if you desperately want to quit your 9-5 please do this first: > pay off all non-mortgage debt to minimize monthly expenses > save a cash reserve to cover cost of living (I saved 2yrs of expenses) > have a fallback plan: "if X doesn't happen by Y date, get another job"
why are you stressed? all you have to do is: 1. validate app ideas 2. build one with AI 3. market for months on reddit, tiktok 4. create content to build an audience 5. launch on ProductHunt etc. 6. realize no one wants your app 7. pivot to new ideas 8. repeat steps 1-7
goal: 1000 commits in a year progress: 60% 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️
Building for yourself feels productive… until launch day hits and no one shows up. Ask the market. Your gut is not enough. Speaking from experience (and $63 in sad app sales).
complain in public > build in public (I guess??)
how i waste a day: - get lost in new app ideas - tinker with code - realize i haven't posted about it once - start marketing, but it's already dinner sometimes the actual work is just deciding where to aim
Thinking about running a TikTok page that just gives out free app ideas. No pressure to build unless one actually pops off. Feels like a fun way to crowdsource what people actually want-plus I could throw in some GPT mockups so it looks real. Why not?
some days i just wanna ship an app and hope it blows up other days it feels like you can’t win unless you’re running a personal media company do i focus on making things, or on growing a following? nobody tells you which matters more
getting over my fear of posting uploaded this to YouTube just gotta do more reps
is this better? I tried to improve the editing: > added captions > more screenshots/visuals > trimmed ~1m from the original video can't fix my hella monotone voiceover (unless I re-record) so I'll try to do better in the next one👍
jeffy b is now my most liked post lmaooo
testing a new format lol tiktok seems to hate capitalism though so this might be shit (definitely avoiding Elon pics for now😭)
Day 24 of posting to TikTok (using a slideshow generator I made) > page reached 500 likes > 15k total views avg post been getting 700-800 views for the most part. no single video has done >1k yet still trying to actively experiment with hooks, 1st pictures, etc. but trying to…
first time ever recording myself (I hated it) would *greatly* appreciate any feedback so I can improve!🙏
now the flow is: > scrape viral tiktoks in niche > analyze transcripts > generate educational blog content + tweet ideas > send everything in an email to be reviewed then she can tweak content if needed, choose what tweets she wants to use etc.
building a workflow for my gf (photographer) that: > scrapes viral tiktoks in her niche > analyzes the transcripts > turns into blog content & tweet ideas next: send everything to her email for review? (everything already saves to a google sheet) I still need to play with the…
