           I'm working on 24 startups simultaneously (half a million b2b users, multimillion ARR) No VC funding, employees, calls, office, managers... Each business is 100% async over chat: > me: idea, design, UX & marketing. > comaker: coding, product & support. Why, how, what:

             Specialized AI agents are gonna beat the sh*t out of general agents. The tiny difference in their abilities make a huge difference in the outcomes. If I was the top 1% in any given niche, I’d bet my life on building an agent to automate my job, until someone else did that

           Unless you're selling crack who is reaching $1 mil in 5 months? It's taken me 5 years to get there, and even I feel like I've been lucky. Are some startups really getting there in half a year?

             I'll be canceled for saying this, but you dont need more marketing, you simply need to make your products better by talking to your 5 users. ..and, you dont need any real marketing effort to bring your first 5 users. just talk to your friends & network, and it'll do the work

             22. Campaigns. I tried giveaways (my own and in partnership with others). Didn't work at all. LTDs on app sumo brough the craziest rude & unhappy users. Black Friday coupon sales worked really well. I'll maybe do bundle campaigns.

             Aviation touches roughly 11% of U.S. GDP in some format, but with today’s air traffic control limitations, it’s also a cap on growth. AI can change that, not by replacing pilots or controllers, but by empowering them with smarter tools that open the skies to many more aircraft.

             22. Course I launched a directory guide where I use unicorn platform to teach students how to build web directories. Most directory guide buyers probably ended up using unicorn platform, so it's a win win for all 3 parties: me, unicorn, them.

             21. Free tools Perhaps the best marketing method for devs. You have fun creating free tools, share them on reddit and social media, often it's easier to get traffic since the tools are free and as a side effect you get traffic to your main tool. e.g. uigenerator . org

             20. Affiliate partners. Works pretty well for the effort I put into implementing it. Takes less than a day to implement. I started with 15% and had no interest. Changed to 33% and it picked up. Lesson learned. I use @ToltHQ for this

             19. Listings on other directories. Another passive channel that keeps bringing traffic on autopilot. I keep listing on new directories every day I even built a tool that does it for me:  https://t.co/UKFgAlqvII

             18. Directories. One of the best channels I have. They bring traffic on autopilot. It's easy to drive traffic to your directory than driving it to your main product(in most cases) P.S. my guide on ideating, building & growing web directories  https://t.co/OqlCYBBaqG

             17. Cold emails. Hired a pro, spent money and time, no results at all. I know someone gonna come and say "skill issue". Then when I ask "show me the proof" they will say "I can't, i had nda with my client". Perhaps if I hide behind freebies, it may work. I plan to try this.
