IF YOU'RE CREATING CONTENT, BUT FEELING INVISIBLE
You're putting out blog posts, newsletters, and resources and they're not getting found. Here's the thing: the game has changed and most creators haven't caught up yet.
AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity are now the first place a lot of people go for answers. If your content isn't structured to show up there, it's not showing up at all.
Live Workshop
How to Get Found in AI Search

The 30-Minute Landing Page: Build & Publish with AI
This whole thing started by accident. I was doing a hot seat audit for a Creator's MBA Lab member, asked Claude to show me two positioning angles for her offer — and it didn't just give me copy. It built two complete, fully designed sales pages. Side by side.
I couldn't believe what I saw and then started creating ones for myself: Sales pages, opt-in pages, registration pages — each one in about 20–30 minutes from idea to live URL. No page builder required.
I recorded the whole process live. You watch over my shoulder as I go from blank prompt to published URL — then you use the included Landing Page Prompt Guide to do it yourself.

🔍 THIS WEEK'S DEEP DIVE
Most business owners are stuck in the same cycle (no judgment here).
Build a product. Do the launch. Get a rush of sales. Watch it slow down. Plan the next launch. Repeat.
It's exhausting. And it's completely dependent on your ability to manufacture momentum on demand.
Here's what's interesting about James Clear...before 25 million copies sold, before the keynote stages, before any of it, he was just a guy writing two articles a week on his website. Starting in 2012. No viral moment. No big launch. Just consistent output, compounding over time.
250+ articles before the breakthrough.
That small, repeatable habit turned into 10M+ monthly website visitors and 3M+ email subscribers and that is what made the book launch work. The audience was already there. Already trusted him. Because he'd been showing up every single week.
The lesson isn't "write two articles a week." The lesson is that the compounding habit cycle beats the launch cycle, every time.
Here's how it applies to your growth flywheel:
Every stage of your business has a 1% habit that compounds. You don't need to do all of them. You need to find where your flywheel is weakest right now and apply consistent, small effort there — until momentum builds and the whole thing starts turning on its own.
Creator Growth Flywheel
Applying the 1% rule to each stage
01
Attract
Growing your audience
You don't need a viral moment. You need a repeatable habit that shows up in front of the right people — every week, same day, same format. Familiarity breeds trust before anyone buys.
→ Publish one piece of content per week on a single platform
02
Engage
Starting real conversations
Most creators set up a welcome sequence, then go silent until the next launch. That's broadcasting — not engagement. Ask one question. Reply to replies. Small interactions compound into a community.
→ Add one genuine question to every email or post you publish
03
Nurture
Building trust over time
Trust isn't built in a webinar or one great sales email. It's built through repeated exposure to your thinking and teaching. Every useful piece of content is a deposit in a trust account.
→ Share one insight or lesson that teaches before it sells
04
Retain
Keeping customers after the sale
This is where most digital product businesses quietly lose money. A buyer joins, you never follow up, they drift and cancel. Small, consistent post-sale touchpoints turn buyers into long-term customers.
→ Send one retention-focused message per month to active members
05
Advocate
Turning customers into marketers
Most creators wait passively for word-of-mouth. Referrals compound when you make them easy — the right ask at the right moment, sharing a student win, making it frictionless for someone to spread the word.
→ Request one testimonial or share one customer win every week
Getting 1% better every single day doesn't feel like much in the moment. But over a year, those improvements compound to a nearly 38x improvement!
The same principle applies to publishing one newsletter, recording one podcast episode, writing one article...done consistently, week after week.

That's it for this Sunday.
Here's the one thing I'd ask you to take away: you don't need a new strategy this week. You need to find the one stage of your flywheel that's leaking the most — and do one small thing there. Consistently. That's it.
If you want help figuring out exactly where your biggest bottleneck is, that's what we do inside the Creator's MBA Lab every single month. The door's open whenever you're ready.

P.S. — I've been sitting on this for a while and I'm finally putting it out there.
Most AI educators are talking to people like us: online business owners, course creators, marketers who already know who already know what AI is and have been using it for years.
But step outside that bubble for a second.
The average consumer? Curious about AI. A little nervous. And almost nobody is teaching them in a language they actually understand. They're not looking for the enterprise version of this conversation, they want someone approachable to show them where to start.
That gap is wide open.
And it's not just hobbyists. It's home cooks, fitness enthusiasts, gardeners, parents, retirees learning new skills. Millions of people actively investing in themselves right now with almost zero AI education aimed at them.
If you've been looking for a new audience to take your AI knowledge to...one that's ready, engaged, and not yet saturated with competitors, this market is worth paying attention to.
This is actually one of my specialties, helping creators pivot, explore new markets, and find the audiences that are just waiting for someone like them to show up. If you're curious about what that could look like for your business, just reply to this email. I'm happy to think through it with you. HobbyScool, my B2C brand, is hosting the Creative Tech Summer Retreat, July 21–23 — a free online event for creative makers. It's a low-stakes way to test this audience and see if there's a fit for something bigger.
