Built 8 products. Shipped 3. Killed the rest early. Helped take a B2B SaaS from pre-seed β†’ Series B β†’ exit. Now I build simple tools for offline businesses and help others find the simplest solution to complex problems. Philosophy: less is more. Kill early. Ship what matters. Follow for honest product lessons.

Well, I’ve been quiet for a while because I’ve been building a game πŸ˜… So much fun when you don’t have to think about MQL, SQL, ARPA etc. Looking forward to beta testers btw. 😎

Studio owners: how do you actually track retainer hours and know which clients are profitable? I'm trying to understand this properly before building anything. 2 minutes, mostly numbers, no pitch. If you run a studio with monthly retainers, I'd really value your answer πŸ‘‡ tally.so/r/2EGVaA

I love this view so much. I've just upgraded my @DataFast_ account to 100K events as there is more and more traffic coming. btw, all because of the neat SEO agentic setup i built. @marclou thanks for the great product (again)!

1 day before starting my vacation. Closing July strong. It's my biggest month so far. Feels good πŸ€“

A detail I'm happy with. The countdown is set in a mono face with tabular numerals, so the digits don't jitter as they change. Small thing. It's the difference between "app" and "instrument."

Most Pomodoro timers look like a settings panel exploded. I wanted one that looks like an instrument. Monochrome, mono type, one red accent. It's your new tab. So i build one. Free.

Slow but steady growth. Automated, Claude driven SEO play is slowly picking up. 0.49% is a terrible conversion rate (especially if I compare it to the other product), but this is what you get early in the journey.

everyone's paying $99/mo for AI SEO tools right now. i built mine with two markdown files and a scheduled task. it runs weekly, writes ranked-priority content, generates on-brand images, and last week it found and fixed 4 broken pages on my site. full recipe, nothing gated 🧡

honest bits: ➑ CTR is stuck at 0.3% while impressions 3x'd. classic programmatic SEO β€” visibility compounds first, clicks lag. still working on it. ➑ feeding the agent ahrefs data through the browser is clunky. works though.

total cost πŸ’°: βœ… claude max ($90/mo, used for everything anyway) βœ… ~$0.50/article in image credits βœ… 5 min/week of my time the full recipe ➑️ prompts, file structure, the weekly loop ➑️ is in the article. no email, no DM, just take it: xitter.gq/marcin_knows/status/20… i run a few systems like this. documenting them one by one β€” follow along.

Currently building something around this
i've been testing Higgsfield MCP + the NEW Claude Opus 4.8 to generate ALL our Meta ads creative inside 1 conversation... and it has been ABSOLUTELY cooking so i've decided to document the ENTIRE workflow... covering the setup, market research, image gen, animation, copy, and 7-day test campaign structure to take a Meta ads creative batch from 0 to launch in a single afternoon as a service based business (agency, firm, brick and mortar, consultant, etc) here's what's included inside the guide: β†’ Higgsfield MCP setup in 5 minutes (claude.ai integrations β†’ paste mcp URL β†’ authorize. 30+ image and video models inside one Claude chat) β†’ phase 1, market research + angle development (master brief prompt that returns 7 ad angles ranked by differentiation, top 3 expanded into 3 hook variations each) β†’ phase 2, image generation with ChatGPT Images 2.0 (3 variations per angle in under 90 seconds. model selection table covering ChatGPT Images 2.0, Soul 2.0, Nano Banana Pro) β†’ phase 3, scroll-stop animation with Seedance 2.0 (static image to cinematic motion loop. first 0.5s stops the scroll. one client hit 5.1% CTR week one... their highest-performing creative ever) β†’ phase 4, the 4-variation copy stack (loss aversion, authority + specificity, contrarian, identity. 12 ready-to-test ad combinations from one session) β†’ phase 5, 7-day test campaign structure (budget allocation, day 3 signal thresholds, day 7 kill and scale criteria, the 3 highest-probability winners to launch first) all backed by $10M+ generated through Meta ads funnels for service-based businesses (and a legal funding client that we expanded from 8-12 to 40+ creative variations per month using this method... even finding 3 winners that scaled him to $89k/mo within 90 days) like + comment "COOK" and i'll send it over (must be following + RT for priority access)

this OpenClaw bot finds hotels with ugly listing photos, redrafts them as IG posts, and mails the owner a postcard...on autopilot. here's how social-media agencies can use this system and land hotel clients: - scrapes every hotel in a city in real time - filters by review count + rating + last post date + photo quality - pulls the strongest interior shot from the Google Maps listing - samples the brand palette from the hotel's actual visual identity - AI-redrafts the photo into a 1:1 brand-matched Instagram post - writes a postcard quoting a real reviewer + the exact space - mails it to the owner hand-addressed with a preview QR every step from discovery to brand-matching to outreach is automated. reply "HOTEL" + RT and I'll send you a free guide so you can build this too
