<今日热点吐槽>

- KOL接广告和卷流量

没有什么是长久的 不变的只有变化
KOL可能下个版本就变成了明日黄花
就像是这一轮VC
大部分都被抛弃了一样
不变的只有顺应时势的强者们
那无论是做什么他们都会赚钱的

就像那句话说的
大环境不好
咋滴你是破坏大环境的人啊？

- 很多人交易所亏钱套麻了

最近的很多人的主题是找工作
我个人觉得戒掉合约
是开启智慧之门的钥匙
强如x佬最后也不是靠合约拿的大结果
甚至他复盘合约最终是没赚钱…

- 跑会和找工作

web3是一个难得不需要工作经验
就可以工作的地方
因为其实大部分地方
既不知道怎么做
也不知道要做什么
要有把大家都当草台班子的自信
也得有对一路血雨腥风杀出来的人的
恐惧敬畏和尊重

- 交易所低开后的多空争论
相信自己的判断
推特上任何的人意见
都没法决定最终自己能赚多少钱
不相信任何他人 求神拜佛也没用
最终只能靠自己
也只有靠自己

@coladacodes @phygitals Hey please check dm

[RAKI @RakiCrypto_]

@samthekorean Hello, Can i get a reply?

[Ronin @DeRonin_]

I wrote how to grow from 0 to 100k users

but nobody talks about WHICH tools to use at each stage

here's every tool you need, stage by stage:

STAGE 1-2 (building MVP, finding first 10-100 users):

1: Cursor (AI code editor. ship your MVP in days, not months)
2: https://t.co/602NiTfr8a (describe UI in words, get React + Tailwind code)
3: Supabase (database + auth + storage + realtime in one. free tier is insane)
4: Stripe / Lemon Squeezy (payments in 15 minutes)
5: Clerk (Google login, magic links, user management)
6: Vercel (deploy your app in one click. free until you have real traffic)
7: HumanPost (AI that writes tweets from your lore and scores reply potential)
8: https://t.co/gGrv3dpGMh (free booking link for every sales call)
9: Close AI (my own tool for searching leads + DMs, soon release)

STAGE 3 (fixing retention, 100-500 users):

10: PostHog (session recordings, funnels, feature flags. 1M events free)
11: Sentry (catch bugs before users report them)
12: Resend (transactional email. onboarding sequences, password resets)
13: https://t.co/4GI9G5T29A (schedule onboarding emails day 3, review requests day 7)

STAGE 4 (content + referrals, 500-1k):

14: Screen Studio (record your screen, get polished demo videos instantly)
15: Typefully (schedule and analyze X content performance)
16: https://t.co/5mHeta245L (short links with analytics. track every share and referral click)

STAGE 5-7 (scaling, 1k-100k):

17: Neon (Postgres that auto-scales and costs $0 when idle)
18: Unkey (API key management and rate limiting without building it yourself)
19: Meet Alfred (multi-channel outreach at scale (X + LinkedIn + email))
20: PostHog (again) (A/B tests and feature flags become critical here)

---------

CONCLUSION

all these tools are used to ship your product from MVP to read-to-market version

not the less important also the tools and approaches for distribution phase

(I'd even say distribution phase stays the most important, since app could build 98% ppl, but attract customers only 2%)

if you love this kind of content (lol, i see you love)

then give me a sign (your Like + Comment would be enough ❤️)

and I will prepare a detailed ARTICLE on how to launch correctly your distribution stage

how to optimize your costs and attract users obviously for $0 (+ further scale strategies)

good luck in building.

How to grow your app from 0 to 100k users (PLAYBOOK):

by the end, you'll know how to:

- get your first 10 paying customers without a funnel
- build organic growth that compounds monthly
- know exactly when to spend money and when not to
- turn your users into your best acquisition channel

here's the full 7-stage roadmap:

Stage 1 (0-10): find your niche and sell one person at a time

the biggest mistake is building for "everyone"

you don't need a market. you need 10 people who feel the pain so badly they'd pay you today

how to find them:

> pick one specific audience (who can potentially buy the solution)
> go where they already complain: X, Reddit, Slack communities, Discord servers
> read their exact words. the language they use to describe the pain = your marketing copy
> DM 50 people. not pitching. just asking "what's the most frustrating part of [problem]?"

your first 10 customers should feel like you read their mind

with my own product, I went to a conference and just talked about the problem I was solving

5 people wanted to buy before I had anything to sell, 50 are ready to test (at 2x price from basic costs)

metric to watch: conversion from conversation to "shut up and take my money"
mistake to avoid: building features before talking to humans

--------

Stage 2 (10-100): do things that don't scale

forget funnels. forget ads. forget automation

this stage is manual and it's supposed to be

how to get to 100:

> send 20-30 personalized DMs daily on X, Reddit, LinkedIn (not cold outreach!)
> post daily in communities where your audience already lives
> jump in free onboarding calls, watch how people use your product
> when someone leaves, always ask why (it happens often lol)

what this gives you:

1: real feedback that shapes your product into something people actually need
2: language and objections you'll use in marketing for the next 2 years
3: early advocates who tell their friends

the first 100 users will teach you more than any analytics dashboard ever will

don't scale until you've fixed everything these 100 people found broken

metric to watch: how many users come back after week 1
mistake to avoid: automating too early and losing the human feedback loop

--------

Stage 3 (100-500): fix retention before chasing growth

this is where most apps die silently

they keep acquiring users while losing them out the back door

before you spend a single minute on growth, answer these:

1: what % of users are still active after 7 days? 30 days?
2: where exactly do people drop off in onboarding?
3: what does your "WOW moment" look like and how fast do users reach it?

how to fix retention:

> cut time to value. 10 steps to feel the product? make it 3
> one email sequence that gets users to their first win in 24hrs
> remove features that confuse more than they help
> talk to churned users. after 10 calls the pattern is obvious

your target: get churn below 5% monthly before moving to stage 4

because growing with 15% churn is like filling a bucket with a hole in it

metric to watch: monthly churn rate and day-1 retention
mistake to avoid: adding features instead of fixing the experience

--------

Stage 4 (500-1k): build your organic engine and referral system

now you've got the right to scale

two engines to build simultaneously:

content engine:

- pick 2 platforms max (X + LinkedIn, or YouTube + TikTok depending on your audience)
- post 5x/week minimum. document your building process, share insights, show results
- every post should teach one thing or prove one result
- repurpose: one idea = 1 long post + 3 short posts + 1 thread across platforms

referral engine:

- trigger "invite a friend" right when users feel the most value
- reward both sides: extended trial, premium feature, or credit
- make sharing one click with a pre-written message
- track top referrers and treat them like VIPs

this is where growth starts compounding. content brings strangers. referrals bring warm leads. both are free

metric to watch: viral coefficient (how many new users each existing user brings)

mistake to avoid: spreading across 5 platforms and doing all of them poorly

--------

Stage 5 (1k-10k): partnerships, affiliates, and first paid experiments

organic alone hits a ceiling. now you layer

partnerships:

> find products with the same audience but no competition
> propose co-marketing: joint webinars, shared newsletters, bundles
> one right partnership can bring 500+ users overnight

affiliates and BDs:

> launch an affiliate program with 20-30% recurring commission
> recruit creators who already talk to your audience
> find 2-3 BDs to sell your product on commission base

first paid channels:

> only test ads when you know your CAC and LTV cold
> start with retargeting (cheapest and highest intent)
> test one cold channel: Meta for B2C, LinkedIn/Google for B2B
> $500-1k/mo to test. scale only what's profitable in 30 days

metric to watch: CAC to LTV ratio (aim for 1:3 minimum)
mistake to avoid: spending on ads before your funnel converts organically

--------

Stage 6 (10k-50k): scale what works, kill what doesn't

at this stage you already know your channels. now it's about efficiency

what to do:

1: double down on your top 2 channels. kill the rest
2: make your first growth hire
3: automate onboarding, emails, and referral tracking
4: build a community around the product: Discord, Slack, or Circle

the community is your moat:

> users help each other (reduces support costs)
> feature requests come directly from power users
> community members have 2-3x higher retention than non-members
> it creates switching costs that competitors can't copy

metric to watch: revenue per employee and growth rate month over month
mistake to avoid: hiring too fast and burning cash before the model is proven

--------

Stage 7 (50k-100k): brand, moat, and paid scale

you're no longer just an app. you're a brand

how to think about this stage:

> brand is why someone picks you over 10 alternatives without comparing features
> invest in design, storytelling, positioning, make the product feel inevitable
> go bigger: conferences, podcasts, media, Product Hunt at scale

paid acquisition at scale:

- increase ad budget on proven channels
- test new channels (influencer marketing, sponsorships, programmatic)
- build lookalike audiences from your best customers
- keep CAC under control as you scale, it will try to climb

protect the moat:

1: deepen community engagement
2: build integrations and partnerships that make leaving painful
3: create content flywheel that compounds (SEO, YouTube library, newsletter archive)

metric to watch: brand search volume and organic vs paid ratio
mistake to avoid: letting paid acquisition become your only growth channel

--------

CONCLUSION

most apps die between 100 and 1,000 users because founders skip retention and jump straight to ads

the truth is: the first 3 stages are ugly, manual, and slow

but they build the foundation that makes stages 4-7 feel like gravity

start narrow. fix retention. then scale

Growth is a system, make it effective ♥️

P.S. since this day, I will start showing what I build in public to show you how I grow revenue in my apps

make the products and do an immediate ship for less than 1 week

and how you can repeat this system.
