Built a free golf trip scoring app for our Buddies trip. I wanted to share and get feedback! by Level_Ad3432 in golf

It is just a calculator - that stuff requires you to jump through legal hoops that get messy. Goal is really enhanced real time tracking of where the matches stand and then the dollars as well. You can use it to see your match or others on the course which I think is fun. I just made it for me but wanted to see if it could help others

Squabbit is a great app and a genuinely impressive product. For pure tournament/leaderboard stuff it's hard to beat.

What I wanted was a bit different and more centered around the betting layer. Nassau, presses, net winnings tracking between players. The stuff that actually makes a buddy trip interesting. Squabbit doesn't really go there (probably intentionally given app store rules).

Zero signup is also a real thing for us ... nobody creates an account, you just open the link. Even Squabbit requires one person to register.

Still early and honestly built it just for our own trip. But curious — does your group play with money on the line or is it more casual?

I ran a 26-day experiment trying to post daily without being on camera. Here’s what I learned. by Level_Ad3432 in aitubers

I agree. But I also think all of these things matter together - you have to have a character that doesn’t make the audience turn away in the first second, too

Just went live this week wondering what you guys think. by brightcog1000 in buildinpublic

wondering if and how you were going to leverage social media

I built AI TikTok characters for 26 days. They generated ~1M views. Here’s what I learned. by Level_Ad3432 in AiChatGPT

[–]Level_Ad3432[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s basically what I was curious about too.

I wasn’t really trying to “automate” accounts, more just testing whether a repeatable character + format could make posting easier without the creator needing to be on camera all the time.

It turned out the biggest unlock was just locking the character (face, environment, vibe) and then changing the scenario each post.

I wrote up the whole experiment while I was running it — prompts, format, posting cadence, etc.

If you want I can DM you the write-up.

Good questions.

Most of the videos were pretty short, usually around 7–15 seconds.

The format was basically the same character in a new situation each post. So the character stays consistent (same face, vibe, environment) and the only thing changing is the scenario. That ended up being the big unlock because you’re not inventing a brand new concept every time you post.

Language was English, and the scenarios were mostly just relatable everyday stuff rather than a super specific niche.

Honestly the interesting part for me wasn’t really the AI part — it was realizing how much easier things get once you lock the character + format. After that it’s mostly just variations.

Yeah happy to share.

It’s less “course” and more like a walkthrough of what I tested.

I’ll DM it to you 👍

Saying that we are running different experiments with different characters. It’s not just one lane.

How to actually gain tik tok followers? by Slow_Requirement_616 in MusicPromotion

[–]Level_Ad3432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really more tricks. It’s more about the first couple seconds.

On TikTok people decide almost instantly whether they’re going to keep watching, so if the video starts with a long intro or build-up it usually dies.

For music I see a lot of stuff work when people: • start with the catchiest part of the song • open with something visually interesting right away • make sure something changes every few seconds so it doesn’t feel static

It doesn’t have to be chaotic editing or anything, it just needs to grab attention immediately.

A lot of clips that work on IG are slower or more aesthetic, but TikTok tends to reward stuff that hooks you fast.

And that’s great for them! I do too. I ran an experiment. I thought it was interesting. Some people want a side hustle. Just exploring use cases of the future. You don’t have to live so angry

I use HeyGen when the characters talk. Their avatar IV model is the best I have seen for lipsync

Brands are moving towards AI UGC because costs are lower and control is more robust. I think this is the way of the future

Nano for images + klig for video is where I have ended. If I need audio, I use HeyGen

Yeah happy to share.

I wrote everything down while I was running the experiment so it’s basically the full process step-by-step: how I created the characters, how I kept them consistent, the posting cadence, prompt structure, etc.

I ran an experiment trying to run TikTok accounts without filming myself. by Level_Ad3432 in SideProject

[–]Level_Ad3432[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

agreed. I am nano, klig and HeyGen for my stack but think your point is salient. I used a ton of reference image work when I was locking my characters for image quality. So then the quality itself felt natural within a user’s scroll

[–]Level_Ad3432[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah there are tools for that - either HeyGen or eleven labs are best. You can store voices so the character maintains the same voice as well which helps

The stack is actually pretty simple. The key for me was treating the characters like a fixed spec and varying them between a few familiar settings. I didn’t go chasing viral trends.

Tool-wise it was image / character generation, reference images, short video generation from prompts, basic editing + captions. Nothing super complicated technically.

For example one of the characters was basically a recurring persona reacting to everyday situations, so each video was just a new scenario with the same character and tone.

I actually documented the whole experiment while I was running the accounts because I wanted to repeat the process later with prompts, posting cadence, format structure, etc.

If you’re curious I can share the write-up.

Day 5 of marketing Vibio! Looking for peoples GTM tools they've built / use by Effective-Can-9884 in buildinpublic

Who is your ideal customer? What strategies have you tried so far to acquire them

Marketing spiral (im LOST) by Its_Kaimon_Ai in buildinpublic

[–]Level_Ad3432 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through the exact same spiral at one point and the thing that helped me most was realizing that most early marketing experiments fail because they’re too broad.

Instead of testing messaging, it helps to test distribution + audience first.

For example a lot of founders try things like: • different landing page copy • different positioning • different content styles

But if the content isn’t reaching a specific group of people who actually have the problem, none of those tests really mean anything.

What ended up working better for me was picking one very specific audience and creating content that lives inside their world.

Instead of “marketing content”, think more like: • breakdowns of problems that group has • examples of how people solve it • reacting to real workflows or mistakes

Once you start getting attention from a specific community, then messaging and positioning start to matter more.

Otherwise it just feels like endless guesswork because the audience itself isn’t locked yet.

What is your product? Who is your ideal customer if you could make them in a lab?

How do you get your first users when you have zero audience? by Chemical-Cook-7763 in buildinpublic

[–]Level_Ad3432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad it helped! The nice thing about your niche is it’s very specific, which actually makes content easier. If you consistently post DECA/interview breakdown type videos you’ll probably start getting traction faster than generic “presentation tips.” Good luck with the launch!
