@AlexLathery Which business models would you opt for? Have you ever tried to enter a growth partner paid by the percentage?

This is the "perfect" business model on paper
I spent $10,000 or so pursuing it and it is NOT anything like what it was
Here's why:
1. Google has shifted so heavily towards GBPs that you will simply get no lead volume if you don't have one.
It's also incredibly difficult to get GBPs verified without being present and having a real address.
Lead volume in my experience in the niche industries and areas rank and rent pushes for is closer to 1-2 organic leads per month off of organic SEO alone and that's usually not enough to warrant any deal with an operator.
2. SEO takes time, so you either front load all of the effort in an area that you don't know it will work out for (because there's no good operators to partner with, or because lead volume won't be enough)
Or
You start running ads and this becomes a very cash heavy up front investment, not a passive lead generation play
3. So many people over the last 5 years have gone into this business model. Most contractors have partnered with or have been called by half a dozen lead aggregators at this point.
Many of them take your leads and string you along before running off as soon as you want money.
4. It is genuinely challenging to find an operator who is honest, does good work, and can actually sell the leads you give them.
You'll burn through 5-10 easily before finding a decent operator.
You won't truly know if they can sell either until you give them leads.
I still have one partnership in place and it is entirely passive, but it is nowhere near the promise of the business model on paper and it will take me so long to pay off the idiot tax I spent pursuing this years back.
Most of the people I know or see who have stories like the one below got in years ago when you could spin up sites, GBPs, and rank with almost no work.
They've been sitting on partnerships and deals that are passive and they are not in the game trying to build them from scratch in 2026.

This guy had never made a dollar online until... He sent one text. 20 minutes later he had $6,000 wired into his bank account. Six years later he runs a business doing $104,000 a month with almost no overhead. He works an hour or two a day. He has clients that have paid him every single month for five years and he hasn't spoken to them once since the deal closed. One client pays him $600 a month and has for five years straight. Kyle has maybe talked to him five times total. His company overhead is maybe $5,000 a month on $100,000 in revenue. Individual sites cost $25 a month to run. What is it? Website landlord. He builds basic local SEO sites for niches like junk removal or auto glass repair in specific cities, gets them to rank on Page 1, then rents out the lead flow to local business owners for a flat monthly fee. The craziest part is he gives prospects a free week of leads before they pay him anything. Kyle breaks down: - How he finds supply and demand gaps using basic SEO tools - His exact script for closing deals in one phone call - Why this is 1000 times more passive than real estate - What niches are still wide open - How one guy makes $90K a month just doing spray foam insulation leads I don't use the "p" word lightly... But there's parts of this that are definitely passive. Check it out!

@nifinet @512banque Salut Nicolas , je ne peux pas te dm . Je serais ravis d’échanger sur le sujet .
Français
La cible ce sont des pro du BTPs & des particuliers qui ont besoin de devis.
Dans le premier cas c’est: prospection, qualification lead + planification RDV commerciaux.
La grosse diff c’est que l’IA est infatigable et donc enchaîne les calls. Dans ce genre de secteur le taux de rep est ultra bas. Donc les humains vites découragés. L’autre qui rend le truc possible IMHO c’est que les gens sont « on the go » donc la qualité est tjs merdique. Genre le réseau pas stable en voiture -> les gens s’en rendent pas trop compte. P-e aussi le niveau d’éducation à l’IA.
L’autre cas: c’est traitement des leads entrants: vérification + qualification des besoins. C’est du filtrage avant d’arriver aux « vrais pros ». Donc t’as pas/peu de diff sur la qualité du conseil et c’est aussi un game d’arriver à atteindre la personne. L’IA est injouable la dessus

d'habitude j'adore ce qu'elle raconte mais l'agent vocal EN LIVE c'est la pire idée. je suis un pro IA à mort mais à un moment donné faut se rendre à l'évidence : c'est naze. il suffit de regarder les réponses pour se rendre compte que c'est pas encore mûr. peut-être dans 1 ou 2 ans ?
mais même ça, ça résoudra pas le fait que les gens veulent parler à un humain et que l'entreprise MENT en leur foutant un robot en front. compliqué de démarrer une relation business sur cette base.

One of the most overlooked AI opportunities in the next 24 months is voice agents for boring businesses. Every HVAC, plumbing, and pest control company in America is sending calls to voicemail after 5pm. One AI voice agent fixes it overnight. Most owners have never even heard of this technology, yet alone know how to implement it. The person who packages this up and sells it to 500 of them is going to be very rich...very quietly.

Everyone is using Claude for Meta ads right now.
Very few founders are using it to extract data-backed angles that actually scale.
Which is why I built a resource with the exact Meta Angle OS Claude Prompt I use to build $1M/mo creative systems...
Most brands are using AI to come up with ideas, but it's trained on absolutely nothing, so it just spits out low-effort "AI slop" that fatigues in 3 days.
This prompt automatically analyzes your Amazon reviews, Reddit threads, and post-purchase surveys to extract the deep psychological triggers your buyers care about.
So that you get the exact personas, angles, and hooks you need to scale past $1M/mo.
It gets the founder out of the daily execution weeds and stops you from throwing spaghetti at the wall.
It's yours now if you:
Comment "angle" and I'll send it over.
(You need to be following so I can DM it to you.)

I built a zero-person AI newsletter business that did $2,000+ in revenue last month.
No team. No payroll. No freelancers.
Just 4 AI agents running the entire operation (and I spend less than 4 hours a week on it).
Here's how the system works:
→ A CEO agent sets the vision and orchestrates every hire
→ A Growth Engineer scrapes local news, Reddit, and event venues into a daily JSON database
→ A Content Director reads that database, curates the best events, and writes every Thursday newsletter in my voice
→ A Sales Director fields every ad lead, generates ad creative with nano banana, and closes deals over email
→ All orchestrated through Paperclip AI & powered by Claude Code
Spokane Pulse (my local newsletter) now has 6,662 subscribers and a 47.5% open rate, almost double the industry average.
Local newsletters are quietly printing money. Naptown Scoop does $320K/year. Wichita Life clears six figures. The model is wide open in almost every city, especially when building it in an AI-native way.
If you want the full blueprint and step-by-step walkthrough video, Like, RT, and comment "PULSE" (must be following so I can dm you)
I'll send you the exact Paperclip AI company export I use to run Spokane Pulse. You can clone it, swap in your city, and ship.

I just vibe coded a Meta Ads creative analytics tool in Claude Code 🤯
It plugs into your ad accounts, AI-analyzes every creative you've ever run, and tells you exactly what's working, what isn't, and WHY.
Built 100% in Claude Code.
Perfect for DTC brands and creative agencies who are sick of staring at Ads Manager trying to reverse-engineer why one ad scaled and another tanked.
If you're pulling weekly reports that show you spend, ROAS, CTR, and hook rate but never tell you WHY any of it is happening — and you're stuck watching videos one by one, guessing at angles, and making kill/scale calls on gut feel...
This tool runs the entire loop for you:
→ Connect your Meta ad accounts in one click
→ AI watches every video and analyzes every static
→ Auto-labels each ad by asset type, messaging angle, hook tactic, and funnel stage
→ Win rate analysis broken down by every category
→ Kill/scale recommendations segmented by TOF, MOF, and BOF
→ AI-generated iteration recommendations for every underperformer
No manual video watching.
No guessing at what's working.
No spreadsheets to track creative performance.
What you get:
- A full creative analytics dashboard pulling live from your accounts
- AI classification on every ad you've ever run
- Iteration priorities ranked by ads with real spend behind them
- Weekly reports surfacing top and bottom performers with AI insights
Built 100% in Claude Code as a real tool, not a one-off script.
I recorded a full walkthrough showing exactly how this works and what every feature does, including ALL the prompts I used so you can build it yourself.

RIP landing page designers 🤯
I just built a system in Claude Code that clones any high-converting Meta advertorial in minutes and rebuilds it for your brand.
Find a presell page that's been scaling on Meta for months → feed the URL to Claude Code → get back a production-ready page with your product, your copy, your angles.
Built 100% in Claude Code.
Perfect for DTC brands and creative agencies who need to test multiple advertorial angles on Meta but don't have the budget or runway for a freelancer cycle on every one.
If you've found a presell page that's clearly working, watched it run for weeks, and known you should be testing your own version — but the path to actually shipping it means briefing a designer, waiting on copy, getting back something off-brand, and burning two weeks before you can send a single click to it...
This system runs the entire loop for you:
→ Find an advertorial that's been scaling on Meta
→ Drop the URL into Claude Code
→ Claude extracts the exact DR framework powering the page
→ Swaps in your brand details, product, audience, and mechanism
→ One-shots a complete HTML page following the same proven structure
→ Paste into Shopify and you're live
No designer back-and-forth.
No copywriter turnaround.
No starting from scratch every time.
What you get:
- The exact advertorial structure that's already converting on Meta, rebuilt for your brand
- Full HTML page ready to import in 60 seconds
- Copy that hits every DR beat — authority, pain escalation, root cause reframe, social proof, offer
- A repeatable system to spin out new angles whenever a hypothesis hits
The advertorials scaling hardest on Meta all follow the same formula. This just lets you use it.
I put together a full guide showing the exact process — how to find winning pages, extract the structure, and build your own in Claude Code.

Jeff Bezos just told you exactly how to price AI.
Nobody listened.
Bezos: “AI is real and it is going to change every industry. In fact it’s a very unusual technology in that regard in that it’s a horizontal enabling layer.”
Horizontal enabling layer.
Three words that reprice the entire technology sector.
The iPhone was a vertical. One product. One new market.
Electricity was a horizontal. One substrate that rewired every market on Earth.
Wall Street is pricing AI like it is the next iPhone. Bezos is telling you it is the next electrical grid.
Right now, thousands of companies are trying to sell AI as a product.
A feature. A tool. A subscription tier.
Every single one of them will be priced to zero.
You do not sell a horizontal layer. You do not compete with it. You build on top of it or you disappear beneath it.
For a century, entire industries survived on one thing. Complexity.
The friction of navigating law, medicine, logistics, finance. That was the moat. If you could not memorize the maze, you could not compete.
A horizontal layer does not navigate the maze. It dissolves the walls.
Electricity did not compete with the candle industry. It erased the need for one.
The most dangerous part of a horizontal shift is how quiet it is. It moves underneath the economy. The surface looks normal. Revenue still holds.
Every day you operate on the old substrate, you accumulate a debt you cannot see and cannot repay.
The internet repriced distribution. AI is repricing cognition itself.
When intelligence becomes a utility that runs through the walls of every company on Earth, the premium on human expertise does not erode. It evaporates.
This is not a disruption. Disruptions replace products.
This replaces the ground you are standing on.

After taking dozens of apps to #1 in the App Store, our team went back and analyzed over 100,000 social media posts to trace back what worked
We found 34 hooks that brought in 100's of millions of views and more than 300 others proven to go viral..
and turned all of that into templates you can steal for free
If you run a consumer app and want:
- more installs
- higher App Store rankings
- content that lands with Gen Z
Comment “HOOKS” and I’ll DM you the file.

Personnellement je donnerai le conseil inverse à l'ère de l'IA. Si tu as des compétences transverses, tu peux avoir une vision d'ensemble et gérer/comprendre un projet tout seul.
Un pur dev sans goût pour le design ni compétence en marketing, ne fera rien. Et un marketeur sans compétence technique ne fera rien non plus.

Spécialisez vous, y'a pas d'argent à faire quand vous êtes généralistes, que ce soit les réseaux ou ailleurs les gens vous suivent car ils veulent apprendre quelque chose, ils follow pour de la plus value
En business c'est pareil, si vous êtes pas intouchable dans votre domaine pourquoi je bosserais avec vous?
Le savoir n'est plus gatekeeped car avec internet, les IA etc ça n'a jamais été aussi facile de networker et toucher les bonnes personnes

Se spécialiser aujourd'hui, c'est choisir de concurrencer directement les machines sur leur propre terrain.
