@recap_david Newsletter

I know a guy running a $2K/month local newsletter business with 4 AI Agents. It's called 'Spokane Pulse" and has 7,400 subscribers, 47.5% open rate, ~11% CTR. Here's how the agents work: → A Growth Engineer agent scrapes every local news site, subreddit, and event calendar at 6am daily. It also manages all the Facebook ads for the subscriber growth → A Content Director reads the database and writes the weekly newsletter in his voice → A Sales Director handles every inbound advertiser — email back-and-forth, package pitching, AI-generated ad creative → A CEO agent orchestrates all three and reports back to him The result: a real local media business that runs like a company instead of a stack of cron jobs. This business is live and real (you can check it out yourself (link in comments) If you want the full course giving away the exact blueprint, do this: Like this post + Comment "NEWSLETTER" (must be following so I can dm) I'll send you the complete course and the city-by-city playbook — see video below.

hot take: grok is the most honest LLM out there (and the best at providing constructive feedback). try asking it to roast your business idea. it can get super sassy dont tell me I didnt warn you.

@emeeliojohann it's gonna get better soon. Take care, Emilio. we'll still be here later

I am sorry everyone 😞 I have wanted to be more active here on X but life has been too much. Engagement of my account is GREAT and I feel I need to give back to many of you but I am a bit burned. Wife was injured at work months ago and I have had to do a lot more around the house—AND we homeschool our son on top of everything. I am the only one working and making $ while I still am working on building my iOS apps. I just wanted to thank you all for the support and my way of giving back is by posting the best content I can. Let's keep moving UP 🛫 Our moment is coming...

@JacobCounsell gotta put in a bunch of bets to get a winner. this is great advice. with AI, it's also more achievable solo. Would you suggest for someone to just stick with one ICP? and try out multiple products for them or better to diversify that too?

I once worked for an internal incubator, the goal of the incubator was to have 3 products in the market at all times. If one doesn’t hit a certain threshold of users pivot or kill it. But ALWAYS have 3 products on the market! They sold 4 apps while I was there. This is the only way to win! I see way too many founders who have one product that’s getting zero traction, they’re not iterating, they’re not pivoting, they’re not messaging people… They’re just complaining about distribution.

@_aaronpaul25 Pls send the bonus

Glam Up hit $1.8m ARR in 8 months. Sprout hit $3m ARR in 7 months. The key to that was our UGC playbook. I'm finally dropping the playbook and lowkey I'm scared to drop this. You'll understand why once you read it. It's gonna be three parts but here's part 1. Part 1 itself is 40 pages long. I made sure it's tactical advice and upfront with no BS. Bonus: repost + reply 'warmup' and I'll DM you the Account Setup + Warmup module from our internal creator course. Must be following so I can DM. prep-ai.typeform.com/to/X7g0nh6E

No matter how much you test, there will always be: something that can be improved, a bug that that was left unnoticed, some feature that could have made it stickier but ship it anyway. time is better spent letting your customers tell you what they want 🤙

@jackfriks @marclou So the price is for lifetime membership but if i dont ship on 5th month then my membership’s gone?

i made an app that feeds you to the sharks if you don't publicly launch your own product in 30 days. no more of this: "dude i just 100x'ed my workflow with this new AI model"... meanwhile... 0 projects launched 0 revenue 0 users 100 x 0 = still 0. it's time to go from 0 to 1. it's time to: SHlPORDIE.COM 🏴‍☠️. ship a new product every 30 days until one changes your life or... DIE, in the app, and get kicked from the community forever while being publicly humiliated. no refunds for those who fail to ship. custom trophies to be collected for those who succeed. if you DO ship, you also get to remain in a community of people who actually ship things and get users ++ revenue. sidenote: i'm really excited to see if this can be the push someone needs like how @marclou's shipfast project pushed me and is the entire reason i have a $35K MRR solo operated SaaS now and many other successful mobile apps GLHF, DON'T DIE, and KEEP GOING!! i've never taken a launch this legit so let's see how it goes :)

@amanobviously Trylull.com it’s a sleep coaching app. Launching soon

Despite all the facts presented, somehow the naive optimism of builders prevail 🙃 we tell ourselves that it's the reps that count and maybe it's just nice to have something to look forward to or aspire to hit in any case, happy building and growing!✌️

@kedytcom Would you say that ASO is largely overlooked?

Localization is actually insane 🌍📈 Just watching my keyword rankings move today: 🇺🇸 US +60 🇨🇭 Switzerland +83 🇩🇪 Germany +41 🇳🇿 New Zealand +62 🇫🇷 France +8 🇨🇦 Canada +8 No huge ad budget. No Apple feature. No viral launch. Just: • localized metadata • translated screenshots 🎨 • ASA testing • ratings & reviews ⭐️ • weeks of consistency Most indie devs underestimate how powerful global ASO can be

@justinhammon_ @RoleNavigator I wish i knew about this when i was looking for a remote job years ago!

I’ve been working from home since 2012. Since before it was cool. When I was laid off last winter, being home didn’t feel any different. It felt like I needed to work, and that’s exactly what I did. I built @RoleNavigator to do all the sucky parts of the job search.

popular opinion (maybe): X is the best place to get comfortable being cringe. You post your raw thoughts… most of them flop. You keep showing up anyway - partly to keep the algorithm happy, partly because you’re trying to build something. You do this long enough until one day… you genuinely stop caring what people think. weirdly, that’s usually when people actually start paying attention. At least that’s what I’m telling myself lately. #BuildInPublic

solving a problem you have > building what's trendy/sexy

@acadictive just curious, what made you quit?

1 year ago, I left my 9–5 job after 14 years in corporate. Since then: ❌ failed products ❌ no stable income ❌ expensive lessons But also: ✅ real growth ✅ real freedom ✅ real audience Haven’t made it yet. But winners are usually the ones who refused to quit.

I’ve noticed something lately: The more I try to do (multiple AI agents + multiple screens), the worse my cognitive function gets. All the context switching destroys my focus. So I made a change: Single-threaded work. One screen only. And honestly… my output and clarity have improved. Sometimes less is better🧘‍♀️

@joshuapalassis somehow, even if there's like 100000 tools out there for video editing, there's no tool that's super fun to use. still feels like a chore lol

Video editing is equal parts annoying and fun… just me?

@kzitouni1 agreed. just need that consistency day in, day out.

you can just - start an account on X - publish 3-4x/day - do 30-40 comments/day - meet and be friends w/ cool founders - grow by 1400 follows in 8 weeks if you don't quit and eventually turn it into a distribution machine best platform ever.
