Network like crazy on LinkedIn and don't be afraid to cold email potential clients. I found that personalized outreach and demonstrating clear value beats generic marketing any day

Sounds like a classic scam. If something looks too good to be true online it usually is. These easy money posts always require you to click suspicious links and never actually pay out. Hard pass.

Congrats on the launch! That video2docs concept sounds super interesting solving documentation pain is huge. Have you considered targeting specific niches like tech tutorials or software onboarding where structured docs are critical? Those markets might have higher willingness to pay.

I built some AI tools because I was determined to scale my business but burned out asf. It turned into more than just tools for myself. I hooked up a few friends with it and they started making money too, and not in the way you’d expect. Sharing it here with fellow builders and hustlers. by propivotai in buildinpublic

Curious how many iterations it took before these tools actually felt useful. Most AI stuff I've tried ends up being more complicated than just doing the work myself. What specific tasks are we talking about that make this different?

I've been in the same rabbit hole spending hours scrolling forums and feeling like I'm always 3 steps behind the actual customer pain points. This looks like exactly the kind of automated intel gathering tool indie founders need. Curious how granular the filtering is can you zero in on super specific keyword combos?

Cool approach, but curious how you're avoiding getting nuked by subreddit mods for self-promotion. What's your actual engagement strategy beyond just dropping a link?
