I break down the seven distribution strategies every vibe coder and builder needs to actually get customers. With 200,000 new projects launching daily on platforms like Lovable, the real bottleneck is distribution and I believe the wealthiest people over the next decade will be marketers, because code is now commoditized. I walk through each strategy with step-by-step instructions you can start this week, from MCP servers and programmatic SEO to acquiring newsletters and building AI repurposing engines.

Key Points
Distribution is the new moat — AI can build the product, but it can't build your audience or brand.
Building an MCP server in 2026 is like building for mobile in 2010; early movers will own AI-native distribution channels.
Programmatic SEO can scale to 300,000 monthly visitors if you create 10,000 quality pages that each pull just 30 visits a month.
Free tools act as always-on marketing: you can vibe code one in a day, ship it by lunch, and it markets itself forever.
Answer engine optimization (AEO) is where SEO was in 2010 — Peter Levels saw AI referrals jump from 4% to 20% in one month.
You can buy a 10,000-subscriber niche newsletter for $5,000–$20,000 and inherit a direct channel to your exact audience on day one.
