The funny thing about having a brand built on "roasting" people is that friends expect you to be mean in real life The old profile picture didn't help, so here is a new one:

🤑 The easiest satisfying SaaS pricing hack: 👉 Charge $5/week instead of $20/month Same price, right...? Nope: - 52 weeks × $5 = $260/year - 12 months × $20 = $240/year - That's an extra $20/user/year At 50k users, you just made an extra $1M/year 🧠

as the amount of vibe code in production increases, so does the number of bugs and, therefore, the number of outages smh

The crazy part? You can stack all 7: → Use AI (code) → Build in public (media) → Hire a team (labor) → Raise capital (money) → Build connections (network) → Build reputation (brand) → Create products (content) That's not 10x. That's 100x.

7️⃣ Content leverage Build once, earn forever. A course, SEO, SaaS, template, or book generates value infinitely. Long-form YouTube and blog posts really work. Just write a single blog post.
100
Ilias Ism @il.ly · 29/10/2025
6️⃣ Brand leverage Reputation opens doors. When you're known, you don't pitch. People come to you. Jobs, deals, investments, all inbound when your name means something. Hardest one to build, but even harder to compete with.
100
Ilias Ism @il.ly · 29/10/2025
5️⃣ Network leverage The people in your DMs are your net worth. One text to the right person = 6 months of cold outreach. That's why YC alumni move so fast. The network *is* the product. Send that cold DM today!
100
Ilias Ism @il.ly · 29/10/2025
4️⃣ Capital leverage Money makes money. $10M lets you hire 100 people, invest in 10 businesses, or buy assets that print cash. Pretty simple. Get funded by YC and get this.
110
Ilias Ism @il.ly · 29/10/2025
3️⃣ Labor leverage A team, freelancers, operators. When others do the work, you multiply output while staying calm. That's how agency owners and CEOs scale beyond being $1M/year. Hire great people.
100
Ilias Ism @il.ly · 29/10/2025
2️⃣ Media leverage Your audience is your amplifier. One tweet, one video, one email, and you reach thousands instantly. That's why levels or marc can launch anything and make money overnight. Build your own distribution.
100
Ilias Ism @il.ly · 29/10/2025
1️⃣ Code leverage AI, agents, automations. You can literally clone yourself digitally. A single developer with Claude + Cursor can outperform entire teams who code manually. Build the systems that work for you.

Stop begging for backlinks! Start trading for them. The playbook 👇 1. Write your own definitive "Best [X] Tools" listicle 2. Feature your top competitors and give them a fair, honest review 3. Reach out to them and say: "I added you in my new 'Best of' list. Can you ad us"

You don't need more time. You need more focus. A 2-hour deep work session is worth more than an 8-hour distracted day. I could probably just work from 6am to 1pm and chill the rest of the day.

14. Social proof is not optional. It's not "nice to have" It's not a design tip It’s the difference between *clicking away* and *clicking buy* Want people to trust you? Show them people *like them* already do!

13. ✅ You don’t need 1,000 reviews. You need 3–5 *relatable, specific* stories. Place them at every point of doubt: - Next to pricing - Beside your CTA - In your hero section Let your customers do the selling for you.
