@gouthamjay8 I'll be in Tokyo as well! Food everywhere is amazing, tsukemen (rokurinsha), tonkatsu (suzuki) and tempura (kaneko hannosuke). A day trip to Kawagoe is nice. Quite a number of festivals are happening as well.

Will be heading to Japan in a few weeks What would you recommend to do/eat? 👀

@WilsonKomala Will keep everyone posted here 😃

@salielim @salielim, exploring diverse marketing channels opens up numerous growth opportunities! Excited to see how this unfolds. 🌟

Instead of 12 startups in 12 months, I’m doing 12 marketing channels in 12 months. 🚀 1️⃣ SEO: basic on-site + some link building 2️⃣ Content marketing 3️⃣ Social media & Black Friday deals 4️⃣ LinkedIn outreach 5️⃣ X outreach 6️⃣ Email outreach 7️⃣ YouTube + IG & TikTok reels ...

8️⃣ SEO deep dive: competition analysis & improvements 9️⃣ Reddit marketing 🔟 Podcasts 1️⃣1️⃣ Influencer marketing 1️⃣2️⃣ Paid ads

Can't wait.

Created a Black Friday deal promotion for Supernovas AI to run on 28 Nov ahead of time and did some outreach. Am I too early - where else can I list the deal on?

One AI Chat. Every AI model. No more juggling multiple subscriptions or API keys. Start in 1 click → Supernovas AI LLM

Exactly You should invest your money in companies, so they can get bigger, build more products and services for more people, and improve the world A house has no function other than for 2-5 people to live in, it doesn't produce any value for society when its value grows, so it shouldn't be seen as an investment Home ownership as an investment is the biggest delusion the 20th century created and our society is falling apart as a consequence of it because most people can't afford a home now

@levelsio 💯 so simple but not in the best interests of existing land/home owners. Move to a LCOL country in Asia or live in a big vehicle / tiny house if stuck in a HCOL western country as you've been saying. I've been living in a tiny house for 2.5 years now, very happy.

Who would have thought Building new houses actually works!

@t31kx I've been chilling at "it is what it is"

Chat where are we right now

@levelsio @sama I use Windsurf not a bot

So finally @sama too found out 99% of Windsurf usage was bots? 😂👍

@yongfook Yay to team dock visible 👩‍💻

My dock being visible is the main reason I'm at $90k MRR right now.

@levelsio Makes more sense to be an indie startup that to invest in them

@gregisenberg Selling to developers who prefer free and open-source is hard.

@dannypostma I see that you took a bite of the nasi lemak 😋 delicious

Good to be back 🇲🇾

@imbktan I would hate how it doesn't revert as well. Maybe this claudiacode.com could help.

@salielim I'm on a claude pro plan, but after spending a few hours with it I didn't like the workflow(doesnt support reverting), so I stopped using it. However, I hit the rate limit on cursor and ended up switching on usage-based billing.

Subscribed to Claude and spent a few hours experimenting with Claude Code, but I still prefer the interactive, GUI-driven coding experience over a console. So I'm back to using Cursor.

@gouthamjay8 SEO and cold outreach are product-specific, while audience building can work across all products with longer longevity. @robwalling mentioned to build a network not an audience - that's the answer for me - it has longevity and isn't product specific.

I think building an audience is overrated Yes you can easily sell them your products But you have to show up everyday. Managing an audience is a full time job There are channels like SEO, cold outreach, ads which work as you sleep You just have to find what works for you

@sobedominik @tryredreach Reddit guide

I just launched THE Reddit Marketing Playbook 🚀 Most founders are missing one of the biggest marketing opportunities of 2025. There's 430 million people on Reddit literally posting things like: "Best email marketing tool for our growing SaaS?" or "What's the best workout app for beginners?" These people are pre-qualified leads with purchase intent, asking for solutions in the open and your product should be one of them. ⚠️ Here's the problem: Reddit's spam detection kills most business posts before anyone even sees them. The platform rightfully hates spam so you can't just spread your product links everywhere and hope it's gonna work. 💪 You need a better strategy. So I spent 2 weeks reverse-engineering what works on Reddit. I crawled through 100s of posts + comments and condensed it into a free interactive guide. It's everything you need to know about marketing your business on Reddit: 1. ⚡ Why Reddit dominates Google + AI search results (and how to exploit it) 2. 🎯 Finding customers literally begging for your solution 3. 💬 How to comment to promote your product without getting rekt 4. ✍️ Engineering Reddit post titles that will get you traffic and not banned 5. 🛟 Warming up accounts + what to do you or your posts get banned all the time The content of this guide already helped a lot of Redreach customers get better at Reddit marketing so I hope it will help you too :) If there's anything you are missing let me know. I want to make this the best free Reddit guide out there. Comment "reddit guide" and I'll DM you the guide for free 👇
