i listened to creators most make 5-10 videos a month monthly subscriptions? felt like paying for what they don't use they said: "we want AI credits only what we need" so i built ai credit system.. pay per use no monthly subscription full control creators win #buildinpublic #youtubers #ai

thinking of offering a lifetime deal for my product ThumblifyAI bring your own api, pay once, get unlimited generations forever or maybe just a credit-based system? trying to see what creators actually prefer what would you pick? #buildinpublic

don’t build features for ghosts it’s not always about more features talk to your users get feedback iterate often marketing takes time but real growth? comes from real conversations... #buildinpublic

still stuck on payment gateway… stripe isn’t available in my region and lemonsqueezy & paddle don’t work either anyone using an alternative? #buildinpublic

Small wins that only you can notice are what truly matters Everyone celebrates your start then comes the silence That quiet period of months/years when you're working alone That's where real progress happens - quietly, consistently, behind the scenes Progress isn't always loud #buildinpublic

Ali Zaid @heyalizaid.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

quick update on what I’ve been up to... 👀 over the past 3 weeks, I’ve been focused on refining the experience and building new features based on your amazing feedback 🙌 ✅ new cart & checkout ✅ shipping options done ✅ order dashboard full version launching very soon #buildinpublic

Ali Zaid @heyalizaid.bsky.social · 08/01/2025

how do you decide which feature to build first? here's my go-to: - does it fit your product goals? - users asking for it? - is it quick to build? - test before going big - think long-term what’s your method? #buildinpublic

Ali Zaid @heyalizaid.bsky.social · 02/01/2025

just watched the viral video about Honey Scam😨 can’t believe they’re pulling off an affiliate scam by replacing affiliate links with their own in a sneaky way to take commissions... stay safe online and double-check what you download and promote #buildinpublic

Looking back at 2024, I'm proud that I built, launched, and iterated @bazaari.bsky.social excited for what 2025 has in store ;) #buildinpublic

Ali Zaid @heyalizaid.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

i thought AI content wasn’t great for SEO, but after seeing @tmaker.io's amazing results, I realized I was wrong AI blogging seems powerful what do you think? #buildinpublic

2 months of programmatic SEO Results for @bazaari.bsky.social so far: → 81 clicks → 1.18K impressions → 6.9% CTR → Seller's products ranking as high as #1-5, alongside Amazon & AliExpress @bazaari.bsky.social SEO is powerful - and I'm still making it even stronger #buildinpublic

Ali Zaid @heyalizaid.bsky.social · 17/12/2024

you'll probably see lower engagement during the holidays and that’s okay holiday season = lower engagement 📉 because your potential customers are busy with travel, or time off but they set New Year resolutions making it the perfect time to capture their attention #buildinpublic

Ali Zaid @heyalizaid.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

how do you pre-sell a product before building it? → build a small MVP first? → use a landing page to test interest? → sell the vision directly to potential users? what’s worked for you? #buildinpublic

this store is now indexed on Google! 🌐 with Bazaari, sellers don’t just create and launch their stores they also get the added benefit of visibility on Google (and other search engines) 😉 this helps them reach more customers organically #bazaari #wearebazaari #buildinpublic #googlesearch #SEO

Ask your potential users: 👉 'If I build this platform, would you use it?' take note of who’s interested. you’re not just building – you’re building for them. they could be your first customers #buildinpublic #advice

what's the most valuable lesson you've learned this year? #buildinpublic #founders

Ali Zaid @heyalizaid.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

As a solo founder: → Finding real pain points = hard → Building a solution = harder → Getting users to care = hardest 💡 Pro Tip: → Talk to potential users before building → Understand their struggles → Validate the problem → Build what they actually need #buildinpublic #solo #founders #tips
