The New Rules of Digital Marketing · one email a week
The front door moved. Here is what still works.
For creators and small business owners who do their own marketing. Every week: one rule that changed now that AI decides who gets found, one receipt from my own numbers, and the one thing to do before next week.

What lands in your inbox
Three parts, every time. Short enough to read between two LIVEs or before the shop opens.
1 · The rule
One thing about getting found that changed, said plainly. The old rule next to the new one, so you can see what to stop.
2 · The receipt
My own numbers, dated. Which of my 259 posts in nine weeks did the work, where the 21,200 impressions came from, what it cost in hours.
3 · The move
One thing to do before next week, with the receipt to screenshot on day 3. No course, no funnel, no homework list.
No. 1 is about where the front door went. 259 posts, seven networks, nine weeks. Short video carried 86% of the impressions. The website came last, and only after a video. Subscribe above and it is the first thing you get.
Who this is for
- Creators who stream from a computer. TikTok LIVE, YouTube, Twitch, Kick. You want gifters and viewers to find you, and you have one evening a week for marketing.
- Small business owners who do their own marketing. No agency, no team, a phone and a Tuesday.
If you run a B2B company with a website or an AWS Marketplace listing, the sister publication is Table Stakes: same house, different reader, one lesson a week on the page a buyer reads.
Written by Ron Davis. Eight years inside AWS, now a creator and a small business owner myself. The receipts in every issue are mine.
