CREATORS NOW RIVAL SEARCH FOR GEN Z PRODUCT DISCOVERY

33% of Gen Z now discover products through creator posts, 4 points behind online search, and 67% bought something in the past year because an influencer endorsed it. Small creators convert as often as famous ones, since buyers weigh honesty and actual product use well above popularity. Trust in influencers among Gen Z and millennials has risen 13 points since 2019 as trust in friends and family fell, cutting the gap between them from 33 points to 15.

HANDS ON: DIY GUIDE TO ANIMATED LINKEDIN INFOGRAPHICS

Tim Scheuer's process for creating animated B2B LinkedIn infographics starts with writing an original insight, designing a static graphic, then animating it in Claude Code using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. He builds a reusable project repository containing brand guidelines, fonts, icons, coded components, audience profiles, and past posts to keep the output consistent with his voice. Claude generates and reviews the animation through multiple rounds before Scheuer approves the final version. He batches five posts on Sundays, repurposes ideas across LinkedIn, X, and his newsletter, then uses engagement data to identify qualified prospects and start conversations.

GEO IS A DISTRACTION

Optimizing for ChatGPT citations and other LLM mentions is a distraction because AI tools generated just 0.73% of Google Organic's traffic across 100 websites, while Google Organic accounted for 96.5% of tracked conversions. Focus on conversions and user satisfaction across Google Search, including AI Overviews and AI Mode, rather than chasing AI visibility metrics. Longer term, there are opportunities in agentic commerce through Google Merchant Center and Universal Cart, the Universal Commerce Protocol for agent-led purchases, WebMCP tools that let AI agents use website functions, and smart eyewear that enables new shopping and service interactions. You can begin preparing by improving product data and experimenting with agent accessible tools as these technologies develop.

YOUR NEWSLETTER HAS TWO READERS NOW

Your newsletter now has two readers: the human subscriber and the AI that may summarize, prioritize, or retrieve your email on the subscriber's behalf. AI summaries in Apple Mail, Outlook, and Yahoo can replace your preview text or condense your content, potentially changing what readers notice and whether they click. A Twilio and Inbox Monster test found that subject lines and live text near the top of an email helped shape Apple's summaries, while images and alt text provided less useful information. Test how your newsletter appears in these inboxes, make your main stories and sponsor messages clear in live text, and measure engagement through multiple signals rather than relying on open rates alone.

COMMISSION ISN'T ENOUGH: 57 CREATORS SAY THEY WANT MORE FROM AFFILIATE PROGRAMS

Affiliate programs are more effective when brands treat creators as long-term partners rather than relying on commissions alone. Although 68% of surveyed creators still accept affiliate commissions, many say the rates don't justify the work without additional payment, product gifting, and brand support. 72% of creators said brands don't provide new products often enough, and most prefer monthly gifting. Creators also want more hands-on management, including regular communication, performance reviews, and promotional resources. Tiered commissions, bonuses, and ongoing relationship management can help brands keep affiliates active and build sustained revenue.
