👀 A Case Study Doppelgänger in the Wild

Well, well, well... looks like one of you has been busy putting our case study into action!

While scrolling through my Facebook feed, I came across another tattoo page that looked strikingly familiar. In fact, much of it was nearly identical to our case study page.

My first instinct was to be a little ticked off.

They had simply taken our highest-performing images, used them as seeds in Midjourney, and generated their own "closely inspired" versions. Creativity, apparently, is not their strong suit.

But then my perspective shifted and I started to feel a different emotion.

I felt…proud.

After all, the whole point of this case study was for people to follow along and take action. And that's exactly what this reader did.

In my experience, many people get trapped in a cycle of merely reading about others' online success without taking that crucial first step themselves.

Some, I dare say, become almost addicted to watching others make the money they should be making. They'd rather cheer from the sidelines than step onto the field.

So, to whichever reader created this copycat page: well done! You've taken action where many others haven't.

And you can be sure I'm keeping a close eye on that page. Who knows? I might just "borrow" any successful content they put out.

Fair's fair, after all. 😉

🤖 Case Study #2 Update

Remember in the last issue when I mentioned updating all 118 Monetized Future blog posts with AI images before automating the Pinterest account? Well, the game just changed…

Early this week, Nic Polotnianko dropped a major update to BlogtoPin that's a real game-changer. Users can now upload (or create) AI images to a library for pin covers. Talk about perfect timing!

This update saved me from the mind-numbing task of manually uploading AI images to each post. Countless hours of potential boredom? Poof! Gone.

And here's the kicker: I've now got a full month of pins scheduled for Monetized Future! BlogtoPin made it ridiculously easy. If you've got a website, I highly recommend giving it a shot.

I'm starting with 10 pins per day. It's an aged Pinterest account, but it's been dormant for over a year. Don't want to set off any spam alarms by going too hard, too fast. Plus, my current content count doesn't quite justify more pins than that... yet.

Which brings us to the next exciting phase of this case study...

It's time to supercharge Monetized Future with Pinterest-friendly content. And I mean lots of it!

The goal? Add at least 200 posts to the site in the next few months. Ambitious? Maybe. Doable? Absolutely!

To pull this off, we're bringing in the big guns:

1. TopicalMap AI for a rock-solid content plan

2. A dynamic duo of Claude and Cuppa for content generation

I'm buzzing with excitement, and when that happens, I move fast! So keep your eyes peeled on this case study.

Things are about to get interesting!
