I do marketing at an early stage data infra startup. Ten days ago we did the whole launch properly, or what I thought was properly. LinkedIn, twitter thread, long form reddit posts. everything UTM tagged, reviewed twice, real numbers in the copy, no hype. I was proud of it. signups: zero. not a few. zero. Best reddit post got \~1000 views in twelve hours. 2 upvotes, 2 comments. Another one, 194…
Pre-revenue, tiny budget, needed a landing page up to start testing an idea. I did the thing everyone does and went searching for the best free AI website builder, tried a few over a weekend, and figured the results might save someone else the time. What I was actually optimizing for: get a decent page live for free, be able to edit it myself, and not fight the tool. What I found trying several…
Run paid social for a small DTC brand, spend sitting around a few thousand a month. For most of last year my bottleneck wasn't targeting or budget, it was that I couldn't make creatives fast enough to feed testing. By the time I shipped a batch of 3 or 4, the winners were already fatiguing. So I forced myself to ship roughly 20 in a month instead. Same spend. Mix of statics, a couple of carousels,…
If your team keeps saying “we need more bandwidth,” the problem is often not headcount. It is the amount of repetitive work sitting between an idea and a shipped campaign. A lightweight AI-assisted workflow can help trim that friction without turning your process into a black box. The goal is not to automate judgment; it is to remove the boring steps that slow down execution. Here is a practical…
Most automation tools require you to map out every step before anything works. That can be fine for simple processes. But what about the messy back-office tasks that people already know how to do, but are difficult to turn into workflows? That's where we built Caddi. Instead of building an automation step by step, you show Caddi how you do the task once. Caddi turns that narrated screenshare into…
Before I take another one of these calls I want to know what the deliverable is measured in. Not the story, the unit. So far I have been shown mention rate, share of voice, citation count and something called a visibility score, and no two vendors define any of them the same way. Mention rate against whose prompt set. Share of voice across how many models, at what sampling frequency, and does a…
Most growth conversations default to acquisition: more traffic, more ads, better conversion on the landing page. Retention rarely gets the same "channel" treatment even though the math is usually more favorable: it's cheaper to keep a subscriber than acquire a new one, and every point of churn reduction compounds monthly instead of being a one-time win. The experiment: instead of treating…
I built https://theslot.today around a simple growth idea: Instead of competing with dozens of ads, one product gets the entire homepage for the day. No feed. No ranking. No banner clutter. The first day brought almost 400 visitors, and Day 2 has already crossed 400 again. I’m curious whether a single, exclusive placement like this can become a useful acquisition channel for indie products and…
Our primary pain point at the moment isn't lead volume, but post-inquiry management. Because our notes, follow-up reminders, and data live across separate spreadsheets and inboxes, prospects occasionally drop off when response responsibilities aren't clear. To streamline our workflow, I'm looking into this hub to manage both our pipeline and follow-ups in a single system. Does it deliver on…
Context: early-stage SaaS, a few thousand visitors a month, just enough traffic to actually test something. Our hero headline was the clever one. A bit of wordplay, a bit vague, the kind of line that reads great to the founder and confuses everyone else. Signup conversion was sitting around 2%. I tested it against a version that just said plainly what the tool does and who it's for. No cleverness,…
