I built an AI system that automates product video creation for entire e-commerce catalogs. (Saves ~$30K per collection shoot and boosts on-site conversion rates by ~20%) Here’s how the automation actually works: → Firecrawl scrapes product images directly from any e-commerce collection page → Google’s Veo 3.1 generates realistic model videos showing fit, movement, and drape → Each video begins and ends on the original product image for perfect looping → Videos are auto-named, organized, and stored in Google Drive → Everything runs in batch—no manual work while it processes The result: fashion brands can showcase every SKU with video, not just hero products—and engagement jumps immediately. Static product photos aren’t enough anymore. Shoppers want to see how clothes move before they buy. If you want the full blueprint, do this: 1️⃣ Like & RT this post 2️⃣ Follow me (so I can DM you) 3️⃣ Comment “FIT” I’ll send you the full n8n workflow, all prompts, and a step-by-step setup video—for free. No more $30K shoots. No more guessing if your product pages convert.

Love this. But to reach this stage shouldn’t we have strong institutions, regulations and good infrastructure to begin with?

#FactoriesNotHouses The most effective method for alleviating poverty among our populace is to invest in the construction of more factories rather than costly real estate that the impoverished cannot afford. How can individuals afford to reside in these buildings if they are unable to secure local employment? Who are we building these houses for?

Small Bets is joining Gumroad! Yes, I sold Small Bets. I’m going to keep running it myself, but Gumroad is now the 100% owner. It’s a good deal for me, and it should only bring more benefits to the community. Details - $3.6M sale price. - 50% cash / 50% stock options. - Cash payment in 2 parts: $900K received last week, $900K in 12 months. - My options vest in 10% increments every 6 months. - I will continue to run Small Bets for 5 years. If I quit, I lose any unvested options. - I will also be helping part-time to make Gumroad better. - I won't take any salary*. My goal is to help Gumroad (the company) become a $10M profit/yr business and make my equity return a $200K+/yr dividend. * technically my state of WA is forcing Gumroad to pay me a minimum wage of $69,500/yr, but I’ll use that to exercise my options. Valuation - Gumroad had already acquired 10% of Small Bets last year for $500K. - $3.6M for 90% = $4M valuation. - Small Bets made almost $500K in profit last year excluding Gumroad fees. Based on 2024 earnings, this sale would represent an 8X profit multiple. Under the Gumroad umbrella, we expect to grow this business to $1M in profit within the first 2 years, which would be a forward-looking 4X profit multiple. Future - I will continue running Small Bets myself as its own autonomous subsidiary. Basically, nothing changes. I still decide what happens there. Of course, that could change in the future but Small Bets has had 41 consecutive cash-flow positive months, and if that performance continues I see no reason for me getting kicked out. - Payment processing is likely becoming a race to the bottom, almost a commodity nowadays. Gumroad wants to be doing more than just payments to remain a valuable business. - The goal is to eventually turn Gumroad into a community rather than just a payment processor, where new and aspiring entrepreneurs get help starting and succeeding with whatever they want to do, even if it doesn’t involve using Gumroad’s products. The plan is still fuzzy, but that’s the direction. Small Bets will act as a laboratory for these ideas. - Small Bets has already shown the value of a support network and how having people with first-hand experience in your corner can help beyond what any AI or piece of software can. We will try to scale this concept further so that Gumroad can help creators with much more than just payments. - And if you’re one of the 6,692 lifetime members of the Small Bets community, thank you so much for trusting me and supporting my project. You will continue to benefit from all the goodness we’ll add following this partnership. Ask me anything!

Starting an agency is tough. The challenges of finding clients, scaling and managing projects can be overwhelming. Isolation is real. Without a supportive network, it’s easy to feel lost and discouraged. We need more than just business advice—we need community.

2023 is officially over 🥳 I made a total of $175k in revenue in 2023 🤯 I had to triple-check to see if it's actually real or not 😅 --------- 2023 was the year when I finally had the exponential growth that everyone keeps talking about. To put this into context, I could only make $11.7k in 2022. So, going from $11.7k to $175k in a year really feels like exponential growth to me. --------- I quit my (relatively) well-paying job exactly 4 years ago. The first 2.5 years were the most challenging time because I wasn't making any revenue. So, it was difficult to keep going, but I knew this was the only way for me. There is a reason why I quit my job. I don't want to ever go back to the traditional 9-5 job. --------- All the momentum I built up in those 2.5 years finally helped me when I launched Feather.so in 2022. I was able to grow it to $2.5k MRR, which is equivalent to what I was making when I quit my software dev job. In 2023, I launched another product – SiteGPT.ai and the same momentum I built up growing Feather helped me here too. It grew to $10k MRR in just 1 month after the launch. I was exactly at the right place at the right time. I want to continue to use that momentum to go even forward. --------- For 2024, I am setting an almost impossible goal. ✅ My goal is to make $1M in revenue in 2024 😅 It's definitely not a realistic goal for me. But I have a small team working with me now. So I am really hopeful that we will reach it. Will have to see how far or how near we will get to this (almost) impossible goal. Really excited for the new year 😀

@nazranf_ Thanks! Yeah, I didn’t do research before developing the app. At least I created some apps that are useful for myself 😂. I hope next year will be better 😄
