Data Pipelines, Patents, and Content Engineering

E1000: Julian Goldie, Charles Floate, and Alejandro Meyerhans join this milestone episode to break down a simple but important question: if you had to start from zero today, with almost no budget, how would you build an SEO business to $10,000 per month?

Each guest approaches the problem differently. We go deep into what actually works right now, what has changed, and what is being overlooked by most people in the industry.

This conversation also expands far beyond that starting question. We get into AI workflows, link building, Reddit strategies, social algorithms, and how search is evolving.

If you are trying to build something from scratch, or rethink your current approach, this episode gives you real strategies and honest perspectives from people actively doing the work.

What we cover: - How to reach $10K/month in SEO starting with almost no money - Selling links vs building local partnerships vs AI services - Using aged domains and simple sites to generate early cash flow - Parasite SEO, trend jacking, and fast monetization strategies - Why some older SEO tactics are working again - How AI agents are being used to create and scale content - The risks and limits of automating SEO work - Building systems for YouTube and 𝕏 that consistently generate traffic - How social platforms like 𝕏, LinkedIn, and Reddit actually distribute content - Why comments, engagement, and timing matter more than most people think - Growing and monetizing subreddits - How LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) are changing search behavior - Query fan-out, brand signals, and why reviews matter more now - Why so many SEOs are moving to places like Thailand - Black hat vs white hat: who is actually winning today - Where Google is heading and what SEO might look like in the next few years

You can do it! Edward writing this personally: I. BELIEVE. IN. YOU!
