Hijack Current News To Go Viral

Ole Lehmann shares how to leverage AI to find trending news and add your spin to it for traffic.

Why this matters:
"Everyone's pumping out generic AI content. People are getting tired of it. Audiences desperately want authentic human reactions to real events. When something big happens, thousands rush to social media asking "What does this mean?" That's your opening. Think about it: Someone else already did the hard work of creating a moment everyone's talking about. You just add your unique spice or use the story to lead into a slightly related topic."
