@jackfriks @postbridge_ @supabase Yup, see this a lot, likely under $500/mo if executed by a professional. And not only that, also significantly faster, less prone to outages, and overall more user friendly.
English
my solo business @postbridge_ is at $35,000 USD monthly recurring revenue (MRR) = ±$48,000 CAD for my canadian friends and me
here is main breakdown of major costs to run atm - i'm wondering if i should focus on decreasing at all... maybe im overthinking it.
@supabase database and storage = $860/month
@vercel web hosting = $130/month
@triggerdotdev backend processes = $400/month
@unkeydev API management + backend host = $250/month
@X API = $250/month
other smaller recurring costs = $60 /month
. . .
TOTAL INFRA COSTS = ±$1,950/month
profit margin on gross revenue = ±94%
net profit margin after stripe fees = ±88%
my AI bot says dont focus on cutting costs btw, but my frugal self still dreams about no monthly big bills for some reason
jack friks@jackfriks
revenue grows but so does infra costs, new highs all around and my frugal mind still worrying about costs going up 30% when revenue is up 300%... so silly. this is my DB + storage bill, may switch to R2 for storage as 80% of this is pure egress cost on image and video files

@natmiletic Being first is a big fat zero. I only started offering hosting five years ago and I'm at a point where I feel like once you know, you can pretty much start and operate any business and succeed. Which is also why so many experienced entrepreneurs preach an abundance mindset.
English
OpenAI missing revenue targets while Gemini and Anthropic eat into its market share is a great reminder that being first doesn’t mean you’ll stay first.
English
@jackfriks If you haven't done this your going to get taxed at an insane rate in Canada. And tech. your not paying yourself 10k, on paper it's the full amount you earn (40k+) if not prop. separated into corp.
English
@grantmucha yes i should 100% open an account under my corp too so i can pay myself same and not sit on so much cash
English
amazing starter pack for wealth but don’t forget about the booster packs you can create out of thin air by making things people want and charging money for them

@jackfriks reasonable for canada, wife and I each take 10k
> everything else, straight to investments
your young, your future self will thank you repeatidly over the next 20-40 years
English
@grantmucha i get about $10,000 as pay a month after taxes personally
English
@jackfriks Damn, this shouldn't even be a struggle at your stage.
English
@grantmucha my auto deposit is $0 personally atm
yes it should be a lot more - still working personal payout balance VS new found income growth
will setup high autodeposit after wedding

Defines every single influencer online from fake SEO advice, investing strategies that'll bankrupt you, and endless marketing. Learn to focus on abundance, passion, and do your own thing. And I'm proof of sorts, two years back I switched from external focus (heavy socials) to internal focus (none), reverting all energy to appreciative clients and the result was mindblowing. Peace combined with two years of record setting growth.

This is why there is no point arguing with strangers on the internet

Two price increases in a year!
I still don’t understand why anyone would pick Webflow over WordPress.

We're simplifying our plans, and updating pricing to match what modern marketing teams need. The web is changing faster than ever, and AI is making it easier to build, manage, and grow content-rich sites. We've heard from customers that they need better ways to scale, so today we're announcing updates that do three things: - Simpler plans and updated pricing. We’re introducing a new Premium Site plan by combining the CMS and Business plans. As part of this, pricing and limits are updating across all paid Site plans. - A plan for fast-growing teams. Introducing the Team plan, an all-in-one offering for teams that have outgrown self-serve but aren't ready for Enterprise. It unlocks capabilities previously unavailable on self-serve, like AEO agents, page branching, single-page publishing, publishing workflows, and so much more. - AI as the foundation. We’re introducing AI credits and including them in every Workspace plan, so all customers have built-in access to the latest AI features they need.

@TheVigilLetter @Jason Had the same thought, dumps 1M into company, gives away one.
English
@Jason Jason, you’re giving ONE away? Come on man. Step that up a bit for the people! 😂

@natmiletic Referrals, care about quality and helping people and it's a never ending.
English
What's actually bringing agencies new clients right now?
Cold outreach is getting harder. LinkedIn inquiries don't come in as often. AI slop is everywhere.
The agencies I see growing in 2026 are leaning hard on two things: local SEO and referral partnerships.
English
@nico_jeannen 99% of my business flows through referrals. And I have a theory, the people you want to hire are actually busy working, and they're not selling, spamming, or pitching anyone anything. And life's pretty fucking great when you actually just get to do the work.
English
Im never hiring ppl from X again 💀
Tried hiring motion designer for a video for a 30s video
> Found someone on X who shared nice videos
> Slightly more $$ as other quotes I received, but portfolio looked good
> I want to be easy to work with, so I pay in advance, no hard deadline, trusted him to do its job properly
Result:
>0 communication, have to babysit every little thing
>garbage result I can't use
> ok maybe instructions not clear enough?
> Sent exact mockup of what I needed
> Still didn't follow what I asked for 💀
Lesson learned lol, I'll use Fiverr/Upwork next time
The bar is so low, why can't people just do what they paid for?
How do you find people who can actually do their job and follow instructions? 🥲
English
Google just killed FAQ schemas.
If your SEO strategy depends on features that Google can easily deprecate, you have a dependancy, not a strategy.
English
@scheemunai If you know you know. If you don't then you suck. Applies to everything.
If you know you've likely invested years to learn and every new business you create is amplified.
English
would you rather make $100,000 a month with a team of 10 or $30,000 solo?
i would and have chosen the second option but curious if others who follow me feel differently

@WearCoby19733 You get rich, if you invest said cashflow in assets.

@sudoingX Almost bought one of these, this thread backs up my decision NOT to perfectly.
English
for the last few weeks i kept dodging the "is the dgx spark worth it?" question because i did not have one to test. now i do, and i can give you the real answer.
it is an absolute workhorse. cranks 56 tok/s on a 30b model at q8 with full multimodal + tool calls on hermes agent, eats long prompts at 1,300 tok/s prefill, holds 256k context without breaking a sweat.
128gb unified memory unlocks model classes nothing else in the consumer tier even tries.
low maintenance, silent, sits on the desk and works.
if you can afford it and you are serious about local ai at the frontier consumer tier, this deserves a slot on your desk.
one of the rare pieces of hardware that earns its price the moment it powers on
Sudo su@sudoingX
a week with the dgx spark, here is what is on it and what i have measured so far. nobody is really talking about this machine and it is quietly becoming the workhorse of my whole stack. hardware: nvidia gb10 sm_121, 124 gb unified lpddr5x at 273 gb/s, cuda 13.0 models on disk (305 gb total, 9 ggufs): > qwen 3.6 27b q4_k_m / q5_k_m / q8_0 / ud-q4_k_xl > nemotron 3 omni 30b-a3b q4_k_m / q8_0 / ud-q6_k / ud-q6_k_xl > deepseek v4-flash 158b q4_k_m (112 gb, flagship 128gb-tier test) terminal + shell environment: > zsh + oh-my-zsh + powerlevel10k theme > modern cli stack: bat, eza, ripgrep, fd, git-delta, tldr, neovim, fzf, autojump > 6 tmux sessions actively running for parallel agent work ml + agent stack: > llama.cpp built sm_121 against cuda 13 > uv + venv ml stack with pytorch 2.11.0+cu130 (aarch64) + transformers + diffusers + accelerate > hermes agent v0.11 with codex auth bridge > opencode for free-model overnight research > telegram gateway routing to nemotron q8 right now speeds verified so far: - nemotron 30b-a3b q8: 56 tok/s gen, 1,300 tok/s prefill, 96% gpu, 33gb in unified - qwen 27b dense q4: 40 tok/s consistent 90+ gb of unified memory still free. deepseek v4-flash 158b loading next as the real flagship test, multimodal omni testing once mmproj pulls, comfyui install in flight for the diffusion lane. honestly curious what the actual limit is on this box, i have not hit it yet.

"I built a site in 2 hours with AI" posts are missing the point entirely.
Nobody's arguing AI can't generate a website. It can. The question is what happens on day 31.
Your developer is busy. Your marketing manager wants to update the homepage hero. Your content team has three blog posts ready to go.
Who's touching the site?
If the answer is "we have to wait for a developer" that's not a website problem. That's a business problem that isn't solved by AI.
This is exactly why WordPress still powers 43% of the internet, not because it's trendy, but because it works for real teams over the long haul.
A few things AI-generated sites quietly can't do:
Look like you.
Vibe-coded sites and no-code tools recycle the same layouts. Your competitors are launching the same "site" with different colors. Custom WordPress builds don't have that problem.
Hand off cleanly.
Any developer on the planet can open a WordPress project and know exactly what they're looking at. Try that with someone else's AI-generated codebase.
Let non-devs take the wheel. WordPress was built around the idea that content people — not engineers — run websites. That's still true.
Scale without starting over.
E-commerce, memberships, multilingual, complex integrations — there's a plugin or a pattern for it. You're not rebuilding from scratch every time requirements change.
Keep you in control.
Your data, your hosting, your codebase. No platform deciding to change pricing or deprecate a feature you depend on.
Speed to launch is a metric. It's just not the most important one.
The sites that win long-term are the ones people can actually maintain, update, and grow — without the whole thing becoming someone's full-time job.
English
@scheemunai I guess we'll see. I definitely agree, the bottom half, likely the vast majority of DIY perhaps.
English
I agree with most of what you're saying. And thanks for sharing.
I'm not worried, I sold my WebDev agency 3 yt ago.
My bottom line is - I predict WP reached its peak and will decline in % share of websites it powers from now on.
Maybe we can come back to this post in 3 yr and see if that was correct.
And I'm not saying WP will become irrelevant over night, even if it drops from 43% to 30% its still powering some unfathomable amount of websites.
Good chat! Also followed, and enjoyed the conversation 🤝

Real business owners are BUILT DIFFERENT, they focus on what matters.
I get paid $249/mo to host and manage WordPress sites for local companies, that generate 1 million plus per month. They spend more on coffee creamer in a month, than hosting.
Jelmer de Boer@jelmerdeboer
Why would anyone still use Wordpress for anything?
English
If you're fam with the WP eco-system, my suggestion, focus on business and growth.
Anyone DIY, WIX, etc. are not our intended clients (certainly not mine) and thus irrelevant to the converstation.
I have none of the gripes you have.
- I use AI, zero issues
- huge sites, many with Woo
- many with display ads
Works flawlessly
- yes with caching as it should
- yes with security (WAF, DDOS, etc) as it should
- none of your complaints surface
I've had zero real issues for 3+ years now, maybe longer. At this point I've had owners with zero support tickets in 4+ years, meanwhile owners make money, grow their business, and refer us.
ICP > intended customer profile
> it's impossible to compare customer types (mindsets), DIY of any type, often broke or zero cash flow vs real business owner
> AI or otherwise, anyone attempting to DIY anything with zero knowledge or experience is in for a lot of pain regardless of eco-system
And for this exact reason, real owners aren't building random plugins with AI to jam into their business.
> last thing on the planet they want to do
> efficency/time better spent elsewhere, if not business/growth, then family
Entire converstation changes based on type of customer you're actually targeting, their mindset, and what they they genuinely want.
followed, good convo, if your worried in general, focus on cashflow, invest, grow wealth, while trying to ignore the influncers and flood of nonsense :)
English
I get everything you're saying.
I've been using WordPress since version 1.5 and built a 50-person WordPress Agency back from 2013 onwards.
I also agree with AI slop argument. If you just give Claude Code to non-technical founder, it will likely not end well.
In the teir of customers that just install a pre-made theme and slap up a bunch of plug-ins, Wix and WP are still a good choice.
At the same time, WordPress just isn't built for AI world. Its footprint is way too large. 100ms ttfb only happens when heavily cached. As CMS it's bloated. UI sucks. Database structure isn't scalable. And so on...
I know it's hard to educate clients, I educated 100s of clients they should use WordPress back from version 3 when it introduced custom post types... and they shouldn't build a custom CMS (which was quite popular at a time), or go with Joomla (for obvious reasons).
And I know its still early days - there will at some point be a version of Agentic AI friendly custom codebase that will allow founders to talk to AI and their website + content + SEO will come to existence in agentic way... while not being able to f**k up security or build a bunch of slop.
But that's where I think it's heading.
WordPress became extremely popular due to ecosystem of plug-ins, which might be crumbling when anyone can create a plugin in a few hours + users can create their own easily too. Who's going to support that when nobody is willing to pay for it. Then WP ends up being slop, not unlike custom AI generated solution, just much more bloated...
Nuanced topic.
