If you are building websites with AI, check this before you publish.

Right click your page and choose View Page Source. If your text and links are not there, most AI crawlers cannot see them.

Ask your AI builder to render pages as HTML and use standard links.

94% of the YouTube videos AI cited were long form. Shorts got 5.7%.

41% had fewer than 1,000 views.

What they had instead: they taught something, had detailed descriptions and used chapters.

Reminder: Retargeting is the cheapest form of paid marketing.

Create a Meta ads audience of your Instagram and Facebook engagers
Create a Google Ads audience of your website visitors and YouTube viewers
Run Low budget campaigns to bring them back

If you are looking for an AI service to sell that almost nobody is offering yet, start with AI video.

Every business needs to be on YouTube, and most aren't.

And video is now something ONE person can do with AI.

Reply "YouTube" to get the full guide.

Google now gives brands and creators their own profile page in search.

You cannot apply for it. You qualify.

35,000 followers on one platform. YouTube, Instagram, X or TikTok. One of them, not all four.

Before somebody buys, they google your name. This changes what they find.

AI video costs you every time you press generate, and you never get it right first time.

Wrong angle. Then the face changes. Then the light does not match.

Ten tries later: one usable clip, a lot less credit.

Everyone tells you to start by copying your competitors' hooks.

Wrong order.

Write 20 posts for one person you can picture. That is how you find out what you sound like and who actually shows up.

Then go and look at the competition.

Every week somebody emails me asking which AI skill to learn from scratch after a layoff.

My answer disappoints them.

You spent twenty years learning one industry. Point AI at that instead of starting again from zero.

Being new at something is not an advantage.

[Alex Chris @ReliablesoftNet]

Last week I asked my 70,000 email subscribers what they want to see next.

Top answer: what AI services can I sell to clients?

The easiest way to make money with AI is not to sell AI.

Sell the same services they bought last year, delivered faster and better.

Harvard Business School is selling a $699 course taught by AI avatars of its own instructors.

Built with HeyGen.

You don't need a camera. You need a good script and something worth teaching.

Your excuse just expired.

Your competitors' 1-star reviews are the cheapest market research you'll ever get.

This is the task clients pay the most for. And it's a copy-paste play.
