Day 1 of 180: My challenge to earn $1,000 online begins. I'll share all my discoveries and insights, using this as a way to organize my thoughts. It should be interesting if you wanna follow. Here’s where I am now:.

Amazing to see what London's craziest minds are building @demodaysai #buildinpublic

New startup coming soon 💪

There's so much time between cursor prompts, I feel unproductive. What do you do?.

Less than 3% of indie projects reach $1k MRR but there's not much difference between you at $0 MRR and them at $1k. it's all about the learning in between.

Unpopular opinion: everytime I read "unpopular opinion" I skip it.

This framework helps ensure every piece of content has a PURPOSE. No more shooting in the dark! It's not just marketing; it's educating prospects at the right time. What's your biggest content challenge right now? Share below! 👇.

⚠️ Important Caveat: If you're pre-10 customers, intensive content marketing might be a distraction. Focus on direct outreach, community engagement, talking to users – things with faster feedback loops. Content's ROI often takes 6-8 months. Validate first!.

🚀 So, where should early-stage founders (like many of us!) focus?.DON'T start at 'Unaware' – it's a long game for conversions. 🎯 Sweet Spot: Solution Aware & Product Aware. Capture those actively looking to buy or comparing options. Get those initial sales!.

🔴 Level 5: Most Aware. These are your power users, industry experts, or potential partners. 🤝 Content: Advanced use-cases for "TaskFlow," partnership program info, deep dives into unique features. Think "Become a TaskFlow certified consultant.".

🟣 Level 4: Product Aware. They've heard of "TaskFlow"! Now they want specifics. 🛠️ Content: "TaskFlow vs. Asana," "How TaskFlow integrates with Slack," "Getting started with TaskFlow's kanban boards." This is education for warm leads!.

🟢 Level 3: Solution Aware. They know tools could help (like project management software), but not YOURS specifically. 🔍 Content: "Best project management tools 2025," "Top X ways to organize team tasks," "TaskFlow alternatives" (yes, feature yourself!).

🟡 Level 2: Problem Aware. The pain is real! For "TaskFlow" users, it's: "My projects are always chaotic," "How to stop missing deadlines?".📝 Content: Address their specific pain. "Signs your project management is broken," "Fixing disorganized workflows.".

Let's use a fictional project management tool, "TaskFlow," as an example:. 🔵 Level 1: Unaware. They don't even realize messy projects are their core problem!.🤯 Content: Super broad. "Boost team productivity," "Entrepreneurial efficiency hacks.".Goal: Gentle intro.

The game-changer? Realizing not all customers are at the same stage of awareness. I stumbled upon a framework (thx Eugene Schwartz!) that finally clicked: The 5 Levels of Awareness. It's GOLD for SaaS founders. 💡.

Ever feel like you're just churning out blog posts hoping something sticks? That was me. Chasing every keyword under the sun for my (previous) SaaS, with zero real strategy. Sound familiar? 😬.

Stop burning time on content that goes nowhere! 💸 I learned the hard way: 'spray and pray' marketing is a recipe for wasted hours & empty pockets. But there's a smarter way to make your content actually convert. 👇.

The takeaway? Find a niche, build a targeted product, optimise onboarding, leverage organic trends, but don't shy away from scaling aggressively with paid advertising while testing and adapting your creatives for each platform.

Tik Tok ads mirrored their organic success format (reaction + caption + tutorial). Meta ads tested more unique angles due to better audience targeting capabilities. Google ads included video ads (YouTube/Shorts) and search ads targeting specific questions (e.g., "what are the ten.
