And I still think this is possible now. This is like the Apple iOS store, basically back in the day, where there was nothing. There was nothing yet. There weren't apps. You could literally make money by just making a flashlight app, a calculator app, a fart app, whatever. This is the golden age of... AI and SEO combined with each other.

And this is probably not even going to work in two years anymore because all these niches are going to be found. They're going to be filled in by people just doing all these things.

Because it feels like with SEO, I don't know what your experience with it is, but the first to market, the first to build the backlinks, the first to get the domain names and stuff, they will mostly stay on the top of the market in that sense.

for me and like I don't take meetings this early just because I like to wake up, get into the deep creative flow. But for Danny, you make exceptions.

00:00 - 00:00 Danny Postma

Nice. I don't take any meetings after 6 and this is 8 p.m. for me. Normally I'd already be sleeping because we wake up at 5. I got a dog scratching my face at 5 a.m. in the morning. But I obviously make an exception for Greg in this podcast.

00:00 - 00:00 Greg Isenberg

I appreciate it. So what do you got for us today?

00:00 - 00:00 Danny Postma

Yeah, what do you want to spitball about? What ideas do you have? I've been listening to a few episodes and I think everyone is just rambling on good ideas. So you probably know what your audience is most interested in. I put like a few things in it.

00:00 - 00:00 Greg Isenberg

I want to start with the AI insert keyword generator.
