<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
LinkedIn has quickly become a major source in AI search. From November 2025 to February 2026, it moved from about the 11th most cited domain on ChatGPT to around 5th. Growth is driven largely by UGC. Posts, articles, and newsletters now account for nearly 35% of LinkedIn citations, up from about 27%. AI systems are increasingly indexing this publishing layer, giving individuals and companies more opportunity to expand visibility and credibility by sharing expertise on the platform.

Anthropic's Labor Market Impacts report ranked marketing specialists fifth among 800 occupations most exposed to AI displacement. The vulnerability extends well beyond content creation to research, segmentation, brand strategy, and competitive analysis. This type of work makes up roughly 80% of what marketers do. US marketing job postings fell 7% YoY in Q2 2025, salaries stayed flat in real terms, and hiring of younger workers in exposed roles dropped 14% versus 2022.

<strong>A Definitive Guide to Video Hooks (1 minute read)</strong>
</span>
</a>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
Strong social media videos rely on 3 hooks in the first few seconds to capture attention. Start with a text on screen hook that quickly signals what the video will cover, often through a question or cliffhanger. Pair it with a concise spoken hook that includes key words and delivers the message immediately, since viewers decide quickly whether to keep watching. Add a visual hook through movement or editing, such as zooms, transitions, or dynamic framing, to create curiosity and keep the viewer engaged.

<strong>Why Replying to Google Reviews is One of the Highest-ROI Things You Can Do (6 minute read)</strong>

<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
88% of consumers are more likely to choose businesses that respond to all reviews and those businesses earning 35% more revenue than average. Consumers also spend up to 49% more at businesses that engage with feedback, and a one-star rating improvement can translate to a 5-9% revenue lift according to Harvard research. With 89% of consumers now expecting responses and 50% put off by templated replies, personalized and timely engagement has shifted from a nice-to-have to a baseline expectation, especially for small businesses.

<strong>Our marketing team is moving to GitHub (1 minute read)</strong>
</span>
</a>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
The Head of Marketing at BizMachine moved the team's marketing infrastructure from Google Drive to GitHub because their AI-driven workflows had grown too complex for a shared drive. The team manages numerous AI agents, skills, context files, and automations that require reliable collaboration and change tracking. Google Drive lacked version control and structured review, making it difficult to manage updates as the team grew. GitHub provides version history, pull requests, and testing branches, allowing workflows to be updated and tested safely, similar to how engineering teams manage shared infrastructure.

<strong>When people are most likely to switch brands (4 minute read)</strong>
</span>
</a>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
Consumers are most likely to switch brands after they gain some experience in a product category but before they become experts. Analysis of 3.7 million product reviews across nearly 30 years showed that confidence follows an inverted U pattern as experience grows. People were 4.5% more likely to switch makeup brands after reviewing 2 to 10 products, and 54% of people who switched never returned. The research shows that prompting customers to reflect on product quality or benefits can increase confidence and reduce switching.

<strong>Checking an LLM's work is a systemic, not an individual, problem (4 minute read)</strong>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
LLMs increase output speed but weaken problem definition when teams skip critique and rely on AI-generated prototypes. Tools like ChatGPT spread quickly because they fit workflows that reward speed and visible activity instead of real progress. AI can generate code or designs in seconds, but the output is statistically average and cannot signal when it fails. Humans must review every result, and constant checking increases mental fatigue and burnout. The typical AI prototype workflow lacks a structured design critique, where people question the purpose of a design, examine why decisions were made, and test whether the solution actually solves the user's problem.

<strong>How I stopped boring people with my content (3 minute read)</strong>
</span>

<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
To make content compelling, focus on finding a specific angle rather than just covering a topic. Avoid βeveryday anglesβ that are common statements your audience has seen many times. Instead, create a βpayday angleβ by identifying a specific problem your audience faces, uncovering an unexpected or counterintuitive truth about it, and presenting a better path forward. This requires customer research and listening to sales calls. A strong payday angle interrupts expectations and provides insight competitors aren't offering, ensuring your work is noticed.
