Halfway done. One builder is pulling ahead. One is starting over. One showed up to a gym to ask for money. This is My First Dollar, a 6-week docuseries where 3 builders start from zero, with a $100 budget, and try to make their first dollar online using AI. This week: → Kate hits 6 paying users and is doing customer calls around her 9-5. → Davis's first potential customer backs out. He pivots everything. → Medhansh comes back from being sick, builds his MVP, and walks into a real business to pitch face-to-face. This is the last episode before the finale. Next time you see them, the six weeks are up.

Try Postiz: https://postiz.pro/robert-hallam It took seven years of failed startups and a year and a half grinding to $21K before one article from a 200-follower account pulled 7.2 million views and changed everything. In this episode he breaks down the full playbook: the one markdown file that makes any product agent-ready, why agents prefer a CLI to your API, the exact build order from API to MCP, and the X article system he runs now, from pre-written trend articles to paid creator reposts. He shares his real dashboard on screen, 14.6% churn included, and gives away three agent-ready SaaS ideas he's too busy to build. If you've got a product built for humans or you're still hunting for an idea worth building, this is the episode.

Then a tweet admitting I'd failed went viral, and it forced me to face the one thing I'd been getting wrong: validation is money. In this talk I break down the three ways I validate an idea before betting a year on it, then show how I used one of them to take SuperX from $0 to $22K a month. If you're sat on a product nobody's paying for, or still hunting for an idea worth building, this one's for you.

the channel most founders refuse to touch. In this episode he breaks down the exact playbook that took him from manually selling lead files for his first $10K, to $1M a year in 8 months. The big idea: stop asking for the demo. Send a blueprint instead. Romàn walks through the documents he sends, the leads he targets, the infrastructure he uses, and why his 1% reply rate at scale generates more inbound than most founders pull off social media in a year. If you've got something to sell and no audience, this is the episode.

You can access SuperX (the app I'm building) at https://app.superx.so Current progress: $1,755 MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue) [17%] I don't see anyone else doing this, and so wanted to share the raw journey and grind that it takes to achieve such a thing. Been building since January 2025. I'm currently in Medellín, Colombia.

Life After Leaving the UK: Building a Startup in Brazil at 23 2 weeks ago, I traded the security of the UK for the vibrant chaos of Brazil with one mission: building a profitable SaaS startup from scratch. Follow my journey as I navigate a new culture, build in public, and chase the dream of $10k MRR. From late-night coding sessions to exploring Pipa's digital nomad scene, I'm documenting every success, failure, and lesson learned along the way. 💡 Weekly startup insights: https://robhallam.beehiiv.com/ 🐦 Behind-the-scenes: https://x.com/robj3d3 📸 Daily life in Brazil: https://instagram.com/robhallam_ 💼 Professional updates: https://www.linkedin.com/in/roberthallam/ Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ On My Mind.

I tested it. On June 22 a lab in Tokyo released a 7 billion parameter model that claims to stand shoulder to shoulder with Fable 5, the most powerful AI in the world, and the one the US government switched off everywhere back in June. A fraction of the size, a lower price, and no export controls. Those are big claims, so I tested them. The trick is that Sakana Fugu isn't a frontier model at all. It's an orchestration model. It sits on top of the models you can still reach, Opus 4.8, GPT-5.5, Gemini, hands each part of your task to whichever one it thinks is best, makes them check each other, and feeds you back one answer. One model quietly commanding all the others. Fable 5 is the child prodigy who just knows the answer. Fugu is the group of clever kids working together. They are not the same thing, but Sakana is comparing them directly, so I wanted to see if that holds up. So I did the thing the benchmarks can't do for you. I put Fugu Ultra head to head with Opus 4.8 on two real tasks, in the same harness, and paid for both out of my own pocket. A simple one-line bug fix, and a harder design task I could judge with my own eyes. The results flip depending on the job, and that's the whole video. On the bug fix both models landed the identical fix, except Fugu cost almost six times more to get there, because it hired a team for a job one model does on its own. On the design task it flipped the other way, Fugu came in cheaper and faster, and you could see where the saved money went. There is even a button in its result that tells you to drag to steer the heat, and when you drag, nothing happens. An open-source model I covered last week arguably did the whole thing better for less. Where I land is that there's no clear winner, and I think that's the more interesting answer. But zoom out and the bet underneath this is real. For years the race was about who could train the biggest model.

Six weeks are up. All three made their first dollar. This is My First Dollar, a 6-week docuseries where 3 builders started from zero, with a $100 budget, and tried to make their first dollar online using AI. Here's where they ended up: → Kate burned out, picked herself back up, got 6 paying users, and is about to submit her mood tracking app to the App Store. The fire is lit. → Davis pivoted completely. His first product got zero sales. His second got a paying customer from Hong Kong at $19.99/month. He launched two products in six weeks. → Medhansh went from "I don't have the confidence" to $65 in revenue.

I think it's the wrong call, and I wrote my dissertation on this exact kind of attack, so let me explain why. On June 12, 2026, an export control directive citing national security suspended access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for any foreign national, which forced Anthropic to shut both models down for everyone worldwide. The government's side, laid out by David Sacks, is that it's a fixable jailbreak and the ball is in Anthropic's court. Anthropic's side is that the flaw is narrow and already exists in other models like OpenAI's GPT-5.5. Meanwhile the rest of us are locked out, still waiting on the full details Anthropic promised within 24 hours. Back in 2022 I wrote my computer science bachelor's thesis on extracting AI model parameters through side channel attacks. Basically, hacking AI models. It was awarded best thesis in my cohort. Spending a year on the attacker's side of this exact problem is why I'm convinced that locking these models away from the public is the worst move on the board. You take nothing away from the attackers, who already have what they need. You only disarm the defenders and the researchers who find and patch the holes. And we've run this experiment before: in the 1990s the US classified strong encryption as a munition and tried to lock it down. It failed. You can't uninvent something.

Check it out → https://ahrefs.com/agent-a?utm_source=robhallam&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=partnerships Rob Hoffman has built multiple millions in revenue across three bootstrapped companies, almost entirely off the back of one SEO playbook. In this episode he reframes SEO as "search everywhere optimization" and breaks down how to get your product cited by ChatGPT and Claude, not just ranked on Google. He walks through the real cheat codes: how a single LinkedIn post outranked their own website, how a 100-view YouTube video gets cited by AI, the first keywords every new founder should target, and why content written entirely by Claude Code will never rank. He pulls live examples from his own tools the whole way through. If you've shipped something with Claude Code or Codex but nobody can find it, this is the episode.

Fable 5 and Mythos 5, pulled worldwide overnight by an export control. Then on June 17 a lab in Beijing released GLM-5.2, an open weights model that lands within about 1% of Opus 4.8 on coding, and made that kind of switch-off almost pointless. Maybe permanently. The question I keep seeing is why you should care if you're never going to drop tens of thousands on the hardware to run it yourself. That's the whole video. Open weights means a near frontier model can now sit on a hard drive that no company and no government can switch off. There's a floor under the entire thing that didn't exist a week ago, and it's there whether you ever touch the model or not. It also matters if you only ever pay for Claude Code or Codex. A free model this good, at a fifth to a sixth of the price, is the thing keeping the frontier APIs honest. And as these open models keep getting better, which they will, the value stops being about who has access and starts being about what you actually build with it. People are calling this the ChatGPT moment for open source models. I think it's closer to the newsletter moment, and I break down exactly what I mean by that. CHAPTERS 0:00 They switched off the best AI in the world 0:24 Why should you care if you can't even run it? 0:46 Where GLM-5.2 actually ranks 1:55 The one catch: it can't see 2:53 Why it somehow costs more per task 4:28 "It's just a rich person's toy" 5:06 Back to the model that got switched off 5:52 You don't own this stuff, you rent it 6:36 The permanent underclass meme 7:20 Why this matters even if you never touch it 8:41 What's actually keeping your AI bill down 9:29 The value isn't access anymore 10:51 Models commoditise labour, not building 11:11 The newsletter moment for AI 12:02 The door is open now SOURCES & FURTHER READING GLM-5.2 benchmarks and cost per task (the graph in the video): https://deepswe.datacurve.ai/ Z.ai's official GLM-5.2 announcement: https://huggingface.co/blo https://www.youtube.com/embed/CEPBYfRcoBU 746 2026-06-21T21:26:46.000Z https://buildinpublic.video/video/why-i-m-leaving-the-uk-at-23-years-old-2 2026-10-01T00:45:15.644Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6nH31HaLN58/maxresdefault.jpg Why I'm leaving the UK at 23 years old...

Today we’re building an eLearning platform for Korean students using the ShipFast (https://ShipFa.st) boilerplate. ⚡️ Nothing is scripted, it’s all improvised from scratch. 🧑‍💻 What we do: - Landing page design & copy - Stripe subscription handling - Google OAuth & magic links - Private student dashboard - Transactional emails 📚 Why we do: My wife is a Korean teacher. She needs a platform to upload learning materials. 1. Her students log in to the platform and subscribe to the monthly plan 2. The teacher uploads PDFs 3. Students get notified by email and download the PDF 4. Students can update their subscription & credit card 🕸️ Tech stack: - NextJS - Mailgun - MongoDB - TailwindCSS The purpose of this stream is not only to help my wife (I need proof I’m a good husband 🥲) but also to show how easy and quick ShipFast (https://ShipFa.st) is.

Today we’re building an eLearning platform for Korean students using the ShipFast (https://ShipFa.st) boilerplate. ️ Nothing is scripted, it’s all improvised from scratch. ‍ What we do: - Landing page design & copy - Stripe subscription handling - Google OAuth & magic links - Private student dashboard - Transactional emails Why we do: My wife is a Korean teacher. She needs a platform to upload learning materials. 1. Her students log in the platform and subscribe to the monthly plan 2. The teacher uploads PDFs 3. Students get notified by email and download the PDF 4. Students can update subscription & credit card ️ Tech stack: - NextJS - Mailgun - MongoDB - TailwindCSS The purpose of this stream is not only to help my wife (I need proof I’m a good husband 🥲) but also to show how easy and quick ShipFast (https://ShipFa.st) is. It’s the NextJS boilerplate I use to build all my 20+ startups and is now used by 200+ indie makers.

I built my own web analytics SaaS 483 days ago, I built my own web analytics out of frustration. I was using Plausible and loved its simplicity, but I felt stuck. Pageviews are nice, but they don’t tell you what makes money. So I built my dream tool: connect Stripe to traffic, and see where revenue actually comes from, so I can double down. Almost nobody cared. It took 120 days to reach $1k MRR. But it didn't mind. I was having fun. I shipped 117,869 lines of code to build features I needed myself. My only KPI was (and still is) features shipped. Slowly, word of mouth kicked in, and the SaaS started growing on its own. 16 months later: - $17K MRR - 983 paying customers - 1.1B pageviews tracked I wanted to quit many times. I’m competing with giants and VC-backed startups, in an overcrowded market, for a vitamin product. What changed everything was niching down: building ultra-specific features for my own problems and hoping others had the same ones. I don’t really do marketing. Most users come from word of mouth. But today is special. I never truly launched DataFast, so I made this video to finally do it.

Today we’re building an eLearning platform for Korean students using the ShipFast (https://ShipFa.st) boilerplate. ️ Nothing is scripted, it’s all improvised from scratch. ‍ What we do: - Landing page design & copy - Stripe subscription handling - Google OAuth & magic links - Private student dashboard - Transactional emails Why we do: My wife is a Korean teacher. She needs a platform to upload learning materials. 1. Her students log in to the platform and subscribe to the monthly plan 2. The teacher uploads PDFs 3. Students get notified by email and download the PDF 4. Students can update their subscription & credit card ️ Tech stack: - NextJS - Mailgun - MongoDB - TailwindCSS The purpose of this stream is not only to help my wife (I need proof I’m a good husband ?) but also to show how easy and quick ShipFast (https://ShipFa.st) is. It’s the NextJS boilerplate I use to build all my 20+ startups and is now used by 200+ indie makers.

Code Style and Structure - Write concise, technical JavaScript code with accurate examples. - Use functional and declarative programming patterns; avoid classes. - Prefer iteration and modularization over code duplication. - Use descriptive variable names with auxiliary verbs (e.g., isLoading, hasError). - Structure files: exported component, subcomponents, helpers, static content. Naming Conventions - Use kebab-case for directories. - Use camelCase for variables and functions. - Use PascalCase for components. - File names for components should be in PascalCase. Rest of the files in kebab-case. - Prefix component names with their type (e.g. ButtonAccount.jsx and ButtonSignin.jsx, CardAnalyticsMain.jsx and CardAnalyticsData.jsx, etc.) Syntax and Formatting - Use the "function" keyword for pure functions. - Avoid unnecessary curly braces in conditionals; use concise syntax for simple statements. - Use declarative JSX. UI and Styling - Use DaisyUI and Tailwind CSS for components and styling. - Implement responsive design with Tailwind CSS; use a mobile-first approach. Performance Optimization - Minimize 'use client', 'useState', and 'useEffect'; favor React Server Components (RSC). - Wrap client components in Suspense with fallback. - Use dynamic loading for non-critical components. - Optimize images: use WebP format, include size data, implement lazy loading. Key Conventions - Optimize Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, FID). - Limit 'use client': - Favor server components and Next.js SSR. - Use only for Web API access in small components. - Avoid for data fetching or state management. - If https://www.youtube.com/embed/fFzcL6Ivqz0 571 2025-03-10T13:15:10.000Z https://buildinpublic.video/video/how-to-find-startup-ideas-solopreneur-javascript-startup 2026-10-05T01:30:14.653Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/TMsBLh9Le0M/maxresdefault.jpg How to Find Startup Ideas #solopreneur #javascript #startup How to Find Startup Ideas #solopreneur #javascript #startup https://www.youtube.com/embed/TMsBLh9Le0M 21 2024-03-19T13:45:04.000Z https://buildinpublic.video/video/how-to-launch-startups-fast-solopreneur-startup-saas 2026-10-05T01:30:14.659Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/IMFSzyx0PwI/maxresdefault.jpg How to launch startups, FAST #solopreneur #startup #saas The startup is ZenVoice, a no-code tool for Stripe users to generate invoices without paying the 0.4% fee: https://zenvoice.io/ I forgot to mention I used AI heavily to code fast: I use GitHub Copilot and my boilerplate ShipFast.

Roman runs Career Hound, a $25K/month job board. His edge isn’t the product. It’s who reads the script on camera. His logic: would you take job advice from a 19-year-old? Gray hairs and wrinkles hit different. On a subconscious level, they signal wisdom and credibility, and that’s what converts in a niche full of anxious job seekers. How he runs it: DMs creators already posting for fun (mostly people in their 50s) Pays ~$20 a video Sends them a sheet of pre-written formats so there’s zero research and zero confusion Repeats the same timeless format (like “companies hiring remotely worldwide”) over and over Result: 11.7M views in 30 days, 779 active subs, $28K last month. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xgEmzg_yFuQ 87 2026-09-11T01:21:38.000Z https://buildinpublic.video/video/bros-height-predictor-app-hit-1-million-downloads-and-pulls-in-100-k-month 2026-09-30T17:15:14.427Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/W72_3jCxG_g/maxresdefault.jpg Bro's "Height Predictor" app hit 1 million downloads and pulls in $100K/month 😲 Bro’s app hit 1 million downloads and pulls in $100K/month This isn’t just hype - Michael was 20, still in college, and his app GoTall blew up by going after a problem teens actually cared about (and proved it with a million downloads across iOS and Android). Started as a side project after job rejections. Priced at $35/year or $5/week. Used TikTok comments to find pain points, then scaled with UGC creators and found a format that reliably brought in thousands of new users, month after month. https://www.youtube.com/embed/W72_3jCxG_g 30 2026-07-21T14:11:41.000Z https://buildinpublic.video/video/how-i-grew-my-mobile-app-to-17k-per-month 2026-10-01T00:45:13.695Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8kM-JcKpcDs/maxresdefault.jpg How I grew my mobile app to $17K per month George built a mobile app without writing a single line of code.

Before launch, he DM’d influencers in the niche and got them posting. The results: 300-person waitlist before launch One Instagram story post = $1,000 in revenue First real post hit 50K views = $4,000 in a single day ~$10K total revenue from that one creator His take: marketing and distribution matter way more than the product.

Say hello to Ted & Casey - the two guys responsible for reinventing the wedding ring. Everything starts back in Los Angeles in 2012. The guys are both working dead end restaurant jobs trying to make it in Hollywood. Until one day, Casey notices something off about Ted - he’s not wearing his wedding ring. Is he a bad husband - a playboy perhaps? Turns out… Ted just can’t stand wearing his wedding ring while doing the dishes. Casey realizes he has the same problem and right then, the business is born. They’re gonna start QALO Ring - a cheap silicone band that you can wear INSTEAD of your wedding ring. But they have no experience in manufacturing… So for the next 6 months, they devote their lives to designing a prototype & working with a supplier. When the first order of 50,000 rings hits their doorstep, they realize something horrible… The rings are defective. Out of shape and not cut properly. But, they don’t give up - they decide to fix all 50,000 rings with a pair of eyebrow scissors They launch a few weeks later and the brand goes VIRAL when NFL quarterback Andy Dalton talks about the ring on an episode of Hard Knocks. They take the company to $25M - and is now valued at [redacted] dollars. QALO is proof that a million dollar business idea might be right at your fingertips. https://www.youtube.com/embed/EB2e07Nmy7E 60 2023-01-26T17:54:16.000Z https://buildinpublic.video/video/i-built-4-saas-apps-to-100k-mrr-here-s-my-exact-playbook 2026-10-01T00:45:13.753Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xeUhKuJbeWQ/maxresdefault.jpg I Built 4 SaaS Apps to $100K MRR: Here's My Exact Playbook Tibo runs a portfolio of successful micro-SaaS projects and in this video, we walk through his specific playbook he uses over and over again to launch successful saas companies.

One year in. But the app isn’t the secret, it’s how he decides what to build. Meet Mauro. He built Symmetry, a gym tracking app that’s now one of the biggest names in the Spanish fitness market. He went through 3 phases: Phase 1: build what we wanted. Terrible. Phase 2: build what users asked for. Mediocre. Phase 3: treat every feature like a science experiment. $160K/month. His system: Set ambitious quarterly OKRs (easier to move metrics when you’re new) Track downloads, activation, retention, ARPU Start from a problem, not a solution Write hypotheses, then A/B test everything for 2+ weeks Kill what doesn’t move the needle, double down on what does One example: adding a single screen at the end of a workout increased retention by 3%. Meanwhile two full redesigns of the home screen moved nothing. https://www.youtube.com/embed/vcVNj0kqP_o 49 2026-09-11T19:39:02.000Z https://buildinpublic.video/video/4-friends-built-one-of-the-most-successful-i-os-apps-ever-then-sold-it-for-millions 2026-10-06T22:30:13.264Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/o0zNKrT3iuk/maxresdefault.jpg 4 friends built one of the most successful iOS apps EVER then sold it for millions 😱 Four friends built one of the most successful iOS apps ever, sold it for millions, but the real story changes everything you think about building apps in 2026.

The playbook: Pick a painful B2B problem you’ve lived Build the database manually to start Launch on Product Hunt for the first signal Scale with programmatic SEO (half his revenue) https://www.youtube.com/embed/fOppTpypEpg 44 2026-08-27T16:10:30.000Z https://buildinpublic.video/video/bros-comment-seeding-tactic-hits-a-1-conversion-rate-for-his-10k-mrr-app 2026-10-04T16:00:13.987Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qpkPM1xV_mY/maxresdefault.jpg Bro's comment-seeding tactic hits a 1% conversion rate for his $10k MRR app Bro’s comment-seeding tactic hits a 1% conversion rate... He’s strategically dropping in comments across multiple accounts, and it isn’t just for social proof; it actually converts at rates that blow past what most expect from organic social. This isn’t viral luck. It’s process: tracking which posts need a boost, seeding the right conversations, and driving viewers to ask about your product. That’s how they landed a 1% conversion rate -which is super high for purely organic play. https://www.youtube.com/embed/qpkPM1xV_mY 27 2026-07-31T16:57:58.000Z https://buildinpublic.video/video/the-exact-tech-stack-behind-a-440-000-per-month-app 2026-10-01T00:45:13.661Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ri3iThA6Z3E/maxresdefault.jpg The exact tech stack behind a $440,000 per month app $440K MRR founder reveals the exact tech stack behind his 70K+ subscriber app You’d expect some insane, cutting-edge, overengineered setup behind it.

If you don’t have proof of ownership - sorry sir - you’re not allowed. What's crazy is they sold 1500 membership slots for 10K a piece - totaling out to $15M. Then they made another $15M on the secondary market. That’s $30M before they even opened their doors. It’s co-founded by Gary Vee - but that’s not the real reason it made millions. How can they sell $10K memberships to an unopened restaurant? They can do this because they’re hacking into people’s brains… kinda… let me explain Psychologists believe there are 8 desires biologically programmed into humans. One of those is… “to be superior, winning, and keeping up with the Joneses”(from Cashvertising). Rich people will throw their money at opportunities like this just for social approval. There are tons of other businesses built off this human desire: Black Cards, Equinox, Private Airport Lounges. If you can build something that taps into “keeping up with the Joneses”, that’s a million dollar business idea #12 https://www.youtube.com/embed/btuQmaHn4ZU 47 2023-01-19T17:51:16.000Z https://buildinpublic.video/video/i-grew-my-saa-s-from-17-k-to-143-k-mrr-in-4-months 2026-10-03T15:00:13.088Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/n7Obxh9-Rc8/maxresdefault.jpg How Postiz Went From $17K to $143K/Month in 4 Months A few months ago, Nevo came onto the channel and told us about how he was making $17K per month with Postiz.

The wild part? The stack is dead simple: Cloudflare for hosting + domains + static DB (free) Supabase for backend, auth, user data ($20/mo) PostHog for analytics + A/B testing ($50K in free startup credits) Google AdSense for monetization (free) Repurpose.io to auto cross-post ($30/mo) React on the frontend, vibe-coded with AI Discord (7K members) for community He barely touched the code after AI hit.

No exotic infra, no 10-person team. Just a senior engineer scratching his own itch at a local golf course, shipping nights and weekends until 150 courses were paying him. Now at $350K ARR and pacing to $800K, he finally quit Meta to go all in. The lesson: the stack isn’t the moat.

He made $1M building and selling apps… using this 5-step strategy. Step 1: Goals – Decide if you wanna sell in 3 months, 6 months, or more. This shapes your roadmap, your development speed, and your product focus. Step 2: Validation – Launch a single landing page. Collect emails, gauge interest. Hit ~15% conversion? You’re good. Build in public, show your work, get early eyeballs. Step 3: Build – Focus on one key feature. Share with early users, get feedback, improve, relaunch. It’s a continuous loop of build → feedback → edit → rebuild. Step 4: Growth – Use organic growth tactics. Again, build in public. Early audience + social proof = unstoppable momentum. Step 5: Sell – Package your app as a business someone else can run. Buyers care about ARR, gross margins, ARPU, LTV, CAC, churn. Nail these metrics and your business becomes a hot asset. No fluff. No overcomplicating. Just ship fast, validate, iterate, grow, and sell. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Q4FQQQC9nTE 59 2026-07-16T20:24:09.000Z https://buildinpublic.video/video/the-first-app-i-ever-built-makes-25k-month 2026-10-01T19:15:13.913Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Q4k8JNYKJT0/maxresdefault.jpg The First App I Ever Built Makes $25K/Month Kyan is a college student who built his first app and turned it into a $25K/month business.

Built the MVP in 2 days. But when asked what advice she’d give herself this is what she said: “Spite is the greatest motivation you could ever have.” “Peace and love doesn’t build empires. Pain does.” The most successful people started because someone didn’t believe in them. If you’re in a difficult chapter, you’re in the luckiest season of your life, you have the most fuel you’ll ever have. Most people run from pain. The founders who build empires use it as rocket fuel. https://www.youtube.com/embed/bCQxzyK1ZSw 79 2026-09-07T16:02:00.000Z https://buildinpublic.video/video/i-built-this-website-in-8-hours-with-claude-now-it-makes-40-k-month 2026-10-06T22:30:12.948Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/s9aLA4IOSZE/maxresdefault.jpg I built this website in 8 hours with Claude.

If you don’t know this skill you’ll struggle to convince anyone to buy your product… It’s a secret superpower proven to generate billions of dollars and it’s the reason Apple is in the four comma club. Whenever you buy any product or read any ad… you’re subconsciously being persuaded by this. It’s called copywriting, which is literally just words on a page designed to sell you something. But most businesses overlook this because they’d rather have a cute logo or a fancy website. But customers don’t give a shit about your cute logo - they’ll only buy if you can convince them you’ll solve their problems. And that’s exactly what amazing copy is designed to do. Like this ad for the iPod, which singlehandedly turned Apple into a household name. So - how do you get good at copywriting? Here’s some advice from Gary Halbert, the copywriter who generated $1B with words: “All you need to do is handwrite, word for word, one amazing piece of copywriting” I left one piece in the comments if you wanna try it - it only takes 5 minutes.

For more business ideas sent to your inbox every day visit → starterstory.com #entrepreneur #businessideas #milliondollarbusiness #starterstory starting a business, airbnb story, selling cereal, how to start a company, building a billion dollar company, Ya know AirBnB? Well they started as a cereal company… kinda… check this out: In 2007, the 2 founders of AirBnB are looking for investors for the DUMBEST startup idea of all time: “When hotels are fully booked, we’ll offer an extra air bed in our apartment for $80 a night.” They get denied by 15 investors in a row… while also stacking up $30K in credit card debt. On the verge of failure they brainstorm a crazy idea to get out of this mess: They’re gonna sell cereal. Seriously… The Obama McCain presidential campaign is heating up and the DNC is in a couple days. So they create limited edition cereal boxes and call ‘em Obama O’s and Cap'n’ McCain’s. They hand-fold the boxes, seal them with a hot-glue gun, and stuff 'em with cereal. They slap a $40 price tag on the box, and within 2 days they sell out & make back their $30K. Fast forward a few weeks and they're re-pitching their idea to Paul Graham & YCombinator. They get denied again UNTIL the very last second when they tell the cereal story that saved the company. And Paul says: “If you can convince people to pay 40 bucks for a $4 box of cereal, maybe you can actually get strangers to stay in other strangers’ homes.” Now AirBnb is worth over $50 billion dollars, all thanks to a box of cereal. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ej0Vhz1-fOA 59 2023-01-17T17:50:17.000Z https://buildinpublic.video/video/this-10k-month-app-helps-you-stop-doom-scrolling 2026-10-01T00:45:17.981Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/x4r418X9FQY/maxresdefault.jpg This $10K/month app helps you stop doom scrolling this $10K/month app helps you stop doom scrolling https://www.youtube.com/embed/x4r418X9FQY 59 2025-07-27T19:30:49.000Z https://buildinpublic.video/video/this-app-made-over-1m 2026-10-01T00:45:17.985Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VfNRd5Rk0cM/maxresdefault.jpg This app made over $1M Ania Wysocka experienced a panic attack in university and decided to build a mental health app. Today, Rootd has been downloaded more than 4M times, and has made over $1M! 🛠️ Want to build your own app with AI?

Ever notice your best ideas never come when you want to? You're sitting at your desk for hours, trying to solve a problem. Nothing. Then it's time for bed, you get in the shower and boom. You suddenly have the answer. Now you're too excited to go to sleep. And your precious 8h of sleep are f#cked. So before Bryan Johnson gets mad at you. Follow these 4 steps: 1. Spend hours actively trying to solve the problem 2. Take a break: run, walk, nap, shower. 3. Let your subconscious do the work. 4. If it didn't work yet, repeat. The magic always happen at step 2 when you stop forcing it, your subconscious keeps working in the background, making connections you can't see. So next time you're stuck on a problem? Don't try harder. Just take a break, get your steps in. https://www.youtube.com/embed/h1ckyMlcWo8 12 2025-06-25T12:04:07.000Z https://buildinpublic.video/video/pov-you-locked-in-and-made-1m-with-your-silly-websites 2026-10-01T01:15:14.158Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/CXZwk8F4Mzo/maxresdefault.jpg pov: you locked in and made $1M with your silly websites pov: you locked in and made $1M with your silly little websites https://www.youtube.com/embed/CXZwk8F4Mzo 25 2025-06-29T11:01:42.000Z https://buildinpublic.video/video/day-77-building-a-100k-month-saas-in-hong-kong 2026-10-06T22:30:11.608Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/TnNSduLkkus/maxresdefault.jpg Day 77 building a $100K/month SaaS in Hong Kong 👋 Apply to join Profitable Founder Mastermind: https://tally.so/r/dWZ5Jz Starting this vlog series to document the journey of growing Distribb from $0 to $100K MRR.

Then he cracked the code: partner with a creator, focus on the problem, and scale with a playbook he can repeat. His first real SaaS (Minea) went from $0 to $750K MRR. 100% bootstrapped. No VC. Just a small team and a YouTube creator as co-founder. 7 months ago he left to start again from scratch. Today he just hit $1M ARR with Drop Magic. In this episode he breaks down every plateau he hit ($0, $30K, $100K, $300K, $500K, $750K) and the specific strategy he used to break through each one. You will learn: • Why having a creator as co-founder is the ultimate cheat code in 2026 • The exact playbook he used 3 times to scale SaaS products • How he went from $0 to $1K MRR in 5 days • Why he almost burned out at $300K and how hiring C-levels saved him • The "wow moment" framework that makes products sell themselves Loic Berthelot: Find Loic on X: https://x.com/LoicBerthelot Try Dropmagic: https://dropmagic.ai/?ref=florian Find me: On X: https://x.com/floriandarroman On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/florian.darroman/ Chapters: 0:00 Intro 0:56 Breaking the $0 plateau 2:46 $30K: creator partnership unlock 3:32 5 years coding for nobody 5:04 Why he never gave up 6:13 Luck vs putting in work 8:35 What is Minea (the SaaS) 10:09 Breaking the $100K plateau 13:45 $100K to $300K with YouTubers 15:17 $300K: webinars that scaled 16:52 When ads actually worked 17:52 $500K to $750K: raising prices 19:33 $60K MRR in 24 hours 20:36 Key lessons at $750K MRR 22:11 Almost burned out at $300K 23:24 Team evolution by revenue stage 25:19 Hiring C-levels changes everything 27:25 Letting go as a founder 29:04 Shopify-style release cycles 30:21 Why he left Minea 31:48 Drop Magic hits $1M ARR 33:09 Why every SaaS needs a creator 35:25 Back to coding with AI 38:25 Aligning incentives with equity 39:35 First $1K in five days 40:40 The wow moment that sells 42:36 Build slow when distribution is locked 43: https://www.youtube.com/embed/lrcGX3-8URk 3221 2026-03-02T12:00:00.000Z https://buildinpublic.video/video/200k-mrr-founder-shares-how-to-build-a-saas-in-2026 2026-10-06T22:30:11.873Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ejI5MXXVmVM/maxresdefault.jpg $200k MRR Founder shares how to build a SaaS in 2026. $200k MRR Founder shares how to build a SaaS in 2026. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ejI5MXXVmVM 65 2026-01-29T01:24:25.000Z https://buildinpublic.video/video/how-to-build-a-b2b-saas-david-park-s-playbook 2026-10-05T12:00:13.265Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NS1nPkSalb4/maxresdefault.jpg How to build a B2B SaaS (David Park’s Playbook) How to build a B2B SaaS (David Park’s Playbook) https://www.youtube.com/embed/NS1nPkSalb4 84 2026-01-06T14:23:44.000Z https://buildinpublic.video/video/daniel-dalen-just-saved-my-day 2026-10-01T01:15:13.362Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/s5BTDnadh3Y/maxresdefault.jpg Daniel Dalen just saved my day Daniel Dalen just saved my day https://www.youtube.com/embed/s5BTDnadh3Y 69 2025-07-16T12:06:47.000Z https://buildinpublic.video/video/i-felt-like-a-failure 2026-10-01T01:15:13.368Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8lw8Wpv4w2U/maxresdefault.jpg I felt like a failure I felt like a failure https://www.youtube.com/embed/8lw8Wpv4w2U 29 2025-04-14T04:38:12.000Z https://buildinpublic.video/video/10m-year-saas-founder-explains-how-he-got-his-first-investor 2026-10-03T06:00:16.165Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LNy5-4s2EgI/maxresdefault.jpg $10M/year SaaS Founder explains how he got his first investor $10M/year SaaS Founder explains how he got his first investor https://www.youtube.com/embed/LNy5-4s2EgI 57 2025-12-27T11:02:48.000Z https://buildinpublic.video/video/10m-year-founder-explains-how-he-would-build-a-1m-saas-in-2026 2026-09-30T14:15:16.957Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8cXGoDHsZ4w/maxresdefault.jpg $10M/Year Founder Explains How He Would Build a $1M SaaS in 2026 🔹 Never miss insights from the best founders: https://floriandarroman.com/newsletter David Park went from his parents' bedroom to $10M ARR.
