Brand Swapping
Brand swapping is an innovative content strategy introduced by Niche Twins. It involves reusing 80-90% of existing brand-related content to create new articles for different brands in the same category.
Let's take a simple example: "Yamaha dirt bike won't start". After creating a high-quality article about this topic, you can swap "Yamaha" with other popular dirt bike brands like:
Suzuki
Honda
Kawasaki
The core content remains largely unchanged because most troubleshooting steps are similar across brands. The key is to identify and include the 10-20% brand-specific information that makes each article unique and valuable.
Brand swapping isn't limited to product brands. This technique works well with:
City Swapping: "Best Places to live in Sri Lanka" → "Best Places to live in New Zealand"
Platform Swapping: "How to clear cache in WordPress" → "How to clear cache in Magento"

Brand Swapping does seem like a rebrand of Programmatic SEO.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. The #1, #2, #3 deciding factor of a startup’s success is the shipping velocity.
Companies have no long term moat, the only moat is a fast shipping culture.

"You can make a fast horse go slower, but not a slow horse faster."
There are no MOATs anymore other than brand building. AI has killed all kinds of MOATs.

Best form of learning is long-form learning. Surface-level learning doesn't stick. You feel like you have learned but you are just ignorant.
