You shipped. Nobody came.

Free guide → your first 100 users, zero ad budget, 30-day plan.

It's Called: The "I Should Of Started Marketing Before I Built My MVP (But I Didn't)." Guide.

DM me "GUIDE" and I'll send it now.

@BhattBuilds You’re right.

However if you can’t afford the few that do, or you are getting more people who do that than don’t, your product isn’t good enough.

Again, the whole point of a free tier is to provide enough value to get them to pay.

@DanielRoachLFC It’s fantastic saying all this but how effective will it be when we’re playing against a low block to 90 minutes with the odd breakaway? How will he adapt to something he’s never had to deal with before?

[Dave | Distribution For Founders @DaveDoesAI]

@Danny7Gallagher While I agree with what you’ve said, he then got rid of half the team, changed the tactics, and started making wild accusations like we didn’t have players of the calibre of Jacob Murphy.

He done what needed to be done then completely undone all his hard work. Himself.

@RileyByron37817 @user363819369 Doesn’t matter how good the players are if the system doesn’t work.

Don’t look for luxury, look for heritage. You’re welcome.

[@levelsio @levelsio]

It's not just luxury hotels that are a scam, it's almost everything that's luxury that's a scam

Gf bought Rimowa suitcases, expensive and supposed to be better quality than regular ones, but of course they're much worse

They keep breaking, like all of them, cracks in the handles, cracks in the sides, it's just cheap plastic shit but it costs $1000 or more

Rimowa was bought by LVMH in 2016 which has an average profit margin of 66% and whose strategy is to increase prices by ~5x, decrease costs by ~5x and then create artificial scarcity (limited availability per shop) because people want what they can't get (not me though but many)

LVMH is kinda like the luxury version of private equity, it makes everything more expensive and worse and hard to get!

@jpeg561590 @AnfieldSector @FabrizioRomano How is it stupid? He has no loyalty to the club or the manager. His agent has done the right thing by telling him how much he could earn elsewhere, and what the signing bonus might be.

Arsenal have been handed this title on a silver platter.

@FA_PGMOL are a joke and refereeing standards are the worst I’ve seen in 35 years of watching football.

Games gone, and I don’t think we’re ever getting it back.

@Danzomanzo92 @Falcon0nX @AlDefinitely Haven’t happened? I’ve got an iPhone asking me to verify my age every half an hour, a PlayStation telling me if I don’t verify my age I won’t be able to use features deemed adult (one of which is chat), I have to give biometric information to use Social media… not far off.

[Dave | Distribution For Founders @DaveDoesAI]

@pirateboy75 @TheReturnOfLCF @Apple I’m having this exact argument with Sony at the moment, why do I need to provide ID for an account which was opened 3 days after PSN launched… 19 years ago.

[Dave | Distribution For Founders @DaveDoesAI]

@LinkedInHelp and support has to be the worst I’ve ever encountered.

Agent gave me advice which led to being restricted. He then closed the chat when he realised what he’d done.

Almost impossible to find a help page you don’t have to be logged in to use.

Joke of a company.

@Jenny_1884 The profit margin on care homes is typically less than 10%. Do your homework on what it actually costs to give someone round the clock care.

[Dave | Distribution For Founders @DaveDoesAI]

@onehappyfellow The amount of people who don’t realise this is satire is alarming.

[Dave | Distribution For Founders @DaveDoesAI]

@Sjs541846776087 It’s not all about trophies.

You have zero ball knowledge.

[Dave | Distribution For Founders @DaveDoesAI]

@pcshipp Why? You’ve built an app that’s got over 500 users, why would you sacrifice building upon that for something new?

[Dave | Distribution For Founders @DaveDoesAI]

Can’t tell you how frustrating posts like this are.

If you’ve have 520 users but none of them pay you, DO NOT quit because of a “failed product”! Do a deep dive on marketing, your ICP, your USP… and figure it out.

Quitting after clear success is insane.

[pc @pcshipp]

It’s been 35 days, and I’ve finally lost hope in my first app

- $0 MRR
- $6 revenue
- 520 new users

(All users from ASO)

It took me 35 days to fail my first app

[Dave | Distribution For Founders @DaveDoesAI]

@pcshipp Something in your marketing is clearly broken, but if you’ve got 520 new users you most definitely haven’t failed.

Feel free to drop me a message to discuss further.

[Dave | Distribution For Founders @DaveDoesAI]

Are we witnessing the death of @claudeai?

The complete leak of the codebase and the issues this week with users hitting rate limits is like they're tying their own noose. 😬

@KevinNaughtonJr Coding has never been the most, it was the barrier to entry.
