1 year ago I had 0 followers.

Today I have 32k followers + $13k/mo SaaS.

Some call it luck. I call it using data to systematically beat the algorithm.

Here's my X growth playbook:

@emanueledpt That's a big if lol

[James Zack @JamesZackX]

@andi_losing But you never learn what doesnt work for you without trying it right? I dont think you wasted time 😄

[James Zack @JamesZackX]

@adriamatz @Robert_Watkin_ Thats great to hear. I think for shorts, i can probably re-purpose my long form into shorts clips? 🤔

[James Zack @JamesZackX]

Honestly im juggling a 9-5 so i dont have much time 😂 but i feel like i would enjoy it a lot cuz i like going deep into certain topics. Can probably do 1 vid per week, but that should be fine right? (Ive never done it before btw lol)

I think as long as im willing to learn and continue with it (im in it for the long game) then i should be good right?

Really appreciate your tips man <3

[James Zack @JamesZackX]

@adriamatz @Robert_Watkin_ Interesting! Tbh im considering going into youtube. Would you recommend it? How does it compare to indie hacking? (Granted, you can probably start youtube and later sell apps to your audience? 🤔)

[James Zack @JamesZackX]

@nico_jeannen Bro you can request to be placed on the old pricing, then you'd have 500 requests for $20!

[James Zack @JamesZackX]

@adriamatz @Robert_Watkin_ Wooow thats crazy impressive lore hahaha

Do you think you would consider getting back into it to make a living from it? Or do you think indie hacking is better?

[James Zack @JamesZackX]

@T_Zahil Our marketing cant catch up lol

[Thomas Sanlis 🥐 @T_Zahil]

If my impressions of X don't improve in the coming weeks, I'll likely switch to autopilot mode:

Just posting, no longer engaging, and focusing my energy on another acquisition channel.

[James Zack @JamesZackX]

@adriamatz @Robert_Watkin_ Yooo that's crazy good haha! Why did you quit it and go into indie hacking? Super curious!

[James Zack @JamesZackX]

26 days ago I started a 30-day challenge to build my first $1k SaaS, on top of a 9-5.

Building wasn’t the hard part.

Energy, distribution, and showing up every night and weekend was.

Didn’t hit $1k (yet).

But I shipped, charged money, launched publicly, and learned more than months of planning ever taught me.

Still finishing. Still grateful I started.

@raroque Congrats!! 👏👏👏🤩

[James Zack @JamesZackX]

@marclou Bro cant stop winning

[James Zack @JamesZackX]

@marclou Everyone says ship fast, but you wont get anywhere if you dont learn and pivot the strategy each time right?

Its not only about shipping products

[James Zack @JamesZackX]

@FlorinPop17 Wow nice, with a 9-5 or full time?

[James Zack @JamesZackX]

Day 25/30 of my $1k SaaS challenge.

Recap so far:

&gt; validated a problem
&gt; built an MVP
&gt; made my 1st sale ever
&gt; launched on X &amp; Reddit
&gt; got traffic, but no new sales

Lesson:

&gt; doing all the "right" things does NOT guarantee the outcome you expect.

We iterate and win 🫡

@KevinNaughtonJr Appreciate the motivation but...

This advice is COMPLETE BS

Example: if i dont quit playing chess against the world champion, i will NOT eventually win

You can persist and forever fail if your strategy is bad

Better advice: if you dont quit and keep learning, you'll probably win

Learned this the hard way
