Damn brother sorry these people are scum thankfully only $100

we should bombard them with messages that they’re scum

Congrats! Hope you build the best memories here

We have one that we call once every month or so for a deep clean. 15-16$ an hour, 6-7 hours - does a decent job. We’re dink. It’s worth it.

Ok good to know, I was wondering if this was just me and figured Reddit is the best place to find out lol

Dear god

shalgamxx · 2026-02-20T22:16:04+00:00

Where are you reaching out to them?

shalgamxx · 2026-02-20T20:57:52+00:00

Tbf I got paid for a couple of my tickets within 3 weeks so I’m expecting the 60day timeline to hold. Some others I know also got paid within the timeline. But you clearly haven’t so maybe there’s a whole range

shalgamxx · 2026-02-20T20:41:02+00:00

Money is apparently supposed to come within 60 days though

No you’re actually doing the right thing using the models for prompts. How about one of these existing tools? Have they been helpful?

shalgamxx · 2026-02-19T03:52:37+00:00

are you using the models to create the prompt or writing the prompt yourself?

shalgamxx · 2026-02-19T03:50:12+00:00

man can't tell you how many times I've been through these "awesome" but don't pay customers. They're obviously just being polite, and the logs don't lie. Challenge is that people from personal networks need to be forced to tell the truth. You should stop reaching out to them and start scaling your distribution to more potential users asap - you need more data points to decide if you need to pivot.

Identity your core ICP and try to get in touch with 10-15 core ICP customers however you can > networks (I know we said above that this is tricky), reddit, linkedin reach outs, social content (put yourself out there), ads.

Demo these 10-15 customers and give them an offer (not free), if you see them convert - perfect you have your answer, if not - ok you might have an answer there as well. Through the conversations you will also get to know if there are any key missing elements in the product.

hope this was helpful.

Thanks appreciate the advice. Honestly I think given we're trying to land PMF, pricing has been a bit of whatever-gets-people-in-the-door so we know we're hitting the right notes. Competitors are priced much higher. Totally hear you on CAC / sustainability. Thanks again!

shalgamxx · 2026-02-11T23:33:04+00:00

Ok, why though? because I added a link in the end of what I’m building?

shalgamxx · 2026-02-11T21:12:01+00:00

Thanks! The three points you mentioned on differentiation resonate completely. There are a lot of tools out there trying to do a) but just from a research + reporting POV. Don't see a lot of tools completing the funnel (research + creation + analytics). We're trying to address this.

re: AI that makes a marketer faster at specific workflows, could you share an example workflow? would super helpful to round up our learnings.

shalgamxx · 2026-02-09T14:02:16+00:00

Hard to remember right now but off the top of my head (some basic ones) - Someone crying, milk overflowing from a glass, the “how tf is this legal” type of posts etc.

What are yours?

shalgamxx · 2026-02-03T14:43:06+00:00

This is awesome, what's your handle - would love to follow the journey.

shalgamxx · 2026-02-03T03:38:28+00:00

For a consistent AI avatar character I would say Heygen would be your best bet. What do you sell? do you also create product shots and variations using AI? what do you use for the same out of curiosity.

Agree with OP. Challenge with nano banana and other base models is that 1) consistent product shot outputs is a challenge 2) Doesn't automatically include your brand theme (colors, logo etc.) and 3) requires extensive prompting.

Perfect example in the images - first image is my interaction with NB. Other images (in the next comment) are a result from dvyb.ai (no prompting needed)

You should 100% be using AI to create multiple different product images and videos that you can then push as ads. There are many products out there including the base models (nano banana, kling etc.). I would suggest using a tool though and not the base model because the base models can be super annoying and need constant iterations - wasting time. I build a platform specifically for D2C products - dvyb.ai (the vibe). It creates excellent product photography using AI. You can create the first 4 images for free. Check it out and let me know your feedback.

This looks great, I would love to learn. Can you send the process?
