early traction from building a personal brand

@JakeClayChain Jake! I've been meaning to message! Check DM :D

@KayZizzle screaming

@gizmothegizzer @neflorious jessijean.com/doorsclosed it's closed for now tho!

@neflorious @KayZizzle mentioned this group that does it

Duolingo but instead of language lessons it forces you to post a piece of content Who’s building this?

@mattgittleson Dm'd a few questions!

Today we're introducing the Claude Fable of UGC Agencies. HardLaunch has driven $1M in MRR, 1B views, and actually shows your product in videos so they convert. A new era is here. This is utterly unprecedented.

another incumbent takes the reins. the AI race was never about building the best wrapper. it's about who owns distribution, who has the richest contextual data, who makes onboarding effortless, and who creates the highest switching costs.

@henloitsjoyce yay!

O-1 visa renewal came in today after 2 months of losing sleep over it 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

As part of @solflare's recent restructuring, my time with the company has come to an end. I'm officially a free agent and looking for my next team. I genuinely believed I was building something at Solflare that I'd spend years helping grow, so this chapter is bittersweet. When I joined them, I rebuilt the content function from the ground up. I implemented processes for social, helped shape the brand voice, hired and managed the social team through multiple stages of growth, and partnered across marketing, product, business development, and the Solana Foundation to bring ambitious ideas to life. Owning content strategy and creative direction on 𝕏 through some of the company's biggest moments was an incredible privilege. I never saw this as just a marketing job. I saw it as helping tell the story of one of the most important ecosystems in crypto. Within my first few months, I went from producing content at Solana Summer House in Los Angeles, to speaking on stage in Boston, to representing Solflare on Wall Street for a bell-ringing ceremony, to becoming one of the most public faces of the brand at Breakpoint. It was a gift to represent a team, founders, and community I truly believed in. A few things I'm especially proud of: • Lead Solflare's brand takeover at Breakpoint '25 • Produced the inaugural Community Awards at that same Breakpoint in Abu Dhabi • Served as a public-facing spokesperson through content, livestreams, interviews, and community programming • Helped redefine Solflare's voice on 𝕏 through a more human, grass-roots approach • Led experiments like Beyond Speculation, an eight hour charity livestream demonstrating how crypto rails can drive real world impact • Hired, mentored, and empowered teammates who made all of it possible To everyone I worked with, founders, marketers, engineers, PMs, support, leadership, creators, collaborators, and partners, thank you so much. You made every launch, campaign, livestream, event, early morning, late night and 65 hour work week possible. You've left a lasting mark on me. I'm proud of what we built. If you're building something ambitious on Solana, or creating something that pushes culture forward, I'd love to talk. I'm also open to freelance and advisory work while I figure out what's next. I'm grateful for everyone who trusted me. My work on Solana is not done yet. Onwards + Upwards. - M P.S. I want to give a VERY special shoutout to the team I worked with most closely every single day: Kamil, @SatoshiTriangle, @leClop_sol, @devmajesty, and @solquicks. You guys are badass and we were the sickest socials team in crypto. Full stop. Love ya'll.

@devmajesty I shouldn't be allowed to see this 🙈

turns out, the secret to looking good in photos is being loved by the person behind the camera

@DrRebekkaRevel YAYYYYY

oh hello gm i have a life update

BREAKING NEWS: I cry a lot let it be known🤷‍♀️

A friend of mine matched with guy on Tinder. They scheduled a date on the 14th. The guy just canceled it so that he can spend more time with Fable 5 right after this announcement.

the next thing I knew I had been at Target for 4 hours

A Chinese IG user based in Malaysia stumbled upon my new IG account and inspired me to record my first ever video in Mandarin. Fun fact, the first time I recorded a video for social media, I was in Shanghai, but I spoke English the whole time. It was my 2nd year back in China after over a decade in New Zealand and the US, and I was embarrassed by how childish I sounded in my mother tongue. The video was a Rap of China reaction video that went viral on Bilibili (China's Youtube), but the amount of people in the comments section that talked about how I look really freaked me out and made me not want to be in a video again. And if you notice, even for Chomp, I was more comfortable hiding behind a costume, or hyping other people up instead of making the content about me or what I do. Until now :) It took a long time, and a lot of encouragement from people I trust, for me to be in front of the camera like this. And this time it's different because instead of talking about something else, or someone else, I'll be talking about who I am and what I'm building. Because for the first time, I'm launching something for everyday people. And if I want you to trust what I'm building, I need you to know me first. (Also, being my own creator saves money 😅)

@ashen_one @merlaiapp Not sure if I should root for you or for the charity 🤣

I failed myself and my app. So I must publicly humiliate myself into locking back in. A few months ago, my second ever iOS app was successfully accepted into the iOS store ( @merlaiapp). It's a wrapper, just like many others you've seen on Twitter, but I pride myself on it being a pretty wrapper that is a bit easier to use than other apps. It is still a wrapper, and that's totally fine. But the point of this and the problem that I'm sharing here with you guys openly isn't that I made a wrapper. It's that I made an app and then failed to follow up on the most crucial part of the app: distribution. Just like I say constantly to you guys, whether here on Twitter or YouTube or TikTok, making the app is easy, but the marketing is the hard part. It seems I have failed to listen to my own advice, because after I launched the app I basically just forgot about it and just let it rot I then wasted hours on random useless updates that people never even ended up seeing, because I didn't focus on the most important part: the distribution. (So how tf was anyone even supposed to see it???) My excuse is that I got busy with other stuff like moving and my other content, but that's an excuse, not a reason. There's always time in the day to work on what you're supposed to be working on, which should be my app that I spent so many months perfecting (even though perfection is fake, as I tell people) But, that's my excuse. Not a good reason. Every day I make three TikToks talking about how you need to stop planning and start doing, and how distribution and marketing are far more important than the actual app creation. Yet I failed to take my own advice time after time. Well, that stops today. Moving forward, to keep myself honest, every single day on Twitter and TikTok, I will post an update as to what I did that day to get more users on my iOS app. Not random bullshit fixes or tweaks that I made to the already complete app, but stuff I did to try to get users on there to pay for it and to make me money instead. Something that I should have been doing for the past three months. Every day that I fail to provide an update, I will donate $20 to charity. This account for the past like six years I've been full-timing it has always been a place where I openly admit to mistakes and never act like I know everything. Me sharing this humiliation ritual with you guys is a way for me to publicly lock back in and a way for you guys to roast me if I fail to do that. My goal by the end of the summer is $2,000 MRR. If I don't reach that, then I failed. Failure is totally fine, but it's not acceptable to take the failure without at least learning from it so let's begin I'm currently at $120/MRR so I need to basically 200x this number over the next three months in order to not publicly fail and humiliate myself Let's do this. Bismillah.

@KayZizzle 😭😭😭

If you work in marketing and you aren’t desperate for attention, you should be fired
