Making Money Online in the Age of AI: What Still Works in 2026 and 2027

The traditional playbook is not dead. But the economics have changed, and the people who taught it have changed with them. A few years ago, the standard advice for making money online fitted on a postcard. Pick a topic you care about. Build a site. Publish useful content. Earn affiliate commissions, ad income, or both. Add an email list. Repeat. That advice built a lot of businesses, and it built IncomeDiary. Other routes ran alongside it: online courses, software, authority sites in tight niches, sponsorships. Michael Dunlop’s PopUpDomination is a good example from the software side. When Pat Flynn interviewed him on the Smart Passive Income podcast in October 2010, Michael had just launched it as a premium WordPress plugin for bloggers. It found one specific problem, getting more email subscribers, and built a tool for it. So is that world over? Not quite. But anyone who tells you AI has changed nothing, or that it has changed everything, has not looked at the numbers. 1. ...

Holiday Marketing Campaigns: A Month-by-Month Plan for 2026

TL;DR A holiday marketing campaign is an offer, a popup, or an email linked to one date on the shopping calendar. This guide covers the year-end season, which runs roughly from Halloween to the New Year sales, and each date works best with a different kind of campaign. It starts with the list you build in October, runs through Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday, and the December shipping cutoffs, and ends with the January sale. Are you planning your holiday marketing around one Black Friday discount? The holiday season has nine important sales dates, but each one works best with a different campaign. The holiday season is the one time of year when your visitors arrive already planning to buy. So, your job is making sure they shop with you, come back for the next date on the calendar, and leave you with an email list that keeps customers coming back. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the year-end season one holiday at a time, from the list you buil...

7 Social Proof Popup Examples (That Actually Work)

TL;DR A social proof popup shows your visitors that other people already trust you. A notification popup streams real activity, like “Sarah just signed up,” in a corner of the page. On the other hand, a lead-capture popup carries the proof inside it, like a subscriber count, a review score, or a customer quote. Are you getting traffic to your site but nobody wants to convert? That’s the gap that a social proof popup can fill. A first-time visitor to your website doesn’t know you, so they look for a sign that other people bought, signed up, or left happy before they will decide anything. I’ll show you 7 social proof popup examples in this post. Most of them are campaigns we run on our own website, so I can tell you why we built each one the way we did. I’ll also cover the one situation where I’d tell you not to run a social proof popup at all. What Is a Social Proof Popup? 7 Social Proof Popup Examples A Recent Activity ...

NEW! Analytics Exports: Stop Rebuilding Client Reports by Hand

Are you tired of rebuilding client reports by hand, every single month? We’ve heard this from marketing agencies a lot, and the frustrating part is that the data already exists. It’s just been stuck inside your OptinMonster dashboard. So every month, you copy campaign numbers into a spreadsheet, one analytics screen at a time. Then you do it again for the next campaign, and the next client, because each client needs their report cut differently. That changes now. We’re launching Analytics Exports , available now on Pro and Growth plans. It pulls your campaign data out of the dashboard and into a filtered CSV, with exactly the scope, date range, and columns you choose. The screen-by-screen copying is gone. Just export the data once, then build the report your client actually asked for. What is Analytics Exports? Analytics Exports pulls your campaign performance data out of OptinMonster and into a CSV file. This data opens in Excel, Google She...
