Ryan Borden has been building businesses online since the early commercial internet. He earned his first $1,000 online in 2001 as an affiliate, had SEO generating real revenue by 2007, and spent years as part-owner of a brick-and-mortar agency doing search, lead generation, direct outreach, content, and conversion work. His through-line has always been the same: systems that produce dependable results, not tactics that burn out.
In 2011 Ryan moved into marketing automation and software — and never looked back. His YouTube content has been viewed over a million times. He was among the earliest adopters of ChatGPT and was recognized among the top 1% of ChatGPT users in 2024. He now helps lead Content Magic, an AI-powered content operating system with a 'Heat-Seeking Engine' that studies prospect signals and helps companies reach the right people at the right moment.
Ryan writes at The Moat about applying automation and AI to real marketing problems — not the hype, but the systems and workflows that actually move revenue.
