This past weekend I studied a successful builder of directories named Frey Chu. He doesn't shill for get rich schemes.
He went over a few directories that are quite lucrative -- see the attached images.
Ultimately, what they all have in common is a rich content graph also known as a knowledge graph.
Here's a video, where I explain the terminology and methodology you need to get started.
In summary it's this.
- You need to build a website that people want to visit and stay in.
- Use a tool such as ChatGPT to brainstorm.
- Make the damn directory; here's a tutorial, where I show you how I made one with Lovable.
I got into more detail here.
I'll start first.
36.
Also, what's your favorite domain registrar service?
Mine is Namecheap, but thinking of trying Porkbun.
Making a playlist on the usage of color as an integral component in design.
Just to drill in the importance consider this.
UPS and the Brown Branding Backfire
UPS chose brown in 1916 to convey reliability and hide dirt—earning the nickname "Big Brown" in the U.S.
But abroad, the color clashed with local contexts: in Spain, brown trucks evoked hearses; in Germany, brown uniforms recalled Nazi "Brownshirts."
A reminder that even color can carry unexpected meaning across cultures.
Here's the video where I dive deeper.
Also, here's a more detailed blog post.
That's why I built CopyMeow
Goal is to easily provide curated color palettes with meaning.
Anyone can generate a color palette of their choosing as well.
I extracted Huzzler's color palette, while also that of other websites.

Learning grammar is important, but boring.
So I made a game that can help me practice Japanese or Spanish via the retro game Snake (a game 90's kids played)
Check out the demo.

Huzzler and its small vibrant community is amazing.
I hope I never unintentionally violate any community rules, while I finesse my brand messaging.
If I do, I can count on Vincent on correcting me.
Ultimately, genuine effort will be appreciated...but not all forums.
Below I share a screenshot of a post that followed all rules, yet resulted in a ban on Reddit.
Have to be mindful of the language we use.
It's the ultimate form of (Prompt) Engineering.
The project
I build language learning applications, because I love learning languages.
So I built a game called Grake, which is inspired from the classic game Snake, except you grow the snake by capturing the words in the right order.
This is playful way to learn grammar, vocabulary, and syntax in foreign languages.
How I did it
- Used Ahrefs to find common expressions that people search for such as :
How to say in spanish.
this resulted in 33,691 keywords in the USA alone.
2. I filtered for low KD and high SV.
3. Then created pages that exemplify the word or phrase that match that keyword in Grake.
As a result I created pages whose title, description, and keywords in the metadata contained said keywords.
After 1 month, I successfully ranked for 140 keywords.
Although only 1 of them is top 10, I feel optimistic about my strategy of generating traffic, while I continue marketing my language learning application.
Here's the video, where I show the proof and how I did it.
Yesterday I made a post on how to use Gemini + Gamma to make a website in minutes.
Honestly, it's an amazing combination.
But, did you know that GenSpark, can do a similar job for you without using any other tools ?
This was my prompt
I am creating a video on the meaning of colors across cultures. return a well formatted report with a table on the meaning of colors across all the major cultures, such as Western, Chinese, Indian, West African, Native American, etc make it into a presentation.
This is what it returned.
Now I can design my course on color design much faster.
Here's the YT Tutorial.
I was researching on the meaning of color across cultures, as part of a video I am working on. So, I need a research tool.
Now, I need to create a presentation or a website in minutes.
Can I do that ?
Yes.
There's a 2 step formula that I found:
- Use a Deep Research Tool (Gemini, ChatGPT, etc) -- this is how I conducted my research.
- Use a text to presentation maker, namely Gamma.App.
Here's the final output by gamma. Just crazy.
Here's the YT tutorial: https://youtu.be/Sz2jNt2KHCw
OpenRouter.AI is an LLM and multimodal model inference management service.
You issue an API key once.
Then you choose which model you want to use.
Set your prompt.
Ready to go.
You can also use it for free (up to 1k requests / day)
Here's a short demo.
