This is how I make $100k+ a year selling on Amazon without touching a single product. a thread 🧵

My evergreen POD products are selling well right now. But Mother's Day is about a month away and I still haven't found a winning product for it yet. The challenge now is managing time between scaling what's already working and testing new products for the season. Hope I find the winner soon.

If you have an existing business, the way to make more money with AI isn't building something new. As a solopreneur, here are the 2 highest ROI moves you can make right now: 1. Use AI to replace things you're already paying for Especially monthly subscriptions. If you're an ecom seller, build your own simple Shopify app instead of paying for one. If you're a SaaS founder, use AI to migrate your SaaS to Hetzner. This alone saved me $25,000+ a year. That's like adding $2k MRR without selling a single thing. 2. Use AI to automate your daily workflow and replace employees For me as a POD seller: creating designs, uploading products, launching ads. As a SaaS founder: building content systems to promote the product. Don't build something new until your existing business is lean and running on autopilot.

Last week I rotated ALL my energy into just 2 things: - promoting my print on demand products - improving BlogneticAI (Claude Code handled the dev side while I focused on POD). Results: - POD revenue up 98% - BlogneticAI now produces way better content So I’m doubling down on both. For POD: launching more products focused on Mother’s Day + scaling the winners. Goal is $1,000/day. For BlogneticAI: fixing the Shopify connection (private apps are getting deprecated) then finally starting to promote it. Everything else gets pushed to later months. Lesson: energy is like a horcrux in Harry Potter. Split it into too many pieces and it loses its power. Keep it concentrated.

added another agent to BlogneticAI this one does a final check on the content before it auto-publishes to Shopify. fixes broken links, schema, alt text, meta desc and more fully hands-off content machine for ecom

@ericsmith1302 That's awesome. Hope the customers stay for months, and you still make good recurring revenue, and the ad costs go down. Thanks for sharing!

$3K MRR on the project launched last month 🚀 Here’s what the last 30 days looked like: Revenue: • $7.5K Expenses: • Stripe fees: $776 • Facebook ads: $2,690 • AI models: $3,331 • Misc: $180 Profit: • ~$523 🤦‍♂️ A good reminder that the impressive revenue charts you see on X usually say very little about actual profit margins. That said, I’m not worried. With every project I’ve built, margins have improved over time as marketing compounds and fixed inefficiencies get ironed out. Right now, AI models are one of the biggest expenses for this project. But now that I know it’s worth investing in, I can focus on optimizing for cheaper inference. Facebook ads are the main growth driver at the moment, but as the project grows, I expect channels like SEO and word of mouth to carry more of the load and improve margins. Next steps: • turn up Facebook ads • push harder on SEO and organic growth • reduce AI model costs Most importantly, this is more of a fun side project than a major profit engine. After 8 years of building solo SaaS, I’ve learned that enjoying what I’m building is one of the most important ways to avoid burnout.

Customer entered wrong address. Item returned. Asked for some costs to reship. Got told it wasn't their mistake. Some days you just shake your head and move on 😂

@levelsio hi

Okay let's see who can reply to this

building in AI feels like speedrunning irrelevance

Ever since Clawdbot was born, I feel like there's a new tech breakthrough every day lol

Just spent ~20 mins with Claude building a custom order tracking page for my Shopify store. Used to pay $29.99/mo for an app. Now it's $0 forever. If you're using AI, don't just chase new ideas. Start by cutting costs in your existing business first. Easy wins compound fast

coding in 2026

@ravikiran_dev7 never enough if you use chrome 😅

As a Developer, how much RAM is enough for you? 1. 8 GB 2. 16 GB 3. 24 GB 4. 32 GB 5. 64 GB 6. 128 GB+

good day 😋

@seree let's go FAAN!

@ifourth It’s time to celebrate from xxxxxx!

spend hours trying to signup for microsoft purview. still can't make it. fuck microsoft UI

imo, the best way to grow any online biz is using paid traffic + email. organic traffic is too slow and relies too much on search engines.

I still use it everyday 😂

what i always wanted to do in print on demand many years ago, claude just makes it happens in a day. now let drive some traffic to it!

what stop you from building like this
