Every cold email tool makes the same mistake. They keep emailing people who already replied. So when I built GridMail, I fixed it. The moment someone answers, the whole sequence stops. No more "just following up" after a yes. Here's what that looks like 👇

@TerekhinIvan fair point. over-optimizing for keywords can absolutely tank it. the 700 you got "by accident" was probably real content solving a real problem, which is the thing google actually wants. intent beats optimization

Congratulations! Your site reached 700 clicks from Google Search in the past 28 days! Cannot say, that I'm focusing the SEO for my apps (at the moment) but I see some traffic for sure!

@QuentLaBrute @Anto1nx exactly. the right builders find you back way faster when the reply actually says something. quality is basically a filter for the people worth knowing

Rare on X to see a builder take the time to genuinely explore and think through another builder’s work before commenting. Huge thanks to @QuentLaBrute for the thoughtful, constructive feedback, this is exactly the kind of conversation that helps us build better 🙏
Quentin@QuentLaBrute

@Anto1nx honestly great business, your customer base would have no clue it’s an AI wrapper, and extremely good pricing as well imo. What happens when the customers google page is quite poor and not well populated?

@IAmPascio every escape from a monoculture just builds a new one, because the people who leave the same thing tend to arrive at the same place. the freedom is real, the sameness just follows you

The trap of "location freedom" is that you end up in a city full of other location-free people who all talk about the same tools, read the same books, and attend the same coworking spaces. You escaped the corporate monoculture only to replace it with the digital nomad one.

i know several people in their mid 30s that got one-shotted by nomading and are starting to be really depressed about it here's the problems they are facing: > a lot of them would actually love to start a family > EVERYONE Is single though, often for years or even decades of situationships > optionality both human wise (relationships etc) and location wise has made it impossible to commit to anything > there's a constant feeling of the grass might be greener (leading to no grass at all!) > all of them moved around multiple times a year for 10-20 years > all of the nomad places (bali, KPG etc) are dominated by people who are there only for a couple of week/months a year > a lot of my friends have a lot of people they "know" but almost 0 true friends (because friendships actually need a lot of time spent together) > and because all of their friends are also nomads, everyone is always on the go so it's incredibly hard to build depth in any relationship > most of these "friendships" feel very intense in the moment but amount to 0 over a couple of years because you simply never see most people > if you want to start a family, when you're hitting mid 30s it suddenly gets real that you might miss that traind entirely (some of them are starting to be really depressed about this) > this is more true for women, but let's face it most 30-35 yo woman also don't want someone in their 50s or 60s so the window is also closing rapidly for the men > most of the nomad lifestyle is also antioptimized to be family friendly > you could say that being a nomad longterm really is anti-optimizing to make starting a family more likely > most nomad places are also predominantly inhabited by people in their 20 or early 30, once you outgrow these cohorts a mismatch starts to happen (people either become manchilds or start feeling totally disconnected) > btw, it's TOTALLY fine not wanting to start a family or have roots at one place. all i'm saying is many of these peopel thought so too in their mid 20s but then missed to adjust their lifestyle to what they really wanted: deep friendships, roots and eventually a family > let's be realistic, a lot of relationships go to waste so even if you're "only" 30, that's basically just 1-2 relationships go wrong before your become infertile (as we women). it happens fast as fuck! also you don't want to start a family with someone you just met, so you also need to include at least 1-2 years of living together before you make such a decision > friendships & relationships are assets that compound over time and it's very very hard for most nomad to actually get to that point. i'm not saying it's impossible but it's just what i'm seeing with people I know > I think a great solution is to take some of your nomad friends and actually start a co-living project like @levelsio does. > it's totally anecdotal, but I just wanted to remind everyone to rethink if you're lifestyle is actually aligned with your long term goals. and no, you don't have all the time in the world. things take time. use it wisely. btw. I also traveled a lot (and still do by most people's standards)! i totally get why people love this lifestyle. but it's so important to understand the downside too

@arvidkahl the "repeat narratives keep working" point applies way past podcasts. you feel like you're repeating yourself long before your audience has heard it once. the overlap you're sick of is new to most people

Podcasting is such a fractured medium. Guests tell the same stories over and over again, yet every time they appear on a show, a new audience is exposed to them. This even works within a podcast... people join the audience at random points, so repeat narratives keep working!

@sobedominik hosting providers "restructuring pricing" always somehow means your bill triples. bandwidth and custom domains being the cost centers is the part people never plan for until the email lands. brutal timing

great day for getting "semi rug-pulled" by your hosting provider. my server hosting costs for HelpKit will almost triple (2.6x) or !4x if I'd pick their suggested equivalent plan starting tomorrow. the biggest costs are bandwidth and custom domains. this is not the end of the world, i get that companies have to increase prices from time to time but calling it "Better pricing..." makes me believe they think I'm stupid. i don't like that. inb4 there's way cheaper alternatives regarding bandwidth I'm aware. it's just not as simple as it seems behind the scenes. def considering my options though.

No new feature this week. Just made the core one bulletproof across every inbox type. Boring work, but it is the whole difference between a good demo and something people trust with their inbox.

Reply detection sounds trivial until you actually build it. Gmail OAuth, threading, auto responders, out of office bounces. The "stop the second they reply" promise lives or dies on this one unglamorous problem.

Spent this week on the least glamorous thing we do: making sure we catch a reply on every inbox, not most of them. If reply detection misses even once, our whole promise breaks. So that is where the week went.

@Tristanrhee3 UGC is just word of mouth with a camera. the brands sleeping on it are the same ones who thought reviews didn't matter. real people vouching still outsells any ad you can buy

@kylegawley every "new moat" take is just people rediscovering distribution with extra steps. product quality gets you kept, distribution gets you found. it was never the other way around

@pixclipper "sit right next to it" is the positioning most people miss. you don't beat the incumbent on their axis, you win a different feeling they can't be bothered to serve. this is a sharp framing

@pbteja1998 @MCHQ_AI customers turning your tool into their own agency is the strongest signal there is. when people resell what you built, you've priced it too low and nailed the value at the same time

I was talking about this with Tibo the other day. We started seeing very interesting use cases of people setting up MissionControlHQ.ai for other businesses and charging for it... They are already a customer of @MCHQ_AI - they like using it so much they started inviting other businesses to use it and are even going ahead and setting it up for them...
Tibo@tibo_maker

just found out about a new way people make $10k / month it's high effort, but low risk and imo, safe from AI ruining it > some people are setting it up @MCHQ_AI for local businesses as non-tech businesses, they have no idea how to start but once they see it, they feel the value we're talking of hair salons, renovation companies, and other physical businesses that are still pretty far from the AI world they sit with the owner, look at how the business works, then move the repetitive parts into Mission Control: - new enquiries - quotes - scheduling - follow-ups - customer updates - admin they pay for Mission Control, customize the setup, and charge each client around $200 to $500/month to run it 10 clients and this starts adding up fast. 20 clients and you're close to a $10k/month business. for the local business owner, the setup can remove enough manual work to avoid hiring another employee for the person setting it up, it's recurring revenue tied to something the client can clearly see and understand i didn't expect this use case to appear this quickly very impressed by what people are building with Mission Control HQ if you're already doing this, send me your setup. I want to see the weirdest local business workflow you've moved into it
