Reddit marketing cheat codes every startup founder should know:

1/ Some are saying they’ll always remember the day our Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (aka nano 🍌) was released - that was the biggest thing to happen on August 26th, right?:) Try it if you haven’t yet: gemini.google.com  More from an exciting week:

A great way to learn the fundamentals of AI...

Some interesting Gemini CLI use cases and tutorials 🧵⬇️

Indian builders are CRACKED! 🔥 @LightspeedIndia and @devfolio just hosted an agentic AI hackathon, Warpspeed, in Bengaluru. Here are some of the coolest projects Indian developers created from scratch in 24 hours.

Launching your startup on a new Twitter account will flop. Here’s what to do instead: • Launch on HN, Reddit, ProductHunt, TAAFT, Uneed, TinyLaunch, etc. • These platforms don’t care about follower count • It’s fast and usually free Then: • Share the results on Twitter • Grow your audience • Leverage it for your next launch Winning is how you build momentum.

Don’t do this until you made $10k with your startup: > hire > google/fb ads > redesign > registering a company > outsourcing > more features > refactoring > start a new project > VC funding > events > dark mode > conferences Why:

Loved every second of it! Keep it up!🔥🔥 @meetstef @starter_story

I just went on My First Million and showed how to replace a developer, designer, marketer, researcher, and product manager with AI agents for under $500 (copy my workflow in 55 minutes)

This is going to be transformational! 🔥

How to build your first $10K MRR AI/SaaS web app... ...and become financially independent in 2025: [b2b SaaS edition] Step 1: Pick a web AI wrapper / SaaS idea: • Don’t overthink. Inspiration is everywhere • It's best to base yourself on an existing CRM/software/service that doesn't fully solve your problems • Study mid-size/large-size players to see what others pay for • Verticalize existing SaaS with a twist • Pick a vertical where you have the most expertise • Or one where you're most interested about • One feature from a big CRM can be enough • Big arbitrage currently in custom websites/crms for boring niches • Ship fast, find problems, discover new startup ideas. Keep shipping. Step 2: Pre-Build Distribution: • Start building in public on Twitter/LinkedIn • Start POV build in public vlogs (IG/LinkedIn/Tw/YT) • Warm up ProductHunt account (10 mins a day interacting) • Warm up 2x Reddit accounts (15 mins a day) • Warm up HN account • Ask good friends to create PH, HN, Reddit accs • Post about everything you're doing/building, there is no downside only upside to this • Twitter should be n1 priority but build all the other text social accounts daily. At least 2/3hrs a day • Get an Instantly account and start warming up for cold emailing, good to always have a cold email sequence running in the background • Don't use AI for writing tweets or posts. Only for proofing and as an assistant Step 3: Learn to Code: • Learn just enough to push you app live • Skip uni and bootcamps => watch YouTube / Learn with Chat / Cursor • Download Windsurf/Cursor and start to vibe code ASAP • Build and ship new feature every day • If you get stuck on a bug, go for a walk or a run. • Don't be weak don't give up Step 4: Launch your first SaaS (asap): • Do a 12 apps in 12 weeks challenge • Build in 1 or 2 weeks or less using templates • Hard paywall / no trial / no bs • Find a good .com. Don't be weak, don't go .co or .so • Prompt everything from logo, to assets to LP images. Use AI to the maximum then see how much more you can use it • Forget about your social life, it'll just make you poor Step 5: Distribute: • Tweet 3x a day, comment on every relevant post • Post 2x a day on Reddit • Launch on HN, launch on PH • Learning to go viral is essential, a first boost of traffic will validate on discard your SaaS/AI app • Forget about SEO it doesn't matter unless you already have paid users • Forget about paid ads (they're for the weak) • DM and cold email get the first paid user at all cost • Distribute for a week: if nothing happens, head to the root of your repo and type "rm -rf" Step 6: Iterate • Repeat Step 1 to Step 6 • Don't listen to others "success stories" or take any MRR/charts you see on Twitter seriously, everyone's inflating/lying • You only fail when you give up • Don't give up, you're going to make it Never been easier to make a $10k MRR app with ZERO previous experience and no VC fundings

Wishing you good luck!👍👍

2025 is shaping up to be the "year of AI agents". We've put together a list of startup ideas that we think are especially promising— some draw attention to trends that are already in full swing, and some of them are where we think things are going next. ycombinator.com/rfs

How to get your first 100 users (even if you suck at marketing): You don’t need to be a genius. You just need to be relentless. Here’s the no-BS way to get your first 100 users: 1. Launch everywhere. Product Hunt, DevHunt, BetaList, Peerlist, AppSumo, Indie Hackers, Dailypings, etc. If it allows you to list your product—LIST IT. 2. Post on socials like your life depends on it. One post won’t do sh*t. Do it 100 days in a row. Copy what went viral. Tweak. Repeat. 3. Stalk your competitors. See where they’re listed. Submit your product there. Manually. Or use a tool. Just do it. 4. AI + SEO = free traffic. Spin up blog posts with ChatGPT. 50 solid ones can move mountains. Get that domain rating to 15+. 5. Run some damn ads. X, Google, Facebook... even Bing. Optimize it once, then let it run. 6. Cold DMs / replies. Find your people. Be short. Be real. Be helpful. 1 sentence pitch. No spam. This is how the internet is won. No secret. Just consistent, boring work. And boom—100 users. Then 1000

🤖 AI engineer essential end-to-end workflow 1. use o3 to create a detailed plan 2. create a PRD from the plan 3. use task-master to parse tasks from the PRD 4. use windsurf to generate code to complete the tasks 5. ALWAYS write tests and make sure your features work 6. use repo prompt or *redacted* (sharing more soon) when you run into hard problems that require precise problem solving and large context 7. launch your project on vercel 8. write about it on the internet and tell people how it can solve their problems

Print this out and tape it to your desk. "If you're sitting back waiting for somebody to tell you you're allowed to launch your business and you're qualified enough to make it work, it isn't going to happen. You have to give yourself permission."
