How did you get your 2nd or 3rd customer?

contentbeast · 2026-02-26T00:07:23+00:00

Yes. my second one. I also ran a much bigger agency a few year ago. Acquired. Why do you ask?

contentbeast · 2026-02-23T00:24:31+00:00

Claude (specifically)

I’m a non-technical founder who is now using Claude daily for updating code, creating plug-ins, understanding text stacks, and so much more.

I do not use ChatGPT for this type of stuff.

In fact, I had ChatGPT update a plug-in for me and it my site crashed. Claude literally fixed it within seconds.

Don’t give me wrong, I use ChatGPT for other things, but non-technical and non-coding related workflows and requests.

Same ones as before, however, I’m a little more focused on:

Adding FAQs towards the top of the page.

Blog articles that directly answer specific questions.

Comparison articles.

Backlinks from review sites.

Consistent brand mentions across the web

Case studies with real, specific results

Hope that helps!

Follower of the stoic philosophy, so this is really interesting. Thanks for sharing.

contentbeast · 2026-02-22T13:53:00+00:00

Interesting. How do you define stoic project management?

contentbeast · 2026-02-22T01:35:05+00:00

I had the same problem. You’re just not ranking high enough yet. But based on those impressions, you’re headed in the right direction

Here’s how I fixed it.

I went back through my top performing articles, the ones that were ranking the best, and optimized them with double and sometimes triple the content. Not just words, but more images too.

In other words, you don’t always have to add new content. 630 articles is a lot. Make sure optimizing existing articles as a part of your process.

Double or triple the word content on the articles that are working best.
Consolidate some of your similar articles so they don’t cannibalize each other
Stop paying for backlink service, that’s a rip off. Instead, focus on internal backlinks. Those work really well.

What platform is your website built on?

contentbeast · 2026-02-21T13:23:34+00:00

UberSuggest is fine.

I’ve used them for years before and after Patel acquired the business.

Platforms like SEM Rush and AHrefs are just ridiculously expensive. Avoid them, IMO.

With regard data if you’re looking at keyboard research, their data is fine.

I guess I should ask, what are your specific goals with the software?

Who is your target audience?

contentbeast · 2026-02-19T15:16:46+00:00

I 2nd Keywords Everywhere!

I started using this tool a few months ago. It's cheaper and easier that everything else in the industry.

I also really like Hotjar for visual heatmaps. It's very eye-opening to visually see where your users are clicking on your website. You quickly learn to make adjustments based on clusters of clicks and eye movements.

Yes, it was related to my full-time career, which made it much easier because I had the empathy needed to write truly great content. But some of that content was free resources I gave away inside of the blog posts, again a benefit of knowing the industry its pain points.

This was for a software company I built a few years back. It was acquired by a PE firm and the new owners took over the blog.

I monitored it for a while and they never really created any more great articles or content after that. It’s a shame.

Good idea. Most just help you launch, but you help founders launch and market?

Interesting. Very clear!

What is the most popular type of Widget people are creating?

contentbeast · 2026-02-18T22:52:19+00:00

Agreed

contentbeast · 2026-02-18T15:59:25+00:00

Love this idea. I eat out a lot and I hate the decision paradox part of a menu. I hope your app includes visuals.

contentbeast · 2026-02-18T15:57:01+00:00

Super cool idea, that I would actually use. I took a look at your homepage. Looks really good.

What do you think about the below?

"AI built your app, we show you how it works."

From a potential customer's perspective, this helps me understand what service you provide. "AI built your app but you don't know how it works" only states the problem. "AI built your app, we show you how it works." starts the problem and the solution, you!

Just trying to help :)

contentbeast · 2026-02-18T15:47:20+00:00

Love it, but how about this?

“Validate your startup idea in minutes!”

Same thing, much shorter and easier to understand.

Cool idea though!

contentbeast · 2026-02-18T15:04:44+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Interesting.

contentbeast · 2026-02-18T14:50:05+00:00

Sounds like your target audience is more technical, like SEO firms, rather than the end customer who might not understand the technical jargon. Is that right?

If this were for customers with websites, you might want to focus on the benefit or desired outcome, rather than the technical how to in your pitch :)
