The roast
Adriana claims her newsletter is for people sick of being treated like toddlers, yet she manages to post fifty times a month just to achieve a zero-point-four-eight percent engagement rate. It turns out that when you name your business Strategic AF, you aren't describing your expertise, you're admitting you're desperate for the attention you aren't getting.
About Adriana
Most marketing advice is either obvious, manipulative, or straight-up insulting to your intelligence. You won’t find that here. I've spent 18+ years in marketing, so I know hacks and bro marketing don't work in the long run. I work with solopreneurs, founders, and experts who are ready to turn their expertise into F-You money — without selling their soul, chasing trends, or burning out on social media hamster wheels. My philosophy? 👉 Strategy > gimmicks 👉 Fewer moving parts, more traction 👉 Systems that sell, not just scream for attention Whether you're building a newsletter, launching a digital product, or turning your expertise into something scalable, I help you create a strategy that gets results — not just likes. Through my Strategic AF newsletter and consulting work, I break down what actually works so you can grow a business that pays well and feels right. No bro marketing. No funnel cults. No “make $80K in 8 days” nonsense. Just smart strategy, tailored to real humans with real offers. Want in? Start here —> get Strategic AF in your inbox: adrianatica.com/newsletter

Do you have this feature yet? Can you mark posts as AI slop? I don't, so I grabbed this image from Business Insider, like a proper human. My favorite part about it is that you will be privately notified if people mark your posts as AI slop, so you get an opportunity to reflect, repent, and delete "In today’s rapidly evolving landscape" from your vocabulary. Oh, and LinkedIn is retiring its AI writing/editing tool too. Finally, some good, useful updates.

Have you ever seen a stellar expert struggle to sell a $500 offers, while average ones have a waitlist? I've seen more than I can count. And I know why that's happening: because you don't compete on competence, but on visibility and persuasion. (It sucks, I know. It's also true.) When you understand how trust is built, how value is perceived, and how words change what someone believes is possible, you no longer struggle. This is the exact knowledge I built into The Profitable Content Engine program. Every day, the app teaches you one of those principles, then immediately walks you through
