I just made Stripe dashboard but for ads 😃 I was fed up switching tab between ad platforms every time, so I grouped it all in one single place in AdKit You can see the results of all your ad accounts, in one place, and even get some additional details/breakdowns

Your customers can talk about themselves better than you will ever do That's the whole point of interviewing them You can then use their words to make much better marketing materials

I added an affiliate program to GenerateAds last week, and one of my affiliates has already made $203 from it! I guess I need to focus more on affiliates 😄

The best way to learn about your customers is to shut up and let them talk about themselves and their problems

Seeing users reporting bugs makes me happy Because it means: - I have customers - They use the app - They care enough to want it to be fixed Much better than having perfect code with no users

Those ads alone grew my previous startup from $0 to $1,000 MRR No videos, no fancy design, just a simple static ad It worked because: - I knew who the target audience was - The ad was talking about them and their problems - I had a good landing page/funnel

The B2B SaaS I sold a month ago was stuck at $100 MRR for almost 8 months It all changed when I added a proper onboarding The most important part: Don’t send users to a basic “signup” page. It’s boring, and it feels like they’re just giving you their email and will get spammed 👉 Instead, I did:

Amazon is ugly because it's optimized for conversion, not design If you see something on Amazon, it's been tested and proven to improve sales. If you want to make money, optimise for conversion rate, not design

I A/B tested a shiny new onboarding on my app, where users can jump right in, book a demo call or do a guided tour. It looks better and is smoother than my old one. I assumed it would improve the conversion rate Turns out, it performs 70% worse than my old onboarding

I’ve delayed the video about Talknote's $200,000 exit for over 6 months now, mainly because I wanted to wait for YouTube to unblock my account But fuck YouTube monetization, I don’t want to delay it more. If I don’t publish it before the end of the month, I’ll give $500 to [...]

A few days ago I noticed Cursor has a "Bug Finder" tab that goes through all your current commits and tells you where possible bugs and issues (in the tabs next to chat and composer) And holly shit it's good! A few false positives, but it noticed bugs that would have caused big issues later

I'm back from my self-imposed 1-month vacation! ✈️ I never took time to reflect and think for the past 2 years cause I was always grinding and stressing about money I made $300,000+ since then, so good time to finally slow down and reflect. Here are some insights:

One of my SaaS went from $100 MRR with 70% churn to $650+ MRR with a churn of under 10% Here is what I changed: ❌ The problem: - I don't know anything about the app's industry - I don't know anything about the app's users - I knew for sure there was demand 👍 What I did:

Any alternative to Typefully that supports proper media upload? I need: - No 5mo limit on media - Can upload up to 4 videos (like Twitter) - Can cross-post on the other apps - Auto-split posts for apps not supporting above 240 characters

I saw condos for sale in the US, and I contacted the agent out of curiosity Apparently, if you buy a condo there, you also HAVE to pay a $300/month fee to the "homeowner association"😨 Is that normal in the US? What's the point of paying for a house if you have to pay close to a rent on top of it?

Just realized Cloudflare .com domains are now cheaper than Namecheap! 😮 Using Cloudflare directly is much more convenient since you need to redirect the name servers there anyway What do you all use for domains?

You don’t need to make super complex design for your Facebook ads creative if your market is new All my current ads are white background with a big headline that catch attention and a few stickers (to make it less boring) Result: Cost per click under $1 and cost per signup around $5 💸
