There has been a bit of chatter about using Substack for traffic and building community. So of course I jumped in because I like to test test test. If you want to check out my substck to get some ideas here is the link https://easyprofitplan.substack.com/ I have seen some videos where people are churning quite a bit of money here is one from Arlan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihUBiSHCka4 Arlan has a great free community you can join it here. https://www.skool.com/yourfirst5k/about?ref=29e6268e50694c05b3211ea049d2e24b Your First 5k

I use Chat Gpt every day. I just exported all my data so it will be interesting to see how big the file would be. I guess as it is sporadical it would be about 2 hours a day but a lot of the time more. How much time do you think you spend on ChatGPT or similar per week? Comment and let me know

1) Google’s “December AI updates” recap (speed + agents + “get-more-done” tools) What happened: Google published a December roundup highlighting new AI capabilities across Gemini, Search, and Google Labs, with a clear theme: faster models plus more “agentic” help for real-world tasks. Why it matters: - This is where big platforms are heading: AI that does the steps, not just answers questions. - More built-in AI features means less tool-hopping for planning, writing, research, and content workflows. Do this (builder move): - Use one “agent” prompt for your weekly content plan: ask it to produce a 7-day plan, scripts, captions, and repurposing angles in one go. - Start treating AI like a workflow assistant: “Plan → Draft → Repurpose → Schedule,” not “one prompt per task.” 2) Google’s December 2025 Core Update rollout is complete (SEO + content visibility shift) What happened: Search Engine Land reported that Google’s December 2025 core update rollout has finished, which can change how content ranks and gets discovered.Why it matters: - If your reach dipped (or jumped), it may not be your content “getting worse”, it can be the algorithm re-weighting signals. - This impacts how your blog posts, landing pages, and evergreen content bring in leads over time. Do this (builder move): - Pick your top 3 pages/posts and improve: headline clarity, first 3 lines, helpful subheads, and add a simple FAQ section. - Ask AI to rewrite your intro for humans (not bots): “Make this more satisfying, direct, and specific for a beginner.” 3) Meta’s move into “AI agents” gets louder with the Manus acquisition news What happened: Reuters reported Meta is acquiring Manus to boost advanced AI features, with plans to integrate it into Meta products (including Meta AI). Why it matters: - Meta is signaling a shift from “chatbots” to “agents” that can execute tasks, which will likely feed into business tools, creator tools, and automation. - This is a preview of what’s coming to everyday marketing: more automated creation, targeting, and campaign workflows inside platforms. - Do this (builder move): - Start documenting your repeatable marketing tasks (posting, DM replies, lead tracking). Those are the first things “agents” will automate. - Build simple SOPs now: “If comment says X → reply Y → DM Z → tag lead.”
