@VadimStrizheus that's right plus you can actually do it alone without VC backed up.

if you’re between the ages of 18-25, you’re living in the best era right now. > Hermes Agent > Claude Code > Codex all you need to build a $100M startup.

gdhdbdjscbskjddj!!!!! submitted just 2 weeks ago, didn’t expect it to be so fast!

@andi_losing that's great brother keep posting

I just started posting my app content on Instagram and my first video hit over 2k views it’s the first time one of my videos ever got over 1k views :)

@cinamarina Thats right keep going

My first app isn’t working as expected. Conversion is harder than it looks. Instead of giving up, I’ll figure it out and adapt. The key: don’t quit.

A client messaged me at 9 PM on a Friday. I replied by 9:05. Booked the call Monday. Closed Tuesday. Speed is a superpower.

Closed a $41,500 deal this week by answering 3 questions a client sent me directly. No pitch deck. No sales call. Just answers. Know your stuff.

The best clients I have ever had never asked for a discount. The worst ones asked on the first call.

Hot take: most software agencies are just project managers with a Fiverr account and a nice website.

Your competitor is not a bigger agency. Your competitor is your client's nephew who said he "does websites."

Every founder who says "we just need a simple app" has never shipped a simple app.

ServiceTitan charging $600/month to a 3-person HVAC company is the same as selling a Boeing 747 to someone who needs a pickup truck.

Upwork is where good developers go to get paid badly and bad clients go to feel like they are getting a deal. Nobody wins.

The reason your app failed is not the developers. It is that you spent 3 months on the logo and 3 days on the requirements.

I've closed deals in Pakistan, UAE, and the US. The pitch is different. The problem is always the same: Nobody trusts you until you act like you don't need them.

The clients who pay the most ask the fewest questions. They've been burned before. They just want someone who does what they say.

Software agencies that charge by the hour are legally stealing from their clients. Fight me.

@KCodes7777 That's great. I've been seeing your strategy would love to get more advice :) I am kind of working on a babe niche.

1.8M views on my pregnancy niche page This is what 30 days of consistency looks like → 1 post a day → Posted at 12pm → 6 second video (pexels.com) → Long caption (ChatGPT) → Viral sound (IG viral sound library) That’s it No complicated strategy No expensive ads Just a repeatable viral format Free marketing guys

@EvanYadegari That's great..

I’ve never seen this many sales in such a short timeframe. This used to be my quarterly allowance.
