I failed!
I did not achieve my goal of $500 / month by August 1st
I won't quit though
I still haven't figured out distribution, but that's a normal part of the journey. Every founder had to get over that hurdle at some point, and I will too
Stay tuned 👀
I’m also bullish on voice AI for app onboarding. I absolutely hate filling out long forms. It would be a lot easier if I could talk to a charismatic AI for 2 minutes
I’m so bullish on voice AI
I want to press a single button on my phone to start a conversation (like siri)
The AI should respond instantly to short questions
For deep research tasks or actions it should complete asynchronously and notify once finished
Also, the AI should use…
Also I did crack a tiktok format that works (got 175k views). I’m planning on making a bunch more videos and see if it can drive more sales. Will keep you all posted
“Build an audience before building a product”
No. An audience is only one of many distribution channels. And you have no idea if it’s the right one
Also your first few products will flop regardless
50% distribution / 50% product development in parallel is the way
I always thought customer interviews were exclusive to product development. I realize now that they are also essential for marketing. Understanding your users better will help you reach them more effectively
I sincerely apologize to all 50 daily active users of GrepJob who were impacted by the outage today.
At the end of the day it’s our fault for not implementing multi cloud failover and not pushing GCP support engineers hard enough.
We will do better next time
