frey

@VinodNarain Yes I do! There’s a calendly where you can book time with me on my website (in bio) 🙂

@freychu Hello Frey! greetings from Singapore. been fan for some time and just been watching your vids and following you for the last 1-2 years. I would like to know if you offer 1:1 sessions?I want to run through an idea with you from a planning /tooling (using claude code) POV. Thanks

> Build cool projects that genuinely help people > Have random people go out of their way to offer help/valuable feedback > Improve the product > Product helps more people Why do I feel like this is a lost concept nowadays Btw this happens all the time. it’s pretty much the dopamine I need to keep going

@RiseJustWins @dotcomrealty Not yet, but I’m going to make a vid on how I built it soon 👍

@freychu @dotcomrealty Yo Frey, do you have a tutorial for building a dashboard like this? I am actually subscribed to your YouTube channel but I think I might have missed it

I think my 4-day old (rebuilt) plasma directory is already generating thousands of dollars in lead value 👀 Was curious how many website visitors were actually turning into plasma leads, so I built this analytics dashboard. It tracks a bunch of stuff, but mainly who completed a lead action, AKA: • clicks ‘visit website’ on a listing • calls the center’s phone number • clicks gets directions Quick napkin math. Today 36 plasma donors made a lead action. Cost per click for plasma is probably around $5-$10 (plasma centers run tons of Google ads). So 36 x $5 CPC = $180 daily lead value $180 x 30 days = $5,400 monthly lead value But like, I’m not Google ads. All my traffic is wayyyy higher intent so a $5 CPC seems low. Might be closer to $10-$20 CPC. I could be generating like $10k-$20k a month in lead value which is kinda nutty. All this to say: if I’m gonna sell featured listings, I’d probably want to charge $500/mo per center as a starting price So far the data is proving that my directory is leading to new customer acquisition. If I can pull this off, could be a nice little directory business! Will be breaking down this site in a yt video tomorrow ✌️

Yeah qualified leads in this space looks different. It’s not a lead submission form that helps me qualify them, which is why when I pitch I’ll be emphasizing lead actions which are people who visit plasma websites, get directions or call a plasmas phone - all from a specific listing So far this is the best way to track leads because the action implies intent to donate plasma Basically same as Google ads, except my visitors are inherently higher in intent

@freychu Are these users considered as qualified leads? Center won’t know if user might actually turn to customer, how do we justify “leads”?

@dotcomrealty Had this directory for 1.5 years. Was a sitting duck but was already driving 3-4k/mo organic visitors Rebuilt in Claude code. Launched on March 1st. Posted on Reddit. And couple days ago built this dashboard and here we are!

@freychu Nice. How did you do it? Instant traffic, site development, monetization?

@fabianschierz All proactively!

@freychu Do you have CTAs on your sites asking users for feedback or do they contact you proactively?

@ppcguru Mainly link inserts & link swaps from referring domains pointing to big plasma centers Also have some ideas for articles/data heavy blogs that are organically shareable

@freychu What are you doing for link building and authority on your directories?

@bschm0622 I just used Claude codes built in page view tracker! Was actually pretty amazing. Thought I’d need to rely on GA4 or Vercel’s analytics or something but nope, all just Claude code

@freychu Nice work! What analytics provider are you using?

@randyLunetto Not really, I’m pretty much fully migrating them over to a nextjs build with Claude code and detaching from Wordpress completely when I do!

@freychu @freychu as ur using claude more, have you used claude yet to modify or extend any of your existing wordpress sites?

I built a plasma donation directory on Wordpress over a year ago that low-key sucked. It didn’t do anything useful. Only made like $2k in the last year and a half. I dug deeper into the niche and realized I’m solving the wrong problem. People who donate plasma don’t have issues finding plasma centers - they have issues figuring out how much $$ plasma centers pay their donors. So I rebuilt it with Claude code and launched it yesterday. The new focus is to crowdsource plasma price data. Gasbuddy ($10m+ directory) but for plasma donation. Made a Reddit post this morning and its poppin off. Already got 58 crowdsourced pricing reports. It’s so freakin niche but it’s a massive consumer need in a $30B market. It’s still an SEO play, but now it’s also a “make this so valuable people share it organically” play. My last YT vid explains how I’m crowdsourcing data + creating incentives Short-term monetization plan: display ads Long-tail monetization plan: create a very high-ticket offer where I sell data back to plasma centers. Or featured listings.

@itschrisray Agree. So many niches where people want/need price transparency. Crowdsourcing properly works best for specific kinds of niches that have a consistent stream of return visitors. I’m sure they’re out there, just gotta dig around 👀

@freychu Love the concept. Been following you with this project for a while now. Very interested in the crowd-sourced data category. Seems like a potentially much more lucrative project type than just a pure directory site. Wondering what other projects like this are out there… 🤔

Woke up to 107 crowdsourced price submissions. All within 24 hrs and 1 Reddit post. Exploring more Reddit posts + FB pages today

@badchefx I created a lead magnet saying “subscribe if you want to know the highest paying centers” and 1300+ people joined in a short period of time I didn’t even have the data, it was just a test lol. Had 7k/mo organic visitors at the time and that proved the value

@freychu Love this pivot! 🚀 How did you validate the new direction before rebuilding?

@SebulbaCrypto Depends, Adsense is good cause it’s as passive as it gets. But there’s a real ceiling for earning potential. Subscriptions are harder to pull off but more reliable mrr if you can do it!

@freychu Yeah makes sense for this particular niche, but for other markets is AdSense > Membership Dues?

@CichyKrzysztof Not sure, feel like I’ve talked about this one a lot lately in the vids 😅

@freychu When new video about it?! 😁

@SebulbaCrypto Challenge is the majority of plasma donors are doing it cause they need money quick so they’re already super price sensitive. For that reason I think a b2b offer is where the moneys at

@freychu I love the method of thought here. Do you feel like display add are superior to membership fees?

@mhp_guy Always down 🙌

@freychu i need you back on the pod!

@RayFernando1337 @openclaw @RobertHEubanks I just spent 3 hours setting up openclaw using this guide and setup my first Claude skill 🙏

@freychu @openclaw Also check out this guide from @RobertHEubanks open.substack.com/pub/robertheub…

Saturday night shenanigans as a non-coder finally seeing what @openclaw is about I have too many projects and a list of things I’ve been wanting to streamline If you’ve played with openclaw, lmk your favorite youtubers/educators/tips 🤝

@ppcguru @openclaw Don’t know enough yet to answer this but found this from the guide I’m following for the vm vs. Mac mini

@freychu @openclaw Why a Mac mini? Vps is fine
