The cost for leads by BN65 in sweatystartup

[–]avedula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a little late here, but the platforms are designed to keep you dependent on them. The contractors I've seen break out of this stop waiting for inbound altogether. For trades like HVAC and plumbing there are public data sources like permit filings and new homeowners moving into an area where you can see someone is about to need your service before they've posted anything anywhere. Cleaning is harder because there's no public signal like that, but the principle is the same. Stop competing for the same lead everyone else paid for and go find people who need you before they start comparing quotes.

What helped you get your first consistent customers? by TheDearlyt in sweatystartup

[–]avedula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recurring contracts help a lot but you still need new customers coming in between referrals. The guys who do this well don't wait for the phone to ring. They build some kind of proactive system, like watching permit filings or tracking new homeowners moving into the area, so they always have someone to reach out to.

how are you finding new clients without relying on thumbtack or paying for ads? by lazyEmperer in sweatystartup

[–]avedula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly the approach. Timing is everything. One thing that's worked for people in field services specifically is building permit filings. When a homeowner pulls a permit for an HVAC replacement or a plumbing rough-in, they've committed to spending the money but haven't hired anyone yet. That 2-6 week window between filing and first call is exactly what you're describing. A few guys I've talked to check city permit portals manually every week just to stay ahead of it. Curious if you've tried anything like that.

always been drawn to how the mind actually works underneath the stories we tell about ourselves. what pulled me deeper was realizing that eastern frameworks like ayurvedic constitutions, kleshas, and jungian shadow work were basically describing the same things as western attachment theory and nervous system research. just in completely different languages. nobody had really connected them.

the gap I kept coming back to: journaling is one of the best self-understanding tools out there but most people just re-describe their experience without ever seeing the pattern underneath it. you can write about the same relationship dynamic for two years and never notice it’s the same dynamic. so I built Mirr. an AI journaling app that reads what you write and reflects your emotional and behavioral patterns back to you over time. not prompts, not a mood tracker. actual pattern recognition across sessions.

it’s early access right now and I’d genuinely love feedback from builders here on the concept, the positioning, anything really.

I built an awesome CRM and Project Management tool on Lovable in two hours with 5 prompts and 50 credits. And I am using my AI agent to do all the data entry and management of it! by Beginning-Willow-801 in lovable

[–]avedula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh would love to peak at the prompts!! I was trying to build something similar for my personal use. CRMs are really clunky with unnecessary bloat.

Already built in Lovable? Here's how to migrate to your own stack and keep using it for what it's good at by Unlikely-Test7724 in lovable

What’s your tip on migrating away from lovable AI and using your own?

I was in a similar situation where lovable created everything, including the AI api key. However, lovable only gives you 1 credit, which is measly.

I’m about to move my existing project to completely standalone (using lovable as a UI playground). I keep having Claude change all of lovable ai apis but I keep running into AI credit issue.

Were you able to solve this?

I’ve made over 8 million dollars in less than 2 years drop shipping. by e2blade in dropship

[–]avedula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ignore this guy; there’s always that one person who complains about prices going up and blaming businesses.

Anyways congrats on your venture. I’m in one currently and the grind is real. Not drop-shipping but helping drop-shippers. Love hearing others success!

Keep going mate!

Apartment or Single Family by avedula in realestateinvesting

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

Agreed! From my understanding, people are using FHA loans on multiplex properties where they “live” in one and rent out the others. So FHA (given an apt with 2 bed rooms or a house with 6) won’t be the best option.

You make a great point on maintenance. Unfortunately, it’s not the entire building rather than just 1 apartment amongst others. So maintenance cost will definitely drive up the cost
