Over the last few months, we’ve been quietly building something we believe could change the way content creators generate leads through their videos.

After years of creating content, running client projects, and watching creators burn out trying to stitch five different tools together just to get a “funnel” working…

I realised something:

Content isn’t the problem.
Conversion is.

We have platforms built for views.
We have dashboards built for data.
But almost nothing built for that crucial moment in between —
when someone is paying attention and actually ready to take action.

So we built something to fix it.

🔥 Introducing Clickk

Clickk is a simple, powerful conversion layer that turns your videos into:

→ Lead-generating experiences
→ Interactive touchpoints
→ Actionable insights
→ Actual revenue-driving moments

No new workflow.
No tech headache.
No “Frankenstein funnel” held together with Zapier.

Clickk lives inside the content you already create and helps your viewers take the next step — instantly.

🚀 We’re opening early access soon
If you want first access before the public launch:

Excited to finally bring this into the world.
Let’s build the future of content-driven conversion.

Marketing is changing faster than we can keep up — and AI is quietly becoming the new search engine.

Here’s a crazy stat I came across recently:

Traffic from ChatGPT is 6× warmer than traffic from Google.

Why?

Because when AI recommends you, it’s based on trust, context, and understanding… not keywords.

This became real for me when a new client reached out and said:

“I actually found you through ChatGPT.”

He literally asked AI for the best Webflow designer in South Africa — and it mentioned me.

That’s when it clicked.

We’re entering the era of AEO — Answer Engine Optimisation.
The way we write content today is training the AI models that will recommend us tomorrow.

Your posts, your site, your clarity… it’s all becoming inputs into how AI understands your expertise.

If you’re only optimising for Google, you’re already falling behind.
The brands that show up in AI conversations will win the next decade of visibility.

👀 I dive into this in today’s video.

If you’re curious about AEO or want me to break down how to actually optimize for it, drop “AEO” in the comments.

A strange thing is happening in SaaS right now.
People aren’t just using your product — they’re rebuilding it.

Low-code and no-code tools have quietly changed the game.
Your customers can now build their own dashboards, schedulers, forms, and automations — in hours.

That means the biggest risk to your business isn’t another startup.
It’s the person using your product who realises:

“Wait… I could just build this myself.”

We’re already seeing this play out:

• Users building internal tools instead of renewing SaaS subscriptions.
• Teams replicating core product functionality using tools like Lovable, Glide, or Retool.
• Even companies threatening legal action against customers who cloned their features (yes, it’s happening).

Here’s the uncomfortable truth:

 ✅ Simple, easy-to-replicate functionality is no longer defensible.
 ✅ Complexity, high utilisation, and unique data are your new moats.
 ✅ Brand, velocity, and user experience are your armour.

So if your value lies in forms, signatures, dashboards, or templates…
You’re not just in a competitive market — you’re in a commoditised one.

Your product strategy needs to evolve faster than your users can rebuild it.

💭 What part of your product could your users build on a low-code platform — and what does that mean for your roadmap?

#saas #roadmap #nocode #lowcode

Asked AI to create a thumbnail for me for my latest YT video. This is what it came up with. Does this look like me? 🤔

I just love this feature of Webflow that allows you to generate Schema data using AI. This is such a time saver.

#webflow #ai #website #schemadata

It is wild out there 🙈 

I was playing around with Gemini's Veo 3.1 trying to recreate a very important scene in the bible in the Book of Daniel. I was as detailed as possible trying to create prompt that would fit this scene asking AI to help improve the prompt. After many takes, this is what I got. I might just need to tweak the prompt a little bit more to get it right but non the less, this is still insane.

#ai #veo3.1 #gemini #nanobanana

Most people still write content for Google…
But AI doesn’t care about keyword stuffing, hacks, or tricks.

Models like ChatGPT and Claude care about three things:
Clarity. Expertise. Helpfulness.

If your content doesn’t communicate those, AI won’t recommend you — simple.

Here’s what actually matters:

✅ Be clear about what you do and where you’re based.
If AI can’t understand it, it can’t recommend you.

✅ Answer real questions your clients are already asking.
This is the data AI uses to identify expertise.

✅ Write like a human — the way people talk to ChatGPT.
Natural language > keyword-stuffed nonsense.

Because here’s the part most marketers are missing:

Every time you publish content — a blog post, a LinkedIn article, a website update — you’re feeding the models. 

You’re training AI to understand who you are, what you do, and whether you’re worth recommending.

AEO isn’t about beating the algorithm.

It’s about becoming the obvious choice for your niche when someone asks AI for help.

If you want to show up in AI-generated recommendations, start by showing up with clarity and real value today.

Creators don’t have an audience problem.
They have a journey problem.

Most creators think the solution is “more reach.”
More views.
More followers.
More impressions.

But here’s the truth nobody wants to admit:

If the viewer leaves the platform… you lose them.
If the viewer stays on the platform… the platform owns them.
The only person who doesn’t own them… is you.

And that’s why creators are stuck in a loop of:
🎢 Create → Post → Pray → Repeat

Here’s the real issue:

You don’t control the journey after the click.

Someone watches your video…
Clicks your link…
And suddenly they’re thrown into a messy maze of:

- YouTube links
- Instagram bios
- Notion docs
- Google Drive folders
- Random landing pages
- 7 different tools stitched together

No wonder conversions are low.
No wonder leads fall through the cracks.
No wonder creators feel like they’re “starting from zero” every day.

Discovery is owned by platforms.
Monetisation should be owned by you.

But right now it isn’t.

And that’s the gap Clickk.com is fixing.

We’re building the easiest way for creators to own the entire journey — from the moment someone watches your content… to the moment they become a customer.

One place.
One flow.
Zero friction.
Maximum conversions.

If you’re a creator who’s tired of:

🚫 Losing viewers after the click
🚫 Sending people to 5 different tools
🚫 Having no idea who watched what
🚫 Hoping your funnel doesn’t break

Then we’re building this for you.

👉 We’re launching soon. Want early access? Join the waitlist.
(We’ll only open it to a limited number of creators in the first batch.)

Your audience is valuable.
It’s time you owned the journey.

#clickk #funnel #conversion #content #creators

You’ve built up great content.

People are watching your YouTube videos, reading your posts, even liking and subscribing.

But here’s the problem:
It stops there.

They don’t book.
They don’t opt in.
They don’t convert.

Because there’s a massive disconnect between content and action.

You don’t need more DMs.
You need your content to lead somewhere — intentionally.

That’s what we’re fixing with Clickk.

Feel this too? Drop a “💬” and I’ll share how we’re closing the gap.

#clickk #funnel #contentcreator #marketing #youtube

Let’s be honest:
Most “funnels” today are cobbled together from five different tools.

You record in one place.
Host in another.
Send traffic elsewhere.
Patch it all with Zapier.
Hope it holds.

It’s not elegant.
And more importantly — it’s not built for solo marketers.

You shouldn’t need an engineering degree to capture a lead.
We’re working on something that just… works.

Simple. Fast. Friction-free.

Your tech stack wasn't meant to be a funnel

Recently completed this landing page design for Clickk(dot)com. It was built in Webflow with animations and videos. Even used some Lottie animations on this website.

#webflow #landingpage #design #lottie

You're not struggling with content — you're struggling with what happens after people see it.

You don’t need another tool to manage.
You don’t need another dashboard to check.
You don’t need another subscription draining your budget.

What you need is a system.
 Something that:

→ Works with what you already use
→ Lives where your content already lives
→ Captures attention and turns it into something real — leads, insights, conversions

No extra steps.
No tech headaches.
No sending your audience down a maze of links.

We’re not here to reinvent your workflow.
We’re here to simplify it.

Clickk isn’t another platform.

It’s the layer that makes your content convert.

And we’re almost ready.

Most people are still trying to rank on Google…
Meanwhile, businesses are quietly getting clients from ChatGPT.

And here’s the wild part:

AI-generated traffic is much warmer than Google traffic.
Because when ChatGPT recommends you, it’s not based on keywords — it’s based on trust, expertise, and context.

So the real question is:

👉 How do you get ChatGPT to recommend your business?
👉 Why does AI choose one expert over another?
👉 And what can you do today to show up in AI conversations?

That’s exactly what I break down in Episode 2 of my AEO series:

“How to Get Recommended by ChatGPT (AEO Step-by-Step)”

In this video I cover:

✔ How AI engines decide who to trust
✔ What AEO (AI Engine Optimization) actually is
✔ Why citations, clarity, and expertise matter more than ever
✔ The steps you can take today to train AI models to recommend you
✔ How your content becomes the data AI uses to identify authorities

We’re entering a whole new era of discovery.

And those who understand AEO early will win the next decade of visibility.
