    Joe Youngblood - SEO, Futurology, AI, Marketing (@YoungbloodJoe) reported

    @TheDataHubX @brivael Oh this is fun, here is mine: CJ Netmall (an ecommerce store with 'everything' via affiliate links from Amazon, LinkShare, etc...), I thought I could beat Amazon to their market expansion using their products + products from other stores by building an amalgam. - 1996 Jump Start (a 'start page' website with email login embeds, stock ticker, news ticker, etc...), I thought I could blend the best of all the big sites/services at the time on one page, but it wasn't able to be personalized because I used Tripod and didn't have a credit card to buy a domain or get hosting - 1998 [Name Redacted] (A 'fashion brand' generated by using Cafepress' iron transfer system. Sold raunchy jokes on t-shirts.) I wasn't very proud of this so when I went back to college to get my degree closed it down though we did get minor distribution throughout the Midwest. We also purchased a domain for a trucker hat brand which would probably be really popular today - 2000 Etown Underground / Forums (A couple of new media properties for my hometown of Emporia, KS. A print + digital magazine sponsored by Staples (seriously) and a web forum for citizens to talk about issues), The forum was spamme to hell and the magazine lost advertisers pretty quickly rendering it useless - 2002 Radio Revolt (a streaming internet rock station that mixed new indie music with mainstream and classic rock) - 2003 MMO Market (the first and only place where WoW players could buy and sell virtual items.), I made a grand total of like $5 from running it. Covered by most major gaming/tech media. - 2004 Dollar DBs (we scraped data from the web and sold each database in MYSQL format for $1 in an ecommerce store), It was doing great until it was hacked and I just shut it down. - 2005 1337Talk (a L33t Speak translator apparently used by teenagers and drug dealers.), The goal was harmless fun conversations for gamers. It was featured in CNN and other places for uses I did not intended. I stopped updating it and shut it down. - 2006 GamersTube (The world's first cross-compatible video sharing UGC site built for the needs of gamers with a focus on high quality video playback and a roadmap to live streaming), I tried to get investors at SXSW to believe in the concept of a live streaming site like UStream, Mogulus/LiveStream, and Justin TV + an On Demand site like YouTube built for the needs of gamers to host both long-form Machinima content and streaming eSports matches in high definition. They all said it was ridiculous. I believed in the long-term movement of video based entertainment from OTA and cable to the web-based distribution considering the gaming market to be at least a billion dollar industry alone. Google banned our Blogger blog for "spam" after it was uncovered that we had a revenue program before YouTube and also banned us from Adsense after changing the TOS to specifically forbid our website. Either an example of Convergent Evolution or something else, Twitch built nearly every single feature we built or envisioned including "Pwning", tips, and clipping just years and years later - 2006 Classified Ads Free / Kollege Ads (A network of classified ads websites that were free but made money via advertising networks.), I thought Craigslist was due for being disrupted but learned to leave the gray monster alone. We suffered a never ending and impossible to avoid barrage of spam / phishing listings and ultimate major web gatekeepers killed off traffic to our network (rightfully so) - 2007 AD FUND [never built] (With a college friend who works for a major tech company now as a higher up Senior dev, this project was designed to make it so you could sell small shares of access to your business online based on your revenue or traffic etc... and develop a secondary market for those shares.) The goal was to allow small sites/apps to get the sort of investment only big public corps or those in major VC hubs could get. My friend and partner called an SEC lawyer who told him it was illegal and we could go to prison so he quit and I am not good/smart enough to build something like that alone - 2007 ARS DFW (An art, music, events, and lifestyle blog for Dallas - Fort Worth), I built this using WordPress along with custom Javascript maps to help DFW residents find things to do like cheap drink nights or karaoke nights. IIRC the WordPress site was hacked and I just closed it down even though I still had the JS code - 2010 Nutrition Maps [launched but never adopted] (An XML based language for websites to publish nutrition data, similar to a sitemap, allowing consumer applications to easily find and use the data), I had an interested investor tell me there was no way to make money on this. SmartLabel launched in 2015 - 2011 Rent in Reverse [never launched] (Put renting consumers in the driver's seat by allowing landlords / leasing agents to bid on their target consumers by submitting offers that matched query.) I had worked in rental leasing marketing for a few years and noticed how insanely stressful it was on consumers to find a place and thought it would be great if places could bid on them. Dev partner for this project who I later found out is a cousin of a friend of mine literally moved in the middle of it to Pittsburgh and just stopped. Zillow would launch "renter profiles" 4-years later. - 2012 My New Office [only made Beta] (A website that allowed commercial landlords to post their vacancies and what it could be used for). We quickly got users including CBRE but it was just a WordPress shell as POC and I found myself working on building my own marketing agency from scratch after a falling out with my employer so I had to close it down - 2012 PR Hunters [purchased and improved] (Award winning PR software that scraped HARO queries on Twitter that needed to be filled and routed them based on keyword preferences), It was a great tool but died when Cision bought HARO and when Elon bought Twitter. Site is still live and I have plans on redeveloping it some day. - Purchased in 2014 Rocketship [client exclusive] (Our internal SEO / marketing agency software platform), The goal is to catalog all data and communications we can and streamline communications between team members and client stakeholders. - 2021 Ultimasaurus (A Chrome extension with a variety of tools to customize the desktop web including turning off AI Overviews in Google, making search ads take up less space, Eliminating spam on Google Maps, Focus Mode for getting **** done, and turning off Stories on Facebook), I use this daily for my own productivity and plan on rolling out a lot of new updates soon - 2022 Jump Links Shopify App [acquired and improved] (App that improves blogging by adding an automated TOC w/ recommended products for a low cost) - Acquired 2022 Website Announcement Bar [acquired and improved] (A quick, simple, and CWV friendly way of adding a website announcement bar to the top of your website that can be turned on or off at any time) - Acquired 2023 Advanced Spam Filter for Lead Generation [client exclusive] (A wordpress plugin + internal system to block common spammers across client profiles while ensuring 100% of actual leads come through), This solves the problem of clients not getting leads to their inbox because their email provider blacklisted their website domain/ip address. - 2024 ChatGPT Embeds for WordPress (A custom built plugin to allow simple summaries and other embeddable features for blogs/news sites) - 2025 Rocketship SEO (A plugin for WordPress designed to be a next gen toolkit that compliments current main SEO plugins such as Yoast or RankMath includes things like IndexNow, AI vs Human traffic, Redirects, AI Tools, Google Reviews, and more), I believe every website should be able to access the basics without having to pay a premium price, so we built this to do just that for the next generation. - 2025 Subscription System [still in beta but almost completed and live on the ORG] (A WordPress plugin that gives websites 2 major subscription capabilities.) Websites can offer a publication subscription that sends email alerts to users based on their settings and allows this to be a revenue source. And a work/labor subscription system with a work log and pricing tiers. All independent of Woocommerce using Stripe integration (more coming soon) - 2026 There's a lot more I haven't added like a bitcoin site that only posted peoples regrets for selling early, an online browser game called "Jelly Battle", the most popular Gmail forum signature generator (way back in the day), the most popular Free MMORPG gaming blog (made me $$$$), a handful of failed keyword tools, And several Alpha/Beta projects I may never fully launch, etc... I'll keep building until I die, but will probably never equal 1/10th of what Elon has. I was pretty darn close with GamersTube to breakaway life changing wealth though!

    There's a deli two blocks from my office. I've been going there for 12 years. I order the same thing every time. Turkey, provolone, lettuce, tomato, mustard, on rye. Today, the guy behind the counter looked at me. Guy: Can I ask you something? Me: Sure. Guy: Why do you always order this sandwich? Me: Because I like it. Guy: You're the only person who's ever ordered it. Me: What? Guy: In 30 years. You're the only one. Me: How is that possible? Guy: I don't know. But we keep rye bread in stock just for you. Me: Just for me? Guy: Yeah. I didn't know what to say. Me: I can order something else. Guy: No. Don't. We like the consistency. Now I feel obligated to order it forever. --- ## 9. A guy on Craigslist paid me $40 to attend his improv show and heckle him. It went horribly wrong. I needed $40. I saw an ad on Craigslist. "Need someone to heckle me during my improv show. $40. Must be loud." I responded. The guy, Tyler, called me. Tyler: You comfortable yelling in public? Me: Sure. Tyler: Great. Just show up. Sit in the back. When I point at you, yell something mean. Me: Like what? Tyler: Doesn't matter. Just be loud. I showed up. Small theater. Maybe 30 people. Tyler's improv group performed. Fifteen minutes in, Tyler pointed at me. I yelled: You suck! The audience laughed. Tyler: Oh yeah? You think you can do better? Me: Yeah! Tyler: Come up here then! I didn't expect that. Tyler: Come on! Let's see what you got! The audience started chanting. I walked on stage. Tyler handed me a prop. Tyler: You're a detective. I'm a criminal. Go. I froze. I had no idea what to do. Tyler: Come on, detective. Interrogate me. Me: Uh. Where were you on the night of... the thing? The audience laughed. Tyler: What thing? Me: The... crime thing. I was bombing. But people were laughing. Tyler: You're terrible at this! Me: I know! I stayed on stage for ten minutes. At the end, Tyler handed me $60. Tyler: You were hilarious. Me: I thought I was supposed to heckle you. Tyler: You were better as a participant. He asked me to come back next week. I said no. But I'm thinking about it.

    @Grummz If your wife asked you to break down the million dollars you made this year, you probably wouldn't mention the used toaster you sold on Craigslist, because it wouldn't be worth the time. Their gaming revenue is a single used toaster to them now.

    @LifetimeIP @JoelWBerry We bought a lot of our furniture on closeout, at goodwill, off Craigslist, in yard sales, or at BigLots. Now I have single pieces of furniture which costs more than everything totaled in our first house. Our first mattress was a 30yr old hand-me-down from the inlaws that my wife literally actually was conceived on (gross).

    @Ridire_Creachta I promise you it is. Found a motorcycle on Craigslist and scheduled to go drive down that weekend to get it. Parents wouldn’t let me leave the house and said if I did “in their truck” then they would report it stolen and the only way I could leave was if I paid them what I “owed” them.

    The house came with a basement I didn't know about. Realtor never mentioned it, inspector never went down there, and the floor plans showed nothing. I found the door three months after moving in, hidden behind built-in shelving in the kitchen that I'd finally decided to remove. Just a normal wooden door. Unlocked. Stairs leading down into darkness. I grabbed a flashlight and went down. The basement was finished.....drywall, carpet, drop ceiling. Completely normal except for one thing. It was full of my stuff. Not similar stuff. My actual belongings. The couch I'd donated last year. My ex-girlfriend's bookshelf that she'd taken when she moved out. A TV I'd sold on Craigslist three years ago. Even weirder: things I'd lost. My high school class ring. A jacket that vanished from a bar in 2019. My dad's watch that I could've sworn I'd misplaced after his funeral. Everything was arranged like a showroom. Organized by year, it looked like. Oldest stuff near the far wall, recent stuff closer to the stairs. I grabbed the class ring, brought it upstairs. It was real. Solid gold, my initials engraved inside. That night I went back down with my phone, started taking pictures. Posted them online asking if anyone had experienced anything similar. One person responded: "Check the far corner. Behind the oldest items." I went back down. Moved the couch from 2015, the mini-fridge from college. There was another door. Newer than the first, steel reinforced. A sign on it: "KEEP OUT - FUTURE STORAGE" It was locked, but the key was hanging on a hook right next to it. Like someone wanted me to find it. I opened it. The room beyond was filled with things I don't own yet. Furniture I've never seen. Photos of people I don't recognize.....but I'm in them, older, graying at the temples. A wedding album with my name and a woman I've never met. And in the very back, a small box labeled "2043." Inside: an urn with my name on it. I'm thirty-two years old. The urn is dated eighteen years from now. There's an envelope taped to it. I haven't opened it yet. But I can see my own handwriting through the paper: "You can still change this. The door only shows probability, not certainty. But you're running out of time."

    In 2020 a 19 year old wholesaler sold me a house in the hood. I was convinced it was step one of a hundred million dollar real estate portfolio. I had just sold my company, DMO. First time in my life I actually had real money. Couple hundred grand in cash, the rest locked in stock with a restriction on it. I was like... this is it. Time to build a real estate portfolio. I was living in Williamsburg, Brooklyn at the time. Deep in BiggerPockets forums and real estate Twitter. Reading about BRRRR strategy at 2am like it was scripture. The deal was off market. Cobbs Creek, Philly. A 19 year old kid found it, wholesaled it to me, and I thought I was getting the steal of a lifetime. The plan was drive Brooklyn to Philly every weekend during COVID, renovate it in 3 months, flip it, and use the profit to buy two more. Classic BiggerPockets math. For context I cannot build IKEA furniture.... My first contractor was a cop moonlighting as a GC. Seemed legit. Showed up in uniform sometimes. I trusted him completely. He submitted $13,000 in fake lumber receipts. When I fired him he called the city inspector about permits that he had told me we didn't need. We got shut down for 3 months. So now I'm hiring off Craigslist. Everyone's cousin can do electrical. None of them can do electrical themselves. At one point I was standing in a hole in the basement googling "what is a french drain" while two guys I found on the internet watched me. 3 months became 9 months. I went $100k+ over budget + the cash i had paid for the house, i had to take a construction loan to finish it. I had $6M in stock I couldn't touch because it was vesting. And $700 left in my checking account. I sat on the floor of my apartment and cried. The lender would take the house and I would lose everything...$250k+ of my money. One of my best friends Nat lent me $15,000. My sister lent me $10,000. I finished the renovation with borrowed money from people who loved me. Sold the house. Made $2,000~ in profit. Got all my money back out. A friend of mine who actually flips houses for a living said "holy **** you made money? Most people lose their shirt on their first flip." That messed with me.... I thought I had just survived the worst financial experience of my life. Turns out most people have it worse and you never hear about it. The graveyard of failed flips is invisible. You only see the guy on YouTube holding the check. A few months later I bought a hearing aid brand, Blue Angels Hearing. A DTC company already selling online. Sounds random. But I had spent 10+ years growing businesses on the internet. I knew paid acquisition, I knew retention, I knew how to scale a Shopify brand. That was the stuff I was actually good at. We scaled it and flipped it to private equity in 11 months. Made more money in 11 months sitting at my laptop than I did in 18 months of driving to Philly, getting scammed by a cop, and crying on a floor. But I'm not sure I pull off the hearing aid deal without Cobbs Creek. When you're $250K deep in a disaster and there's no plan and no one coming to help, you just... figure it out. One thing at a time. Break the impossible thing into tiny pieces. Chew through it. You'll be someone different on the other side. Sometimes the only way out, is through.

    @KicksKrave @xBitcoin_Teej Then you just lost the right to whine. This is the real difference between your generation and mine: I was willing to buy a car off of Craigslist or even accept a hand me down from family members because I needed to get from point A to point B only.

    We started working with a mobile brake repair company in Cincinnati last year. @DanielG__83 runs it himself -Google, Facebook, and increasingly ChatGPT-driven traffic bringing in leads at all hours. The math was breaking down. He was paying for leads that were going cold because he couldn't respond fast enough. His words: "God forbid a customer texts me at 7 at night and I'm done working for the day. I'm not gonna respond, and by 8 the next morning I'm gonna forget." Plus every lead - high-value brake job or $40 Craigslist tire kicker - took the same amount of his time to qualify. Here's exactly what our AI agent does for him now: When a customer submits a form on his website, texts the business line, or comes in through Google or Facebook ads at literally any hour: - The agent responds within 60 seconds over SMS acknowledging the specific issue - brake pads, rotors, calipers, whatever the customer mentioned - Qualifies the lead: vehicle year/make/model, exact service package, address for the mobile visit, urgency - Filters out tire kickers automatically - price shoppers looking for a $40 Craigslist special never make it to the owner's desk - Books the appointment directly if the lead is ready to go - Delivers a fully-qualified, ready-to-schedule lead sitting on his desk by 8 AM - address, vehicle, package, everything What's happened since: - 25-30 additional jobs booked per month in peak season. All AI. - Start to finish At a $500 average ticket, that's up to $15,000/month in new revenue he wasn't capturing before - His receptionist now pulls a monthly report of every job closed through the AI in dollars - the number is tracked, not estimated - After-hours leads at 10 PM, 11 PM, midnight are handled the moment they come in. - No more forgetting by morning He's not answering tire-kicker texts anymore. That entire category of work is gone from his day Most home service and mobile service operators think their bottleneck is more leads. It usually isn't. It's the leads they already paid for going cold because nobody responded in the 15 minutes that mattered. AI shouldn't replace your judgment on jobs. But there's no reason a $500 brake job should sit unanswered in a text thread overnight because the owner was asleep. @leadtruffle

    @GaryCardone The patterns. I have been in bitcoin since 2009. We would use craigslist to trade. We mapped the cycles We have known for a long time that the $16k–$18k BTC zone is a major protected structure layer. When BTC dominance bleeds back toward the 40% area and the market breaks down, that lower BTC layer becomes the level everyone watches. That is where bags get filled. So when Saylor sold BTC around that zone and people called it tax-loss harvesting, fine. Maybe it was. But that also means he understood exactly where he was selling. That was not a random level. That was the deep structure layer. So the question is fair: Was it only tax-loss harvesting? Or did he, and possibly others, understand the protected layer better than retail realized? Because if someone knows where the deepest liquidity sits, knows where retail gets liquidated, and has enough influence to move sentiment, then every “strategy” becomes a signal. Then a year later, we see another unusual BTC dominance cycle while ETFs are being approved. That does not feel like normal old-cycle behavior. Maybe I am wrong. But if you knew ETFs were coming, and you wanted clients, friends, institutions, and treasury players positioned near the deepest BTC layer before the Wall Street wrapper arrived, that would be a very convenient time for it. Then Bitcoin gets wrapped into the stock market through ETFs, treasury companies, preferred shares, leverage, and institutional products. At that point, Bitcoin can still be decentralized at the protocol layer while the market layer becomes controlled farming infrastructure. Bitcoin is the asset. Retail is the crop. Wall Street is trying to become the farmer.

    I think the trend of minimalism was largely brought about by Apple. However, if you look at American companies like Amazon, their backgrounds and interfaces are actually quite difficult for me as a modern user to accept. But since users accept it, it proves there isn't necessarily a problem, as people continue to buy products there. Another example is the American website Craigslist. It was built in the late 1990s when the internet was just starting out, and its rules and design haven't changed since. I often think they should just give it a complete overhaul, but they don't because they have so many long-term users who are comfortable with it. I'm not sure if you can blame the government for these kinds of things. When a large number of people are already using a service, it becomes very difficult to change. User habit is something that is incredibly hard to break. I suspect it's the same situation in Japan. Those companies might have considered redesigning, but they probably found that even minor changes caused users to complain that "this doesn't work anymore." They either have to change it back or commit to a complete, brand-new replacement. I truly believe it's difficult to move forward simply because of how ingrained these user habits become.
