Approaching midnight after a full day of working my day job. I don’t work my night job tonight (I know lucky me)
but I’ve been working on apps, and marketing knowledge since the boys went down.
I also combed my dog for fleas cause she was scratching a lot (no fleas, lucky)
I’ll do this again tomorrow. Will grind until my family and I can taste freedom away from the need of w2 jobs. To work for myself, to work for my family. To gain a family first life vs a work first life.
I’ll get there. I’ll absolutely get there.
Yo if Will gets banned from life he will have officially been banned on every platform.
Jk hope you’re good @willbakerships
Fuckkk main jobs been busy lately.
I only need 25k/month with 85% margins to afford trading it for apps.
The difficulty of getting there while working it is starting to show its challenges.
While revenue has been lower since stopping all paid ads.
It’s still trickling in.
Build apps with ai and get some extra income people.
Think I’m starting to figure something out
@carlmonkft is an absolute goat.
About to implement his next tip.
30k on the week for that post.
4,299 in the last 20 hrs we will see how that goes.
Not sure about all you peptide apps out there.
But the removal of the calculator function has increased my churn drastically.
Attempting the best resolutions I can but it’s hard out here for a pep
Tell your ai agent what font to use when building your app.
Put motion between screens
Haptics on buttons
Build apps that feel good.
I mean monthlies are such a small percentage of my customers.
Annual is clearly the way to go.
But then I have days like today where 30$ for for people continuing to use my app feels good.
Build apps people.
Building a really thorough product is hard.
Doing it solo is even harder.
Something that winds up doing > 10m ARR. needs to not only fix a pain point, but needs to save someone money.
I’m working on something I think could be huge.
While building iOS apps of course :)
Trying to implement the advice of people doing better than me.
Appreciate the app community a ton.
Build apps.
I actually fail to see why this is bad?
Someone took an opportunity and it’s working for them. It also might not have.
As long as they aren’t doing all of the stuff that got prayer lock banned they are just fast to market
If you aren’t constantly looking for highsfield alternatives are you even making ai content??
FAQ on Sume API
- is it really 0% markup : yup. no cap. pay as you go
- how will you make money : not from the models. our thesis is that, as Peter Thiel argues in Zero to One, perfect competition competes away profits. we think model APIs are heading in that direction, so we’re just pricing at cost before the market forces everyone else to we’re just getting there first. and probably we’ll eventually charge a "separate" SaaS subscription for workflow tools.
- does this make economic sense : if this works, we’re losing a few million dollars in potential model margins on the table at most. but if Higgsfield cuts prices to compete with us, they should be giving up hundreds of millions. so let them cut prices. that’s counter-positioning. checkmate.
- can i upload faces to Seedance? : yes. you need a “creation rights” agreement to enable that, and the agreement itself costs quite a bit. my guess is that platforms like Higgsfield put especially high markups on Seedance partly to recoup that cost. we just absorbed it and enabled face uploads anyway. getting more users matters more to us!
- what’s the long-term plan : keep offering credits at cost, grow our user base, and build services on top. especially workflow tools covering everything from ad research to campaign execution. don’t want any of that? you can just keep using the models at cost.
The APIs will be converged into original cost anyway. We're so glad to be in this kind of position.
