On Wednesday, I revealed that I’m letting Claude run my ad account while I’m on vacation in Africa.
Beyond serving as a fun little AI marketing experiment…
I figured some of you might be interested in my autonomous ad setup…
(assuming it doesn’t torpedo my ads lol)
So I put a request for replies in the P.S. to gauge interest.
Turns out, I was bang on.
My inbox was flooded with replies:
This is one of the easiest ways to gauge interest for a new offer….
… if you have an ENGAGED email list, that is ;)
Simply ask your subscribers to reply with a keyword to raise their hand.
As time goes on, your “offer intuition” will get better…
But it’s always good to confirm there’s interest in something before you go to the trouble of building out the product, funnel, etc.
Validate before you create.
Anyhow, that’s it for me.
I’m somewhere over the Atlantic at the moment and ready to lock in for what is going to be the trip of a lifetime.
First up on the docket:
Cruising through the swamp looking for shoebill storks!
Look these up if you’ve never seen a photo.
So insanely cool.
Ciao for now ✌️

P.S:
In light of my aforementioned vacation…
I’ll be reducing my mailing frequency to 3x a week while I’m away.
So expect to see me in your inbox Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
