01What rank #1 in 7 hours with Qwen 3.8 Max means
Ranking #1 in 7 hours with Qwen 3.8 Max means using the free AI model to create content that Google puts at the top of the search results very fast. In this episode, Julian Goldie shows a real example: an article about Hermes v0.20 that ranked #1 above Google's AI overviews just hours after publishing.
The system works by combining Qwen 3.8 Max with a set of rules called a skill. This skill tells the AI exactly how to write, format, and optimize a page step by step. The result is content that looks human-made, includes your own experience, and follows SEO best practices.
Julian says a human would take a whole week to do this manually, but the AI does it in one click.
02Key features of the Qwen 3.8 Max ranking system
The system has several important features that make ranking fast and consistent. First, you can use Qwen 3.8 Max for free at chat.qwen.ai—just select the model. Second, you can add a case study to your content, which adds EEAT and creates information gain that Google loves.
- Fully automated internal and external links inside the content.
- Nice tables, CTAs, and threes (a type of formatting) added automatically.
- A memory system that stores notes from each article so the AI gets better over time.
- Ability to switch between different AI models like Qwen 3.8, GLM 5.2, Kimi K3, or GPT 5.6 without losing the system.
- Publish to multiple websites (Julian uses five) to increase your chances of ranking.
These features work together to create content that ranks quickly and keeps improving. The skill contains about 100 rules, including optimization principles and examples of what worked or what could improve.
03How to set up Qwen 3.8 Max for free
- Go to chat.qwen.ai and create an account if you don't have one.
- Select Qwen 3.8 Max from the model dropdown (it's free to use).
- Write a prompt that includes your target keyword and a case study (your own experience on the topic).
- Paste a skill that describes your brand voice, formatting rules, and CTA requirements.
- Either generate the article directly in Qwen or plug the same setup into an agentic operating system like Julian's.
- Publish the content to your website (or multiple websites) and monitor rankings.
If you want more automation, you can use the API version, but it's not required. Julian notes that doing it manually in Qwen is more time-consuming but still works. The key is to include a case study because that adds information gain that AI-only content lacks.
04How to use the system for fast rankings
In the episode, Julian walks through a real example. He had a case study about Permise v0.20, a new AI model that just dropped. He grabbed that case study and pasted it into the agentic operating system along with the keyword.
The skill then generated a fully optimized article with internal links, tables, CTAs, and a personal voice.
You can do the same thing manually in Qwen: put the keyword and case study in the prompt, then let Qwen write the article. The skill is what makes the difference—it trains the AI to write in your brand voice and include specific elements. Every step of the optimization process is covered, from title writing to description formatting.
Julian also emphasizes using multiple websites. He publishes to five different sites for each keyword. That way, if one site doesn't rank, another might.
He also suggests repurposing content on LinkedIn or Reddit, because those platforms can rank on Google's first page too, giving you more slots.
05Results and tests from the episode
Julian shows real results from his testing. One website went from zero clicks per day in September to a record high of 105 clicks per day. Another website gets 224 clicks per day with the system.
All these websites started from zero—they were new domains with no traffic.
He also notes that the system works consistently over time, not just as a short-term trick. He's been testing since November of last year, and all his websites show steady growth. Even a small website with an exact match domain, not a big brand, went from zero to hundreds of clicks per month.
In the specific example, the article about Hermes v0.20 ranked #1 in 7 hours, above Google's AI overviews. Julian also shows that the system can rank on Reddit directly, taking multiple spots on the first page of Google, which can influence the AI overviews.
06Tips, limits, and mistakes to avoid
One of the biggest mistakes is not adding a case study. Julian stresses that your own experience creates information gain, which is a key ranking factor in 2026. If you just let the AI generate content without your input, it won't stand out from what everyone else is publishing.
- Always include a case study to add EEAT and uniqueness.
- Use multiple websites to increase your chances of ranking.
- Set up the skill with clear rules—vagueness leads to poor results.
- Don't rely on one AI model; be ready to switch as better ones come out.
- Publish on social platforms too, not just your own site.
Julian also warns that the system is only effective if you actually implement it. He mentions 207 pages of reviews and wins from community members, but says results come from using the system, not just having it. The process is non-technical for most people, but you need to follow the steps consistently.
07Who should use this Qwen 3.8 Max rank method
This method is for anyone who wants to rank faster without spending a lot of time or money. Qwen 3.8 Max is free, and you can use the manual method if you don't want to pay for an API. It's especially useful for SEOs, content creators, and small business owners who want to compete with bigger brands.
Julian shows that the system works for websites starting from zero, so you don't need an established brand. It also works for ranking on social media, which is a new opportunity for many people. The system is designed to be non-technical—most users don't know how to code, but they can still get results.
The key is to add your own experience and create information gain. If you're willing to write a quick case study and let the AI handle the rest, you can see rankings in hours, not weeks. This matters because in 2026, content alone isn't enough—you need something new and valuable.
08Where to get the full Qwen 3.8 Max system
If you want the complete agentic operating system, Julian offers it inside the AI Profit Boardroom community. You can get the zip file, video tutorials, and daily updates. The community also includes full courses on Qwen 3.8 Max, Kimi K3, and other AI models, plus four weekly coaching calls.
Julian also offers free SEO strategy sessions at Goldie.agency. On those calls, you get a personalized game plan, learn link building strategies, and see how to take a website from zero to thousands of clicks per month. The system is available for immediate use, and he updates it daily.
Whether you're a beginner or experienced SEO, this setup lets you create optimized content in one click. The memory system in Obsidian (which is free) helps the AI learn from each article and improve over time. So the more you use it, the better your results become.
