@samuelthompson How do you go about finding urgent pain points to build around?

Entrepreneurship in a tweet. Build something people need. Show it to them. Charge them for it.

@sydnithekiid @samuelthompson Agreed

@samuelthompson the hard part is figuring out what people need

@samuelthompson Everyone needs a little raise all ships vibe, imo. Negativity is a detriment to all, especially those who carry it and wield it like a weapon. This was not AI, just randomness while idle.

Be happy when other people win.

@samuelthompson Plumbers seem to have a much larger moat. I don’t see AI vastly disrupting blue collar jobs in the near future. Coders on the other hand…

My plumber makes more money than most of my friends in tech.

@iannuttall @fredrivett Is Droid your go-to vibe coding tool these days?

I used the droid CLI to plan out a new feature for @fredrivett's here/now hit counter app to add a github style heatmap for user activity by day/hour it's amazing just how easy it would be to continue building this out into a full customised personal analytics tool 🔥

@samuelthompson Makes total sense, and getting the lump sum up front definitely allows for rapid growth via paid avenues. Would you use something like Flippa or Acquisition to find the SaaS products for sale?

@mecx isn't the point of business to continue to feed the sales monster? with this model you would have way more cash to feed the machine vs a traditional SaaS cash conversion cycle its all CAC:LTV, but this model would give you LTV immediately on acquisition pros and cons for sure

someone should start a holdco that just buys software businesses and changes all pricing to one-time only. front load LTV and scale with ads.

@samuelthompson Wouldn’t you have to constantly feed the sales monster to continue to pay for the backend, or am I misunderstanding the business model?

@mecx would probably do usage based on the backend the math doesn't change that much its just a cash flow advantage $30/month with 12 month average customer span = $360 LTV So could i charge $299 lifetime and get the cash month 1 especially on saas where churn is a problem

@ShaanVP Just forwarded to my family. Thanks, Shaan!

new one minute blog: excuses

Looking for a seamless, capable AI coding setup for secure SaaS development. I’ve heard good things about @TraycerAI @coderabbitai and other tools. Anyone have any recommendations for full stack app creation and/or learning material? #aicoding #aicodingassistant #saas

@johnrushx Awesome list - thank you! Have you analyzed the security of each platform’s finished software? Would you be interested in approaching it from that angle?

I've tried all (61 😵‍💫) AI Coding Agents & IDEs [Emergent, CodeRabbit, Anything, Zed, Factory, Cursor, Windsurf, Wrapifai, Copilot, Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, MarsX, Canva, Devin, Github Spark, Figma Make, Cline & more] The most complete list ever made (with demos & notes):

@samuelthompson Free entertainment?

Taking a FaceTime call with your baby mama on full volume in the security line at a crowded airport is certainly a lifestyle decision.

@samuelthompson I’ve been testing ChatGPT’s Agent mode recently to help find pain points in existing SaaS apps and recommend micro SaaS ideas based on the shortcomings. Would you run FB ads to validate the idea, or would it depend on where the ideal users are spending their time?

a lot of people want to build SaaS companies. nobody wants to validate an idea before spending time & money to build it. launch a waitlist or lead magnet in 2 hours to test demand (and prove you can acquire customers) then build it

@samuelthompson Hahahaha! Reading this while in the Dallas airport restroom after a coffee 🤣

drinking my first coffee in 2 months

@samuelthompson Would you reach out to smaller creators on sites like Spotify and theme forest for deal flow?

Don’t sleep on alt digital assets… Stock photography Spotify playlists Graphic design elements Niche newsletters Micro-blogs Website templates and more… Buy some, grow revenue, sell them.

@samuelthompson Backlinks

Describe what you sell in one word:

@samuelthompson How hard is it to add an if clause that catches these mistakes? Micro SaaS, or too small of a problem?

this is your competition

@discord what does it take resolve a support ticket? I’ve had an open ticket since 7/6/24.

@DjPanfili @thesamocean I have a background in development and would love to learn more about marketing. Maybe we can work something out if you’re open to a conversation.

I already have one copywriter who’s an absolute 10/10. Now our main focus is creating frameworks / AI processes for producing all of our deliverables so he can manage the workload of 3 copywriters by himself. That way we can run a super lean creative team and focus on hiring A players who support the creative team (tech/automation specialists, funnel builders, media buyers, etc). I’m also still heavily involved in fulfillment and don’t plan on removing myself any time soon due to the fact that we make the majority of our revenue from profit share.

Skill stacking is the way Went from writing short form copy (emails & ads) for small $2k-$3k/mo retainers To writing long form cold traffic copy (VSL’s, webinars, sales pages) for bigger one off fees $5k-$15k To doing full campaign builds (ads, funnels, webinars, VSL’s, automations, ongoing split tests & media buying) with singular clients who pay out $30k-$40k in monthly retainers / commission fees In other words, my income has gone up in direct correlation to my level of skill as a marketer Short form copywriting made me my first $5k-$10k/mo Long form got me to $20k/mo Short form + long form + strategy got me to $30k/mo Full campaign builds + ongoing optimization & media buying got me to the point where singular clients pay that on a recurring basis for our agency services Stop obsessing over the money you’re making or the results you’re seeing TODAY And start focusing on the skills you’re accumulating that will pay you forever
