Alexander Isora 👽 @isora.me · 29/01/2026I made a tier list of all growth channels that I used to go to $16k MRR. If I were starting today, I’d focus on 3 things: • making top product - so people love and share it genuinely (70%). • side projects factory (20%). • writing good stories - 𝕏, Reddit etc (10%). 140

Alexander Isora 👽 @isora.me · 25/10/2025I've figured out why I'm often scared to launch!! 🤩 Not launching is comfortable. I live in a future world where my product succeeds, users love it, $$$ flows. It's perfect because it's not real. I like being there. 110
Alexander Isora 👽 @isora.me · 04/09/2025I don't understand what is the point of consulting calls 🤷 - Most playbooks are public and cheaper. - Buying certainty is fooling oneself. - Renting brain is an illusion: no skin in the game - no care. - You buy opinions, not evidence. - Calls create a false sense of progress. 140
Alexander Isora 👽 @isora.me · 01/09/2025Made my first domain sale! 🤩 Unlike a SaaS, this project started with a negative balance. I only invested by bidding on auctions for months. It was mentally hard to feed it and not seeing even a $1 in profits. saas.page is still net-negative. But validated. 020

Alexander Isora 👽 @isora.me · 21/08/2025Building a b2c product is the worst decision a founder can make 🫠🔫 Why b2c sucks: 1. Individuals pay little money (most paid iOS apps cost <$2). 2. There are tons of competitors. AI makes it even worse. 260
Alexander Isora 👽 @isora.me · 20/08/20251 year ago I created a subr𝔢ddit for SaaS founders. My goal was to provide makers with stressless access to R𝔢ddit. So far: 1) Got 2.8k members (+10/day). 2) Average post gets 700 views and 3 comments. 3) 2.5 posts/day are published. 100
Alexander Isora 👽 @isora.me · 09/07/2025If I were selling my guide in 🇪🇺, my offer would be illegal 😁 Possible fines I could get if I lived in: Germany: up to €50k France: up to €300k Netherlands: up to €900k But I'm not in the EU. So I can do crazy things 😎 110
Alexander Isora 👽 @isora.me · 23/06/2025I realized I'm a quick dopamine junkie 😥🫤😖 I thought I'm cool and smart. But I'm not. I work 3-5 hours per day. Gym 2 hours per day. Sleep 8 hours per day. The rest 10 hours are procrastinated via watching youtube/netflix, eating food, scrolling news. 10 damn hours. ... 120

Alexander Isora 👽 @isora.me · 27/05/2025I hate to say that, but UI/UX are to become a history within 10 years. AI chat is the new user interface. Everything a good UI can do, AI chat can do better and faster. Chat is the most natural interface. Gen Z use chats all their life. If your app does not have a chatbox, you'll be outcompeted. 150
Alexander Isora 👽 @isora.me · 20/05/2025- Sugar made people sluggish - Tiktok made people easily distracted - Video games made people addicted to fake progress - Influencers made people watchers, not doers - AI makes people lazy Simply avoiding these obvious traps automatically puts you in the top 1% of makers 🤷 070

Alexander Isora 👽 @isora.me · 21/12/2024Todo lists kill my productivity!! 😡 Every time I open my tasks board I'm like "meh, not in the mood doing that." But I can't just ignore the damn list.

Alexander Isora 👽 @isora.me · 29/11/2024i’m building a new “Unicorn Platform” 😁 when i sold Unicorn Platform to John Rush we had no formal agreement. so in theory i could take the cash, say “goodbye” and create a better landing page builder. a much better one. that’d be unethical and boring, so I did not. 🧵⤵ 240

Reposted by Alexander Isora 👽Daniel Nguyen @danielnguyen.me · 26/11/2024Let's make Bluesky a better place for indie founders. It's a fair criticism that Starter Packs were a great marketing strategy. That once the novelty wears off, Bluesky might go downhill just like Threads. And to prevent that, we need to put effort to nurture the community ↓ 5623431
