According to Neil Patel's data about influencer marketing, newsletter/email is the most effective channel when it comes to ROI (attached infographics; source)
But not so many influencers own newsletters; in most cases, only social media channels.
As a data engineer who has little experience in full-stack software development, I ve been experimenting with vibe coding tools to move fast in the early stages.
My flow looked like this:
Prototyped the main UI in V0 (after 300+ iterations/conversations back and forth)
I recently came across a post by the founder of Chatbase, who described the situation: "If you want to make your business visible, you have to be a popular founder."
It's true that many companies have now taken off thanks to the cult of the founder (Jenni AI David Park, Cluely Chungin "Roy" Lee etc.).
Commissions suck. Siplify ends spreadsheet headaches & complex plans. Go from flat file to accurate commission statements & plan docs in minutes. Built by a CFO who lived the pain. Join beta: try to break it!
I just read that Poland wants to launch a pilot project of a 4-day work week from January 2026 (although a 4-hour work week would sound better).
I want to ask if any of you in your company have tried this concept of a shorter work week, and how it has affected the results of your employees and the company?
Everywhere I look, people say build in public to grow your product and audience. Sounds great except when you re starting from zero and literally nobody cares yet. From what I ve figured out, it s less about getting likes right now and more about leaving a trail, progress updates, decisions you ve made, even mistakes. Most of it will get ignored in the moment, but it builds a record that people can stumble on later. Also, public doesn t have to mean blasting it to Twitter. It could be small niche communities, Reddit threads like this, or a tiny newsletter. Basically, don t measure it by immediate engagement. Think of it as planting seeds for your future self. Anyone here actually started with no audience and made build in public work? What did you do?
