### 🔥 Anthropic: Labor Market Impacts of AI
**Source:** https://www.anthropic.com/research/labor-market-impacts
**Type:** Research paper (March 5, 2026)
**Key takeaway:** AI isn't killing jobs yet, but hiring of young workers (22-25) into exposed roles dropped ~14% since ChatGPT. The canary isn't layoffs, it's slower hiring. Most exposed: programmers, customer service, data entry, financial analysts. Least exposed: hands-on physical work.
**Relevant to Mike:** NMC's cleaning contractors (physical work) are in the least exposed category. The business model is naturally AI-resistant on the service delivery side. AI opportunity is on the operations/marketing side.

### 🔥 Jacky Chou: 13 Income Streams ($374K/mo)
**Source:** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7vA65aaRTM
**Type:** YouTube interview (Florian Dar Roman channel)
**Key takeaways:**
- Rank #1 on ChatGPT in 10 days: Get 20+ listicle blog posts with your brand at #1, doesn't need Google traffic
- Reddit playbook: Find ranking Reddit post, comment your brand, buy upvotes (1 cent each). Or create new post, buy 500 upvotes, edit later
- Chrome signal exploitation: Blast real human traffic (Facebook ads) to pages ranking 5-20 to boost rankings
- Local SEO 2026: #1 factor is user signals (people physically visiting your Google location), then reviews, then citations
- YouTube >>> X for revenue (90% vs 10% with coupon code tracking)
- VSL (Video Sales Letter): 2-min video on landing page, 60%+ conversion if viewer watches 90%+
- 90-day $0→$10K plan: LLM optimization agency + daily cold outreach + daily content
- SaaS playbook: deep niche knowledge → find tool gap → build with Cursor → market to YouTube audience
- Delegation: anything done more than once gets delegated. Accept subpar execution.
**Relevant to Mike:** Local SEO tactics directly applicable to NMC. VSL concept for nomorechores.com landing page. LLM optimization (making sure NMC shows up in ChatGPT/Claude recommendations for Toronto cleaning).
