LinWen

Interested in AI growth & digital marketing.
Sharing my journey as the cofounder of @creativault_ai.

[LinWen @creativault_ai]

I'm building an AI SaaS for influencer marketing.🙌
I'm going to share the journey as we build it.

I'll be sharing:
→ What we're building
→ What users love (and hate)
→ Product decisions, bugs, and things we get wrong
→ What I'm learning about AI and marketing
→ The growth experiments we're running

We're starting from 0, and there's still a lot we don't know.
I'll share the good, the bad, and everything in between.

If you're interested in AI, marketing, or the creator economy, follow along.
Let's see where this goes.🙋‍���️

@samongaro_ Thank you! That really means a lot. 😁Let’s keep building and sharing the wins and fails along the way!

You spot a few suspicious followers — but does that mean the creator is a bad bet? ⬇️ https://t.co/YvgostDsvF

We chose narrow. Not late.

When you're building a product, there's always pressure to add more.

More features.
More use cases.
More customer types.
It feels safer.
But sometimes the cost of “building the full thing” is simply getting to the useful version six months too late.

I'd rather solve one painful problem really well, learn from real users, and expand from there.

Small isn't the compromise.

It's often how you get to something useful sooner.

[LinWen @creativault_ai]

Quick experiment: run the same brand through 3 AI visibility tools.
We did.

And we got 3 different numbers.
At first, that sounds like a problem with the tools.
But I think there's a more important question:Are we actually measuring the same thing?

Different tools can use different:
• prompts
• models•
queries
• scoring methods
So if Tool A says your AI visibility went up 20%, don't celebrate just yet.

First ask: Did the visibility change, or did the ruler change?
If you're going to track AI visibility over time, I'd care more about using the same methodology consistently than chasing the biggest score.

@FlorinPop17 Congrats! You just unlocked the “not working is actually productive” achievement.

[LinWen @creativault_ai]

@heyblake A/B testing: because “I have no idea” doesn’t look great in a weekly report.

[LinWen @creativault_ai]

@SelfTSuccess This is so true. Being good at something is only half the game. People still need to know you’re good at it.

[LinWen @creativault_ai]

@retweets_9ja Three seconds is generous. Some people decide they don’t care from the first five words.

[LinWen @creativault_ai]

@JesseTinsley Feels like we’re going to look back in 5 years and wonder why more people didn’t just try.

[LinWen @creativault_ai]

@buildwtim Nobody warns you that being a solo founder means being the CEO, product manager, marketer, and the person who overthinks everything at 2am.

[LinWen @creativault_ai]

@danmartell Damn, I really need to stop scrolling and start selling.

[LinWen @creativault_ai]

@quxiaoyin The craziest part is watching people say “I hate Anthropic” and then open Claude 30 seconds later.

[LinWen @creativault_ai]

@VadimStrizheus Genuine question: doesn't removing the free tier completely kill your top-of-funnel acquisition? How do you get people in the door without a free trial/plan?

[LinWen @creativault_ai]

Most brands treat all fake followers the same — but bots, ghosts, and inactive accounts can have very different costs for your campaign.

Zero to $400k ARR with just one channel. A masterclass in scaling via pure creator marketing—no paid ads, just pure execution and systemized outreach.

[George Lampropoulos @GeorgeLampro20]

Wrestle Ai has hit over 100k downloads and 400k ARR,

We pulled this off with:
- Almost no paid ads or UGC
- 68% profit margin
- in its first 9 months.

This came from the power of Influencer Marketing. So i decided to write everything we did in an article https://t.co/GBzaJla0Te

[LinWen @creativault_ai]

@illyism Ah yes, 'protecting' small businesses right out of existence.

[LinWen @creativault_ai]

@boardyai Garbage in, automated garbage out.

[LinWen @creativault_ai]

@dr_cintas So we’re getting invisible watermarks now.
Cool. Definitely not creepy at all.

[LinWen @creativault_ai]

@haider1 AI is moving way too fast.
I’m already sacrificing sleep and meals just to keep up lol.😂

[LinWen @creativault_ai]

@kevinnbass And that’s terrifying.
AI can build faster than most people can figure out what’s actually worth building.
