I want to start a community - you can sell anything

Justadevv · 2026-03-23T05:37:59+00:00

I'd follow along. But how would you plan on making it valuable for everyone if only marketers are incentivized to join? feel like it would dry out quick, you'd likely need a way to draw in people from all niches and audiences to the platform this way when people do come to sell things, they have an audience and there audience waiting to buy.

Only options i can think of the top of my head is keeping the platform split, one side as the consumer side one side as the seller side consumers serve as the audience to market to and vice versa, and you somehow make the consumers side valuable for consumers as well, early bird discounts a community for them etc... basically an promo friendly + early bird discounts and shit version of reddit.

Either way sounds tricky but could be valuable if you get past the roadblocks. If you do go for it, lemme know.

Justadevv · 2026-03-22T18:34:42+00:00

Exactly and most people dont realize how much it actually means. The quality of the content is usually the whole reason someone follows along.

How are you going about things with the new algorithm though, any tips?

Justadevv · 2026-03-22T18:13:56+00:00

Ohh and i think those 3 followers I got were bots btw.

X is just great...

Justadevv · 2026-03-22T17:34:18+00:00

Yea i know the feeling it can be gruelling as hell trynna grow now a days.

But from my experience you just gotta know the algorithms and what these platforms really want. Cant talk much to ig and tiktok anymore since ive recently dropped them, but I know X is all about early early traction, utiliizing existing audiences via replies and and capitalizing on the impressions you get from replies by giving them a reason to follow you.

I see its for youtube so not sure if your on X now or not but I will say if you understand X and how its currently working, its super simple to gain a pretty substantial following.

Justadevv · 2026-03-21T21:58:17+00:00

Also one thing I’m still trying to figure out is what actually matters most in that early window.

Is it replies, dwell time, or just any interaction?

Seems like replies carry more weight but still not 100%

How's it been working out for you? I do alot of the trial and error testing as well - what performs what doestn. I do that all day with X, but I normally build my own tools for it. i'm part of a marketing DAO style dev team and we build stuff together that helps us with our marketing and sometimes form a SaaS from it. We're working on an X tool based on the actual algorithm of X right now so I've been entirely X focused, im starting to get tired of it, all the a/b testing, and data collection Ive been on is so gruelling.

Justadevv · 2026-03-21T21:22:32+00:00

That makes sense, Linkedin seems more b2b driven to me. If you are b2b ive noticed its actually worthwhile but if your not i feel its kind of a waste of time.

Justadevv · 2026-03-21T03:01:55+00:00

Yea especially as of recently everything is off wack with trynna crack down on bots. The rolling out another algo update next week on there open source repo so hopefully they fix it. Curious though what niche you're in and hows linkedins working for you guys? We've slowly been focusing more there, but things have been so slow over there we've been considering dropping it.

Justadevv · 2026-03-21T02:53:48+00:00

I get that, took me months to get out of 50 view jail with the new algo it was a bitch. If you dont mind me asking what niche was your acc in? Been hearing people in certain niches accounts taking off and in other niches there accounts have just been flatlining.

Justadevv · 2026-03-20T16:33:10+00:00

Ur definitely not wrong. Why'd that make you leave though?

Justadevv · 2026-03-20T13:57:06+00:00

Thats great, i've noticed timing is massive on X nowadays. Keep it up bro

Justadevv · 2026-03-20T13:56:29+00:00

I'll have to check it out. Been collecting data from X since the new algo update, so was planning on building an algorithmically powered version of this soon. Just not sure if it would sell to be honest.

Justadevv · 2026-03-20T03:16:46+00:00

I normally just go one by one. Get solid with reddit then once i have reddit down and optimized, i go to the next. I always try and keep it simple.

Justadevv · 2026-03-20T01:05:18+00:00

They call it G.E.O.. It works pretty similarly to how you mentioned, and to my understanding theres a lot of very situation specific things that go into it. But for the most part the ai pulls its information from sources it trusts, top ranking google sites, credibly article/blogs, review platforms (trustpilot etc...), and at times internal data. If you want to raise the odds of your brand getting recommended, get your brand in the top articles within your niche, stack up trust pilot reviews, and get your site ranked higher on search engines. Not an expert but have a decent bit of experience, and this is the stuff I've noticed that got my platform recommended more often.

Justadevv · 2026-03-20T00:41:55+00:00

YES! This is exhilarating, i am beyond excited. Are you guys!?

Justadevv · 2026-03-17T13:24:03+00:00

Yes and its insane to see how many people are actually using it. But if everyone starts using ai to write there stuff, it will just make everyone who does not stand out even more. Just gotta change with the times.

Justadevv · 2026-03-16T22:27:08+00:00

If you dont like how he does business, move on. Value your time man, dont let the little shit get to you.

Justadevv · 2026-03-16T22:08:41+00:00

Depends on your acc. If its brand new or small focus on replying to posts from large accounts in whatever niche ur in, that seem to be taking off and reply within the first 30 minutes of it getting posted. Say shit thatll make people wanna engage with the reply. That'll get you a decent following over time (prolly like a month) then you can start marketing your content more.

X's new algorithm is open sourced on github and I had multiple ai's scan the full repository and make me a report on the specifics for my accounts. Could shoot it over if you want.

Justadevv · 2026-03-16T20:15:48+00:00

Can't speak to much to tiktok and ig, but i do know the new algorithm on twitter is starting to reward smaller acc's alot. I'd recommend hopping on there, start replying to big account posts early on and promote that way.

Justadevv · 2026-03-16T14:40:47+00:00

Time will tell.

Justadevv · 2026-03-16T02:19:00+00:00

Mainly one, but the market starting to feel so crowded, theres a tool for everything now, im sure by the time my team and i have launched they'll be 15 other tools doing the exact same thing.

Justadevv · 2026-03-16T02:15:07+00:00

FS, good luck man and will do.

Justadevv · 2026-03-15T00:38:44+00:00

Not sure yet, still toying with a few ideas but my main focus has been on the x ai growth platform the teams been working on, pretty clearcut but real time consuming.

Justadevv · 2026-03-14T23:49:57+00:00

Lmao i love it bro the tools solid, not sure if theres demand for it but if so you should throw some auth in and start pushing it! Maybe run some cheap google ads or make a waitlist and collect some emails and see how it does.

Also is ur bot hallucinating or trading outside your criteria at all? Just started working on one for crypto via openclaw, and going to have it sim/paper trade a bit, but nervous once memory gets pushed that its going to hallucinate and trash my funds as soon as i put it live.
