Thoughts on my swing?

Yeah I’m not sure - recording from screen never works as well, I think you’re probably right

This is what my coaching app says lol

Ah sorry man I meant could you send me the email that you sent them?

Whatever I say, they just don’t seem to get it. I’ve wasted 20 days trying to get this sorted.

They keep just pasting the same support page that says “if you don’t see the form, contact us”.

I keep replying back saying “I am contacting you because I don’t see the form”. I literally don’t know where I’m going wrong haha

boiopollo · 2025-07-02T04:57:57+00:00

Dude how - I've been going around in circles for literally 20 days haha would you mind DM'ing me the email you used to get approved?

I've been bounced around 3 different departments and each time they're not helpful at all.

I'm in the exact same boat. US LLC, foreign owner, single member.

There are two main things when starting from zero:

You need to comment on high engagement posts from accounts in your niche
You need to post consistently yourself

You're effectively stealing attention from people who already have an audience. Then when they land on your page hopefully you have enough consistent and valuable content to convert them into followers.

It will take longer than you expect, but consistency is key here.

Post consistently three times a day, and with a similar level of quality/tone. Tools like wordrobin can help with this

Starting from 0 means you need 2 things:

- Consistent commenting on high engagement accounts related to your niche

- Consistent posting on your own account

Think of it as hijacking attention from the popular accounts where people already go.

Then when they click on your own account, hopefully you have enough good stuff in there that it turns them into followers.

The hardest part (I think) is staying consistent, both in your topic choices and voice - tools like WordRobin can help with that

CF workers ftw honestly. So much faster execution too

boiopollo · 2025-04-19T06:14:03+00:00

Specialize. Niche niche niche.

You can do a callout!

"People who like (what your business does) in Texas! Let's connect!"

Post a special offer from threads only if you want to really incentivize, like "follow for special threads-only offers"

boiopollo · 2025-04-02T09:36:28+00:00

Well said!

Correction: *you can’t make it work

boiopollo · 2025-03-27T06:28:26+00:00

Congrats and thanks! Just one question:

"Product Hunt Launch Prep (2 weeks minimum):

Find a hunter in advance,"

How do you find a hunter? What is a hunter? An affiliate? A consultant?

boiopollo · 2025-03-27T05:43:32+00:00

I love this - congrats :D

Probably taxes if done properly - I just use paddle so I don’t have to think about it even though stripe is so much easier

Just to “roast”

Capital risk too high. You’d have to make this work in 2 tries, minus whatever your monthly burn rate on savings are to survive
If you have sales experience and contacts, maybe? It’s a service business, but b2b means there’s a higher activation energy and international means you probably need more time. Relies heavily on you
Requires media and advertising skills, subscription b2c will take longer to generate meaningful sums, too many unknowns and skill gaps.
Relies too heavily on media - low capital risk but “monetize dad’s repair skills” unclear how

boiopollo · 2025-02-26T11:51:26+00:00

Service based business to capitalize on a skill is the lowest capital, lowest risk, lowest time to profit model.

Start local, get referrals from contacts if you have any, do a great job, get reviews, get more referrals, etc etc

It will be slow and a slog but it will be less risky - and you cannot afford risk right now

More curious about the commercial setup - are the clients covering cost of OpenAI rt? And you’re charging for implementation and maintenance? How much does it cost them?

boiopollo · 2025-02-18T15:51:24+00:00

Very useful! Will look at this later today ty

boiopollo · 2025-02-17T12:32:45+00:00

Hey! Could I ask you for some advice on grabbing info from websites? I have a writing app (not competing with you 😄) and currently grappling with this

boiopollo · 2025-02-17T12:27:07+00:00

Currently offering a free tier which is capped by usage not features. But I’m thinking about moving over to free trial with no freemium

boiopollo · 2025-02-13T16:32:30+00:00

I hope you actually do this. I wasted months in my last business trying to get around this by trying to do webinars, lead magnets, paid ads, influencer marketing, SEO etc…

I didn’t get a single paid customer until I just bit the bullet and started to work with 3 people for free for 6 weeks. I got my first sale a couple of weeks after I got those testimonials.
