Good Morning!
Free things? In this economy?? Yes - sign up for my workshop this Wednesday to learn how I drove 2X qualified leads with just 5 mins of setup. Let’s lock in before Q2 ends!
What You Missed This Week:
1. ☁️ OpenAI is Available on AWS After Ending its Exclusivity With Microsoft
Just one day after OpenAI revamped its relationship with Microsoft to end its cloud exclusivity, the AI company is making its models available via Amazon Web Services. AWS customers can experiment with OpenAI’s models as well as its Codex agent for writing code, all through Amazon Bedrock. (CNBC)
2. 💸 Are you currently spending on Meta and/or Google ads?
You're probably leaving tons of ROI on the table by not:
1. Making your ads more pain-point driven
2. Structuring your ad campaigns for true scale
3. Optimizing the post-click experience (because people will spend 5X more time consuming your landing page than your ad)
… well, that's exactly what my team and I do at Max's Media Buyers to the tune of $100,000,000+ in attributable ad revenue generated through profitable ad funnels. Let us audit your account and see just how much money your current ad person/team is leaving on the table.
3. 💓 Lovable Launched its Vibe-Coding App
Apple’s recent crackdown on vibe-coding apps apparently hasn’t stopped vibe-coding startup Lovable. The company just launched its no-code AI app builder as a mobile app on iOS and Android, allowing app builders to code on the go via voice or text AI prompts. (TechCrunch)
4. 🇪🇺 E.U.-Made Cars & Trucks Are Getting a Tariff Bump to 25%
If you’re thinking of buying a European car, you might wanna do it soon. Trade deal woes between the U.S. and European Union might be leading to a tariff increase on imported cars and trucks to 25%. Brands that would be hit hardest include Mercedes, BMW, and Volkswagen with Stellantis’ Alfa Romeo, Fiat, and Maserati vehicles also significantly affected. (Quartz)
5. 📈 Rank Where Buyers Search These Days (ChatGPT, Claude & More)
Most SEO agencies are still stuck optimizing for Google rankings… while your buyers are already searching inside tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Ranked is built for what actually matters now.
We use them ourselves, and the results speak for themselves:
SEO/AEO software & service — It covers everything you'd get with SEMRush, Ahrefs or Profound at a fraction of the cost. Track as many keywords as you want on all AI search engines, Ranked AI will get you ranked on them for you.
Managed for you — you won't have to do it yourself, it's a full service, embedded into software with a focus on AI search.
No crazy contracts — all plans are month-to-month, starting at just $99/month
I know what you’re thinking: “$99? Is it a scam?” Nope.
Just a team that figured out how to make SEO actually affordable and effective. They have over 5,000 active clients for a rason... mostly for agencies that white-label them. So cut the middleman and go straight to the source!
6. 🤯 Anthropic Might Raise a New $50Bn Round at $900Bn Valuation
Claude’s parents might be getting richer. The maker of the AI assistant has reportedly received multiple preemptive offers to raise fresh capital of around $50 billion at a valuation in the $850 billion to $900 billion range. The company is expected to make a definitive decision on the round and its valuation at a board meeting in May. (TechCrunch)
