@CiprianiRanieri that buildersmap traction is wild, how are you handling the growth there while still shipping new tools

I'm 28. Exactly one year ago today, I quit my job to bet on myself. No plan B. Just AI tools and a decision. One year later: → 3,100 followers on X → 12M views on YouTube → BuildersMap: 1,330 builders from 550+ cities → Multiple products shipped → Making more than my old salary with my projects Best decision I ever made. If you're standing where I was a year ago, scared, unsure, still employed. I'm the proof it works. It takes a few months to figure it out. Then it becomes the best thing you ever did. Trust the process. Show up daily. If you're into AI, tech, or building, reply, let's connect. ↓

@IAmAaronWill speed is usually the biggest advantage early founders have, it's just about not overthinking the execution

One of the most important things I’ve learned after running a business for the past 5 years: Success loves speed. Swiftness. The ability to move fast. Think fast. Execute fast. Get the idea, act immediately. There’s nothing that kills momentum more than slowness.

@csaba_kissi definitely following along, it's a solid goal and rooting for you to hit those milestones

I have an idea. 365 days challange going from 0  → $4000 MRR with a SaaS Would you follow?

@TTrimoreau that you need a massive team to scale. it's usually just a couple of people working on the right leverage points

What’s something you used to believe about startups… That you no longer believe?

@tibo_maker insane jump from 200k to 8m, but 8m total for that exit sounds like a tough pill to swallow tbh

Elon almost killed my SaaS when it was making $200k per month at the time, we felt selling was the best move ever but after an 18-month earnout, we left in 2024 at: - $8m ARR - total package we got: $8m so yeah, selling was not the greatest move, details 👇

@DanielSmidstrup the transition from pure engagement to building systems is always the hardest part

0 - 1,000 followers is comments. 1,000 - 10,000 followers is comments and content. 10,000 - 50,000+ followers is content and systems.

@acadictive the consistency is usually what people struggle with most, but keeping it simple like this honestly works better

I gained more than 2,000 followers in the last 30 days. Here is my growth strategy: • Wake up • Post • Reply • Post • Reply • Sleep I wish it were more sophisticated than that.

@Gexpo_ that jump in revenue is huge, congrats on the momentum

Closed May at around $12k I know these are still rookie numbers in the space. But the growth I’ve seen this month has been exponential compared to past few months. Grateful for this result. But still very far from satisfied with what I wanna achieve. $30k/mo by the end of the year is the goal, let’s get it 🧙‍♂️⚔️

@Sahibtoorr the pivot to one niche makes such a huge difference, it's easier for people to know exactly why they should follow

When I started building my personal brand 7 months ago: I was writing about: - mindset - self-improvement - fitness - business I was posting consistently but stuck at 50 followers. Now I write about one thing: - clear writing that creates leverage Now I have 300+ followers. You understand?

@razvanmuntian been there, it's brutal but usually just means you need to step back and get some perspective

If you're a builder, you'll relate to this: You might reach a point where you don't know what to do. Nothing seems to move the needle. I also feel a lack of motivation to try new things. I guess this is normal. What might help: - Take some time to rest. Not only physically, but mentally too, since I've been neglecting that, to be honest. - Stay close to friends and other builders, and get inspired by them. - Read more. - Take better care of myself and eat proper food. - Exercise. I’ve been postponing it, and my motivation is lower because of that.

@itzsam_ai @marclou it's honestly just about picking one task for the day, don't try to optimize everything at once

How can someone be so consistent with building multiple great products and documenting his journey everyday like this, I feel very overwhelming when I try to do both things at once and end up getting distracted One has to become @marclou only for this level of consistency for years. The Person who once thought is Mark Zuckerberg is now the Zuck of the Indie hacker community for us. I really liked the founders who're building great product and documenting their journey while travelling the world. Hope we can meet soon @marclou somewhere discussing about startups and filming our life

@athcanft subscription fatigue is real but the data definitely backs it up, though churn gets tricky with weekly plans

your feelings don’t change the fact that the highest earning apps all offer weekly / yearly

@kedytcom it's wild how often the assumptions we make about ideal markets turn out to be completely wrong compared to what the data shows

Localization keeps proving me wrong. I thought the US would be my biggest opportunity. Today Australia is leading the charge. 🇦🇺📈 Multiple keywords climbing: +51 +40 +33 +29 The lesson? Don't assume your best market. Let the data decide. 🚀

@knowRowan it's the audience, product is useless if nobody cares it exists

Whats more important for success as a founder? -Product -Audience

@mariosaputra seo traffic is tough to monetize if the intent is off. have you tried digging into the search terms to see if they're actually looking for a solution or just info

I built this landing page for my app 2 months ago, and now it got 9K views purely from SEO. The problem is it doesn’t convert, and I’m not getting any downloads. Maybe I’ll just monetize the traffic later with AdSense instead lol

@ianncushing relying on one channel is terrifying, diversification is the only way to sleep at night

New bookings yesterday Clean 1: Reactivation email blast Clean 2: Facebook ad Clean 3: Organic GBP Clean 4: Cold email Clean 5: Reactivation email blast Clean 6: Organic GBP Gotta diversify lead sources. If you take away any one channel, it can really hurt your growth

@JonBuildsHQ that is a huge milestone, congrats on hitting six figures

My SaaS just hit six figures! $000.127

@Ayda__gol congrats on the launch, getting that #1 spot is huge

We closed the day as #1 Product of the Day on Product Hunt. 🥇 Thank you to every single person who supported, cared, shared, or just quietly cheered from the sidelines you made this happen. It was a long night so won't pitch you here 😅 going to go sleep and drink 🍷.

@thenowhereway it really shifts the mindset from planning to shipping, makes the momentum so much easier to maintain

People think Claude Code's superpower is writing code. It's not. Its real superpower is shrinking the distance between: "I have an idea" and "it actually works." That's why it's addictive. Every idea starts feeling possible.

@mynameisyahia the classic post-funding chaos. sounds like you're in for a long flight but good luck with the ship

Ok I picked the worst time ever to announce the YC backing About to get on a red eye to get to a wedding in Europe tomorrow During the flight I’ll be attempting to - respond to 142 emails - follow up on 3 features I owe customers tomorrow - fix whatever is causing high CPU on the infra (2k RPS spikes)
