Building Recon - Your best way to test ideas.
Sharing some daily indie hacker’s stuff

[Braxo @ReconAd]

finally built my first “second brain,” or more accurately, a mentor.

i realized i wasn’t growing enough in what i’m currently doing. since i’m selling websites right now, i decided to seriously level up my copywriting and marketing using the best tool available for now: an AI mentor.

i uploaded 5 books and a prompt, and now i’m going to learn by putting everything into practice

the books:

> Eugene Schwartz — Breakthrough Advertising
> Joseph Sugarman — The Adweek Copywriting Handbook
> Robert Cialdini — Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion
> Alex Hormozi — $100M Offers: How to Make Offers So Good People Feel Stupid Saying No
> Daniel Kahneman — Thinking, Fast and Slow

do you have a second brain? if so, what is it teaching you?

@Tech_girl well, astra is actually a pretty good model, it just feels irrational to use it when opus 5.5 is both better and cheaper

[Braxo @ReconAd]

@beffjezos i’ve always said that burning tokens is an addiction.

[Braxo @ReconAd]

@skpnky it’s actually a mindset that you develop through certain actions and habits

there will always be something that seems more promising than what you’re currently doing. the question is whether you give in to that feeling or keep doing what you’re doing

@heysatya_ yo bro my laptop would explode if i used this

but actually looks very cool

[Braxo @ReconAd]

@rezoundous well, reset tomorrow night is not that bad

[Braxo @ReconAd]

@craigweiss i like sweet flavors, so what? am i hired?

[Braxo @ReconAd]

@ChadAppDev maybe he misunderstood a bit what “3 days free” meant

[Braxo @ReconAd]

@jackfriks poor fish, doomed to spend their entire lives swimming in a loop

ai is harmful.

[Braxo @ReconAd]

@rezoundous he’d better make it possible to transfer all your unused Codex resets to Claude, i have a few and not gonna spend them in codex

[Braxo @ReconAd]

@MaxHirsch13 every dollar you spend is an investment in something

even when you buy food, you’re investing in something, so yeah, everyone in the world is an investor.

[Braxo @ReconAd]

@VibeMarketer_ you don’t need to judge average people for being average, but you definitely shouldn’t try to look similar to them.

[Braxo @ReconAd]

i’m changing my sales approach.

instead of boring people with website pitches, i’m going to sell solutions to the biggest problems each business is facing

i’ll identify those problems through research and analysis. this will probably slow me down in terms of volume, but i think it’ll make me much more effective when it comes to conversion rates, sales, and overall results, also letting me test new pitches to improve my sales skills way more efficiently.

[Braxo @ReconAd]

@samongaro_ i’ve switched from codex to claude once, it was after some time opus 5.5 dropped. for now, i’m not gonna go back

[Braxo @ReconAd]

@AniC_dev you should definitely cut the gf from the list, you’ll have more time to reply to investors

[Braxo @ReconAd]

@izadoesdev best way to reduce churn is to delete the option “cancel my plan”

[Braxo @ReconAd]

@rezoundous it feels like you forgot to cancel your chatgpt subscription and now you’re trying to justify it

or maybe you just enjoy jumping from one AI to another, but i don’t get this fetish

[Braxo @ReconAd]

@catalinmpit same goes for social media videos about success, the more money you waste and the harder you flex, the “cooler” you are

[Braxo @ReconAd]

@eliana_jordan i love how the world works, you don’t have to come up with something from scratch to make it work. just take something that’s already successful, adapt it to yourself, and boom

[Braxo @ReconAd]

@rezoundous nobody in the AI community is sure about anything, AI as a whole isn’t really about being sure

[Braxo @ReconAd]

@shakhzod1001 i saw claude go to chatgpt and generate an image for someone on its own, but here you’re literally asking it to do the same thing and it can’t, lol
