    Do you plan to make money with ChatGPT?

    IDEA QUESTION 
    @Andy Black , not copy related, but i figured you'd benefit from this: keyword clusterizer. This tool automatically segments all your keywords. It's made creating ad groups super fast for us now.

    Do you plan to make money with ChatGPT?

    IDEA QUESTION 
    At the agency I work in, we've been using copy.ai to write google ads headlines, descriptions, sitelinks, and landing page copy (in the event that it's really bad and we want to go above and beyond for the client).

    My blog attracts 20k users/month (and growing). Thoughts on monetization?

    EXECUTION

    @eTox, Totally off-topic, but one of the clients my agency works with has a full-time developer from eastern Europe and I believe they pay him about $2k a month, haha. Is this the norm lately?

    I've been working as a PPC Specialist over the last year for an agency and this has my head spinning! I know you didn't mention price - but to make it worthwhile, I'm assuming you charge 2-3x the original CPL?
