Been locked-in for 7 years, relentlessly building & tuning the infra that has processed $150M+ and powers $1M+/year online businesses. Kept the tech internal at @Genflow_ until now. If you sell any sort of info/courses/education/fitness or run funnels/coaching then DM me to get early access to https://t.co/0baR2RbsC3

@itsmarcosruiz Scaling before they have something to scale.

[Shaz @shazmuneeb]

@MementoQuamfy @anthonybuitran @JimmyFarley00 Exactly. Depends on your workflow but for me I need 3-4 things in my field of view at all times for what I’m doing which is full stack development, so 2 browser windows + 2 coding IDEs and then my terminal/slack on a side screen which is for less frequent viewing.

@anthonybuitran @JimmyFarley00 Samsung Odyssey G9 which was also great but this new setup is just another level up.

[Shaz @shazmuneeb]

@anthonybuitran @JimmyFarley00 Yeah I had to use BetterDisplay to tweak a few things as yeah it was too small, but essentially running an 8K monitor in 4K was the solution - works perfectly though, absolutely 0 issues and 10x productivity IMO

yes marketing > product
in terms of getting actual sales

but the second sale? third?

once you’re acquired the customer,
you still have to keep them a customer

and you won’t be doing that without a solid product

that actually competes in the market.
that customers actually tell others about.

i still see founders saying
“I just need a 7/10 product, then I’ll just spam ads”

sure you’ll make some quick money
but not for long

enjoy your churn

build the thing people refuse to cancel is my philosophy with Pablo.

[Shaz @shazmuneeb]

when you hire high level people

you get wildly different perspectives

that’s a feature, not a bug
…as long as everyone wants the best outcome

i do the exact same thing with AI now

i ask the same hard question to 3–4 models
chatgpt, claude, gemini, grok

then share the responses with each other to critique
"tear this apart"

9 times out of 10
the final version is better than anything one model (or one human) would have contributed alone

multiple strong opinions + shared goal = magic

works with people, even faster with AI models

try it.

@Lukealexxander So that they can package it with their offer as a “bonus”

[Shaz @shazmuneeb]

I deeply believe in building internal software. At Genflow we built our own internal analytics software that enabled us to accurately decipher if a creator's content & audience was truly monetizable - this heavily complemented our revenue share model and meant we didn't partner with the wrong creator and waste time/money.

[Shaz @shazmuneeb]

@thisisgrantlee This was brilliant.

[Shaz @shazmuneeb]

@kyrinahlis When your downsell is most people’s business goals.

[Shaz @shazmuneeb]

Customer retention > MRR. Majority of our customers have been with us for 5+ years, predictable revenue has allowed us to invest in infra which is now paying its dividends. Take care of your clients.

[Shaz @shazmuneeb]

@Lukealexxander "the best" is so meaningless, i immediately lose interest

[Shaz @shazmuneeb]

Been thinking... Internal processes, SOPs, etc has always been our way to machine-ify humans to turn us into predictable cogs. Now AI (a machine) does the opposite, you give it intent and it runs the processes, etc behind the curtains. AI humanises work.

[Shaz @shazmuneeb]

You can spend hours at your desk trying to solve something without success… the moment you go do some other mindless activity, it will come to you like an epiphany.

[Shaz @shazmuneeb]

If you or your team don't use your own product then you're missing out, it's by far the best and fastest customer feedback loop. Every issue/improvement found is one less your actual customers face.

@jeremynickmoser If your audience isn’t from the same area as you in the world, you’re going to have a tough time monetising.
