Do you think BARD will overtake ChatGPT?

Do you think BARD will take over ChatGPT because it's part of the Google ecosystem and will be integrated and adopted quicker by the mass? Or does ChatGPT already have a considerable headstart?

How do you use ChatGPT to boost your daily efficiency?

For me it works best in information retrieval and idea generation. What's in there for you?

I went from 0 to 13K Followers on Twitter in 10 months. Here's how 👀

1. Growth from 0 to 100 followers I connected with people (in DM) who did the same things as me at that time. As a result, we engaged with each other content. More engagement more impressions more new connections. Also, I added some boosters for a smooth start: active hashtags, tagged tools, and used visual content. If I should start from the beginning once again, I d do the same. 2. Growth from 100 to 1K followers I stayed consistent. Tweeted 1-2 times daily, replied 10-20 times daily, connected with new people, and experimented with new content formats. Yes, it takes time. What helped? Buildinpublic, Growinpublic, and Learninpublic content. You don t need to be a content farm providing educational content 24/7. 3. Growth from 1K to 5K followers I continued being consistent and engaging with followers. The only change - I switched my focus from engaging with big accounts to engaging in my account. 4. Growth from 5K to 13K followers Experiments, experiments, and one more time experiments. At this point, you need to stand out from the accounts in the same niche. The good decision is to add some personal content about your lifestyle, traveling, etc., so that people remember you. Growing your personal brand gives you a lot of opportunities. So, start small, find your audience, experiment, double down on what works, and most importantly - have fun. P.S. I deconstructed my growth from the very beginning in a Notion file. Tips, secrets, and real examples with self-reflection. You can get it for Free https://makerbox.ck.page/twitter...

0 to 45K users in 12 months: Our journey 🚀

We wanted to build an AI-powered productivity assistant. Prior to development, we launched a simple email newsletter and landing page to collect leads. We promised daily emails with habit suggestions, which we coded in 5 days. (Check out Insumo 1.0 launch at my Profile) We obtained ~1000 organic leads with launching on Product Hunt, BetaList, and Reddit to generate interest. With the traction gained, we secured a pre-seed funding round from investors. With the funding we launched our iOS app, as our target audience and 80% of paying users are on iOS. We did Performance marketing on Facebook, Snapchat etc and brought in 25K+ more users. With paid traffic also resulting in organic traffic which bumped us to 35K users. We later started playing the SEO game, wrote content in various platforms and mostly on our website www.insumo.io. Kept creating content on social media, created podcasts called "Habit Talks" and kept talking with our active users which helped us to gain 10K users. Our focus was to acquire mostly free users, learn from their behavior and needs, and launch our AI-powered web app. Now We're preparing for the public beta launch of our web app.
