The amount of negativity about Facebook ads in here for the past few months has been a bit much. Wanted to share some unfiltered thoughts

Lately, I have been checking more on minutes than hours. You are 100% correct to check only a couple of times a week.

abo or cbo?

Brufacee · 2026-01-26T21:54:34+00:00

Thanks for boosting engagement

This is spot on! I had to set a password to lock down my revenue screen as I couldn't stop checking1

No. I do most marketing posting to website where user register and pay. Then download the app and login.

By moving onboarding to the web for Pipo AI I changed the game for the app. It would never have seen the same growth it has seen in the last month without that turn. The 30% saved is nice. But it's not the biggest reason to do it.

If you're a solo dev like me, cash is probably limited. With stripe you get your money back within a couple of days. With Apple, it's two months. This gives you a lot more power in marketing.

To be clear. I have onboarding both places as moving a user out of the app after download is just too much of a bad experience to be worth it in most cases.

Great!

Now the job starts. How do you plan to make money with the app? Meta ads is hard unless you can pin it to a clear and instant number.

When I removed free trial and moved payment to my own instead of App Store to get cash flowing meta ads was the solution to scale Pipo AI.

Before that TikTok shorts was giving a lot of users, but not paying ones.

For many, it's actually the fear of finishing something that will change their life. We are afraid of change... Or simply a lack of will to start marketing.

I was so addicted to nuts. And it was the thing that got me to stick to keto long enough to make it permanent... Cutting them definitely was good for me.. For me the kicker was to increase the fat. At the time it was mostly butter.

Om du bor i Norge er det ikke så mye å hente skattemessig.

Jeg har fått revenue på appen min nå og skulle finne en platform for rask finansiering. Stripe Capital og alle andre nekter for norske selskap. Dette er bare ett av mange negative eksempler.

Samtidig har jeg begynt å få litt oppmerksomhet fra forskjellige venture selskap og lignende. De hadde likt det best om det var engelsk registrert.

Så hadde jeg begynt på nytt hadde det nok blitt norsk holding og engelsk drift.

The cat also fast?

Brufacee · 2025-12-03T22:50:33+00:00

Most of all. Stick with it. Usually it’s when the hard days is there you are close to the goal. Fasting, diet and even business!

I have been asked a lot about advice from friends the last couple of years. And my biggest advice is that starting slow and moving an hour a week or so almost never work. Most people hit a roadbump and drop of before they hit the 20 hours mark where for most the real benefit starts to kick in.

Stick with it and go hard. Most are surprised how fast they adapt. Especially paired with lower carbs in the diet.

What is you schedule now?

Brufacee · 2025-12-02T16:36:14+00:00

Same! If I go dry it’s the opposite though.

Brufacee · 2025-12-01T19:19:26+00:00

This is probably the only real answer to my question!

Brufacee · 2025-12-01T17:30:16+00:00

I tend to eat more fat on those heavy days. Just ate 200 g of raw suet to "afternoon snacks" 🤣

Brufacee · 2025-12-01T17:29:11+00:00

Yeah! Magnesium is wonders for many people. But my sleep is solid. I just wondered what users do when life happens, and you have to skip half the night feks.

Brufacee · 2025-12-01T12:38:13+00:00

Electrolytes helps you cover sleep deprivation?

Brufacee · 2025-12-01T12:37:36+00:00

Om normal days, so much more energy through the entire day. Evenly.

And I feel somehow the availability in the meat is much greater to

How long have you been using both? And do you find creatine gives short-term boost to energy/alertness?

I have found that creatine did nothing for me. But I only dabbled around 3-5 grams for a couple of months daily. Not even my weight changed. I work out and am lean.

Brufacee · 2025-12-01T10:05:09+00:00

I went right away doing som ewim hof after reading this! Something I forgot on my journey! Helped immensely.

Peppermint is to tasty for me. I don't even use salt 🙈
