Update: on BOTH my Mac & iPhone, any USDT BEP20 address I copy changes to 0xD62Eb957610d49f77cFce8bCc9827b5428D790E6 after 2-3 pastes.

Clipboard malware. Any security folks know this clipper? Please help 🙏

[Akash Singh @directtoakash]

@erden_xi yes

[Akash Singh @directtoakash]

@Pushpit07 I also think so, to ask people who came through ChatGPT

[Akash Singh @directtoakash]

Where my new users came from today:

ChatGPT: 315
Direct: 38
Telegram: 19
Google: 3

83% from ChatGPT. Only 3 from Google.

I never asked ChatGPT to recommend my app. It just started doing it.

Is AI search the new SEO? 👇

[Akash Singh @directtoakash]

@Distriova True...

[Akash Singh @directtoakash]

Stop thinking SEO = Google. My site barely shows up on Google yet. On Bing, last 7 days: 32 clicks 2,200 impressions Free traffic I'd have missed if I only checked Google. Submit your site to Bing Webmaster Tools. Takes 10 minutes. Where else are you listed? 👇

[Akash Singh @directtoakash]

@helloshiva0801 Great tip, and already there 🙌 The bot sends me a daily report every morning with the stats, plus an auto backup. Per-event pings are next to tune, you're right they won't scale past a few hundred users 😅

[Akash Singh @directtoakash]

I built my own admin panel. 🛠️

13 tabs. One place to run everything:

Users, usage, plans, payments
Where users come from
Referrals and creators
API keys
Broadcast to every user

Every change pings me on Telegram.

Solo founders: build or buy your dashboard? 👇

Bonus: Bing Webmaster has IndexNow, so new pages get picked up fast. And ChatGPT's web search has used Bing's index. Might be part of why ChatGPT sent me 83% of my signups in one day 👀

[Akash Singh @directtoakash]

@erden_xi it can

[Akash Singh @directtoakash]

@CleanFix_Dev Exactly why I built it 🙌 My referral and creator rewards are custom: 2,000 credits per invite, and 1M credits for a YouTube video about the site that hits 2,000 views and 50 likes. No off-the-shelf dashboard tracks that, so I built the tabs myself.

[Akash Singh @directtoakash]

@Misha4Ai Fair, 13 is a lot of surface 😅 In practice I live in Overview daily. The rest are tools I open when I need them: payments, keys, broadcast. Agreed that the pings are the real unlock. Buy the infra, build what you look at.

[Akash Singh @directtoakash]

Already there 🙂 There's a "Send a test to me" button that sends it to my own Telegram first. You pick the audience and see the exact count, and the button reads "Send to X people" with a confirmation step. Banned users and people who blocked the bot are skipped automatically. Fair point on making it look different though. Noted.

@shakhawathro Agreed. Auth and payment are bought, the admin panel is custom. Now tuning which Telegram pings are signal vs noise 😅

[Akash Singh @directtoakash]

@QuitVape4U Overview was the first, and it's still the one I open most. It packs a lot onto one screen: total users, new signups, active users, revenue, active plans, audio made today, and API keys. Sources came later, and it's quickly becoming my second favourite 👀

[Akash Singh @directtoakash]

@mrtbrgl Yes

[Akash Singh @directtoakash]

@helixcanvas Yup 😌
