I kind of think it's @wickedguro play from beginning to get others to spin up clones just to promote cross promote Postiz or he just rides the wave.
Other take the bite, install the trash clone and just go check Postiz like it and keep with it.
I'm still happy camper with my open source self hosted

I was skeptical about AI agents. Thought they were just another OpenClaw with a big company behind them.
Oh boy, was I wrong.
Since I have Cursor, I got access to GtokBot and decided to build a creator outreach pipeline.
Here's what I set up:
> They use Apify to finds creators based on keywords and engagement metrics.
> Qualified creators get logged in Notion.
> The agent drafts personalized outreach emails.
> It has full context of our offers and partnership playbook, also stored in Notion.
> When creators reply, we adjust the approach and negotiate.
The result? 2 creators closed in the last 2 days.
And I'm barely touching the process.
This is the kind of AI automation I've been waiting for. Pure magic.
All organic. No paid ads.
What's driving the growth:
> ASO to capture App Store search traffic.
> SEO focused on intent-based guides that get cited by AI, mostly ChatGPT.
> Those guides link to both my App Store listing and web funnel.
> CTAs only appear once users start scrolling.
> The deeper they scroll, the more CTAs we introduce.
The idea is simple: give users the answer they came for, then gradually introduce the product.
SEO + ASO + AI citations are starting to compound nicely.
NOTE Yes, I edited RC screenshot to hide my app icon!!!
One thing that always frustrated me with AI UGC was maintaining consistent characters across different poses and scenes.
I'd get irritated and eventually abandon the project.
Now, I think the models are finally good enough to solve this. The trick is prompting for a full character and scene, not just a face swap.
My current workflow:
> 1. Use Kie AI for image generation.
> 2. Use Codex to build a reference library of poses, expressions, and scenes.
> 3. Branch and merge images using HeliosGen to maintain consistency.
> 4. Turn those images into videos using HeliosGen's reference-based workflow.
The results are getting surprisingly good.
Now I'm trying to figure out the best ways to grow and monetize these AI UGC characters.
Still experimenting, but the production side is finally starting to click.

Been a while since I found something this good for generating consistent AI characters.
Formula of work happiness:
1. At least 3 remote jobs
2. Claude and Codex subscriptions
3. Key - move to a different continent
Iām literally gonna scrape all of his dudes video transcripts and ask Claude if any of the tactics could be applied to my app.
On top of that just use the REA repo to do the actual planing.
You can literally build an AI influencer from scratch and turn it into a distribution channel.
And it's easier than you think.
As Alex Hormozi says, attention is the new currency. Here's how I'd approach it:
> 1. Find an open-source image/video generation tool. I'm using HeliosGen (github.com/SegFault42/Heliosā¦).
> 2. Get an API key from kie.ai to power image and video generation.
> 3. Use Codex or Claude with browser access, or have it build a CLI so you can automate the entire workflow.
> 4. Go on Pinterest, collect reference images for poses, outfits, lighting, and scenes. Build a small knowledge base.
> 5. Create your own original AI character. Generate multiple reference images until you get consistent results across different poses and environments.
> 6. Connect those images into video sequences. Keep branching into new poses, scenes, and emotions until you find what works.
> 7. Start posting. Learn to write compelling hooks, test formats, and double down on what gets attention.
> 8. Monetize through clipping programs, affiliate offers, or digital products linked in your bio.
Start small and compound.
The real skill isn't generating AI content. It's learning how to capture attention and convert it.
Once you figure that out, you can promote pretty much anything.
Just be transparent that your character is AI-generated.
I'm sharing the JSON prompt I use to turn reference images into consistent AI characters in the first comment. š

And there is an abundance of people who can only do that and when they open Claude it looks like an SpaceX rocket to them.
They got their market and thanks to content creators and their āhow to make money with AIā videos people believe itās easy
With recent trouble with getting apps approved on the App Store Iām wondering if itās just smart to buy existing app and have it transferred to my account.
Less headaches with getting it approved and I just focus on rebuilding it.
Actually did it with two apps already and review is just faster.
Any experience with that?
I look at it like compound interest.

> Eventually, you want a flywheel where organic growth reduces your reliance on paid acquisition.
At $10k MRR, you might realistically keep $2-$4k after ads, store fees, and other costs.
But even that isn't necessarily take-home profit. Ideally, you're reinvesting most of it into growth.
And with App Store payout delays, cash flow matters.
$10k MRR is a milestone, not a $10k monthly salary.
When people say they make $10k/m, is that the revenue they see on RevenueCat or what they actually take home?
Like if you make $10k/m but spend $7k on ads, you're only left with $3k right?
If I want $10k to actually hit my bank account, how much MRR should I aim for?
Basically, how much are yāall spending on ads to hit $10k/m? asking so i can allocate my budget lol
If you had $20k invested in crypto and your portfolio was currently at break-even, would you:
> Hold and wait for the next bull run
> Cash out and invest in a business
I'm considering buying an established app with decent revenue and growth potential.
Curious what you'd do.
Go on TrustMRR.
> Find a product launched this year that's showing decent growth.
> Check their SEO and identify keyword gaps.
> Use OpenSEO + DataForSEO to target keywords they're probably ignoring.
> Get organic traffic and convert it into paying users.
> Reinvest the profits into Google and Meta Ads.
> Rinse and repeat.
You don't need to reinvent the wheel. You need distribution.
If youāre in your early 20s, hereās what Iād do:
Stack 2-3 part-time remote freelance gigs where nobody gives a fuck what you do, as long as you deliver.
Work on your own side project in parallel.
Move to Bangkok.
Your schedule looks something like this:
09:00 - Wake up, work on your own project.
14:00-15:00 - Europe wakes up. Switch to freelance work.
15:00-21:00 - Get your client work done, keep building your own shit in between.
Somewhere in there, hit the gym or do whatever keeps you sane.
Weekends? Go out, have a few Singhas, be a degenerate, or go meditate in a temple. Whatever works for you.
Do this for 6 months and see how much your life changes.
Yes, youāll work a lot. Who gives a fuck? Itās not meant to be easy, bro.
The timing couldn't be funnier š
On a day when everyone on X is talking about Apple terminating developer accounts, I get an email welcoming me to the App Store Small Business Program.
Not quite the Apple email I was expecting after reading all those horror stories today.
I'll happily take the 15% commission instead of 30%, though.
Scary AF! Just when I started to gain traction on my own app this stuff started to pop up more and more. Think Iāll have to clean up my own portfolio and just lay low and hope this storm passes and I survive.
In the meantime Iāll just switch focus to pure web apps where I can enjoy daily dispute and potential lawsuits.
WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!
With all the recent reports of Apple banning developer accounts, I'm starting to wonder if it's time to give Google Play more attention.
I've been so focused on iOS that I've barely explored Android properly.
The market is massive, and surely there's room to build a decent subscription business there too.
Anyone here monetizing Android apps successfully? Curious how the economics compare to iOS.
