Rethink!

[Fawaz Momoh @thisisfawaz]

@Jason I'm in. I love the idea.

[Fawaz Momoh @thisisfawaz]

@TosinOlugbenga @mrchidipascal Exactly. I don't understand why people aren't getting the point. You can build Netflix with AI (the whole thing). But you can't build it in 48 hours. Not just that, code isn't the only thing. There's a lot that goes into building a Startup (which is the main point of the post).

[Fawaz Momoh @thisisfawaz]

@Ogunleye2002 The initial agreement was build the full Gamms app in 48 hours (as he claimed he could do) and get £1k. He didn't even do half as much as Gamms. So, what's your point?

[Fawaz Momoh @thisisfawaz]

@dr I love writing so much that I don't even want to write for money. When I look back at some content I've written, I just miss it and always tell myself I'll come back to writing when I have the time away from startups I'm trying to build. And a newsletter will be part of it.

[Fawaz Momoh @thisisfawaz]

@knoxtwts Funny enough I'm currently working on something similar. I already started one for audiobooks (on different subjects, mostly for kids). Still contemplating the bedtime stories even though it was the original idea I had.

[Fawaz Momoh @thisisfawaz]

@yehhmisi Loool..🤣. Don't mind me. I know someone like that and it pains me everyday for him.

[Fawaz Momoh @thisisfawaz]

@BrightAfeno Have you tried @GammsApp. The pricing is very reasonable plus you have other tools to earn from other aspects of your brand. Just check https://t.co/8dK5RzCawN.

[Fawaz Momoh @thisisfawaz]

@Aje_Dynamicz Exactly. More unique ideas solving real problems like an app that helps people automatically find and switch to cheaper subscriptions, rent plans, or utilities. Take a small cut of the savings. No direct payments, but it still makes money by improving people’s finances.

[Fawaz Momoh @thisisfawaz]

@BrettFromDJ It's just fraudulent. Why can't you simply say I created this to solve "this" problem. Then, when people land on the page, they see the actual problem your design can solve, rather than lie about making money off it designing it for a brand...oh my🤦

[Fawaz Momoh @thisisfawaz]

@folasanwo Loool. Let them go and tell Google, Facebook and all the other giant companies raking millions with their "mediocre-looking" websites that they should redesign them. Spot on @folasanwo, most designers are just pained that AI is doing their job already.

[Fawaz Momoh @thisisfawaz]

@akinkunmi I think the real question isn’t whether custom code is involved (because it always is).

The key question is: does it run inside WordPress and depend on it? If yes, then it’s built with WordPress.

By that standard, all your projects can be built using WordPress.

[Fawaz Momoh @thisisfawaz]

@bytesage012 @alll_well Lol...it's not AI. The design had been existing before AI became popular. AI Will do better. The gradient isn't even looking "professional".

[Fawaz Momoh @thisisfawaz]

It's over. AI will take your job.

It's not a matter of maybe. It's already happening.

The work that used to require 10 people, now requires one. The sad part is that developers are already feeling it. But even if you are not a developer, don't get comfortable because you're in marketing, sales, or creative work. AI is not coming for specific industries. It is coming for specific levels of skill. And it will get to everyone.

If you're sitting there thinking your job is safe, then you are either not paying attention or you are really exceptional at what you do.

And if it's the second one, then you might already know what I'm about to say.

Like I said, AI is not going for specific industries, it is going for everybody. But there are three positions that will be the safest.

The first are those who are irreplaceable.

When a company replaces ten people with one, the person they can't replace is the one I'm referring to. And that's because their skill level is exceptional that they cannot be dropped.

The second category of people are the builders (founders).

They are not even waiting to be replaced by those who are exceptional, they are building their own thing. The AI tools that are displacing people right now were built by individuals, and they are the people who are now making more money than the jobs those tools replaced. If you understand the problem deeply enough, you can build the solution.

And the third is the adapter.

Not everyone needs to be exceptional or a founder. But if you have technical knowledge and haven't tried vibe coding yet, you are seriously wasting time and skill. Companies are already hiring for such roles and the barrier is lower than you think.

So, AI is not the problem. Being average in the age of AI is the real issue.

Decide which of the three you are going to be. Then start working it out now.

[Tosin Olugbenga @TosinOlugbenga]

“AI will not take the job of those who knows how to use AI”

I laugh in Claude code 😂😂😂😂😂

Whether you know or you don’t know how to use AI, you work or job is under threat daily.

If you like be up to date with everything AI coming out daily, you will still not be spared.

Anyone can be replaced anytime.

[Fawaz Momoh @thisisfawaz]

@gozkybrain4u @TosinOlugbenga Yes, but sometimes, it's not really what the AI wrote. If someone is quite good at understanding conversations, they will notice the awkward pauses, the way the person misses punctuations.

One can notice some differences from how they would naturally speak.

[Fawaz Momoh @thisisfawaz]

@TosinOlugbenga 🤣🤣...no comment needed.

I'm sharing this because I know some people would like to also know what they can do with a free LinkedIn account.

This is actually my 4th free LinkedIn Premium trial and I haven't even activated this recent one yet.

I really value it, but because I have a few free tactics that are already working well enough for me, I need to be certain what I'm going to use it for before I turn it on.

The thing is that most people don't know how to even use the free version of LinkedIn properly. If you master that first, then Premium will just be to amplify your results.

What I do for free:

1. I find founders directly by using the search box. I go through their profiles thoroughly, then I immediately send requests to the ones that align with what I'm looking for. Many of them accept.

Then I reach out with a very engaging message which most of them respond to and that's where I get them hooked. From there, we can talk about other things relating to why I picked them in the first place.

2. Another way is that when I'm looking for clients who need someone immediately (I'm not talking about those that may fit in the future), I search through posts, not profiles.

People who post about a problem they're trying to solve right now are warmer and easier leads than anyone you find through a job listing. Some may post about some responsibilities they are already handling as founders and once I notice a gap (like something they may need help with), that's my signal to reach out.

3. One thing I haven't done is to message through company profiles directly. But I suggested it to a friend recently. He tried it and it worked. He handed me his phone, asking me to see one of the positive responses he got. He even got to the interview stage for a $1,000 offer. So it's worth testing. And I'm definitely going to do it too.

This response is getting long already. So I'll stop here. I still have others I've actively explored and some I'm working on.

So, the real limitation isn't Premium or free. It's how ready you are to:

1. identify those that fit what you do

2. create outreach worth responding to, and

3. stay patient long enough for something to come through.

I'm currently testing another free method I've never tried before. Still early but the results are already interesting and I'm excited about it.

So, just use your Premium to amplify these free methods.

There is a reason certain brands never seem to be going down.

It is not always a better product. It is not always a bigger budget. A lot of the time it is simply who they are shaking hands with.

For example, UBA has a number of partners they work with to keep the brand running. One of these partnerships is with Trips[dot]com, where they offer 20% off to anyone who pays with their UBA premium Mastercard.

Simple. Clean.

Suddenly UBA is not just a bank, it is the reason you saved money on your last trip. Now, that's the kind of value that sticks in a customer's mind and brings them back.

That is what a smart partnership does. It doesn't just add value, it creates a memory attached to your brand.

As a founder, you are so focused on selling that you forget you don't have to reach every customer alone. Another brand has already done the hard work of building trust with an audience you want. A partnership lets you borrow that trust.

You don't need to be a big brand to do this. You need to be a useful one and find a way to align your brand with your potential partner's audience.

Find the brand whose customer is also your customer. Approach them with something that benefits both sides and make it easy for them to say yes.

You may not need a campaign yet to grow to the next level, it might just be a conversation with the right brand to partner with.
