I stg Claude Opus 4.6 has been lobotomised recently. Even on high effort, it's like GPT 2 years ago

@henry_purchase Should definitely do a post about how you rebuilt the onboarding/reasoning behind this. We have something similar

Churn hit 16% at my SaaS. Nearly 1 in 5 customers leaving every month. Rebuilt the onboarding from scratch. 3 months later: 6%. Before AI, that audit took 14 days. Ran the same process last week in Claude Cowork. One hour. Fix the first 7 days before building anything new.

I just found the new organic affiliate meta I don’t see anyone pushing AI content this quality organically I made this AI UGC video in no joke 30 minuets (not including generation time) You can literally run up millions of views with videos like this pushing to brands and make 20k - 30k a month This is my exact play I’m going to run to get to $30k a month with 1 IG page using this content style > Make an IG account for a gut supplement brand offering me $2k retainer + commissions > Generate insane creatives like this with a consistent character hitting pain points, highlighting problems and teasing the solutions to them > Run a many chat comment funnel and send them a free “acne gut health guide” including my affiliate link > Also have link in bio to clean up extra conversions Honestly affiliate game is on easy mode right now

Acquired Podcast ad revenue by year: 2020: $0.2M 2021: $0.8M 2022: $2.5M 2023: $5M 2024: $8M 2025: $12M 2026: $16M+ (sold out) 2027: $18M+ (sold out) 2028: $25M+ 2029: $38M+ They only run 8 episodes a year. So wild. Media is the new moat. Distribution is all that matters.

holy shit anthropic just revealed Claude Mythos, a brand new model thats already found 1000s of high-severity vulnerabilities across major operating systems 🙂 they're releasing a new claude opus model POWERED by mythos imminently but look at this shit: - mythos found a major bug in a 27-year old firewall operating system used to secure organizations all over the world - mythos found a way to chain vulnerabilities together to take over entire computer systems, something elite hackers could only do. they are NOT releasing the full mythos model because its too dangerous fucking hell lol. anthropic is committing $100M across 40+ partners to battle-test security systems with mythos before releasing it to the public cyber-security AGI is apparently here

@henry_purchase Exit

My SaaS exit made me 7 figures. A single email cost me $350k. I built the exit checklist I wish I had before selling. Reply "Exit", and I'll send it over.

@gregisenberg @sebastianvolkis

sequoia put out a blog post called "services is the new software" look at this map of over $1T in services being replaced by AI agents

@pierreeliottlal @sebastianvolkis

Affiliates have generated $60,000+ for Gojiberry.AI in the past few months. And the best part: - We never promoted the program. - One affiliate alone is bringing in $6K+ in new MRR every month. The downside: some affiliates are bidding on our own brand name, but we’re tolerating it for now.

@andrewxroas Nah, recommend removing it lol. for your quiz funnels, do you do free trial/$1 trial or just hard paywall? We're building quiz now for MRR and interested to hear your ethos behind how you build them

@matthewuncut got it, i misunderstood and thought you're recommending that setting my bad

are we serious??

@andrewxroas You wouldn't, we never do, my point is they add this targetting in automatically and force your winning adsets to suddenly start targetting existing customers, even if it's always been a prospecting campaign

@matthewuncut Why would you want it to target people who are already customers though? still not rolled out here but I'm using normal exclusions

@lukasenECOM @andrewxroas They’re slowly rolling it out, keep an eye out for it. On adset level

@matthewuncut @andrewxroas That setting doesn’t even show up for me?!

@joshdgavin @sebastianvolkis

No matter what you do B2C customer buying lowticket info can never figure out how to click one link to login to what they bought. Then they spam you calling you a scammer since they can't download what they purchased. No matter how simple we make it.

@henry_purchase @sebastianvolkis hitting lil close to home

built a SaaS to 40k+ users across 103 countries with 0 paid ads the problem with paid isn't that it doesn't work it's that it works just well enough at first to stop you fixing what's actually broken by the time your whole business depends on it, you've got no inbound, no organic, and no word of mouth. just a bill that gets bigger every quarter

@scaling_shields @sebastianvolkis

seen this firsthand my mates uncle supplies paper napkins to 800 restaurants across the costa del sol €11M last year from napkins, a warehouse, a van and a phone met him at a bbq in marbella last summer looked like a retired PE teacher polo shirt sandals drives a 2019 volkswagen i asked my mate what his uncle does "logistics" "what kind" "he delivers napkins and paper towels to restaurants" i laughed "hes worth about €8 million" i stopped laughing later that night his uncle started talking "we buy napkins from one factory in valencia. €0.003 per napkin. we sell them to restaurants for €0.01. thats a 230% markup on something people blow their nose with and throw in the bin" "but the real money isnt the margin. its the reorder" every restaurant orders napkins every week without thinking about it "we have 800 restaurants. average order is €180/week. 52 weeks a year. do the maths" 800 × €180 × 52 = €7.4M plus paper towels toilet rolls takeaway containers and cleaning supplies €11M total i asked if restaurants ever switch suppliers "why would they? its napkins. nobody has a meeting about napkins. nobody puts napkins out to tender. the chef calls me on monday like hes done for 9 years and says 'same again' and i deliver on wednesday" zero churn on a product people throw away without thinking thats the moat "what about competition?" "who wants to compete in napkins? every kid on the internet wants to build an app or start an agency. nobody wakes up and says i want to be the napkin guy. thats why ive had no real competitor in 22 years" i asked why he doesnt scale to other regions "why? i work 4 days a week. i drive my daughter to school every morning. i take august off. i made €11M last year selling things people wipe their mouth with and throw on the floor. what would scaling get me? stress?" he took a sip of wine and said the thing i think about constantly "the best business in the world is selling something nobody thinks about to customers who never switch. the moment your business is interesting enough to talk about at dinner someone will try to copy it. i sell napkins. nobody copies me. nobody wants to" there are families all over europe running businesses like this invisible boring printing while everyone fights over the same saturated markets trying to look impressive online attention attracts competition obscurity attracts profit

"It always seems IMPOSSIBLE until it's done" @ImpossibleHQ

@andrewxroas Can you speak more on your funnels you’re running ads to for MRR and pricing? We solely sell yearly plans through webinars via ads and really want to get into the MRR game through ads as well

Indie hackers will study growth playbooks meant for companies targeting $1B valuations and think that's something they should use to get to $10k mrr lol
