View quoted postfree tools have been one of the biggest growth channels for every SaaS i've built every niche has a few "free [thing] generator" searches sitting there with weak pages ranking for them you can build a good tool, own that keyword, and get niche traffic on your domain and tools get linked to in a way blog posts never do that's the reason we built Outrank's free tools builder and it's getting better every day 💥 you can ship free tools that do text-to-image with it so logo generator, avatar maker, og image generator, favicon tool anything where someone types a line and gets a picture back pick the one your audience is already searching for, describe it, and Outrank will build it and make it live on your site

RT Igwe Jaminel👽 Elon Vs. Sam 😡 Who's winning? Made with revid @tibo_maker
checking prompt 1,000 times but ... "improve user detention" "launch on Product Haunt" "help me launch my ass" "find me a profitable niece" "help me become a solo flounder" "create a new brunch" "shit it to production" "move them to the pain plan" "add social poop"
social media make people feel worse comparison trap: you measure your life against the influencer you worship, then wonder why you're miserable truth: if you shipped anything this year and do a bit better at, you're already doing better than 99% of people most never start. ever. I failed for 7 years before anything worked. 500k downloads, $0 revenue, one bankruptcy I was a loser in reality I was just learning stop comparing. keep shipping 💪
I was always too scared to share this video. Filmed it in Nov 2022, depressed and lonely after my 9-5. 4 years later I have: > Real purpose > $20k/month SaaS > The body I always wanted > A great life in SE Asia 🇹🇭🇻🇳 If I did it, you can too.
View quoted postthey said no to $2.5M in VC money for their 6 month old saas I would've done the same I can't say this enough: VC math and saas math are two different games. a fund needs you to swing for a billion or die trying a good saas business just needs happy customers paying every month most founders confuse the two and sign up for the wrong game this reddit story is a perfect example - tiny team, no full-time hires, and in 6 months they built one of the craziest organic growth stories I've seen 1200+ paying customers, 150k monthly visitors, MRR closing in on $50k. a VC saw it, loved it, offered $2.5m with a fast wire they rightly said no, and their logic was great too the term sheet had a liquidation preference. if things go wrong, investors get paid back first and founders keep the wreckage I get it, but the fund had nothing strategic to offer either no client intros, no distribution, no marketing muscle - just money and monthly check-ins and the biggest thing is their growth doesn't require capital they got here with almost no paid channels. LinkedIn and SEO did all the work you can't wire $2.5m into organic channels and make them compound faster money buys paid acquisition and headcount, and they needed neither see, to be fair, raising makes sense for things like hardware, long R&D cycles, markets where whoever scales first wins capital is the product there but a profitable saas growing 40-60% a month on organic channels is not that. raising there doesn't buy growth, it buys a boss if your customers are already funding you, you don't need a VC to do it
RT Kaido 🐉 Currently trying out @robj3d3 and @tibo_maker X growth app http://superx.so My weekly impressions are at 10K rn without actively doing much, so let’s see where this takes me I’ll report back and keep yall updated First impression: great product w great features 🔥

calling indie bootstrapped founders on 𝕏 I'm launching a community 🚨 every week people DM me asking to help and mentor them on growth, pricing, product, distribution and 20 other things, and every week I leave most of them on read not because I don't care, because I can't

i planned on launching tomorrow sent a single batch to people on the waiting list and already 44 people IN 🤯 full launch tomorrow
me ** launching paid community ** dude: can i have discount me: sorry no, this is not even launched and limited in size, want this to be high quality dude: talked with my wife, decided it's time to invest more in education, i subscribed .. i am speechless .. nothing could create more pressure to deliver I'll do everything I can to make this guy successful
people are sneaking into the community I haven't launched yet they found the link somehow and now they're in made my day ☺️ i want this to be high quality so I've decided to limit it to 150 seats for now more about this very soon
I'll give you $100 to roast my product we just rebuilt the entire Revid editor from scratch (Editor v2) I think it's our best work ever but tbh, I have no idea until people try to break it so here's the deal: reply "V2" below I add 2,000 credits ($100) to your account you try Editor v2 and tell me everything that sucks brutal feedback > polite feedback first arrived, first served go 👇
in 2018 I sat in a room with 15 people and told them the company was dead no money left no more salaries meaning, no more jobs.. those people trusted me. they had rent, plans and in some way, I failed them honestly, this is the hardest period of my life the servers were shut down right after, against my will. all data were lost... everything gone that game was MagiCats for 8 years I thought it was over now it's back. I rebuilt it mostly alone, I didn't want to pull anyone else into another risky bet what it is this time: - no ads - no microtransactions - no dark patterns - playing shared levels is free - one simple license if you want to publish I don't have a bigger plan than that. I just love this game and want to see it live ❤️
🚨 launching: Magicats Builder (beta) 🚨 my kid built a trap, sent me a link, and watched the death counter climb while I fail. that's the whole game, it's humiliating, they love it 🤣 I built this game back in 2017, with a 15-people team, we ran out of money, was never "done"

I'm shocked that my SaaS can make a $5,000 product video for just $39 here's how you can make one 1. find a cool product video that you like 2. feed it to Revid 3. feed in your logo and landing page 4. get a new motion graphic video about your own product it's just wild that it works and makes such stunning videos still can't believe we're giving this out for $39 what do you think?
French people are the best at 1 thing -> complaining so it's super easy to find problems to solve 😅
Am I crazy or is every successful indie hacker French? 🥐🇫🇷 @marclou @tibo_maker @floriandarroman @T_Zahil Who am I missing? 👀
RT Daniel Berk My friend @tibo_maker came on Moneywise with a distribution strategy I hadn't heard before. When building TweetHunter, he had no audience. So he created creative investors — 17 influencers who each got 0.1% of annual profits. For every single launch, 17 people were financially motivated to post, retweet, and amplify. It worked so well he replicated it on Taplio. Both sold for $8M. He now does $1M/month across his portfolio using the same distribution logic.
Outrank's LTV increased 33% while churn dropped ~20% I have never been more proud of those stats everything is improving and going in the right direction, showing Outrank is delivering insane value in most cases, YOUR growth is going to be directly correlated with the success of your own users so, seeing Outrank's growth makes me grateful for all the people we are helping, getting mentioned by AIs and getting more traffic thanks for following this journey ❤️
voice generation is FREE on Revid for the next 7 days I want more people to test what AI video feels like when you don't have to think about every generation costing money try: - product demos - faceless shorts - story videos - UGC ads - explainers - weird experiments for 1 week, voice is on us 👉 http://revid.ai go make something great (btw, this video was 1-shot by Revid, no manual edit)
most founders are bad at announcing what they ship tbh, it's hard to turn a feature release into an event most announcements are basically: "we shipped X" so we just added motion-graphics in Revid I used it to create this video, just 1 prompt NOT A SINGLE MANUAL EDIT. what I am doing now: - connecting it to my Mission Control agents - monitoring my git repo - picking the most impactful thing we shipped - automatically create a video to announce the new feature wild
the main reason is simple: validation > sales you don't need 2 platforms to validate a business once you've hit PMF, then think about other platforms, it's useless before that and will make any pivot MUCH MUCH harder to do
On X, I saw 95% of builders are building iOS apps than Android. They don't care about Android at all. Why? Is Android too bad in terms of revenue?
View quoted postwho want to help craft next episodes? if you're a great storyteller and love working with AI, DM me I'll be happy to pay to make more videos 💸 👋
guys I am cooking ... this artwork was designed by hand in 2017 enhanced by AI in 2026 if you want to teach your kids to "make", this game is for them.
I want my kids to BUILD, not just consume before Fable 5 got shut down, I had some time to work on a reborn of a game I created in 2017 it's almost ready if you have 6-12 yo kids, say hi 👋 I am looking for testers
quite incredible that AI can turn an article into a video with just 1 prompt absolutely LOVE the new motion-design mode added in Revid no edit.
this one is our best so far, really like it btw, share your script ideas for next episodes 👀 I'll consider every idea 👇
imagine having AI agents updating your app 22 times per second what a new world we live in
stop innovating ❌ the guy who's shipped more "hit products" than almost anyone in history said this Mark Pincus built FarmVille, Words With Friends, and Zynga Poker 8 of his 10 launches became hits. millions of users, real revenue, the kind of products people actually know his framework is the opposite of what you've been taught: copy what's already proven, make one thing so good that 10 out of 10 users say "fuck yeah," then add one new twist that will probably fail anyway he calls the refusal to copy "moral arbitrage" we won't do it because school told us copying is cheating, which means the edge sits wide open for whoever has the least ego this is basically how I've built my entire portfolio: Revid, Outrank, SuperX, PostSyncer - even Tweet Hunter and Taplio - none of them are new ideas short video, SEO, growing on socials, all existed before me I just picked proven categories and obsessed over making one thing meaningfully better, to make my product x10 better compared to competition innovate by making the product better not by creating a completely new category

everyone thinks the US government bullied Anthropic into killing Fable 5 I think Anthropic wanted it here's my 5-part theory 👇 ··· part 1: Fable 5 was a hit it's the most powerful model Anthropic has ever put in public hands, and people jumped on it fast the problem is Anthropic has been compute-starved for the better part of a year. rate limits, peak-hour throttling, outages. they admitted it themselves in may and Fable 5 costs double what Opus does a hit product is a good problem for most companies. for a compute-starved one, it's just a bigger bill ··· part 2: Amazon found the jailbreak not some random researcher. Amazon 🤔 the company that's both a major Anthropic investor and one of the clouds running its models they found the flaw, took it straight to the government, and the government told Anthropic to fix it or pull it ··· part 3: Anthropic said no they called the jailbreak narrow and said other models like OpenAI's GPT-5.5 can do the same thing they probably knew refusing would force a shutdown, which let them save face so the government hit Fable 5 with an export control and Anthropic had to kill it for everyone a company refusing a safety request right after filing for an IPO is not normal behavior unless losing the model was never really a loss 🧐 ··· part 4: they were already rationing it before any jailbreak, before any of this, Anthropic had announced Fable 5 was coming off its subscription plans on june 23 their words: they'd put it back when "sufficient capacity allows" plain version: they were bundling their most expensive model into existing plans at no extra charge, which is brutal to serve at scale the shutdown just took it the rest of the way, eleven days before Anthropic was going to limit it themselves ··· part 5: the victim becomes the hero "we can't serve our own flagship" is a humiliating headline "the government is censoring us" is a different story and remember, days before launch Anthropic was publicly calling...
hot take: keyword volume is one of the most overrated metrics in SEO a 200/mo keyword from someone ready to buy is often worth more than 20k/mo keywords that’s why we shipped promptable keyword research in Outrank you can now order: “build comparison pages” “focus on listicles” “avoid beginner keywords” “find competitor gaps” “prioritize keywords that can lead to signups” one of the most powerful and impactful thing we shipped 👇
i fell for this trap 10 years ago thinking raising money had value by itself it doesn’t fundraising can make you feel validated before customers actually buy that false signal is dangerous you can spend years building something no one wants bootstrapped founders don’t get that luxury they have to create value from day 1
PSA: no one cares about bootstrapped founders. That’s because bootstrapped founders help no-one but themselves.

I am such a bad friend 🤦♂️ I spent the last 30 days telling all my friends that they need to switch from Claude to Codex I need to apologize to all of them now ...
View quoted posthonest question: if I buy back Tweet Hunter, what should I do with it? I already work on SuperX which is now better but that would make an incredible story
if you're selling your startup - don't I sold my startups for $8m & I'll never sell again quick context: I sold Tweet Hunter and Taplio for $8m in 2024. $2m upfront, the rest as an earnout based on performance - on paper, a dream exit in reality, 3 things broke me first, I gave up my baby. the products I spent years building, the vision I had in my head all of it went to someone else. and now I sit here watching the new owners ship things I'd never ship, kill features I loved, and just make the product shitty looking at Tweet Hunter like this hurts more than I expected it to 😞 -- second, the earnout was kind of a 2-year prison we wanted a high multiple, so we agreed to performance-based milestones that meant 2 years of waking up every single day knowing the only thing that mattered was hitting aggressive revenue targets I was technically still running the company but I had a boss now: the contract 🥲 hitting milestones used to feel like winning but with an earnout it flips. every win is just dodging a loss and missing one doesn't feel like falling short - it feels like being a loser -- third, the money itself breaks you - nobody warns you about it you have no idea what to do with that kind of money you don't get the time to adjust to it and you start taking bad decisions. you stop identifying as the same person you were before and you go a little crazy, faster than you think and then comes the worst part after all this, when I got back to building, I realized everyone around me already saw me as the "successful guy who exited" and that froze me for months I couldn't ship anything new because I was scared of breaking the perception I've talked to a lot of founders who sold their companies. every single one of them feels this but I got back to it anyway - building is what I love and today I'm building a SaaS portfolio that crossed $1m MRR this year so if you're sitting on a term sheet right now, do me a favor don't read what the buyer is offer...
yesterday I burned $500 in 1 prompt fable-5 is the first model where I stop and think before running prompts, considering the cost
It's going to be pretty sad once Claude Code subsidy goes away... There is no way I will be able to spend thousands of dollars on tokens every month... Until that happens, going to use it to the max...

I joined a new project in the Reddit space we've been working in stealth mode for the last 2 month. what we did: - updated positioning - upgraded feature set - fixed churn - made sure results are real if you feel Reddit is a great place to promote your product, I am opening
X (Twitter) is the least cited social platform on ChatGPT 🧐 across every recent study on AI citations, the trend is the same: - Reddit dominates - YouTube is a strong second - LinkedIn is rising fast - Instagram and Facebook show up too - but X barely registers so here's the playbook to get cited on ChatGPT: 1. fix your SEO foundations first. use Outrank to write blogs and get backlinks to build topical authority in your domain. so your blogs can be cited and ranked 2. get on Reddit. warm up your account with karma. contribute genuinely. don't look at quantity, look at quality. one thoughtful thread beats ten promotional drops 3. don't skip YouTube. if you don't know how to make videos, use Revid to generate them and post on YouTube 4. post about your products on LinkedIn too - the problems it solves, the insights you have day to day 5. expand to forums too. Quora and similar Q&A platforms feed AI search the same way Reddit does hope it helps! 🤝
there is a pattern: 1. product is successful 2. product gets acquired 3. product goes shitty happened to Lemon Squeezy, Tweet Hunter, ScrapingBee, and tons of others ... better to invest time and money in products that won't get acquired PS: i have this new rule, I won't sell ever again 😏
SEO is NOT dead! at least for the people using Outrank 😇 here's what it does for you on autopilot: - finds your keywords - writes in your voice, with your real expertise and opinions - handles internal linking - builds real contextual backlinks - refreshes your old content - publishes straight to your site I use it for all our products - that's how I know it works 🤩

at almost 200k followers, my feeling: 1. every new product I build gets a real shot, no success guarantee, a following doesn't make bad product successful, but at least they get a shot 2. direct communication channel with users and easy create such loops: feedback -> improvements -> release tons of other benefits but those are the biggest ones imo
As a founder, what is a tangible benefit of having a large X following? Easier to hire? Easier to fundraise?
