@iannuttall — building a $26k/month pSEO portfolio with no employees
I built a $26,000/mo programmatic SEO portfolio that operates with no employees.
If you want to get into pSEO this year, here's how I would do it from scratch:
- Build on an aged domain
To get explosive results I always look to find and acquire an aged and abandoned site that [continues in thread]
That's an interesting operational constraint — no employees, $26k/month. The first piece of advice (aged domain) is also the most concrete: acquiring a domain with existing authority and link equity compresses the timeline significantly compared to building from scratch. Programmatic SEO at scale is fundamentally a data pipeline problem — you need a source of structured content at volume, a template that converts that content into indexable pages, and enough domain authority for Google to care. The "no employees" part is really just saying the pipeline is automated. Worth reading the full thread for the specifics on the content generation side.
@BrettFromDJ — Midjourney for landing page background assets
Been using Midjourney to generate dope background assets for landing pages.
Practical. Most landing page builders default to stock photo gradients or abstract blobs, and the result looks like every other SaaS site from 2021. Using Midjourney to generate bespoke background textures, hero illustrations, or abstract visuals is a cheap way to differentiate — especially if you nail a consistent style prompt. The only gotcha is consistency across pages: if you're generating per-section, you need a tight style string to keep things coherent. Saving that as a reusable base prompt is worth the upfront time.
@Abmankendrick — six go-to sites for design inspiration
UI/UX Designers, Go-to sites for design inspiration
Web design → curated.design Landing pages → onepagelove.com Design systems → component.gallery Animation → appmotion.design Apps → mobbin.com Brands → rebrand.gallery
Honestly saved this as a reference list. The one I keep forgetting about is component.gallery — it catalogs UI components across real products, which is useful when you're designing something standard (a date picker, a file uploader) and want to see how a dozen different teams solved the same problem before you commit to a pattern. mobbin.com is similarly useful for mobile flows. The rest of the list is solid if obvious.
