Duncan Carver's - Online Marketing Today
ACE
Autopilot Content Engine
So... I did something.
I went and automated everything...
It's ACE ;-0

I had some old domains sitting here, some with existing Facebook pages doing nothing (some of those with several thousand followers). Not enough time for them. Lost interest. Not profitable enough to bother with - in relation to time required. etc.
We've all been there.
I've also got some pretty big active sites I've just been lazy with and should be doing more for.
So I thought...
What if I could hit a generate topic button and...
- Generate 100 or more topic ideas for articles / social media posts.
- Automate article writing & posting to WordPress with a SEO rich article.
- Schedule those to be posted automatically to the blog with a nice featured image.
Once posted...
- Auto post a relevant "pattern interruption" image to Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter etc in the optimized format for each platform?
- Have those automatically linked back to each article to drive traffic back to the site? (i.e. in the description, make the first comment, all with auto built social hooks, descriptions, comments... so I don't need to touch anything).
- Auto create a relevant "shorts video" for each article and auto post it to YouTube reels and TikTok linking back?
- Auto-schedule all of it to do this 4, 6, 12 (or whatever) times per day for months on end handsfree?
- All articles, images and "assets" are generated automatically.
- Everything would be based on custom prompts so I can "change the style" of everything, for each website / niche I rolled this out on.
- Each article / image asset set, cost only around $0.25.
The answer to all of those is...
Yes!
Yes Duncan, you can, and did... lol.
It's pretty... ACE ;-0
I can then just let these sites sit there just doing their thing - driving traffic via multiple social channels – diversified - and any SEO visitors also arriving over time are a bonus - and we have ready made social signals too.
I can also setup a new domain, in any niche, and roll this exact same formula out in just a few hours...
With one exclusive focus from then on out...
Flick $10 (or whatever) per day to the social media platforms I want to grow the social media accounts followers on...
...and sit back.
That's it.
Automatic content and consistent visitors sorted... on autopilot.
It doesn't matter if AI makes traditional SEO more obsolete over the coming years with their AI search answers or chat bots.
I don't know if it's just me, but I can't remember that last time I went to Google and clicked on a website to find an answer.
Is it just me? Anyway...
Social media is always going to be social media.
So I went simple.
I went laser focused.
I'm already doing that too!
Are you? Is it working well?
...I know there are tools out there that can do some, if not most of what I just described.
I've used many myself (I own at lot of them still).
But a lot of it is patching this to work with that, and getting an "almost" system that you finally just accept and run with.
And it wasn't working very well for me.
Posts were getting 2 or 3 likes here and there.
But I stepped back when I had a lightbulb moment.
Instead of just posting content to social media like everyone else...
...what if I worked backwards to create the most traffic grabbing social media posts - to really hook them in - and the SEO rich article they land on is just the cherry on the cake?
It would satisfy everything.
Here's how I (and you should) do it...
...I'm not going to "benefit load" this letter or insult your intelligence.
If you're here, you've known me for a long time, so I'm just going to show you how it works.
Pretty sure you'll see why this is totally different than what might be in your head right now.
Lets start at the "Topic Generator".
This generates your topic ideas (think articles) for you.
Yes, you don't even need to come up with article ideas if you don't want to ;-0
It looks like this...

Here you select your campaign / website. In this case it's a Classic Cars website.
Enter your Niche / Topic - in this case "Automatic Hacks".
It could be "DIY Car Maintenance", "Car Racing", "Ford", "Holden", "Mazda" anything.
It doesn't matter, I've run this with "Stock Trading", "Gardening", "Web Design"...
It works for any niche.
Select the number of ideas you want to generate (you can generate as many as you want in one go).
If you have blog categories those will be listed there too, so you can generate X number of topics for each category.
Then just hit the "Generate Ideas" button.
ACE will automatically build a list of draft topic ideas - each with a fully optimized social media hook and angle - using a a set of very specific social media interrupt patterns designed to get engagement like nothing you've seen before.
You can edit all of the fields here if you don't like the direction, but 99% of the time everything just works.
I've designed it that way.
Select the ideas you like... and push them through to the "Production Queue" in the "Content Factory" at the click of a button.
Automatic content creation...
Here's what it looks like after you've added 118 different article & image package ideas to get generated, while you close the browser down and do anything else you like.
Each one takes roughly 2 minutes to complete...

Here's what it creates...
The "Content Factory" will create everything for you automatically.
For each idea you select you're going to get...
A fully SEO optimized article based on one of my own proven custom prompts (you can modify the prompt as you like, make articles longer, shorter, more detailed, structure them differently, plug your own in... full control here).
Here is the actual unedited article ACE created from the selected example above...
Toothpaste Headlight Restoration Hack
A WordPress featured image for the article (see that at the link above).
A set of very specifically designed, relevant, pattern interruption social media images for each platform...
(NOTE: You can create images in any style you want to match the current aesthetic of your website.)
Social 4:5
(Facebook | Twitter | Instagram)

These images are designed to get engagement. They confuse the brain and stop "the scroll". Their brain wants to understand what this strange comparison means (even if the viewer doesn't realize it). These also cause slight controversy as people will either agree with one or the other. That means comments, which means engagement.
I've built in 20 different types of these into ACE.
Social 9:16
(Pinterest)

ACE creates these all in the background....
So you can go fishing whilst that happens... or whatever floats your boat.
Once your assets are created you can also edit them if needed.
Click each "asset package" to open up and review everything.
Edit the article if you need to (you wont).
Regenerate an image if it's a bit funky... but 95% of the time they're perfect...

If you don't give a shit that an image might be off, here and there, you can totally automate everything.
Skip the review process entirely, automatically generate everything and automatically send everything to the "Post Queue".
Although... I'm a bit of a stickler about this.
In the bigger scheme of things it doesn't take long - you can create and review a hundred of these in just a few hours time and totally automate the content for your site for the next few months...
So might as well do it right.
Automated Posting...
Once you've approved your articles / asset packages in the Content Factory...
..that's it!
You don't need to do anything else.
Everything else all works in the background.
Each article is then sent to the post queue where it will...
- Post the article to the appropriate category on your WordPress blog along with the featured image.
- Post that article to any social media accounts you've selected (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest). Linking back to it to drive visitors in. You don't have to touch this... each "asset package" also includes all ready made social hooks and will post them too. A "social title", "caption / description", "curiosity hook" etc. You choose.
...you can schedule this as often as you like.
Set it to post one new article to your website - and then your socials - every 4 hours, 6 hours, whatever...
Add them to the end of an existing queue, or add them into the mix of an existing one. Post some immediately if you want.
Shuffle around the post queue... all the options are there...
...and everything is automated.
And currently posting too...


But does it actually work Duncan?
Here's an existing Facebook page I've got, with some real stats from just a couple of days ago.
This one was just doing what everyone does.
Auto posting website content to the page (and other social accounts) with an automatic social poster (dime a dozen).
Cause... at least it was something and easy enough... and that's what we're suppose to do right?

So... I fired up ACE for this website on March 4th after that last post you see above and...

I've always been bad at math but that looks like...
...somewhere around a 10 times improvement... in everything... instantly.
So yeah it works.
I knew it did as I was doing it manually for another website, before I decided I needed to give birth to ACE and automate.
And it's only been running for 2 days on the website above as I write this.
Here are the analytics for the website...

7 DAY UPDATE:
Here are the stats from a week later...
After that initial peak, it peaked even higher the following day and has since mellowed out a little.
Although it's a bit early for a long term trend (I suspect a lot more of those peaks coming, soon), worse case... simply by rolling out this ACE method traffic doubled to this website... and all I do is approve content topics...

WEEK 3 UPDATE:
Here are the stats after 3 weeks...
Turns out that initial peak wasn't just a blip but appears to be closer to a normal trend.
Not much else to say really - think it speaks for itself....

WEEK 4 UPDATE:
Here are the stats after running ACE for 4 weeks...
You might notice something here ;-0
Best day was just under 9,000 visitors (8,888 if you want to be precise).

Facebook page stats have seen a little increase too.
All those new net followers were organic (no paid advertising going on here)...

Pinterest is starting to kick in now too...

WEEK 8 UPDATE:
Here are the stats after running ACE for just over 8 weeks...
The percentage increase in EVERYTHING speaks for itself...

Pinterest is really warming up now too...

Customize (Almost) Everything...
I built ACE so I could roll it out on any website I wanted...
Which means I made everything to be completely customizable.
Use your own writing style, image art style, article generation prompt, image compositions, social media messages. Everything works on custom variables (content ACE creates for you) so you just plug them in where you want...



20+ Proven Social Media Interruption Patterns...
Sorry, you don't get to see these here.
There are 20+ proven social media interruption patterns I'm using to generate images.
These are all selected by default because... well, they work ;-0.
But if you REALLY don't like one of these you can turn them off too.
I'm not sure why you would however.
ACE makes these work no matter your niche..

If you want to do this too...
If you want to follow this system too here's what you will need...
- WordPress / Shopify Website: Currently works with WordPress & Shopify for auto posting.
- Gemini API key. This is what generates everything. If you don't know what this is, I'll show you. If you nagg me enough I can put in GPT or Anthropic but you'll need Gemini for image generation.
- Social Media API Key: I'm using a 3rd party API to handle social media posting from a "coding" perspective. This way I don't have to worry about it if things change. It costs $24 p/m (or $16 if you want to pay annually). You need to buy that separately. You get unlimited social media posting (within the limits of the social media networks).
That's all you need to hit go and go on autopilot but...
...understand I built this for myself and it's been working well for several weeks now across multiple sites and social media channels. But that means a few things you might want to see... might not be there yet.
For example, I do plan to add "automatic reposting to social media accounts".
So when I decide I don't need anymore content for certain websites - it will just recycle - promoting the existing content to the social media channels handsfree.
I'm not there yet as I'm still pumping out a lot of ACE content... but it will be there.
Meantime you can repost to social one by one.
UPDATE: Automatic social reposting is now working (along with a few other features) ;-0
I'm still mind farting with my guy about the automated shorts video to TikTok and YouTube reels.
It's not done yet, but I'll make sure I (we) can retrospectively come back and generate those for each article ACE creates.
Shouldn't be too far away, it's the last part to totally automate...
2 More Only Until I Balance The Server...
Based on the initial interest, I'm only letting 2 more people in so I can make sure the server can handle it.
There is a lot going on in the background so this can all happen while we go out fishing.
I might only let 10 people use it full stop (currently there are 4 of us), as I didn't build it for anyone but myself.
Not sure yet... but this aint going to be "mass marketed".
I'd prefer a small group where we might be able to cross promote each other along the way.
With that in mind the cost...
- $97 per month. This covers the ongoing server costs and all the other misc. along the way.
- $24 per month. For the 3rd party social media posting API.
Sound expensive? For that you get...
- 3 websites / campaigns to load into ACE.
- Unlimited content and social media posting.
...that means you can put 3 websites on total autopilot for just $40 a month each.
You wouldn't have read about that last year.
And no way in hell with my personal knowledge and experience baked into ACE.
If this sounds like you and you want to be one of ten (star trek reference, sorry) there is a button below.
If ACE isn't working for you after a month, no worries...
Just cancel and we part ways no harm done & you keep all your sparkly new content & assets....
PS: If you have any questions at all, feel free to reply to the email that sent you here.
AI is cool, but I'm still a real guy that will answer you personally lol ;-0
Clearly there is a lot going on that I can't just show anyone that arrives here. But pretty sure you get the gist.
