🛠 Titanium Times – Issue #9 (Week of June 23 - June 27, 2025)

We’re Building Like Real Publishers: Letterman’s News Feed, Mintbird Tweaks, and Chad’s “Mark My Word” Moment

I have to say, this week really opened my eyes to just how much power we have in our hands with the Titanium Suite.

I’ve been playing with the new Letterman News Feed at /news, and it honestly feels like we’re running our own digital newspaper. The best part? Chad’s got us all set up to get found in more places than ever before.

We learned about some big SEO upgrades that are coming, a new Chrome extension that’s going to make grabbing and spinning articles a breeze, and Chad’s “mark my word” vision about why building a real local audience is the safest bet for the future.

🔥 This Week’s Theme: Get Found, Stay Real

With so much AI noise out there, it’s never been more important to make sure our real stories and newsletters get seen by the right people. This week, we’re focusing on the tools that help us show up in search, look more professional, and keep our content 100% ours.

✅ Brand New News Feed at /news

Now, every Letterman site has a special News Feed that you can find by adding /news to your newsletter URL

This page shows all your latest articles as teasers, with a “read more” or “subscribe now” button under each one. When someone clicks, they go right to your full article or can sign up for your newsletter.

✅  Newsletter Article "Cue" (Big New Feature!)

Coming next week, when you write articles, you can pick which ones go into your newsletter by checking a box. Letterman will make a teaser link for each article, and you can see how many people click.

“When you write an article, there will be check boxes on the right hand side. Number one is archive this article, number two is add this to my newsletter cue, and number three is do not index this in the search engines… When you create your newsletter, you only have the articles that you would actually pull in…"

✅ Article Creation Made Easier

You can now make articles by just pasting text and letting Letterman rewrite it.  Next week you an also paste a link to another article and rewrite from there. You will also have the ability to add a video to your article.

“Next week… you can just go ahead and put your URL to the article. Or, if you’re copying from Facebook or whatever, you can just select the text. And it’s going to pull both in"

✅ Advertising and Sponsors Built-In

Coming soon, you'll be able to keep track of advertisers and sponsors, add their banners to the top or side of your news feed, and even rotate ads. 

✅ Comments Coming Soon

In about 3 weeks, people will be able to leave comments on your articles right inside Letterman. This helps build a real community around your news and stories.

Readers can talk about your stories and feel like they’re part of your community. This keeps people coming back and makes your site more fun.

"Over the next few weeks, when you click inside of here, we will have comments appearing at the bottom. "

✅ Control of Where Articles Appear

Through toggles in each article, you can decide if an article shows up in your news feed, your archives, your newsletter, or even if it’s hidden from Google.

✅ In Development - Standard Pages for Each Newsletter

When this feature is launched, these pages will be created automatically for every publication and can be edited:

1. Registration pages
2. Thank you page
3. Archives
4. Email Confirmation
5. Contact Page
6. Advertising Inquiry
7. Newsletter Inquiry
8. Privacy Policy
9. Terms of Service.

✅  Contests to Grow Your Newsletter and Get Shares!

Chad and the team are building new contest software that will help you get more people to sign up for your newsletter and get your stories shared everywhere.

With this, you can run fun contests where people share your newsletter stories, sign up to join, and even win prizes for helping you spread the word.

Goals of this platform are:

• • Share stories from your newsletter
    
  • Get signups for your newsletter
    
    
  • Reward people for sharing your newsletter

✅  Member Grabber Fixed for Facebook Changes

The Member Grabber tool has been updated to keep working after Facebook changed things.

"We did update it. It’s been updated in the Chrome Store. So you need to go, just click on your extension.”

✅  Update: August 5 launch confirmed

Mintbird is now launching on August 5, 2025. 

"August 5th we're launching Mintbird... everybody's begging for it."

✅  New Bump Offer Customization and Animations

Mintbird now lets you change and customize how bump offers look and move on your sales pages.

You can pick new layouts, customizations and even add animations to make the offers stand out more. This helps you catch people’s attention and can get you more sales because your special offers won’t blend in—they’ll pop!

✅  Funnel Split Testing Makes It Easy to Find What Sells Best

Mintbird lets you run split tests inside your funnels. This means you can try out different versions of your pages, see which one gets more sales, and always use the one that works best.

It also retains a history of past split tests for you to refer back to. 

✅  AI Copy Option for Pages—Clone and Improve Any Page Fast

Mintbird now has an “AI Copy” button for pages. You can take any page you have, click the button, and Mintbird uses AI to make a new, unique version for you.

“In pages, now have ‘AI Copy’—will take any page, use AI to clone it and make a new version.”

✅  Custom Domains Now Available

Custom domains with SSL are now working. 

If you initially get an error, check back as the system retries every 5 mins for any failures that may happen.
