@anthonyriera 😎

I'm back at making youtube videos. My first video? "How to vibe code a SaaS" The goal is to actually vibe code, actual useful / well thought out products. If you were to teach this to somebody, what advice would you give them? I might include you in the video!

@alexmacgregor__ 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

The internet quietly flattened opportunity. I can sit in Bangkok. Build a product. Reach someone in New York. Sell to someone in London. Ten years ago that still felt unusual. Now it's just how the world works.

@shortcutdotnews Pretty cool

JUST IN: OpenAI launches Codex Micro, a dedicated shortcut keyboard built for AI coding

7 marketing pillars that are at the core of all of our client acquisition. These enabled us to scale to 7 figures in 10 months and grow fast 👇 1/ Warm outreach Reaching out to people from your current network. That's your past customers, email contacts, "lost" leads, social connections and more. 2/ Cold outreach Reaching out to people who don't know you. To do it yourself, use tools like @MeetApollo, @officialpbuster or Instantly. To outsource it, use services like @alexwestco's CyberLeads, @webtastic_ai or @GetArtisanAI. 3/ Referrals Encouraging existing customers to refer others to you. First, optimize for the highest NPS and LTV possible. NPS = How much your customers like you. LTV = How long your customers use your business. Happy customers with high lifetime value are more likely to refer others. Offer a generous, lifetime commission for your customers. 4/ Affiliates Reaching out to people to promote your business for a fee. To do it manually, use @Timb03's tactic: x.com/lukemiler/stat… To do it at scale, use services like @GetReditus or @partneroHQ. Offer a generous, lifetime commission to attract high-quality affiliates. That's 30% and up for most SaaS, 5% for productized services. 5/ Content Generating inbound leads through content. That's your blog, social media posts and more. Be useful and don't forget to tell people what your business is all about. And then, repeat yourself, like, hundreds of times: x.com/lukemiler/stat… 6/ Side projects Launching free services to promote your main business. Keep it simple. Solve a problem in a much simpler way than anyone else. Reduce features and maintenance to the minimum. Host it on a dedicated domain with a tag that says "Made by [your name]" linking to your business. 7/ Paid ads Investing in advertising to obtain leads. If you're starting out, check @nico_jeannen's Maker Ads Guide. To outsource it, use services like @isaacrudansky's @AdVenturePPC.

@lukemiler pretty much 🎯

accurate

@lukemiler 1000%

shipping a new project ≠ shipping a useful project many will find out the hard way

@TTrimoreau playing magic the gathering arena

I'm curious while AI is writing your code, what are you doing?

@ProtonDrive No API access is killing me

@tim_yakubson TEMPLATE

One cold email template booked me 50 meetings in 3 months, and the entire trick is the ORDER you stack four ingredients in: Most people build this backwards. They write the clever email first, then bolt a vague "happy to share more" onto the end, and wonder why it pulls a 1% reply rate. The words wrapped around the offer are just the tease. The asset IS the email. Get the order wrong and the prospect has no reason to reply. I recorded the full breakdown plus the Claude Code setup that builds the asset per prospect, and I'm giving it away free. Comment "TEMPLATE" and here's everything you get, free: • The 4 ingredients in the exact order that pulls a 5%+ reply rate (most people invert 2 of them) • The opener built on what's already happening in the prospect's category search • The 3-competitor name-drop that makes them feel the gap before you pitch • The Claude Code workflow that generates a 20-page report per prospect automatically • The one-word reply CTA that turns the whole thing into a booked call PS build the report before you write a single line of copy, and the email almost writes itself.
