Day 1 of growing my affiliate program from zero 🤝 Last 30 days: 26 clicks from 14 partners. 0 sales 😅 What I'm doing about it: - Listed on 6 affiliate directories - Pitched 8 affiliate blogs - Inviting happy customers to earn 30% for 12 months Where did your first affiliate who sold come from?

I just shipped a new calendar in PostOnce. 📅 Month view, week view, or hour by hour 🖐️ Drag any scheduled post to a new day, even the ones your workflows scheduled ↩️ Undo if you drop it in the wrong spot Every post shows its time, platforms, caption and thumbnail right on the card.

$2,804 MRR. This week 2 subscriptions died after 9 failed payment retries each. Both "insufficient funds." They never clicked cancel. Stripe just kept retrying until it gave up. Do you email these people yourself, or let Stripe's dunning handle it?

How I chase trial users who got value but never paid: 1. A bot finds everyone who posted successfully but never paid 2. It checks Stripe for abandoned or failed checkouts 3. I email them myself with one question. No pitch. 4. Then $15 off the first month, applied automatically The $15 offer so far

Solo founders: which marketing channel actually made you money this year? 🤔 Not followers. Money 💰 Mine: SEO + ChatGPT citations 🤖

Finally. I run PostOnce with 10 AI bots (SEO, Reddit, YouTube QA, cold email, Ads, X). The worst part was a bot hitting the limit mid-task. Leaving half-done work for me to clean up the next morning. 😅 Does this work for scheduled runs too?
