CHON BURI, Thailand - January 5, 2026 - Digital marketing entrepreneur Tony Hayes has released his latest Daily Growth Signals newsletter edition, exposing a massive disconnect in the freelance and agency market: while most service providers are competing on price for basic website builds, local businesses are actively seeking AI solutions they'll pay $5,000+ for—and can't find qualified providers.
"The market has shifted, but most freelancers haven't noticed," Hayes explains. "Businesses don't want another website. They want their phone answered 24/7 by AI. They want their dead lead database turning into new revenue. They want to look credible on social media without hiring a full-time person. These are $2K-$5K monthly retainers hiding in plain sight."
The newsletter edition, titled "The $5K AI Services Local Businesses Are Desperate For," breaks down nine specific strategies currently working in the market, including:
High-Ticket AI Services No One's Selling: Voice agents replacing call centers, database reactivation systems, and automated credibility-building social media packages that command $1,000-$5,000 monthly retainers with immediate ROI.
The 48-Hour Ranking Hack: A "Parasite SEO" technique using Perplexity Pages to rank content on Google Page 1 in 48 hours by borrowing authority from established platforms—no backlinks required.
Free Directory Building: A step-by-step method for building programmatic SEO directories using Google's Firebase Studio at zero cost, complete with login functionality and automated SEO optimization for each page.
Reddit Marketing Without Getting Banned: The exact "value-first" strategy for dominating AI search results through Reddit, where both Google and LLMs like ChatGPT are increasingly pulling answers from community discussions.
The Google API Leak Insights: An advanced breakdown of what the leaked Google API documents reveal about ranking factors, including the "Content Effort Score" and why low-effort content is being systematically de-ranked.
Hayes, who operates multiple AI-powered marketing automation businesses from Thailand, has built his reputation on transforming emerging strategies into systematic, repeatable processes through proprietary social listening across Twitter, YouTube, and industry sources.
"Information without action is just entertainment," Hayes notes. "That's why every strategy in this edition comes with a complete implementation package: 4-paragraph summaries, 25 key takeaways, and step-by-step checklists. You can read about voice agents in the morning and be pitching them to local businesses by afternoon."
The newsletter also covers:
-
Turning YouTube comments into viral content assets using NotebookLM
-
Fixing high-ticket Google Ads campaigns that burn cash with wrong intent targeting
-
Harbor SEO, a free tool for generating SEO content on autopilot
-
Will Cannon's "stupid simple" strategy for building multi-million dollar software by cloning existing ideas
-
The specific phrase that stops Reddit moderators from deleting promotional posts
"Speed of execution beats perfection every time," Hayes emphasizes. "While competitors are still learning about these strategies, you can already have them working in your business. The person who ships first usually wins."
The newsletter is available to subscribers of Daily Growth Signals and includes direct links to video breakdowns, implementation guides, and actionable checklists for immediate deployment.
For entrepreneurs, marketers, and agency owners seeking practical implementation over theoretical advice, Hayes maintains an active presence on YouTube (@tonyhayes), Twitter (@TonyH_Marketing), and consolidates resources at linktr.ee/TonyHayes.
