Here's an AI tool I built based on Travis Sago's Triangle of Insight. If you have the time, give it a spin and let me know what you think. I'll pretty it up with some CSS in V2. The Sago Triangle of Insight Assistant I'm exploring ways pain-point specific AI tools like this could be created and licensed out to plug into other people's offer flows (for lead gen) and embed on sites to boost domain value and traffic. Just about any PDF lead magnet can be transformed into an engaging tool (free value) with a CTA at the end. Much more enticing these days.

Whether you're a content creator, a curious reader, or just someone who spends way too much time online (aren't we all?), understanding content sites can be pretty useful. So, what exactly are content sites? Think of them as the internet's libraries, newspapers, and magazines all rolled into one. They're websites that focus on delivering valuable information, articles, news, or other forms of content to their audience. You've probably visited tons of them without even realizing it! Types of Content Sites: 1. News websites (for when you need to know what's happening in the world) 2. Blogs (personal or professional insights on literally anything) 3. Online magazines (curated content on niche subjects) 4. Educational platforms (for when you want to learn something new) 5. Entertainment sites (because we all need a good laugh or distraction sometimes) What makes content sites tick? - They use different content formats: articles, videos, infographics, podcasts, you name it! - They update regularly to keep you coming back for more - They encourage user engagement (ever left a comment on an article? That's what we're talking about) - They're usually pretty good at SEO (that's why they pop up when you Google stuff) How do they make money? Content sites aren't just doing this for fun (well, some are, but most want to pay the bills). They use strategies like: - Advertising (those annoying but necessary ads) - Affiliate marketing (ever clicked on a product link in an article?) - Subscriptions (for that sweet, sweet premium content) - Digital products (ebooks, courses, etc.) - Sponsored content (when brands pay for articles or videos) Why are content sites awesome? 1. They build audiences and communities 2. They can establish authority on topics 3. They have potential for passive income 4. They're scalable and flexible But it's not all sunshine and rainbows. Content sites face challenges like: - The never-ending need for fresh content - Fierce competition (there are A LOT of sites out there)

Wheather you're looking to buy or sell a website, choosing the right broker can make a huge difference. Here's my rundown of the best options out there: 1. Empire Flippers: These guys are the big dogs in the industry. They've sold over $380 million in websites and have a 77% success rate. They're great for sites worth over $100k, but they do take a 15% commission for sites under $700k. Pro tip: They send out new listings every Monday at 10 AM PST. I sold a six figure website on Empire Flippers. 2. Flippa: This is the largest non-vetted marketplace. It's great for smaller sites and beginners, but be careful and do your due diligence. I sold a website on Flippa. 3. FE International: These folks specialize in bigger deals, usually $1 million+. They've been around since 2010 and have a 94.1% success rate. They're pros at selling SaaS, content, and eCommerce sites. I have sold with them. 4. Investors Club: This is a newer player (launched in 2020) but they're making waves. They offer zero buyer fees, free legal docs, and a cool 24-point due diligence report for paid members. I helped set up the process for what became Investors Club after selling Flipping Websites to Andrej, who then sold to @Elena Buetler. 5. Quiet Light: These guys have been around since 2006 and have sold over $300 million in websites. What's unique is they hire staff with entrepreneurial backgrounds who've actually bought or sold websites themselves. I once interviewed the founder Mark Daoust on a Flipping Websites podcast. 6. Motion Invest: Good for smaller content sites under $30k. They even do Dutch-style auctions where the price drops until someone bites. Have interviewed both the founders on previous podcasts and been on Spencer's Niche Pursuits podcast. 7. Website Closers: These folks focus on tech and internet businesses. They've got a team with deep industry knowledge. Have no relationship. Pros of using a broker: - They handle the vetting process - They often provide escrow services

Website investing is buying existing websites to make money. I previously built and sold the Website Investing publication (a top 100 category Substack newsletter) and had a podcast on the topic. Here's my TLDR: With buying websites you can: - Generate passive income from the site's revenue - Improve how the site makes money - Grow the site's traffic and value - Flip the site for a higher price Main Strategies: 1. Buy and Hold: Keep the site long-term for steady income 2. Website Flipping: Buy, improve, and sell for profit Types of Websites to Invest In: - Content/niche websites - E-commerce stores - SaaS (Software as a Service) businesses - Affiliate marketing sites - Lead generation websites Benefits: - Passive Income: Steady monthly cash flow - Low Barrier to Entry: Often cheaper than traditional investments - Scalability: Potential for big growth without big costs - Flexibility: Manage from anywhere with internet - Diverse Opportunities: Tons of niches to explore - Multiple Exit Strategies: Keep for income or sell for profit Risks and Stuff to Consider: - Due Diligence: Gotta research to avoid scams - Market Volatility: Online businesses can be affected by algorithm changes - Technical Knowledge: Some digital marketing and web tech know-how helps - Time Investment: Might need active management How to Start: 1. Figure out your goals and budget 2. Research website business models and niches 3. Learn about website valuation and due diligence 4. Check out website marketplaces (like Flippa or Empire Flippers) 5. Do thorough research on potential buys 6. Purchase a website and start improving it 7. Either keep it for income or prep for resale Some investors report 20-40% annual ROI or higher, but it takes work. You need to research, plan, and often put in effort to grow the sites.

Cuppa AI is this all-in-one AI-powered content marketing suite that's supposed to help you create SEO-optimized content in minutes, and at a fraction of the cost of other tools such as Brandwell. Here's what I found interesting: 1. It's a "Bring Your Own Keys" (BYOK) platform. This means you use your own API keys from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Perplexity. The upside? No sneaky upcharges on token usage when generating content. 2. They claim to create content in 33 languages and for over 100 different countries. That's pretty impressive if it works well. 3. The platform has a 5-step setup process that includes setting up knowledge bases and brand voice. This could be great for maintaining consistency across your content. 4. They have a "Power Editor" with built-in SEO features that they say rivals tools like Surfer and Frase. It even lets you research with Wikipedia, Google, Reddit, and Amazon while you're editing. 5. Cuppa AI supports various content types - articles, buyer's guides, social posts, and newsletters. So it's not just for blog posts. 6. They claim it costs about 5 cents per 1,000 words using their AI. Looking at my Open AI usage, I actually think it's less! Has anyone here actually used Cuppa AI? I'd love to hear about your experiences, especially regarding the quality of the AI-generated content and how much editing it actually needs. Also, if you've used other AI content tools, how does Cuppa AI compare? Is it worth the hype?
