My new flat has a coworking space and a gym.

MRR update: We're a little over $26K MRR now. Madness 🥳.
We get $5k through direct transfers and crypto.
We've doubled our MRR since Aug 2020 (prev. at $12K MRR) 💃 .
Compounding growth is real 💪.

Purely anecdotal, but IMO Google's purge of AI content has begun 💀.
A website I know that's been plagiarising and using AI content has experienced a swift fall in traffic.
It's so painful to look at.

How to market your startup 🚀
1. Cold outreach to get beta testers 👋
2. Validate customers will pay 💰
3. Devise a loyalty campaign to encourage beta testers to talk about your product 🗣
4. Build an audience 📢
5. SEO 🤖
6. CRO 🧪
7. Email marketing 📨
In that order!

Update: $32K MRR (~$4K from Web3 peeps) for
@embarqueio
, my SEO content agency.
Our initial 2022 goal was $40K MRR. Wild that we've gone from $144K to $384K ARR in 6 months.
To 1M ARR 🚀.

Hi Twitter! I’m back, back! Here’s my 2023 in review.

Too many people share “How I got to $500k ARR in 6 months” but don't share how much money they burned to get there.
I’ve probably lost $250k - $300k from silly mistakes. 🫥

Couldn't have done this without the team 💗 .

I noticed it makes punctuation errors very often and tends to write run-on sentences. 🤔

Unpopular opinion: if you're not prepared to put in 10 hours/day then the startup life is probably not for you.
It almost can't be avoided if you don't have a big network or lots of capital to start with.
You can only think about work-life balance when your startup picks up 😕
