in @ycombinator they have a playbook on how to get customers ASAP for your startup. if you follow this, you’ll brute force your way to 100 customers, almost no matter what your product is. Here it is: 1/ launch-max. product hunt, hackerNews, devhunt, betalist, peerlist, indie hackers, etc. YC tells you to launch 3 times MINIMUM 2/ pull your competitor’s strongest backlinks and get yourself listed in the same places. whatever article they have listed, you make a better version and ask the site to replace it (or supplement) with yours. 3/ WARM OUTBOUND. Everyone knows about building in public. but you still need to capitalize on the 99% of leads who see your content but don’t come inbound scrape everyone who likes your posts on Linkedin each week, check if they fit your customer profile, and message them. you set this up to fire automatically with @origamichat (i dropped a prompt in the comments) 4/ find 20 to 30 ugc creators on tiktok / instagram in your niche. ask them to create content about your product, ideally from a fresh account. pay them a fixed fee ($15–$30 per video) plus performance incentives ($1k for 1 million views, etc). you can use @sideshift_app (best creators imo) and line up 20+ of these creators in 1 day 5/ when building in public, a video is 10x better than an image/text - spam use cases of ur product on X/Linkedin 6/ figure out where your customers actually spend time. which slack/discord groups are they in? what newsletters do they open? which podcasts and accounts do they follow? pay those people for shoutouts 7/ there's a fresh trend on x basically every week. jump on the relevant ones and fold your product in (like i’m doing right now). To find trends i just use Origami & search “Lead Gen/GTM posts that are viral on X” to find the best posts every week in my niche Then, I will reply to those, quote tweet them, and use the formats that work myself (that’s the secret to why my account has high engagement BTW - you can do this too) --------- if you are doing all this every single week and DO NOT GIVE UP (launching, posting demos, contacting new customers) I guarantee you will hit your customer goals. Then the game becomes retention. will be posting 2-3 more growth hacks every single week

Steal this startup idea Facebook Marketplace App Studio Facebook has 3B users. 16% use Marketplace monthly. That's 480M monthly users. 51% of ALL social media purchases happen there. People make their entire living flipping on Marketplace. Meanwhile: * eBay has thousands of apps (some acquired for $100M+) * Shopify devs earned $1B through their app ecosystem Yet there are ZERO real tools for Facebook Marketplace The API allows it. I vibe-coded one myself. It worked. Here's what sellers would pay for: 1. Price scanners (is this dresser underpriced?) 2. Arbitrage alerts (worth more on eBay?) 3. Auto-responders for leads 4. Listing optimization tools Productize what people are doing "in the shadows." Massive platform. No competition. That's the alpha.

TikTok Shop + Seedance 2 + Claude Code is f*cking cracked i just built a tool that scrapes the top-selling TikTok Shop products in your niche, pulls every creator video selling them, and lets you recreate any one as an on-brand video for your own product using AI. if you're a DTC brand or ecom operator and you're still paying creators $500 per video or briefing an agency every week, this replaces that entire workflow. here's how it works: > drop in your brand info and 1-3 product photos search your niche on TikTok Shop like "gut health supplements" or "skincare" or whatever you're selling > browse the top-selling products and every creator video promoting them pick a viral video that's already proven to convert > the AI analyzes the hook, structure, and pacing > one click and Seedance 2 generates a new version built around your product why test from scratch when you can just recreate what's already working? RT + reply "VIRAL" and i'll send you the full app + setup guide (must follow so i can dm)

Here it is: 1/ launch-max. product hunt, hackerNews, devhunt, betalist, peerlist, indie hackers, etc. YC tells you to launch 3 times MINIMUM 2/ pull your competitor’s strongest backlinks and get yourself listed in the same places. whatever article they have listed, you make a better version and ask the site to replace it (or supplement) with yours. 3/ WARM OUTBOUND. Everyone knows about building in public. but you still need to capitalize on the 99% of leads who see your content but don’t come inbound scrape everyone who likes your posts on Linkedin each week, check if they fit your customer profile, and message them. you set this up to fire automatically with @origamichat (i dropped a prompt in the comments) 4/ find 20 to 30 ugc creators on tiktok / instagram in your niche. ask them to create content about your product, ideally from a fresh account. pay them a fixed fee ($15–$30 per video) plus performance incentives ($1k for 1 million views, etc). you can use @sideshift_app (best creators imo) and line up 20+ of these creators in 1 day 5/ when building in public, a video is 10x better than an image/text - spam use cases of ur product on X/Linkedin 6/ figure out where your customers actually spend time. which slack/discord groups are they in? what newsletters do they open? which podcasts and accounts do they follow? pay those people for shoutouts 7/ there's a fresh trend on x basically every week. jump on the relevant ones and fold your product in (like i’m doing right now).

TikTok Shop + Seedance 2 + Claude Code is f*cking cracked i just built a tool that scrapes the top-selling TikTok Shop products in your niche, pulls every creator video selling them, and lets you recreate any one as an on-brand video for your own product using AI. if you're a DTC brand or ecom operator and you're still paying creators $500 per video or briefing an agency every week, this replaces that entire workflow. here's how it works: > drop in your brand info and 1-3 product photos search your niche on TikTok Shop like "gut health supplements" or "skincare" or whatever you're selling > browse the top-selling products and every creator video promoting them pick a viral video that's already proven to convert > the AI analyzes the hook, structure, and pacing > one click and Seedance 2 generates a new version built around your product why test from scratch when you can just recreate what's already working? RT + reply "VIRAL" and i'll send you the full app + setup guide (must follow so i can dm)

Steal this startup idea Facebook Marketplace App Studio Facebook has 3B users. 16% use Marketplace monthly. That's 480M monthly users. 51% of ALL social media purchases happen there. People make their entire living flipping on Marketplace. Meanwhile: * eBay has thousands of apps (some acquired for $100M+) * Shopify devs earned $1B through their app ecosystem Yet there are ZERO real tools for Facebook Marketplace The API allows it. I vibe-coded one myself. It worked. Here's what sellers would pay for: 1. Price scanners (is this dresser underpriced?) 2. Arbitrage alerts (worth more on eBay?) 3. Auto-responders for leads 4. Listing optimization tools Productize what people are doing "in the shadows." Massive platform. No competition. That's the alpha.
