Built a tool to capture my daily digital snapshot:
Hooked up browser history, YouTube watch history, X feed, with @NotebookLM and @NanoBanana . All with the help of my claw @openclaw and codex on @discord
Most interesting thing is #nanobana seems to understand url context and actually generate screenshot very similar from the site I visited. Only sources url and or title in prompt. Surprisingly fun!
Also We need an official NotebookLM cli @joshwoodward !
Some snapshot of my past two days
@KintuLabs Love your website especially the last sentence: The less I own, the happier I become. I am also an engineer building something. Hope to connect and chat.
I've tried literally every business model over the past 3 years.
dropshipping. SMMA. freelancing. affiliate marketing. trading. amazon FBA. print on demand.
some made money. most didn't.
but nothing comes close to selling digital products with faceless X accounts.
let me break down every model I tested and why I landed here.
**dropshipping (2021):**
the dream: laptop lifestyle, automated income, passive wealth.
the reality: I lost $2,400 in 3 months.
what actually happened:
- spent $800 on ads before my first sale
- product took 3 weeks to arrive from china
- customer was pissed, wanted refund
- supplier ghosted me twice
- profit margins were 15-20% IF everything went perfect
- nothing ever went perfect
I'd wake up to angry emails. refund requests. shipping disasters.
"passive income" my ass. I was a customer service rep for a business that was bleeding money.
killed it after month 3.
**SMMA (2022):**
everyone said this was the play. "just get clients bro."
landed 2 clients. $1,500/month total.
what actually happened:
- cold outreach for 4 hours daily
- hopped on "discovery calls" with tire kickers
- one client expected me to be available 24/7
- the other ghosted after 6 weeks owing me $500
- I was trading time for money with extra steps
- stressed constantly about client results
profit margin was decent but my time margin was garbage.
I was basically an employee with extra anxiety.
quit after 4 months.
**freelancing (2022):**
figured I'd just sell my skills directly.
did some design work. some copywriting.
what actually happened:
- feast or famine cycle every month
- spent more time finding clients than doing work
- competed with people charging $5/hour overseas
- income completely stopped when I stopped working
- no leverage, no scale, no freedom
made around $3K/month at peak.
but I was working 40+ hours. that's a job with worse benefits.
not what I signed up for.
**affiliate marketing (2022):**
promote other people's products. get commission. easy right?
what actually happened:
- 20-30% commission on products I didn't control
- built audiences for other people's brands
- they could change commission rates anytime (they did)
- I had no relationship with customers
- made $127 in 4 months
realized I was building someone else's empire for pennies.
dumb model unless you're massive.
**amazon FBA (didn't even finish):**
researched for 2 weeks.
$3-5K minimum to start. inventory risk. amazon fees eating margins. reviews could tank you overnight. competing with chinese sellers.
nope. closed that tab.
**print on demand (2022):**
designs on shirts and mugs. no inventory.
what actually happened:
- margins were 10-15% per sale
- needed massive volume to make real money
- designs got stolen constantly
- quality control was out of my hands
- made $340 in 2 months
not worth the effort for those margins.
**trading/crypto (on and off):**
let's be honest. this is gambling with extra charts.
made some money. lost some money. net: stress and wasted time.
not a business. it's a casino that makes you feel smart.
**then I found digital products (late 2022):**
everything changed.
here's what hit different immediately:
**profit margins: 93-97%**
I sell a $50 product.
gumroad takes 10% = $5
stripe fees = roughly $2
I keep $43.
compare that to:
- dropshipping: 15-20% margins
- print on demand: 10-15% margins
- SMMA: high margins but time cost is insane
- affiliate: 20-30% of someone else's product
digital products have the highest profit margins of any business model. period.
**zero inventory:**
nothing to store. nothing to ship. nothing to break.
customer buys → instant download → done.
I've made sales while sleeping, showering, on flights, everywhere.
no supplier can ghost me. no shipping delays. no angry customers waiting 3 weeks.
**create once, sell forever:**
I made a PDF in 2023. one afternoon of work.
it's made $41K and counting.
same file. same product. selling every week without me touching it.
dropshipping: sell product, buy product, ship product, handle support, repeat forever
digital products: make product once, sell unlimited times
the leverage is insane.
**no clients:**
this was huge for me.
no calls. no "can we hop on a quick zoom." no scope creep. no chasing invoices.
someone buys my product. they get instant access. relationship complete.
if they love it, they buy more stuff later.
if they don't, I never hear from them.
either way, I'm not on calls at 9pm explaining deliverables.
**now add faceless accounts:**
this is where it gets ridiculous.
I don't just run one account. I run multiple.
some with my face. some completely anonymous.
the faceless accounts:
- no personal brand required
- no selfies or "day in my life" content
- just pure value in a specific niche
- can sell the account later as an asset
- can run 3, 5, 10 accounts simultaneously
one of my faceless accounts does $6K/month selling notion templates.
nobody knows it's me. I've never shown my face. never done a video.
just scheduled tweets and a gumroad link.
**the laziness factor:**
here's my actual weekly schedule for my faceless accounts:
sunday: batch write 20-25 tweets per account (2-3 hours total)
monday: schedule everything for the week (30 mins)
tuesday-saturday: check DMs once per day (15 mins)
total weekly work per account: maybe 4-5 hours
and that's being generous.
some weeks I do less because I batch 2 weeks at once.
**what "passive income" actually looks like:**
I scheduled tweets 2 weeks ago.
haven't touched that account since.
checked yesterday: $1,840 in sales.
the content posted automatically.
people found it, clicked profile, bought the product.
gumroad delivered instantly.
money hit my account.
I was playing video games.
this isn't fantasy. this is literally how it works when you set up the system.
**the faceless account formula:**
step 1: pick a specific niche
not "business." not "productivity."
"notion templates for freelance designers"
"canva templates for real estate agents"
"email scripts for saas founders"
specific. boring. profitable.
step 2: create content that attracts buyers
educational tweets about their problems.
tips they can use immediately.
results and transformations.
no personality needed. just value.
step 3: simple product
one template pack. one guide. one system.
$29-$50 range.
something you can make in a weekend.
step 4: profile that converts
bio: exactly who you help and what outcome
pinned: your best tweet or your offer
link: straight to product
step 5: schedule and disappear
batch content weekly.
schedule with typefully or tweethunter.
check in occasionally for DMs.
that's the entire business.
**why X specifically:**
tried other platforms. none compare.
instagram: algorithm wants you to post reels constantly. exhausting.
tiktok: lottery ticket. viral or invisible. no middle ground.
youtube: 6+ months before any traction. massive time investment.
linkedin: good for B2B but cringe culture.
X: post text, grow audience, sell products. simple.
the buyers are here. people with money who invest in themselves.
and text content is the fastest to create and schedule.
**my faceless account results:**
account 1 (notion niche): $6K/month
account 2 (canva templates): $8K/month
account 3 (email scripts): $4K/month
combined: roughly $18K/month from accounts nobody knows I own.
plus my main account.
total: more than I ever made from any other business model combined.
working fewer hours than my worst month of SMMA.
**the compound effect:**
every tweet is a potential customer touchpoint.
every day the accounts grow a little.
every week more people find the products.
I started one faceless account 8 months ago with 0 followers.
now: 11K followers, $4K/month, runs almost entirely on autopilot.
the early months were slow. then it compounded.
now it's a money printer I check once a week.
**what makes this better than everything else:**
dropshipping: high stress, low margins, dependent on suppliers
SMMA: trading time for money, client headaches
freelancing: no leverage, feast or famine
affiliate: building someone else's business
amazon: high startup cost, inventory risk
trading: gambling disguised as strategy
digital products on X:
- highest margins
- lowest time investment
- true passive income potential
- no clients
- no inventory
- no calls
- unlimited scale
- can run multiple accounts
- location independent
- age independent
I genuinely can't think of a better model for someone starting from zero.
**the actual requirements:**
- laptop or phone
- internet connection
- ability to write (you can learn this)
- 10-15 hours/week to start
- 4-5 hours/week once systems are built
that's it.
no startup capital. no inventory investment. no ad spend required.
I started with $0 and a crappy laptop.
**why most people won't do this:**
they want complex.
simple feels too easy. must be missing something.
they'd rather research for 6 months than start today.
they'd rather buy another course than make their first product.
they'd rather optimize a system that doesn't exist than build one that does.
the business model is simple.
the execution requires consistency.
most people can't be consistent for 90 days.
so they stay broke and keep looking for secrets.
**the uncomfortable truth:**
every week you wait:
- more accounts start in your niche
- your future audience follows someone else
- the window gets smaller
I started when it was easier.
it's harder now than 2 years ago.
it'll be harder next year than now.
the best time to start was 2022.
the second best time is today.
**what I'd do starting from zero:**
week 1: pick specific niche, research what they struggle with
week 2: create simple product (one weekend)
week 3: set up gumroad, optimize profile
week 4: start posting daily, schedule ahead
month 2-3: refine content, grow audience, make first sales
month 4-6: systematize everything, scale
by month 6 you could have a faceless account doing $3-5K/month.
working maybe 5 hours per week.
while everyone else is still "planning to start."
**everything I know is in my course:**
→ how to pick faceless niches that print
→ creating products in a weekend (templates included)
→ content strategy that works without personality
→ the exact scheduling system I use
→ DM scripts for faceless accounts
→ profile optimization for conversions
→ scaling to multiple accounts
→ real examples from my faceless accounts
the complete system I used to build $600K+ before 19.
$50.
less than one hour of what you'd make following this.
---
I've tested every model.
digital products with faceless X accounts is the answer.
highest margins. lowest time. actual passive income.
comment "FACELESS" and I'll DM you the course link.
follow + RT first or I can't send it.
or keep trying dropshipping.
let me know how that works out.
Why Meta acquire Manus—a "Claude wrapper"—for + $2 billion?
The secret is UX > Raw Models.
Manus hit $100M ARR < 8 months using deep, multi-step tasks outperform generic models.
Meta realized, even without the "best" LLM, you can win with ingenious application logic.
Meta just bought Manus for >$1B and it makes sense. ~8 Consumer AI apps hit $100M+ arr that aren’t big labs:
Perplexity: $20B
ElevenLabs: $6.6B
Lovable: $6.6B
Replit: $3B+
Suno: $2.5B
Gamma: $2.1B
Character: $1B+
Manus: $500M
Meta AI has ~no product. This was the cheapest, and most aligned.
I’ll market your app for free to my 140K+ YouTube audience.
Why?
Because most founders aren’t losing to distribution.
Your app is just bad.
If you’re confident it’s not, reply.
@amooh001 So inspired by your story Amoo!
I am an engineer with 10+ years of experience in the industry, currently working in the "vibe coding" space.
Let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything I can help with—I’d be more than happy to chat and connect!
If you’re under 500 followers right now, do this for 14 days straight:
• 50 - 100 high value comments per day
• 5 - 10 DMs per day
• Exactly 3 tweets per day
That’s literally it.
