Don't wanna be here?
Send us removal request.
I have a feeling that most devs are introverts
this is wrong right?

The battle is almost won
It's been kicking my ass
but we're almost there
"Why is my churn rate high"
That's where it all begun
It lead to the craziest rabbit
hole you can imagine
This meant
→ Capturing users
→ Torturing them with
questions
→ Interrogating them

Its deeper than numbers. in the few months
I've been playing around with 𝕏
I've met 700

→ Founders
→ Moms. Dads.
Sisters. Brothers.
→ Builders in buildinpublic
Whilst building on the
things i love
You know what

There's no point starting with an MVP
It's such as waste of time
We're designers
and engineers
If you want to WIN
a bit more
You gotta think like
a salesman
Make the first sale
before anything
How?
Email
→ Buy a list of 5K emails from Apollo
→ Use cold outreach to make

Everyone keeps saying 𝕏 is dead
Name one social media
platform where I can
1. Jump on online
2. Speak anyone, at any stage of
the startup lifecycle
3. Pick up on tips
and continue my day casually?
- Linkedin, you have to connect first
- YouTube, you're stuck in

I FAILED trying cold email outreach then hit gold
I thought
"This things a waste of time"
"It doesn't work"
"Why am i wasting my time"
You know what the
problem was?
I was the problem and
needed to prove it
There's 3 main areas
i started with
→ Email copy
→ Lead

Here's a daily reminder
that
→ Everything you need
is on 𝕏
→ Every connection
opens new doors
→ Your vision can
change the world
Try not to forget
that
→ Balance is key
→ Every failure is a
stepping

Give users a reason to promote your app
i used to do:
1. Get inspired
2. Finish UI design
3. Deploy
That's it. Done.
Yeah it was stupid
i know that now
building a product
is one thing
It shouldn't give me rights to
make UX decisions for users

There's no going back
My main goal next year
→ Multiply outreach strength for a

Ignoring new users should be
classified as a moral sin
After sign-up
1. verify emails
2. setup a GetResponse
Account
3. Create and add users
to a list
4. Create an autoresponder
sequence
Day 0 should be an instant
welcome email
Over the coming days and weeks

No matter what you do. Keep things simple
Because nobody likes to
go through 4 screens
Especially for a feature
they use daily
Its
→ Overwhelming
→ Irritating
→ Annoying

I've done this exact
mistake with Hypewize
It created confusion
It caused me to scrap

"I need to setup Stripe subscriptions"
That right there is an excuse
I hear a lot of this in

→ Its OKAY to start by just sending
stripe payment links

All of your problems can be fixed
by speaking to more people

I let AI close for me
Yup. You heard it
There isn't an exact
rule book
You've got
→ A/B testing copies
→ Leads
That's about as much as
anyone is going to share
Copies get ineffective
if its widely known

Give cold outreach a chance
I used to be scared too
→ Long setup process
→ Leads not respond
→ No Action
Felt beaten
imagine, almost quite....
Stupid. I know
I started getting lucky
it wasn't really luck, but here's how
→ Increased daily volume
→ Increased email

Life's too short to be scared
→ would anyone like it?
→ is it good enough?
→ i messed up right?
My best one....
→ "There's too much competition"
Who cares???
Last year i tortured
myself
For no reason at all
→ There's always going
competition
→ People will

Don't stress about adding Every. Single. Feature.
Yeah i tried it. Almost burn out
Just bcz I found it "cool" doesn't
mean its "needed"
At the end... Guess what??
Everything got

→ Pivoted
→ Outdated
You know what worked?
→ Listening... to feedbacks

Day 1 passed. No sale

My SINGLE biggest f*ckup when launching Hypewize?
I LAUNCHED WAAAYY TOO LATE
and NO...

How do i know?

SEO b.s. right after
→ Had time to add stripe subscriptions....
instead of using a payment link

"I can't figure out why nobody is reading my blogs"

Imagine this
- Spend 8 months building
- 3999 bugs & issues fixed
- 800K cold outreach
…
…
At the end
You meet up with an old friend
They comment
“Ohh you’re just lucky”
What would you do in this hypothetical scenario?
1. Say “Yes, I am”
2. Disagree
3. Say nothing

SEO is freaking power and most
people are doing it WRONG
→ Losing Sales
→ Losing customer
sure i do outreach
for the most part
That's the sales part
On the marketing side

is't going to get you anywhere

It doesn't matter what type of outreach your doing
→ Cold email
→ Cold calling
→ DM
You're NOT closing anyone
with the wrong timing
I'm talking about
sequences!!!!
You know what's
not true?
Thinking everyone is going
to say "YES"
"TAKE MY MONEY"
It just doesn't work
