2026 will be the year of authenticity with a comeback of raw and unpolished content like vlogging, real-time updates and personal blogs.

This is the stuff that will work. You don’t need tools, AI, or big budgets. Just something interesting to say.

This is true for people but also for products. Most companies aren’t set up for this. Forward-thinking ones will hire in-house creators great at storytelling.

The best strategy to get attention will be to do things and tell the world about your own unique experience.

Forget Reddit now AI search tools are starting to love LinkedIn. I saw a study made by Spotlight that shows how basically all the main ones are citing content posted on there 5x times more often than before. Makes sense as it’s tied to real profiles and not anonymous sources.

I wasn’t expecting this. According to Similarweb Threads has now more daily active users than X. Anyone knows if there is an active community of founders and marketers on it? The trend looks on the rise. I guess it’s time to give it another try.

If you’re trying to get your first customers your best bet is to do what I call the 5.1 surround.

It’s pretty simple:

- Pick 1 social media platform: concentrate all of your effort on the single channel where your target audience is most active.
- Keep repeating 5 things: post following a content strategy, engage with related conversations, message your ideal customers, partner with relevant influencers and run laser targeted ads.

People will get that “it’s everywhere” effect that will make you top of mind when they need what your product does.

The founder of an early stage startup is looking to hire a marketing generalist to lead growth.

We were chatting and he was curious to know what I’d ask candidates.

So I gave him a few questions off the top of my head:

1. My product has 2,500 users but 50 paying customers. Any idea about what could be wrong?
2. AI search is a hot topic. Would you be able to explain what query fan-out means?
3. A SaaS has a retention problem. What are 3 things you’d do to reduce churn?
4. I’m running an ad on Instagram that says “learning limited.” How would you fix it?
5. This brand started being more active on social media. Could you tell me how to understand if it’s working?

I told him there’s not necessarily one right answer but it would be really interesting to hear their reasoning.

If they’re able to go through all of them they’re definitely great marketing generalists.

New AI tool: Today we’re releasing Claude Code for marketing.

Me: Skeptical but the launch video has 3M views so let’s take a look at it.

New AI tool: It does a marketer’s work in minutes by browsing, clicking and posting like a human would.

Me: Ahh so what it really does is spam the web with automated comments pretending to be me.

New AI tool: The marketing hire is now optional.

Me: Hahaha no.

At some point while building your product you will get an urge to become better at marketing. It’s very important that you listen to that urge and just get started.

It’s counterintuitive but one of the best marketing strategies is to underpromise and overdeliver. You will likely sacrifice some growth in the short term but all the word of mouth that will come after will more than make up for it. Luckily most people do the opposite.

When you search for “product hunt alternatives” the site that ranks first right below the AI overview is… Product Hunt itself.

There are a lot of benefits to doing something like this for your product. Not only do you drive potential users to your site instead of somewhere else.

You might also get another chance for them to consider what you sell. Unfortunately most founders are too scared by the idea of linking out to competitors.

But if you don’t control the narrative somebody else is going to and it won’t be in your favor!

💰How I’d spend my marketing budget in 2026💰
(probably not the way most people expect)

1/ Community

Not (only) to chase LLM recommendations, but to finally get closer to real users and stop letting opinions drive content and product decisions.

2/ AI training for the marketing team

Not to replace people or turn marketers into engineers, but to make good teams operate better: less Frankenstein DYI-tooling, clearer processes, shared knowledge.

3/ A content repurposing engine

Not to be everywhere, but to consistently show up where the audience pays attention. One strong long-form pillar, a few smart seed channels, and an email list you actually own.

4/ A subject-matter expert on the team (part-time)

Not to complicate org charts, but to kill content bottlenecks, bring fresh insights straight from the source, and finally retire “don’t we have a marketing team for that?”

5/ Partnerships

Not just to 10x distribution, but to build an ecosystem where the traditional roles of creators, customers, partners, and resellers start to merge.

TL;DR
All in on relationships, original content, and solid processes, with AI helping us move faster and (occasionally) better.

It’s 2026 and you want your organic traffic and clicks back the same way you want your old LinkedIn reach back.

I get it. I miss both too. Unfortunately, neither is coming back.

And that’s fine, because traffic was never the end goal. 
It was just the easiest thing to measure.

What actually changed isn’t “SEO performance”.
It’s search behavior.

👵 The old way (RIP):
Google → blue links → blog → nurture → conversion

👶 The new way:
ChatGPT / Google AI / Reddit / LinkedIn → brand mentioned → brand remembered → direct or branded search → pricing / comparison → conversion

Notice what’s missing?
The clicks you’re still reporting on.

📚 Here’s what content teams are seeing, now confirmed by a Semrush study (1000% worth checking out): https://bit.ly/4jpU9RK

→ Google still drives traffic for 93%, but its monopoly is fading
→ LinkedIn, email, and direct are growing as brand-led channels
→ 57% report declining organic traffic. Only 26% see any revenue impact
→ AI-driven visitors are 4.4× more likely to convert than classic organic traffic

So this isn’t a traffic collapse.
It’s a click collapse.

How to measure content marketing in 2026:
→ Growth in branded search
→ Online visibility BEYOND Google
→ Brand mentions and citations in AI answers
→ Assisted conversions from AI, social, and communities
→ Performance of homepage, pricing, and comparison pages

If your board still asks for traffic, your job this year is to teach them what actually drives revenue.

❓Why are you still measuring your content with clicks❓

I don’t think people realize how often you have to repeat the same thing [over and over and over] to grow...anything really.

We’ve grown The Workflow to 1,100+ subscribers with 6 issues live, and no, it didn’t happen because of one viral post. It happened because we kept repeating ourselves constantly.

⇒ I post about it 1–2 times a week.
⇒ Guests post about it on their accounts.
⇒ Diandra posts about it 1–2 times a week.
⇒ We post 4× a week on our LinkedIn company page.
⇒ I shamelessly plug it in interviews, articles, and websites.
⇒ I pitched it at Christmas dinner to my parents and my cousin.
⇒ The link to subscribe is in our bios, headers, featured sections.

Every post brings a few familiar names from our 85K+ LinkedIn followers onto the list. And not because they didn't get the memo before.

First time? Ignored.
Second? “Already subscribed to enough stuff.”
Third? “Looks good, but I already follow them on LinkedIn.”
Fourth? Clicked. Subscribed. BAM.

Another example:
Only ~20% of readers click on newsletter links.
Which is a sin, considering we drop custom templates and prompts in every issue.

Last week, we repackaged 3 months of prompts into our first Prompt Vault [proof: https://lnkd.in/d3wxEFZQ].
Same content. New format. CTR? 40% (!)

It’s not black magic. It’s saying the same thing 50 times without sounding like a sleazy car saleswoman.

If it’s worth hearing, it’s worth repeating.
...but make it worth hearing first!

Are you still talking about demand generation? Soooo 2021.
2026 is about demand MANIFESTATION 

Here’s how it works:

🕯️  Light some incense
🧘‍♀️ Grab your yoga mat
💎 Wodo-wodo your crystals
💰 and simply manifest the pipeline you want to close this quarter.

Repeat “I’m a lead magnet” three times, and your chances of achieving that will go up by 90%. 

I tested this ritual to manifest being in the same video with some of my favorites [Diandra, Rolf, Nike, Tycho, and Steven].

Here's the proof it REALLY works.
