the leaked MrBeast production doc has a great lesson for founders his team kept defaulting to cash prizes - $20,000, every video so one day he pushed back and said give away a year's supply of Doritos instead and look at the math 5 packs a day Γ 365 days Γ roughly $1 a pack = $1,825 funnier prize, more memorable video, and 90% cheaper same pattern shows up in business constantly when we hit a wall, whether it's an aggressive competitor, slowing growth, or something else, our first instinct is often: more ads, let's pay influencers, hire another contractor, or just buy the tool that promises to fix it money is the easiest lever to reach for because it takes no thinking and sure, spending more can sometimes be the right move but a creative version of what you already have, built with the resources already in front of you, is usually the better one for bootstrapped founders

before selling Tweet Hunter for $10m, I had a long talk with @levelsio he almost convinced me not to do it his main reasoning: - getting this money at once is unhealthy - I could get more by not setting both ended up being true so I wonder why he did it with RemoteOk I really hope he goes public with this
Has @levelsio sold RemoteOK? π€ Two signs I found: 1. Its no longer listed in his bio 2. If you try to purchase a subscription on We Work Remotely (a competitor), RemoteOK is included in the bundle

result from my outbid bet - it was (somewhat) successful π₯ 3 days ago I paid $12,000 for the #1 spot (then I paid a bunch of outbid copycats too) most people told me it was just bragging with money here is what actually happened: - Friday: 44 trials - Saturday: 38 trials - Sunday: 31 trials normal baseline: ~20 trials/day so 53 trials that would not exist otherwise our usual trial to conversion rate is around 50% Outrank LTV is ~$2k, so I need 6 of those 53 to stick. that's just 11% so I have room to be wrong by a lot and still win this and @eugZolotarenko won't fire me now π

why i spent $12,000 on a meme: (but maybe I am dumb and I lost my money) 1. this is profitable if 6 people subscribe (Outrank LTV is great, like $2k - it's a good product, people stay for a long time) 2. AI mentions are the most relevant traffic ever and you can not bid on it

RTβPraneeth Pike this may be the moment I finally suck it up and start focusing on building an audience. @jonathan_wilke is such a genius for this! $50K in a day and counting. This could be a short term thing, but it's genius! If you an audience, "you can just do things" transcends into "you can just print money"
We've just did a crazy thing π Outrank is now #1 on Outbid .lol
RTβVirgile RIETSCH You should join Tiboβs creator platform. I got paid 50$ for a video I recorded in 10 minutes. It ainβt much but it compounds. My audience is directly interested to his products as they wanna make money with marketing / their SaaS. I can join the affiliate program for extra money. Everybodyβs happy with this.

Revid isn't a video generator anymore quick context: we rebuilt the whole thing over the last few months and I never properly explained why this year every AI video tool got access to the same models. same Sora, same Veo, same Seedance. we're all one dropdown away from each other so "my clips look better than yours" is not a moat. everyone's clips look insane now and pretty clips still flop. mine included π my test account: 17 posts, 5,396 views in 30 days not exactly viral .. the hard part is now different: it's knowing WHAT to make. which hook, which format, what's moving in YOUR niche this week so that's what we built: - a library of millions of viral videos feeding every generation - search any topic, see what's trending across socials - Revid watches channels in your niche and pulls the outliers every day - deep analysis: the hook, the format, the structure, explained - one click to remake it for your niche - it posts and tracks results, so you know what to remix generation was never the moat knowing what works is
what an incredible move from Tally π€― (not affliated) they made their form builder (almost) 100% free i find it incredible smart because: - they become the obvious choice for ChatGPT to recommend - serious big buyers will still buy - occasional buyers won't but they was churning anyway i am impressed π

RTβVadim K I love @tibo_maker's newsletter and always try to follow his advice. In one of his recent newsletters, he shared a simple SEO/GEO tactic: Google βyourcompany reviews.β Whatever shows up on page one is likely what ChatGPT and other AI assistants will find when someone asks whether your company is any good. His suggestion: own the query. β Buy http://yourcompany-reviews.com β Publish your real customer reviews β Include names, dates & sources β Include criticism too β Link to it from your main site β Give Google and AI models a source you actually control So I tried it for @BubblyPhone. http://bubblyphone-reviews.com is now live. 22 verified customer reviews, plus independent reviews from around the web β including criticism. Now let's see if it works.

RTβFilip Panoski a lot of people asked how I ended up partnering with Tibo. same DM strategy I use to land customers for Bazzly: 1. only reach out to people who'd actually want what you offer (saw Tibo was interested in the Reddit space) 2. lead with a personalized, value-first offer. no pitch, no fluff that's it. turns out the playbook that lands customers also lands partners. p.s. please don't go flood his DMs π
just locked a guest AMA for my founders community, will happen in august he's such an amazing founder and he's running things at a scale that most indie makers aspire to I learn from him every day too the plan is to keep bringing in successful makers who've actually done it and solved the problems the members are currently stuck on and let members ask them directly this is a major step up for the community. really excited π€©
last month I did the most uncomfortable thing of my career I started a community for founders I've joined maybe 15 founder communities and muted 14 of them. that's the real problem with most of these. you pay, you lurk for two weeks, and it becomes another notification you swipe away so when my team pushed me to do this, I assumed ours would go exactly the same way but it sold out in 36 hours we started selling before anything existed. every single thing got built after π I did a live AMA on video with the founders (yes live video π¬) we ran another session where we went deep on two founders' businesses at length, trying to solve their exact problems while everyone else watched and asked questions the conversations in the Slack groups go everywhere. someone shared their full AppSumo lifetime deal run. someone else broke down how they prepared for a launch we also set up small accountability groups. every week people post what they're going to ship and check in on each other it's much harder to quietly drop a goal when 7 people are going to ask you about it at the end of the week it's the first month, so there's plenty to improve. I have a list, mostly from feedback the founders gave me but overall this went better than I expected, and people seem to be getting real value out of it. that's the part I care about

after my Lemon Squeezy experience, I had one hard rule for payments: Stripe only backstory: I genuinely loved Lemon Squeezy. great product, great team then it got acquired, and the platform slowly stopped moving for my business, it was honestly damaging so, Stripe only. boring and safe but today I'm making my first exception: @creem_io is now the official payments partner of the TMAKER Founders Room no affiliation before this, I tried it, handled my community launch with it, and it was an amazing experience the team moves so fast that we took it further: Creem is now also sponsoring the tmaker Founders Room π for members, that means: - 0% fees on affiliate revenue, for life - 0% fees on your first $10,000 in revenue processed - priority support I love backing teams that are still hungry and building πͺ
