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

Hey Guys,

Here's what I'm seeing right now: while everyone's obsessing over the latest AI model, smart marketers are quietly banking serious money on platforms people wrote off years ago.

Facebook. Pinterest. Reddit.

But here's the twist - they're not doing it the old way. They're using AI to automate the boring stuff, hijacking Google traffic through Reddit threads, recycling Facebook posts that go viral on schedule, and building TikTok empires without ever showing their face.

This edition has 15 specific breakdowns you can steal. But remember - information without action is just entertainment. Pick ONE, ship it today, and iterate from there.

Let's get into it.

1. Claude Code: The Non-Technical Founder's Dream

Greg Isenberg claims the barrier to entry for software creation just collapsed. As someone who can't code (and honestly, my typing is so bad I couldn't even if I wanted to), this caught my attention.

What you need to know:

• Claude Code is currently the strongest "text-to-app" tool available
• Greg recorded a 31-minute breakdown showing the exact setup
• Perfect for marketers building micro-tools or lead magnets

Why this matters: You can now build the marketing tools you need instead of paying developers thousands or waiting months.

2. The "No-Face" TikTok Automation System

Mike Futia is generating 400k+ views using a system that runs on autopilot. No filming. No editing. Just results.

The stack:

• Airtable for concepts
• AI for copywriting
• Nano Banana for design
• Blotato for publishing

The format: AI-generated "selfie" hook → Value slides → Soft CTA

Why it scales: You can run multiple accounts without the manual grind. This is what I mean by systematic approaches - build it once, scale it forever.

3. The Reddit SEO "Hijack" Strategy

Jacky Chou shared a detailed SOP on using Reddit to capture high-intent Google traffic. This is smart - let Reddit do the ranking work, you just drop in at the right time.

The strategy:

• Don't start new threads - find threads already ranking on Page 1 of Google
• Write a "human" comment mirroring the user's problem before mentioning your brand
• Stack replies (one agreement, one detail) to push your comment into the top 3 spots

The targeting: Keywords like "Best SEO Agency" where buying intent is obvious.

4. Local SEO: Quality Beats Quantity (Backed by Data)

Stop buying expensive backlink packages. Here's the reality check:

The data: #1 Map Pack rankings averaged only 12 backlinks - not 100, not 1,000. Just 12.

The insight: 3-5 relevant local links (Chamber of Commerce, local news) crush 50 high-DA spam links every time.

This is another example of doing less, but doing it right. Speed matters, but direction matters more.

5. The "Zombie Post" Facebook Method

Alex Hawker recycles the exact same blog post every month on Facebook and it goes viral. Every. Single. Time.

The process:

1. Use ChatGPT to generate 10 new click-bait headlines for your old content
2. Swap the image in Canva with the new headline overlay
3. Post the link in the first comment (yes, this still works in 2026)

Why this works: You're not creating new content - you're repackaging proven content with fresh angles. Content multiplication at its finest.

6. The $65k/Month "Boring" Side Hustle

Mike Hoffmann claims $65k/month from a side hustle nobody would call sexy. No crypto. No dropshipping. Just high margins and simple execution.

The lesson: The unsexy businesses often scale easiest because there's less competition and more margin for error.

This aligns with what I've been saying - boring, systematic approaches beat shiny objects every time.

7. Backlink Building: 7 Hard-Earned Lessons

Sarvesh Shrivastava spent a decade learning what works. He condensed it into 7 lessons - what he wishes he knew at 20 vs. what he knows at 30.

The focus: Shortcuts to authority that don't violate Google's guidelines.

These are the kind of battle-tested insights that save you years of trial and error.

8. Dual-Engine SEO: Google + ChatGPT

Connor Gillivan argues you must optimize for AI answers now, not just Google search results. This is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) in action.

What AI loves:

• Clear H1/H2/H3 hierarchies
• Specific definitions
• Personal stories and data (what separates you from AI slop)

The goal: Become the cited source for both Google AND ChatGPT.

I've been implementing this across all my content - the traffic quality from AI search is significantly better than traditional Google traffic.

9. YouTube Hooks That Actually Retain Viewers

vidIQ shares the reality: 20% of viewers leave immediately if your intro drags. They break down 9 specific hook templates you can copy/paste into your scripts.

Why this matters: Retention is everything. Views mean nothing if people bounce in 5 seconds.

10. The Instagram AI Blueprint ($90k/Month)

Eric Cole claims a $90k/month run rate combining AI content with Instagram. The model focuses on automating visual content creation to drive traffic without constant burnout.

The promise: A systematic blueprint you can follow.

11. The Pinterest Traffic Machine

Bilal Javed explains why Pinterest beats Google for bloggers who hate algorithm volatility.

The strategy:

• Publish 2 AI articles + 10 pins daily across 4 accounts
• Pins have a lifespan of years (social posts last minutes)
• Monetize with display ads

The stability: No more waking up to Google algorithm changes that tank your traffic overnight.

12. Scheduling Content with Grok

Vipin Gautam shows how to use Grok (X's native AI) to bulk-create a month of content in 2 hours.

The system: 7 specific prompts to handle design, editing, and scheduling.

This is exactly what I do with my content - create once, distribute everywhere.

13. Hooks That Buy vs. Hooks That Just Get Views

Jeremy Moser highlights the critical difference between viral hooks and money hooks.

The problem: Most hooks attract the wrong audience - viewers, not buyers.

The solution: 5 frameworks specifically designed to attract high-ticket clients.

Remember - engagement metrics mean nothing if they don't convert to revenue.

14. The $50k/Month eBook Stack

Tommi Pedruzzi reveals his tech stack for selling simple 90-page eBooks at scale.

The stack:

15. The "Reverse" Reddit SEO Hack

Flavio offers a different angle on Reddit SEO using Ahrefs to find low-competition opportunities.

The method:

1. Use Ahrefs to find keywords where reddit.com ranks but difficulty is low
2. Create better content than the existing thread
3. Post it to Reddit with a backlink to your site

The win: You rank both your site AND the new Reddit thread. Double traffic, single effort.
