Our startup has grown from $1M to $3M revenue in 7 months — major driver in marketing was SEO.
We absolutely love it, yet, it intimidates so many!
So, in 9 tweets, we'll explain SEO using the analogy of a LIBRARY - guarantee you'll understand it like never before :)

A founder’s role is to do things they swore they would never do...
...because, their startup needs it.
I always disliked social media.
BUT, joined Twitter and LinkedIn in 2021.
I then swore I would never enter Instagram.
BUT, today, I am launching my Instagram channel 😂
I’m calling it “Terminal by Flexiple”, where we’ll cover stories of entrepreneurs and companies that changed the world.
I would love your support by following me on Instagram: https://t.co/c8gX9zxnrr
8 years of building startups taught me one thing:
Never make the same mistake TWICE.
And, I want to save you from the same painful lessons.
That's why I've put together 101 hard-earned insights from my journey to a $3M+ bootstrapped startup 👇
1st-time founders:
- Fantasize about "million-dollar scale" at $0 revenue
- Fail to build a product that solves a problem
2nd-time founders:
- Start with a small, targeted user base
- Iterate based on feedback
What other mistakes do you think 1st-time founders should avoid?
2020: All of us thrown into sudden “remoteness”
2021-22: We adjust & start getting good at remote work
2023-24: We forget all our learnings of remote work
So, here's our report: "Don't Let Remote Work Fail You Now" to help you 👇
The second best part of being a founder: you learn from your own mistakes.
The best part: you can learn from the mistakes of founders who failed before you.
I find most productivity advice on the internet good in theory but sucks in reality.
So, I spoke to 21 top engineers at Google, Amazon, & top startups to learn what really works.
I've compiled their best insights into 1 report to help you:
→ 2x your productivity
→ Hit your daily goals
In 2020, I had ZERO social media presence.
I had 2 likes on my posts ⇒ my 2 co-founders 😂
Now, I’ve ~60k followers on X and ~80k on LinkedIn.
Here’s my 4P framework…
We used to burn a lot of cash on Google ads with ZERO ROI.
Lesson learned: Paid ads ≠ marketing.
So we pivoted to the "Organic Growth Formula": SEO + Social Media
The result ⇒ Revenue skyrocketed from $700K to $3M!
Here's the exact 3-step process we used:
I've got a confession to make: I was DEAD wrong about marketing.
I thought: Outbound sales = You suck at marketing.
After 2 failed startups, I’ve changed my approach.
Here’s why you should too 👇
Struggling to land your first B2B customers?
You're not alone. It's the question that haunts every new entrepreneur.
But I've cracked the code before.
Here's how I got Flexiple's first 10 customers 👇
Like every founder, I loved building new features and hated marketing.
Result: Two FAILED products.
Then, I adopted the C/D marketing framework and grew my startup to millions of dollars.
Let me explain 👇
Even after 7 years, I just love helping companies build their dream teams!

We knew how to code. But didn’t have the time.
So, we used the "NoCode Millionaire Method" to build Flexiple.
Here's the exact $80/mo stack we used to scale it to millions:
BIG day! After 10 months of work, I'm excited to launch Flexiple's new offering:
- Hire dream full-time engineers, not just contractors!
- 4 handpicked profiles each week, guaranteed
- Sourcing to joining support
Would love your support 💙
