The House Oversight Committee is holding a hearing on UAPs in the next few minutes. Apparently some big news dropping on confirmation of existence of government programs, retrieved aircraft, non human intelligence with names/evidence, etc.
Should be interesting.
For $3,000 I’m able to create & distribute more content, to more people, than a 100+ person organization 30 years ago.
$1M business idea framework:
1. Find a $1B platform
2. Build apps for their marketplace
3. Reach 1000s of customers instantly
4. Make a lot of money
Example:
It's all about the right framing.
The learning Pyramid
i don't think the Y Combinator "pocket guide of essential advice" ever gets old
You can validate consumer app startup ideas in a 24 hours now
DON'T DO THIS:
1. Design -> 2. Build -> 3. Marketing
FASTER, RISK-FREE WAY:
1. Market selection: Find TikToks in a niche, if ANY unsponsored content exists then that's opportunity. (e.g. "hey guys here's 3 hacks for adhd"... creator didn't plug an app? great you just found a pain point without an app solution)
2. Design: Design your app screens to look good in a TikTok. Otherwise just talking about an app on video is too abstract and no one will be curious enough to download
3. Build: Code app in a day with the help of AI
4. Marketing (just replicate ideas you found during research you already did in #1)
If it doesn't hit, either iterate or select a different content market and try again
How learning actually happens:

If you work at an AI company, do your team a favor and share this chart in your slack
LLM inference costs are dropping roughly 10x per year for a given performance level
Does your 2025 plan account for that?
great saas advice from one of the most customer obsessed founders i know.
the moat is you
being yourself is a competitive advantage
every day, 1 hour on 'marketing'
sorry, cant just code all day long
Shipping crap in 3 days is not an option.
Polishing every edge case for 3 months is not an option, too.
Find balance:
its actually insane that one dude from his moms basement can do all of this:
all in just ~1 year! serious daily effort works.
Living in a small country means yours posts mostly reach nearby people, making it hard to get more than a few thousand views. So this only works really well if:
1. You use a VPN and remove your sim-card from your phone. (TikTok uses your sim-card and IP to detect location)
2. You live in a bigger country
1 hours a day spent marketing my app (making + posting 6 videos)
30,000 downloads with this routine last month, 100% free.
you too can grow any b2c app for absolutely free, no paid ads.
yes YOU CAN. YOU READING THIS.
HERE IS HOW TO GET 1000S OF DOWNLOADS THIS MONTH TO YOUR APP FOR FREE:
Open new account (instgram or tiktok first, or BOTH) scroll on it for 2 days, 15 min/day in your target audience. Save any videos you see that you could remake to promote your app (yes you'll need to think creatively for this)
On day 3, make some content! Based on 1 of the saved videos you have.
Make sure the comment, caption or end of video CTA is related/relevant to your app. If you just want views but no downloads, whats the use of this?
Start with 1 post/ day and after 30 days of this if you didnt hit a reel with 500k views then feel free to DM me if you need help.
Try to see what other apps are doing (can even look at mine) , and keep trying new formats, this is all about testing, but know that it IS POSSIBLE.

Once you find a winning format, double down on it. Each apps "winning format" is unique and this may take more than a month to find a true winner. Took me 300+ videos for my app. Now i post 3 a day on one account and 2 a day on another.
Don't rush into posting a million videos. Posting ONE a day that you have put reel creative thought into is much better than spraying out 2,3,4,5,6+ a day.
Stick to 1 a day per warmed account (account that is new and you scrolled on without posting for 2 days in your target audience)
Aim for short videos as algo LOVESSS watch time and comments. These are your two goals. MAKE content that drives comments and watch time
What type of content drives these the best? GOOD CONTENT! not slop. You can go viral if you let yourself try hard enough and keep going. I know you can. and it will be a nice boost to your app downloads and revenue.

okay now stop bookmarking this and just go do it, open a new account on tiktok/ instagram and warm it up.
I prefer instagram as main, then reupload to YT, TT and all others at the same time via @postbridge_
finally yes, the screenshot you see below is from my own tool post bridge. this is how ive been able to post AND MAKE 6 videos a day now after finding a winning format for my app that drives downloads. I upload and schedule all my apps content using this and it takes 10x less time!
You can do the same for $9/ month (10x cheaper than the cheapest service out there for this same thing)

HOW TO WARMUP ACOUNT RECAP:
Make new account, scroll on it for 15 mins /day for 2-3 days. Scroll, follow, comment and like posts that YOUR APP or product is relevant to only. This helps the algorithm know where to push your content to first. This is CRITICAL for tiktok especially as its hard to change later. You should never buy Old accounts, they suck, and are very hard to warm up or change the existing set audience. I use same email for all my tiktok accounts, most little things dont matter like this. If you dont get views following this then its most likely your content is not that great. Keep trying, and don't be afraid to stop posting for 2-3 days if you cant break 500 view mark on TT or IG.
OKAY NOW GO GO GO TRY IT!
