    We haven't been 100% truthful with you lately. And today we want to come clean.

    Hundreds of you have bought our latest product (the Product Review Profit course we’ve recently released that teaches you how to scale the Amazon Influencer Program) and... most of the content used during the launch was AI created.

    🤖 80-90% of the words used were written by Claude 3.5 Sonnet
    📩 including the sales page AND the sales emails
    💸 convincing enough for people to swipe their credit card

    We created AI content so convincing that it wasn't just undetectable, it also generated 6 figures in revenue in just over a week.

    That’s the proof most content creators never give you when they share their AI system. We had to lie to you so we could see how robust the system was in a real setting with lots of money at stake. (A marketing Turing test, if you will.)

    And in this episode, we'll show you exactly how we did it, plus some other game-changing applications of AI in our business.

  • #344 - 1 Year Since HCU: What’s Working Now
    Aug 27 2024

    🚨 Grab our FREE list of 47 under-the-radar tools that will boost your business 👉 https://ahkr.to/tools-swipe
    ____________________________________________
    Just as we sat down to record our 1-year anniversary of the HCU podcast, Google threw us another curveball... A massive update that's seemingly undoing some of the HCU damage.

    But even with these improvements, many sites are still down 80% in traffic compared to last year. To fully recover, they'd need a 400% increase.

    So the burning question is: What do we do now? 😧

    In this episode, we created an inventory of what's effective today, so you can explore all the options out there and find a strategy to invest your time in now that will yield dividends later down the line.

    We break down real-world examples of businesses thriving with alternative strategies, how we're adapting our own strategy, and our predictions for what will work in the years to come.

    We're talking real businesses, tangible results, and actionable strategies you can start implementing today.

  • #343 - English Teacher Makes 7 Figures without Google
    Aug 12 2024

    Want to learn how to build a repeatable, manageable system to actually make socials generate big bucks for you?

    We’re not talking spamming shitty AI images to boomers on Facebook or Pinterest.
    We’re talking *building a real business that will survive platform changes*, unlike many of the tactics floating around these days.

    In this episode, we chat with Lucy Simkins to reveal how she transformed her side hustle to a 7 figure per year business - in one of the most competitive markets - without relying on Google at all.

    We break down her exact content creation process for achieving incredible reach, unique lead capturing strategies, and exactly what works (and doesn't!) in her sales funnels.
    Lucy was incredibly generous with information throughout the interview, so whether you're learning how to use social to build an email list, or how to monetize it, this episode has something for you.

  • #342 - Best Side Hustle of 2024 (Only 4 Hours A Week)
    Jul 29 2024

    It's no secret that the industry has been struggling for nearly a year now following the HCU. And it's been particularly difficult for beginners to get started, as established sites have been dominating search results.

    So the question everyone’s asking is what future-proof tactics should beginners actually be doing in 2024? (That isn’t spammy or potentially illegal.)

    In this episode, we chat to Jared Bauman, co-host of the Niche Pursuits podcast, about the game-changing way he made an impressive $40k in only a few months, without driving traffic, showing his face, or spending a dime: the Amazon Influencer Program.

  • #341 - New Website Upgrades To Make More Money
    Jul 15 2024

    We've just uncovered tons of tech that site owners should be using to scale their sites WAY better.

    The Authority Hacker site redesign has just been completed, and we've already managed to more than DOUBLE our conversions using some weird new elements that we'll share with you in this week's episode. (A particularly big deal now that Google sends less traffic to websites.)

    We specifically built it to increase engagement based on what we’ve learned from the recent Google leaks, and even used AI to help us in some parts.

    Whether you're also rebuilding some of your sites, or you just want to upgrade your tech, tools and processes, there's something for you in this podcast.

  • #339 - How We Created A Profitable YouTube Channel In Only 3 Months
    Jun 17 2024

    Even if you hate Google, there is no denying that YouTube is probably the best social network to be doing well on.

    We spent a lot of time strategizing and thinking about how to get the most out of the platform while minimizing the drawbacks, and after 4 months our new channel already
    👉 outperforms our 6-year-old YouTube channel
    👉 outperforms videos of many competitors that have hundreds of thousands of subscribers
    👉 is profitable, even though we have a team doing a lot of the heavy lifting

    In this week's episode, we reveal everything we’ve done AND the complete outsourced production process that we’ve built for this new channel, so you can do the same.
