🚀 Launching my tiny, boring, humble little micro-SaaS today 🥺 (I'm joking. I hate when people do that) I built a feedback widget in just over a week. Here's the thread 🧵

@tibo_maker Backlink

I can get you 400+ free backlinks 💥 you just need to register on the right platforms - directories, startup listings, community profiles, review sites, niche aggregators, etc most founders know at most 10 of these they stop at Product Hunt & Crunchbase, and call it done 😬 I have 400+ of these all you need is one focused weekend to get a meaningful DR boost and more chances of getting ranked and mentioned by AI 🚀 comment BACKLINK and I'll send you the full list 👇

We launched our new version of ClickGuardian on UNEED today, would really appreciate some upvotes 🙏 uneed.best/tool/clickguar…

@damengchen To be fair, theirs nothing new here. There’s been wrappers over AWS SES for years. I remember back in the day of Sendy 🤣 Definitely a great thing though.

Used mailcheep.com to send a broadcast campaign to 16k contacts, and it only cost $1.66 from my AWS bill. ✌️

@blvckledge audit

sharing our internal Google Ads audit process + checklist these are the exact checks we run to help 7-8 figures brands diagnose and scale their spend used it on hundreds of accounts. it covers: → conversion tracking → gmc setup → targeting → campaign structure → bidding strategy → landing page → campaign setup inside, you’ll find everything you need to find what's broken and fix what's costing you money want the full thing? like + reply “audit” and i’ll dm it over (must be following)

Adding Competitor Comparison pages seems to be pretty standard these days but does anyone offer a way to submit a correction? Not seen it before.

@pbteja1998 @saidheeraj_96 That’s great. We are just launching Convultra in Beta and considering doing the same or at least some interviews to try get some feedback early.

@dandotio @saidheeraj_96 Just in the initial stages. We now know what the gaps are, to make it truly self serve. We are working on it.

I now know the meaning of the word "suffering from success"... This is what happens when you go from 0 customers to 150 paying customers in a week... My brother (@saidheeraj_96) has also started taking some of the MissionControlHQ.ai onboarding calls now. He is doing a much better job than me... so I gave him even more calls to take 😅

Anyone using sms/whatsapp marketing for their saas outreach? If so, do you have much success with it?

@VadimStrizheus If using paid ads, make sure you have proper conversion tracking.

As a founder, what’s the best way to accelerate your startup? 1. Paid Ads 2. UGC 3. Organic content

With @cursor_ai I keep getting trigger happy and when clicking Run on a command, then click Cancel straight after as thats what the button changes to 🫠

Anyone else doing something like this with .cursorrules to keep track of features you'er build. You can then go on to building your docs site from this @leerob @cursor_ai

@helloitsolly If you do do Paid Ads, make sure you have proper conversion tracking in place if you’re spending that kind of money.

I want to spend $120,000 on marketing $20,000/month over six months This will be my biggest ever marketing bet at Senja But I want to scale from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 ARR and need to take bigger bets My brain is telling me to try and scale something measurable - meta ads, Google Ads, cold outbound But my gut thinks I should focus on the hard work of building relationships with power-users and influencers of our ICP Less measurable, slower to ramp-up, but a genuine opportunity to find and persuade the right people to use Senja, and get to success This work would then act as the foundation of future marketing activity But I'm torn What would you do? #BuildInPublic

Loading Animations using @claudeai, pretty handy! Just dropped my SVG in the chat and told claude exactly how I wanted the animation to go and boom! Done! Downloaded straight JSX and integrated into project.

Day 2 Building an AI Agency Website using AI Prompts in public 👇 First i'm going to over to @claudeai and write a prompt outlining my plan for the website, what I want it to look like, the build tools I would like to use, rough menu system etc. and ask for a concise design spec.

@ShipAloneCEO Yeah I love that idea! Definitely going to give that a try, thanks for sharing.

@dandotio Yeah, that void feeling is so real. What worked for me was going narrower than felt comfortable, one ICP, one pain, one channel, and treating it like a distribution experiment for 2 weeks. The noise gets quieter when the message is sharp.

With every new SaaS launch, the excitement is real! 🎉 But let’s be honest: how do you break through the noise in a crowded market? It often feels like shouting into the void.

@andrealbts Thanks Andrea. Yeah, for sure! Also some kind of accountability too.

@dandotio Love the clear plan. Starting with a solid structure is key. Keep building

Day 1 Building an AI Agency Website in public: The aim is to have the following on site: - Home / Landing Page - About Us - Services - - - Service A - - - Service B - - - Service C (plus more) - Blog (Blog Content using PSEO) - Contact Us - Form Submissions Want to go from nothing to traffic using using mainly prompting. The must be editable / maintainable using cloud agents, so either Claude Code or Cursor Cloud Agents

Going to try build a full AI Agency / Consultancy website using only AI prompting (apart from a little config maybe). This will include all content, forms and being remotely editable/managed too. NOT using any CMS like WP or Payload etc either. Follow along.

I agree, traditionally it can be difficult. We’re building Convultra (server-side conversion tracking) for Paid Ads and we have domain linking built in for this reason. It’s as simple as listing your sub domain and your sessions are linked for attribution and full user journey etc.

If you're a solo founder, and you love yourself, move your app from: → app․example․com → to example․com/app Attribution is already incredibly difficult. Using a subdomain for your dashboard makes it 3x harder.
