RESEARCH + DISTRIBUTION > INVENTION

This guy made $30M+ revenue with 2 unoriginal ideas.

Didn't raise VC.
Didn't invent a new category.

Instead, he went deep into PROVEN markets, studied them, copied what was working, and acquired customers with cold email & SEO.

Instead of coming up with a new idea, he:

Studied competitors on sites like G2 & Capterra
Borrowed their marketing playbooks
& of course, executed well over a long period of time.

Let others reinvent the wheel. We don't have...

we're cooking up a new product, and are laying the groundwork for marketing channels for it.

This founder literally used $0 marketing ideas to grow to 320k users! 🍿

TL;DR

Built a SaaS → 320K signups | Bootstrapped | 1.7M+ visitors | No VC.

Here’s what actually moved the needle - 12 Proven $0 Marketing Channels:

  1. SEO → Start before launch. It compounds. Early landing page = early traffic.

  2. Blog → Content = compounding traffic + trust. Write stories + pain points.

  3. Medium → Don’t pick one. Run both self-hosted + Medium. Double exposure.

  4. Landing Page → Treat it like ...

This is crazy 🤯

I built an app in 10 minutes
I built the distribution in 5 minutes 

Literally created a beautiful APP w functional navigation in 2-3 prompts

I used to think AI UGC was cooked but..

The quality of these AI reels is insane.

@starter_story popular relevant fresh

what makes an building your own business special:

you wake up every day and:
– solve problems
– ship improvements
– hope to get it in front of a few more people

you don't wake up and try to impress your boss, peers, investors, create meetings, do politics, etc.

the only scorecard is PROFIT which is impossible to fake

this makes every day fun, challenging and productive.

i still haven't gotten bored yet.

AI Disruption Opportunities

1 companies identified as potential AI disruption targets

1. Apple Mail — Score: 12/20

Revenue: ~$NaN/mo MRR
What they do: Native email client for macOS and iOS that integrates tightly with Apple’s ecosystem and supports multiple email providers.[5]

Disruption Scores:

Criteria Score Reason
Manual Processes 3/5 Unknown automation level
Old Tech Stack 1/5 Already AI-powered
High Pricing 3/5 Pricing unknown
Low NPS 5/5 Widespread frustration (10 complaints found)

AI Angle: Apple Mail can be meaningfully disrupted by an AI‑first email client that focuses on deep workflow automation, cross‑ecosystem reach, and aggressive iteration—especially for prosumers and teams—despite Apple’s recent Apple Intelligence features in Mail.[2][4][5][8]

Clone this because: Below is a disruption-focused breakdown. ---
