200 days ago, I started posting to the void on X to get distribution for indie SaaS apps. Stopped coding for a while to focus on content and got 265k followers on Instagram and TikTok. Biggest lesson: if you have the courage to document a major life transition, that’s the most audience exploding content there is. Coming back to indie SaaS now to see how well “distribution-first” really works.

writing my life timeline for content ideas and realized: thought I'd never get an internship → American Express thought I wasn't smart enough for Google → got in thought I'd never quit → quit thought nobody would care → 250k followers identity has not caught up at all.

@YoniSmolyar Protein never tasted so good

i love greek yogurt

@0xThomasValera Yoo appreciate you being an og Thomas 🙏

@jimrtang Been following you on IG since ce the beginning man, it’s been amazing seen it happen for you. Congrats you legend 👏

"Dream job" at Google. Making $350k at 27. But I was depressed. So I quit without a plan. 5 months later: - 240k followers - 25k newsletter subs - $22k revenue - $15.5k first brand deal Here's my story of building an audience from zero (and how you can do the same): 🧵

@im_roy_lee Collective consciousness is evolving

a very interesting side effect of social media: gen z/alpha’s behavioral norms look radically different from older generations > hyper-oversharing of personal life > collapse of professionalism > high tolerance for "inappropriate" humor

When I started on X, I got 1 like per post. Before I gave up, I dm'd an ex-Big Tech creator asking if building an audience was even worth it. She said it was the highest leverage thing she's done. Today, I can't agree more. If you enjoyed this, follow my journey @jimrtang

My experience and growth across platforms: IG likes stories (+190k) TikTok likes "raw" (+37k) YouTube likes thumbnails + titles (+4k) Threads+LinkedIn easier for new accounts than X (+10k total) Email list grows from valuable freebies (+25k, 50% open rate)

@asyncr0ne haha it's already happened - I'll lyk if I ever join a company so you can sell before

@jimrtang Tell me when you leave Korea, I’ll invest in the Won

Is it a coincidence that since I left Google two months ago that the stock went up by 25%? You’re welcome, Sundar.
