i am usually not the best at timing but this one I got right 😁

first time I have to refuse clients that hard 😬 this is weird but the Bazzly waitlist is getting filled faster than we can invite people we're doing everything we can to scale the infrastructure but that takes time

don't tell me this convert well ... this is the landing page "hero" of ****sfield it goes against every good UX pattern I learned to be successful is it that they are so popular that they don't even have to say what they do? i am speechless

damn, this went better than expected 🤯 the tweet didn't blow up yet, we got an instant $10k+ MRR that's the state of backlink: - people say "never buy them" - but they fuel AI citations... - so every big brand gets them anyway and Outrank is now the most relevant offering

Marc Lou spent 90 minutes in the tmaker Founders Room and answered everything the gems that stuck with me: 1. his DataFast launch got 1,000 likes and $300 MRR. that's what his entire audience was worth. word of mouth took it from $300 to $25k/month. an audience gives you a shot, it doesn't make the product work 2. he builds "clickbait features". before shipping anything he asks: would users screenshot this? the DataFast globe exists because of that question. your customers sharing beats you promoting, every time 3. he doubled his prices with a 30-day notice to existing users. MRR 2x'd. (maybe I pushed him on this one 😅) 4. his whole AI setup is Codex + localhost. yes, that's it no agent stack, no 10 subscriptions he said 90% of new AI tools are just noise. he is the most productive shipper I know and he has the most boring stack 5. he never kills projects, he "lets them be" all 35 of his projects are still live, support still answered one of them had zero customers for a month, he kept using it himself and kept shipping.. first customer came 2 days before our call next Friday, we do it again opening the tmaker Founders Room for the next 4 days so you can join: http://tmaker.io/founders see you there

let's assume SEO traffic is actually dead the only way to make ChatGPT and Claude to mention your product is still through finding about you on Google & Bing invest accordingly

🚨 launching: backlinks-only subscriptions for Outrank 🚨 at least 500 people have asked me the same thing in the last 2 months: "can I just buy the backlinks? without the content plan?" and today we're making it live 🤩 we've placed 25,000+ backlinks through Outrank. that whole backlinks engine is now available on its own, without the blog writing if you've already got your blogs running and you're just missing the backlinks, this is for you what you actually get: - real blogs only. DR 40+, real clicks, verified in GSC - a full article written around your link, not a line stuffed into an old post - dofollow, your anchor word for word - #1 spot in roundup articles, screenshot included - every link monitored for 90 days. if it drops, you get refunded automatically a DR 60 link is ~$150, which is honestly wild compared to what agencies charge for worse start here: http://outrank.so/backlinks

Marc was an incredible guest now tell me ... who else do you want to have an AMA with? drop them below 👇👀

people are super curious about http://Bazzly.ai it's basicaly Outrank but for Reddit it will get you traffic, in auto-pilot it's soo good that we couldn't serve everyone we had to close signups for the last 2 months we're slowly letting people IN now slowly so quality stays high

incredible that 2 of my products are listed seeing real people benefiting from my product is what drives me every day - feeling super proud here ❤️

I always tell myself my newsletter readers should be able to do this: > copy-paste the content into Claude, ask it: "apply those advices to grow my product" should work out of the box

RT Ezra 🎉 Exceeded 7k MRR today!! Here are 3 things I do for marketing every day that have helped: 1. Bazzly — Been using @bazzlyai from @FilipPanoski. Definitely recommend it for finding leads on reddit. I know for sure we've converted some customers from this channel. But, also appreciate that it helps GEO/AEO by getting your product name out there on reddit. We're getting quite a bit of traffic now from ChatGPT and seeing Perplexity and http://Claude.ai show up more too. 2. Outrank — Kinda love @outrank_so from @tibo_maker. I built my own in-house process for writing content, but it still took quite a bit of management on my end and it didn't help us build backlinks. Now we're at 12DR and hit 300 clicks in the last 28 days. 3. Meta ads — Wasn't sure how profitable meta ads would be for us, but it's turning out to work well. It's obviously a much more expensive way to grow, but with the above a lot of our marketing is on auto-pilot. Going to keep focusing on these 3, but curious about other channels like LinkedIn and even focusing more on X. Haven't been super focused on X lately since the above has been working and I've been putting most of my energy into improving the product. Improving our conversion rate across our funnel and our retention our top priorities right now.

here is how i'll celebrate my $100m profit

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 × 365 days × 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

my wife wants to help so I can acquire more SaaS 12 sponsor placements now open on my wife the forehead tattoo is a lifetime deal 👀 share your bid

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

RT Rob Hallam So @tibo_maker built a site called outliked. The more likes this tweet gets, the higher I rise on the leaderboard. So I had to list SuperX :D (even if it feels like cheating)

result from my outbid bet - it was (somewhat) successful 🔥 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 🙏

noo wayyy Outrank got outliked by outbid (read that twice if you need to 🤣) but already 3.5k likes on http://www.outlike.lol pretty cool 🙌

may end sooner than expected 😱 paid for too much stuff i guess

higher price = lower churn sounds wrong but let me explain we launched Tweet Hunter at $9/month then raised prices, slowly $9 -> $19 -> $29 -> $39 -> $49 over roughly 12 months price went up 400%, and churn went DOWN here's what I have learned about pricing and churn from that: 1. churn is decided at signup, not at cancellation your pricing is a psychological filter on who comes in a bad-fit customer will leave in a month or two max. with low prices they come in fast because $9 says "it's someone's weekend project" and $49 says "it's a serious business built for serious operators" 2. the buyer changes with price, so the behaviour changes often if a $9/month user does not see value, they cancel right away (at this price, users generally come in to try or buy on impulse) but a $49/month user comes in with a goal and they usually try harder to get the value from it and if they have issues, they raise support tickets that make the product better what cheap pricing actually costs you: 3. cheap customers are the most expensive ones low prices don't just bring in users who leave fast, they bring in the most demanding people you'll ever serve more unreasonable feature requests, more support tickets, more refunds, and less revenue to cover any of it. I still do support on all 6 products, so I feel this one directly 4. your pricing decides what kind of users you let in, and that changes what YOU build low prices quietly cap what direction you take your product in how to actually raise prices: 5. raise slowly and ship while you raise $9 to $49 overnight is a completely different move than $9 to $49 across a year of shipping we shipped a lot on Tweet Hunter in those 12 months and I could see the difference in who was signing up 6. do not change the price for old users because for an old user, leaving means losing a rate they can never get back strongest retention lever I know that's lock-in though, not fit. split your churn by old price and new pric...

results so far 👀 not insane but not bad but I don't think it would work for anyone Outrank converts quite well and I think it's a good fit as it also sells traffic to business owners

only thing I can think of right now how I'll handle the fact that I need to sleep

you guys are gonna make me look dumb .. and @eugZolotarenko will fire me for wasting $12,000

sentenced to work all day to outbid others

why i thought this would be a good idea (but maybe I am dumb and I lost $12,000) 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 (lol), it's hard to get 3. the most effective way to get AI Mentions is through http://Outrank.so - i genuinely don't know a better software to get some go try it, people like it

RT ImAvibeCoder What is even more crazy that he payed $12k for this, is that LTV on outrank is $2k.

RT Praneeth 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"

just paid $12,000 to outbid others with Outrank now let's see if I just lost my money 👀

RT Eugene Zolotarenko We've just did a crazy thing 😅 Outrank is now #1 on Outbid .lol

RT Jonathan Wilke Super pumped to see fellow indie hacker @tibo_maker take the lead of http://outbid.lol 🥇🔥

RT Virgile RIETSCH You should join Tibo’s creator platform. I got paid 50$ for a video I recorded in 10 minutes. It ain’t much but it compounds.

signups for the tmaker Founders Room are open for 48 hours being upfront about this: yes, Marc Lou is doing an AMA with members on Tuesday. a lot of people asked to join because of it don't join for that a guest is in the room for 1-2 hours. the real value is the other 150+ bootstrapped founders solving each other's problems in a room small enough that people know your name if Marc is the only reason you want in, save your $99 if you want the room, it's open until Friday 👉 http://www.tmaker.io/founders then closed again

the product is so good that we cannot serve everyone and we had to close sign ups hope to accept new people early next week

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 😅 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

i think about this a lot the day where Claude (through Cursor) replaced a competing model by itself being the best coding model gives you such huge power

next Tuesday, Marc Lou is coming to the tmaker Founder Room live AMA with all members the guy started from 0 has shipped 20+ startups in public turned "ship fast" into a way of life 🤯 what would you ask him?

the new edge: having an AI-native 17yo in the team who's not afraid to ship

Outrank now lets you tell it what to research for keywords topics, angles, audiences. what to focus on and what to skip for eg: - "we sell to agencies, not freelancers" - "never suggest anything with 'free' or 'template' in it" - "prioritize comparison searches against ahrefs and semrush" - "skip how-to guides, we only want buyer intent" it saves those as global keyword instructions. write it once, every keyword research cycle after that follows it.

how to get your first 100 users, in 1:30 min by Sam Altman still solid

what an incredible move from Tally 🤯 (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 👏

this is gold, remember this your biggest asset is you your skills, your name & reputation remember to grow that too

my announcement videos are 1 prompt 1. drop post in Claude 2. it runs the Revid CLI 3. Fable 5 handles the back and forth 4. video comes back, still editable 5. post check my history:

Google AIO, ChatGPT, Grok, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot - this Outrank user is cited in all of them 🤩 Skin Perfection is a Shopify skincare brand. tiny team, so content shipped rarely and they were stuck around position 23 for the terms that actually sell 6 months on Outrank: organic clicks 22,650 to 42,500, impressions up 65%, avg position from 23 to ~10 💥 love seeing our users win like this ❤️ this is the reason we're super bullish on Outrank

we just cut AI video prices in HALF on Revid Ultra (Seedance 2.5): 200 → 100 credits per 5s Seedance 4K: 1000 → 500 Pro: 60 → 50 why: models got cheaper for us, price follows. wild concept apparently 👀 everyone is selling "unlimited" and making it impossible to generate with queue, throthling, rate limits ... we bill per second and auto-refund failed generations at 50% off now -> double the Seedance 2.5 footage live on Revid 🙌

RT Filip Panoski 2 months after using Outrank: 6 → 24 DR here's the best part: whole thing ran on autopilot. no manual work, no buying backlinks. just set it and forget. @tibo_maker and @eugZolotarenko cooked with this one.

you have power to give a 200% energy boost to someone: 1. stop scrolling 2. open tweet composer 3. write about the best tool you use small thing. but you might just provide the push an indie hacker needs to finally get some traction. here is my fuel for today:

who's taking sponsorships? 💸 I am building the BIGGEST list of creators want to send this list to BIG brands and get you offers 👋 reply below if you have an (even small) account and want $$

X continues to impress me if I exclude family and closest friends, there is no other place where i've received this level of support thank you all ❤️

RT Hari Prasad Life of a 9-5 and indie founder. Inspired by @tibo_maker (Revid AI episodes)

this is great because low-quality content generated by Claude will get penalized high-quality tools like http://Outrank.so will remove this watermark and because the content is well researched and high-quality, they will rank

RT Vadim 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 “yourcompany reviews.” 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. → Buy http://yourcompany-reviews.com → Publish your real customer reviews → Include names, dates & sources → Include criticism too → Link to it from your main site → 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 — including criticism. Now let's see if it works.

how do they get away with this? 1. claim it's free for 7 days 2. realize they go bankrupt 3. scam their users bonus: they announced it BEFORE Seedance 2.5 was even available 🤯 btw, Seedance 2.5 is on Revid 👀 a fair software that respects its users and delivers incredibly high-quality long videos, with character and scene consistency

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 🤩
