1/8 Launching TruStats today 🚀 Founders spend too much time explaining traction. Screenshots. Spreadsheets. Manual updates. “Can you send the latest numbers?” We built TruStats so you can stop explaining your traction and send one live, verified link. Or embed a single code on your website to show the live verified metrics and convert more visitors into customers. You can check it out at Trustats dot live

🧵 9 I'm now taking on 3-5 clients who want a lead gen asset like this built for their niche. No retainers. No strategy decks. A scoped sprint - you get a working site that ranks and generates inbound leads. Comment your niche, or what you do + your business website. I'll tell you if there's a directory idea worth building for lead gen. A directory that generates you lead for a lifetime without having to spend monthly on ads - The ROI is self-explanatory in the long run.

🧵 8 This isn't really about customs brokers, though. It's about the directory as a long-term lead gen system. The model works for any industry where: → Professionals are searched locally → No dominant directory owns the space → There's structured data available to build from There are hundreds of wide-open niches.

🧵 1 6 weeks ago, I launched a website. $0 ad spend. 0 backlinks. 0 domain rating. Today: ~80K impressions on Google. 870 clicks. 11 real business inquiries from people ready to pay for a service. Built solo. In under a week. Here's the full playbook to build a directory that gets organic traffic and generates leads for your business 🧵 thread continued...

Yes, it is for starters. I vibe-coded a directory site, used every 5-hour session to the fullest throughout the day, and exhausted the weekly limits in just ~5 days. Built customsbrokerindex.com a month back, and it getting organic traffic and inquiries already. So that $20 was well spent. However, now that I am progressing with multiple websites and projects ~12 or so, I had to switch to the $100 Claude plan. And ironically, the project I am working on now seems a bit complex to develop and deploy, definitely needed Claude Max Plan. But the projects are not getting many users, so not sure what my $100 investment would look like in a month

Is $20 Claude plan enough to vibe-code entire SaaS?

@JiteshGhanchi, I was looking at Reddit marketing tools and came across your project @ReplyGain I couldn't figure out whether the TrustMRR number hasn't been updated ($29 from 1 user) or whether the "Join 112+ founders" mentioned on the website is correct. I was willing to try the product, but this difference has put me in a dilemma.

@dramaricic I can tell you that, based on the results, I am driving for one of my projects, which I literally launched 45 days ago.

I don't think one can just answer your question without doing an audit? One needs to know the answers to the following points before guiding you in the right direction. Otherwise, it is just random suggestions that won't help you. Infrastructure - CMS or Custom Built, Frameworks used. Content Strategy - Topics and Titles covered, Posting Cadence Keywords Research - Volume, KD, TP, and Comp kws. Last but not least, the backlinking strategy.

Any SEO experts here? How to do proper SEO? Cuz rn, mine sucks.

@SilverTaza Yeap directory as a GTM is very underrated

@cannyceo Directories are super attractive for companies indeed. Everyone wants cheap marketing!

Oh yeah we're going up

@karankwr @1Umairshaikh The product looks solid, and from the looks of it. It seems you already have users and paying customers as well. You can try embedding our widget to showcase verified stats and convert website visitors into customers.

@1Umairshaikh Central, agents to help run your business - trycentral.com tell me if it sucks? the positioning still kinda does but the product's pretty goated

What are you building this Sunday? Drop your project URL Let's promote it

@dramaricic @1Umairshaikh interesting how are you bringing in new users?

@1Umairshaikh Hey builders, I have perfect tool for you product demos. Zoomr: zoomr.tech For devs who ship fast, record product demos fast anf ship under 5 minutes.

@apoorvjain25 @1Umairshaikh interesting, who is the target audience is it indie founders, solopreneurs or B2B only?

@cannyceo @1Umairshaikh It creates the whole action (be it drafting an email or making a presentation, etc) and waits for you to approve for final execution.

@chatwithevi @1Umairshaikh cool, sounds interesting. Do you have users already?

@cannyceo @1Umairshaikh to be an assistant that actually remembers context and gets things done inside your chats, not another tab you have to open.

@TimAllard @1Umairshaikh Also do you show metrics like users or website visitors etc on your website, TruStats can help you show those numbers on your website that should built trust and prove your traction there by increasing the conversion.

@cannyceo @1Umairshaikh So far it’s organic and through posting like this, I haven’t tried ads yet, but need to start

@TimAllard @1Umairshaikh I read that ads do not necessarily give you lot of ROI from the POV of signup. Impressions and like but signup I haven't heard about that. I wanted to try ads myself but not sure. Let me know if you try ads and see some results.
