b2b marketing 101

first do direct response marketing that makes sales tomorrow

includes

  • cold email
  • paid ads
  • creator marketing
  • cold dms
  • remarket to everyone who touches the site

until you have exhausted these do nothing else

second do demand generation marketing that makes sales in the future

includes

  • bottom of funnel SEO
  • podcast about your industry
  • building social channel followers
  • grow email newsletters
  • use your media as leverage for partnership distribution

so often i see founders invest in long term marketing investments when they don't know if they'll be here in 12 months

dont do this

You can generate fake receipts, KYC or passports with Nano Banana Pro in just one prompt.

Previous models didn’t have this level of fidelity. It even gets the math perfectly right.

Obsolete systems using images as a verification method must be deprecated.

This is too good not to share! 🤯🍌 (sound ON 🔊)

If you thought infographics were great…wait until you see an animated infographic.

Workflow: @GeminiApp → Nano Banana Pro for the infographic → Veo to animate it.

Nano Banana 2 prompt:
"Create an infographic that explains the phases of the day perfect for a 6 year old, and in the style of: Distinctive claymation with wide expressive mouths, googly eyes, and charming humor. Matte clay textures, handcrafted props, and warm, practical set lighting define the look."

Veo prompt:
"Bring this image to life. Animate each little scene."

We are hiring & rapidly grow post-training at xAI! The team is at the frontier of RLHF, agents, and reasoning efficiency—in just a few months, we climbed from nothing to #2-3 @arena, #1 Search Arena & other tool use benchmarks, #1-2 in creative writing, and are Pareto-optimal on intelligence-per-dollar @ArtificialAnlys. We are expanding work on new posttraining x reasoning recipes, code, multimodality, evals, and economic productivity.

We are the smallest post-training team at a frontier lab, so you are guaranteed to be on the critical path. The structure is flat. Politics in territory claims do not exist. Compensation is competitive (& I will fight for you). Compute per capita is glorious. DM me if interested.

IMHO, for 80% of solo devs, the only right path is:

1) start with ASO and TikTok organics
2) invest all generated revenue into paid ads

Most people get stuck at step one, wasting years on monkey jobs with a pretty low ceiling of $1-3K/month.

I broke down where it's best to start – Apple Ads, Meta Ads, or Google Ads – in today's newsletter:
