it’s never been easier to build something.
spin up a SaaS with AI, drop it on Gumroad or a Webflow site, automate half your ops with Make, Zapier or n8n… done by Sunday.
but distribution? that’s still where 99% of people fall flat.
and that’s why i keep coming back to SEO.
not because i love generating blog posts.
but because it’s one of the only marketing channels where you can literally see demand before you build.
let me explain:
→ Search volume = how many people search for something each month (demand signal)
→ Keyword difficulty = how hard it is to rank on Google for that search term (competition & market saturation signal)
→ Top 10 results = your direct competitors, shown in plain sight.
→ Geo filters = see what’s trending in the US, UK, Spain, wherever
this isn’t some “spray and pray” marketing. it’s basically market research + traffic + sales, all baked into one tool (i use Ahrefs, but there are others).
and now with AI?
you can automate the whole SEO stack:
→ keyword research
→ blog post generation
→ internal linking
→ backlink outreach
→ uploading directly to WordPress or Webflow
you can literally run a full SEO agency solo – no copywriters, no devs, no cold email teams. just you + good prompts.
so yeah… build something cool if you want.
but if you actually want it to grow?
learn distribution.
and SEO is one of the most underrated ways to do it.
