6 years of building funnels taught me this: even great offers fail without strong social proof. Collecting it is a manual, painful process. So I'm building the solution I always wanted: @superproofco Time to make social proof effortless 🚀

@AslhyGoodn5342 @mizbuganon @AskPayPal @PayPal Nope, none of that!

@mizbuganon @itsbryanchan @AskPayPal @PayPal Did you have any bill or rent bill to pay for

@AskPayPal I run a registered Singaporean business with 0 chargebacks. My account was permanently limited for "risk." I offered full legal docs and backend access to our platform to prove we're fully compliant, but was denied. Can a senior underwriter please help?

@thejustinwelsh Start and refine along the way. Experience gives clarity which beats confidence. Confidence is overrated

The people making real money aren't more intelligent than you. They just started before they felt ready. Waiting for confidence is an easy way to waste a decade.

@MarketerSamm @thejustinwelsh Facts

@thejustinwelsh Longevity is the real hack. Most people quit right before momentum compounds, then call it bad luck. The shortcut is surviving the boredom that kills everyone else.

Everyone wants the shortcut, but the shortcut is doing it longer than everyone else.

@thejustinwelsh The "shortcut" is often the way that wastes time. The real shortcut is going the distance. It's challenging, requires discipline, and time, but it gets you there in the shortest time.

@thedankoe We have shifted from "proof of work" to "proof of leverage." This is 100% true in marketing, too. "Hard work" = spending $10k on ads to get more traffic. "Effortless" = spending 10 minutes to split test a headline, which doubles the conversion rate from the same traffic.

@marieforleo My filter is simple: "Is this feedback from someone in the arena, or from the stands?" One is data. The other is noise. This helps me stay 100% focused on my goals.

Just because someone says something about you doesn’t make it true. Stay focused on what matters — the people you love, serve, and respect. 💗 How do you protect your peace when criticism hits?

@AlexHormozi "Never take criticism from someone you wouldn't ask for advice." The doers are too busy in the arena to be talking shit anyway.

There are two types of people in this world: 1) Those who talk shit 2) Those who do shit You won't receive the first from the second.

@russellbrunson That's a massive full-circle moment, Russell. From student of the magazine to being on the cover. As a fellow funnel builder, it's inspiring to see the journey. Huge congrats!

Today was jam-packed with agency work and preparing for an event I'm speaking at next week. Zero build time for @superproofco. Instead of feeling guilty, I squeezed in 2 podcasts from SaaS founders in my niche during my breaks. My "build" today was 100% strategy (gained some great insights on positioning & marketing channels). Even if you can't build, you can always learn. Progress is progress, no matter how small.

@Pauline_Cx You just need 1 fan to begin building a tribe. Happy customers bring more customers.

One stranger signs up One stranger pays One stranger recommend you That’s how profitable businesses start.

@thejustinwelsh This is the core difference between: Building yourself a high-paying job (like a demanding agency) Building a scalable asset (like a SaaS or digital product) I've lived both. Learning to build the asset is the only way to get your life back. Well said, Justin.

Your business should give you more life, not become your life.

@marieforleo @anastasiasoare That's an incredible full-circle moment. A powerful reminder that the things we consume and the people we look up to shape the future we end up creating

@rahulluthra22 Everyone is chasing the flashy $10k product launch. They don't see the boring $25k/mo retainer that comes from 3+ years of just doing good work and building connections. This is a masterclass in compounding. Thanks for the share

My story to $60K/mo is pretty boring. But that's why it worked. It started with me working for SWEAT (#1 female fitness app). I had a steady income, but I felt I could do more work, so I started freelancing on the side. I landed a few projects through Instagram, and my income was at $25K-$30K/mo. During the time at SWEAT, I made tons of connections that led to a few long-term clients. This is where my MRR actually exploded to $30K-$40K/mo. Once I finished with SWEAT, I became a contractor for this indie design agency in Australia. The work we did was amazing, and they recommended me to my biggest retainer today, AGL. I got in, did the work, and they loved it. They decided to keep me on a $25K/mo retainer. Few long-term clients and AGL compounded to a steady $60K/mo. Of course, some months I make more because I have short-term projects on top, but that $60K/mo has been stable for years. It's a pretty boring story, but it shows why boring is even better. Tons of designers want a flashy, quick success story, but often taking the 'boring' path leads to better results. Work in those in-house roles, build on the side, make connections. A 'boring' story isn't bad if it works.

@oranahh Huge milestone. Congrats on 4 years of freedom. I'm on Day 4 of my own SaaS build and I feel that exact same spark. It's a totally different kind of energy. Love this perspective. Thanks for sharing the long-term view.

Today marked the last day at my 9-to-5 ... 4 years ago. I walked away to build my own thing. Living off savings, passive $, and other creative ways to bring in income. Walking into the SaaS world 97 days ago has lit a spark that's burning even stronger today. F* it. You can just quit.

What does a non-technical founder's build in public journey look like? A lot of respect for the devs here shipping code. My "build" is a bit different. My all-nighter this week wasn't fixing a bug. It was agonizing over the sales page copy and design for @superproofco. My "superpower" isn't python. It's copy, branding, and sales calls (thanks, agency life). My "capital" will be coming from pre-selling 30 Founder's LTDs to fund the actual dev work (and in the process validate the idea and gather feedback). I'm feeling a heady mix of excitement and fear (I know this problem inside-out but I'm building a SaaS when I don't know how to build lol). It's a huge skill gap, but I know what I have to do. Any other non-tech founders here? How are you making it work?

@hunterjisaacson Interesting take. Great ux sets you apart from the rest and create advocates

Most founders obsess over marketing Few obsess over user experience UX is marketing Make people feel something worth sharing

First build in public post. Today’s wins: 1. Posted my first big thread on conversion advice 2. Building out @superproofco landing page (will be done in the am) 3. Followed and engaged with 50 inspiring founders It’s not MRR, but it’s progress. Shipping something everyday is the real work.

@GrammarHippy 200iq move. we really don’t need the lake or ocean. the pond often has more than needed.

Hobby business is how I made most of my marketing career. More than $30M in sales (with an average of 50% profit or so). Here’s the general idea: Most marketers try to compete in ultra-saturated markets. Like moneymaking and health and relationships. Instead… I go to niches that literally sometimes have no competition. Think hobbies. Think hobbies that you would NEVER think could make any money. For example? “How to make pickles at home”. Sounds ridiculous. I know. Thought so too. That pickles course sold more than $300K at 50% profit with no upsells. And that’s one of the least successful courses. The good ones make 7 figures each. And now (while still running those courses myself) - I also teach a small group how they can do it themselves. From scratch. They come with no idea. No creator. No niche in mind. And the cohort ends with them getting sales PROFITABLY on cold ads. And now I wanna “speedrun” a new hobby cohort to have participants ready to scale when 2026 starts. The reason? The beginning of the year is the time people want a “fresh start”. New Year’s resolution kinda thing. So they take up more hobbies. Plus e-Commerce brands are “resting” after scaling Black Friday/Christmas. So the advertising costs are a lot lower. Low advertising costs + High buyer intent = Very profitable ads. Anyone who’s interested is welcome to send me a DM :)

@SaidAitmbarek How were you using the 6months?

the real MVP isn't your prototype. not even product-related. it’s your ability to survive $0 rev for 6 months didn't hook up Stripe for half of last Y. prove you're willing, then go build the startup.
