They say AI will create entirely new jobs we can’t even imagine yet. So, name one

Starting the day with the one question: what's the highest leverage move I need to get done that changes the bottom line? Today: integrate Shopify app and migrate all content to new blog (hope not to lose the organic traffic that's been built so far). What's yours?

AI traffic is only 2% of Findable's visitors right now. But that number is moving fast. The founders who figure out AI visibility now are going to own a channel most people haven't even started thinking about. That's exactly why I'm building this. 🔥

Free tools are doing 70%+ of the SEO heavy lifting for Contentboost. Most people see free tools as a cost. I see them as the top of the funnel that never sleeps! Build the free thing. Let it compound. Charge for the thing that makes the free thing better. That's the playbook. 🧠

@staysaasy This needed to be said. Building software for the sake of it doesn't mean you'll match what already exists, let alone improve on it like the domain experts can.

Let me be clear - if you are getting rid of SaaS and building internally, you are fucking cooked. You are a loser. If that is a priority it means you have no viable way to expand your TAM and grow revenue. You’re just keeping busy until you die. I know for a fact that the big model companies heavily use SaaS. I know for a fact that the BigCo tech companies heavily use SaaS. If you have a CTO or boards convincing you to build your SaaS stack internally, they are either idiots or completely out of ideas to actually grow your business.

I just interviewed a CEO who said three things that blew my mind: 1. We replaced our $600K Salesforce contract with a vibe-coded CRM, built within 3 weeks. 2. We will get rid of 80% of the SaaS we use internally. 3. If Anthropic doubled pricing, we would not change usage in any way.

@romanbuildsaas does this still hold when spinning up an MVP takes a few hours?

People think you absolutely need a full MVP to validate a SaaS idea. Me? I had a 6-slide PowerPoint. And I made my first $10k before writing a single line of code. I made the ppt below in 5mn and it was awful ! Here’s the process: Step 1: Create a simple deck with: the problem your solution the workflow the expected outcome how it changes the customer’s life pricing Step 2: Send 1,000 cold emails and 500 LinkedIn messages. Book demos. Step 3: If people want to pay, take the calls seriously and figure out how to deliver the result manually first. If you can’t actually deliver yet, don’t take the money. But track the interest carefully. Step 4: If nobody is trying to buy, move on. Step 5: Only then build the MVP. And repeat the process. Most founders waste months building software nobody asked for. Distribution and validation come first. Code comes after.

Reddit as a marketing channel took me 15 minutes to properly test yesterday. Not 15 minutes to do it well, 15 minutes to realise why I cut it from Findable v1 lol The noise-to-signal ratio for early SaaS is brutal unless you already have traction there. The right channel at the wrong time is still the wrong channel.

if you are not watching reddit with agents you're leaving customers on the table. takes 2 minutes to setup: 1. "make a list of subreddits relevant to my business" 2. "setup an hourly cron job to curl reddit .com/r/saas/new.json" 3. "alert me when there's a relevant post" bonus: remix with your knowledge base to draft replies

Vibe coding is crazy man. Met a 16yr old making $500k a month with his vibe-coded SaaS he started 5 months ago. I asked how he built so fast. He said he just asked ChatGPT for a prompt, pasted it into Claude Opus-4.7, and somehow the app worked first try His goal is to get to $1M a month this year. Entire business running through his Dad’s Stripe account. His Firebase rules were basically public access with extra steps, user data got leaked, now he’s getting tried as an adult but the SaaS still printing though. None of this happened btw.

Founders must stop trying to building 2010-era businesses with 2026-era technology. Don't try to rebuild Foursquare or Yelp. Don't try to recreate Basecamp by 37 Signals with $10/mo SaaS pricing. Don't underprice! If it works it's worth a lot more. Don't be tempted to become "Tech enabled PE" with revenue tricks. The rules of tech changed with AI. Play the new game.

$108k MRR, almost 2k MRR in 1 day. I honestly don't know how, but churn is massively down from 19% to 15.6%. And Postiz keeps on growing. I thought I would plateau a long time ago.

I am the most unprofessional person in my niche online. Posting real MRR numbers, bad days, half-finished ideas. It's (kinda) working! My theory: people are exhausted by polished. They want to see someone actually doing the thing. Mess is underrated content strategy. 😂

@ArielleCPX @TarbellCameron Oh ok, got it. At that level AI can definitely help, agreed! I use it for Go and it does a fairly good job. But I have to nudge it in that direction, I suppose it needs to be told use WP too :)

@chikofy @TarbellCameron Can use LocalWP or Docker too for a local environment and live testing as all Claude needs is access to the file system

@ArielleCPX @TarbellCameron @ArielleCPX yes that's what I mean. Claude Code, Codex, etc can easily whip up a prototype directly in the chat. Lovable and others don't use WP as well. How are you creating quick POCs with AI...using a headless approach?

@chikofy @TarbellCameron Hard for LLMs to create live prototypes for WP? It’s not it’s so easy it’s all I do lol but I guess not as straight forward as the web based IDE maybe

@TarbellCameron @ArielleCPX I think it has a lot to do with AI pitching NextJS, React more than full frameworks like Wordpress. It's also hard for LLMs to create live prototypes using it atm

@ArielleCPX The thing that shocks me with the AI revolution and all is the fact we aren't seeing more headless WordPress sites. I thought for sure that would become commonplace.
