I used to hate Google Analytics 4 until I sat down and created these 5 reports.

I use all of them weekly and so should you…or just keep whining about how much GA4 sucks. Lets dive in...

fun dinner!

[Tim Soulo 🇺🇦 @timsoulo]

Even on short notice, I managed to pull together a few very cool folks for my mastermind dinner in Austin yesterday:

- Peep Laja @peeplaja — CEO @ Wynter. 3x Founder.
- Nick Christensen @NickAC1 — Head of Growth @ AppSumo
- Nick Gray @nickgraynews — Founder of Museum Hack and Best-Selling Author
- Neville Medhora @nevmed — Founder of SwipeFile & Kopywriting

I'm genuinely stoked about bringing Ahrefs Evolve to Austin in 2027, and getting to meet more of the local marketers and tech entrepreneurs along the way.

Live in or around Austin and wanna join the next one? Tag yourself below — I'm keeping a list. 🙂

they made it complicated to create an industry around it with agencies that are incentivized to spend more (% of spend fees)

Now they’re making it easier (MCPs) so everyone can be their own agency and spend more. The middle man is being cut out

@tferriss most self improvement content is bs, your self from the time you’re born till you die is the same. It doesn’t need improving, I think finding happiness is it the self is actually just rediscovering who your true self is by removing layers not adding.

cost: $0.60/month
Time saved: 2.5 hrs/week
Manual work: 5 min/week reviewing content my agent sources/writes

The real difference I think between automation and AI agents is one can think for itself and overcome with the right training.

I canceled every social media tool I was using.

I've used Buffer, Hootsuite, UNUM, and Marky. All great tools but I just don't need them anymore.

My AI agent does it all now with very little involvement from my side. Posts to Instagram daily at 8 AM. 28K followers. Zero missed days, this is my workflow...

[Nick Christensen @NickAC1]

My bulletproof list:
•⁠ ⁠Multi-service upload fallback
•⁠ ⁠Double-post prevention
•⁠ ⁠Token auto-refresh
•⁠ ⁠WhatsApp alerts for fatal errors
•⁠ ⁠Codec validation before upload

21 consecutive days and now zero failures to post.

@cathrynlavery have upped my monthly limits too many times 😭

[Nick Christensen @NickAC1]

@MrMooningg @clawzempic already doing most of this manually with model tiering. saving $500/mo without adding another proxy layer 🤙

[Nick Christensen @NickAC1]

openclaw is all fun and games until you have to refi your house to fuel your addiction

Did these 7 things and now on track to save about $550 this month so I can keep clawin:

1) Model tiering (Sonnet for cron/sub-agents) — $400-$500 saved

3) Killing unnecessary heartbeats — $50-$150 saved
4) Cron jobs replacing constant polling — $50-$100 saved
5) Sub-agents for heavy tasks — $30-$80 saved
6) Trimming system prompt/context — $20-$60 saved
7) Local tools over paid APIs — $10-$30 saved
