TL;DR: Your Marketing Cheat Sheet

Facebook Ads Changed (Again): The old "one ad, multiple ad sets" strategy is dead. Facebook's Andromeda update demands creative diversity. The new formula? One campaign, one broad ad set, and 10-50 different ads. Let the algorithm do the heavy lifting.

The No-Code Gold Rush: The new ChatGPT App Store is creating a wealth-creation event similar to the original iPhone App Store. We've got the app ideas you can build with zero code using tools like Google AI Studio.

AI Agents Are Here: Forget AI that just gives you ideas. New AI can literally use your computer for you—clicking, typing, and navigating websites to automate any workflow. This is the biggest leap in automation we've seen.

The Secret Weapon in a Digital World: While everyone's fighting over ad space, channels like Email Marketing (with a 45x ROI) and Direct Mail (13x ROI) are delivering massive, overlooked returns.

Protect Your #1 Asset: Negative SEO is real, cheap, and can get your competitors' sites de-ranked. The best defense is a good offense—building a high-quality, natural backlink profile.
