make it the Amazon title change (if you sell there) or the waitlist idea from the video. 1. Both cost almost nothing and both compound.

Reply and tell me which one you're testing. I read them.

P.S. The Amazon 75-character cap goes live 27 July 2026, and AI takes the wheel on any listing you don't update inside the 14-day window. If you've got Amazon SKUs, start with your high-velocity products today, not next week.
