Hey Guys,

While most marketers are still grinding for Google rankings, a small group of builders are quietly pulling massive traffic from sources the majority haven't even thought to optimise for yet.

Today's edition is loaded. We're talking about ranking inside ChatGPT, scaling Amazon KDP to $39k a month, running a 20-year Google Ads blueprint that still crushes it, and the insane workflow one marketer used to build 40 ads and 100 landing pages in a single afternoon.

Some of these methods are actually easier than the old-school approach — if you know what to do.

Let's get into it.

Today's Edition at a Glance:

• The AI SEO Pivot: Ranking in ChatGPT is reportedly 69x easier than Google right now
• Automated Income: Turning Reddit pain points into a $39k/month KDP portfolio
• Paid Ads Blueprint: The Google Ads framework that hasn't changed in 20 years — and still wins
• The 100-Page Day: 40 ad variations and 100 landing pages built in one afternoon

1. 📌 Build Your Own Claude "Coworker" in 72 Hours @AIandTechh87​

Most people treat AI like a search engine. Sam Robert shows you how to turn it into an actual teammate that knows your workflow, your style, and your tools.

Day 1: Set up global instructions so Claude sounds like you. Day 2: Build workflows for competitive research and instant landing page creation. Day 3: Connect Claude to your external tools for a fully integrated system.

The copy-paste prompts alone are worth the read — they cut the learning curve significantly.

Information without action is just entertainment. Grab the prompts and deploy at least one today.

2. 📌 Local SEO: The "Near Me" Trap Killing Your Conversions @sengineland​

Search Engine Land breaks down why you're losing local customers before they even get to the search bar.

The mistake most local businesses make is targeting services instead of "Jobs-To-Be-Done." The fix? Build pages that solve the underlying problem before the customer knows they need a professional.

This is about capturing high-intent demand earlier in the buying journey — and it consistently beats competitors who are optimising the wrong way.

3. 📌 How to Rank #1 in ChatGPT in Under 30 Days @SEOKeval​

Keval Shah breaks down an AI SEO playbook that sidesteps Google's authority requirements entirely.

Start by asking ChatGPT for recommendations in your niche and reverse-engineering which sources it cites. Then build listicles that mirror those cited sources — but with your brand at the top. Use Claude to spin variations and place them on niche-relevant blogs with a DR of 30+. Once Google indexes those third-party references, ChatGPT starts recommending you.

It's a feedback loop that compounds fast.

4. 📌 The $39,000/Month Amazon KDP System @TommiPedruzzi​

Tommi Pedruzzi shares how to use AI to enter the non-fiction book market without being a professional writer.

The core idea is finding topics people are already paying for (stop guessing, start researching), then using a "stacking" method where multiple books create a predictable daily income floor. This is a 12-page breakdown of a system he's refined over 6 years in the KDP space.

The person who ships first usually wins. This model rewards volume and speed — both things AI makes dramatically easier.

5. 📌 The 20-Year Google Ads Blueprint @IMJustinBrooke​

In a world obsessed with AI hacks, Justin Brooke shares the stable, scalable Google Ads framework that's been working since 2007.

Keep ad groups to 3–5 tightly themed keywords. Use Phrase Match for the best balance of reach and intent. Start at $10/day and increase by 20% weekly as long as it stays profitable. When you hit $500/day, switch to automation rules and tCPA bidding.

Boring? Maybe. Reliable? Absolutely.

6. 📌 The LLM SEO Boom: 825% Traffic Growth @denohawari​

Deno Hawari details how B2B SaaS companies are capitalising on the shift toward AI-powered search.

The framework covers Reddit marketing (50k+ monthly views via strategic community engagement), structuring pages so LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini surface them in results, and capturing AI-first buyers before they ever land on a traditional search result page.

This is the new funnel. Worth understanding now before it gets crowded.

7. 📌 YouTube Shorts: The Untapped Ad Revenue Play @AIWithAshley​

Ashley Nicole generated $16.7k in 12 days using a repurposing strategy most creators ignore.

The process: find trending long-form videos, use AI tools to cut them into high-engagement Shorts, then automate the editing and upload process to scale volume. The key is working smarter with what already performs — not creating from scratch every time.

8. 📌 10 Prompts to Go Viral on Gemini @creatorslop​

A 30-day roadmap to building a video channel using Google's Gemini as your content strategist.

These specific prompts are designed to take you from zero to a viral AI-driven video channel — essentially using a $10k/month strategist for free. If you're building content at scale, this is a shortcut worth bookmarking.

9. 📌 The $20M Ecom Playbook @eCom_Amin​

Amin is giving away 15+ guides built on $20 million in Google and Bing ad spend. Two decades of e-commerce knowledge condensed into actionable breakdowns covering account structure, keyword strategy, and high-level scaling on search platforms.

If you run any kind of paid traffic to product offers, this is required reading.

10. 📌 A Warning on GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) @lilyraynyc​

Not everything shiny is worth chasing. Lily Ray delivers a necessary reality check on AI search tactics that might actually hurt your long-term SEO.

She covers the fundamental connection between traditional SEO and AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation), and the early warning signs that your AI strategy is being flagged by search engines. Worth reading before you go all-in on tactics that look good on paper but carry real risk.

11. 📌 The "69x Easier" AI Indexing Argument @indexsy​

Jacky Chou makes a bold case for the current "Golden Era" of Generative Engine Optimisation. The core argument: ChatGPT indexing happens dramatically faster than traditional Google ranking, the only real question is whether something makes money, and staying on the sidelines during this AI shift is the biggest risk of all.

Make your own call — but understand the argument first.

12. 📌 The $3M "Boring" Ebook System @hasan28d​

Hasanuzzaman Khan breaks down a 5-step process for generating thousands in 72 hours without writing a word yourself.

Source pain points from Reddit (think unglamorous but urgent problems — like snoring). Use ChatGPT for chapter outlines and Claude for the heavy writing. Design your Canva cover like it's an ad asset, because it is. Then publish 3–5 books to find a winner and scale the one that hits.

Simple model. Repeatable. Volume-driven.

13. 📌 100 Landing Pages in a Day: The "30 Agent" System @businessbarista​

This is the one that had me stopping mid-scroll.

Alex Lieberman highlights Cody Schneider's workflow for AI-enabled paid marketing: Perplexity for research, Claude for 40 ad variations, React components for ad creatives. Spend $100 over 3 days to find the cheapest CPC. Then use Strapi + the Claude API to bulk-generate custom landing pages for every winning ad angle.

The quote that says it all: "You're not just hiring me anymore... you're hiring me and the 30 agents behind me."

This is the direction marketing is heading. Fast.

Before you go — something worth flagging

I've just launched Evolution IM — four live sessions every month where you watch me build and test real strategies inside my own IM businesses.

Not a course. Not a recap. The actual live session where the experiment happens for the first time.

Month one is all about traffic and list building — and I've already put money on the table.

Session #1 — Tuesday 3rd March Exit Traffic Network setup, done live. I've purchased the traffic, we launch it together on the webinar and track what happens over the coming sessions.

Session #2 — Coming Sunday AI Traffic Whale — 2,000 buyer-intent clicks for $200 on a vendor deal. Again, live setup on the webinar. Results reported back as they come in.

Sessions 3 and 4 follow the same theme. Members get notified of topics first.

$97/month or $48.50 every two weeks. All sessions recorded. Cancel anytime.

If you want to go deeper than the newsletter and watch these experiments happen live — this is where that happens.

​Join Evolution IM before Session #1 ​

Talk soon,

P.S. The 100-landing-page workflow in item #13 is worth reading twice. That's not a future trend — someone is doing that right now while competitors are still manually building one page at a time. Speed of execution is the edge.
