I use it personally for cold outreach - specifically list building, enriching, and qualifying.

simplest - email list.

if there is an area you are interested in, start writing weekly.

post it in 5-10 relevant subreddits. post it in 7-15 relevant facebook groups.

daily.

give yourself 6 months to get to 1000 subscribers.

now when you launch something, you have a warm audience.

protip: to grow email faster, niche down. and try to talk individually to each subscriber like you would a friend.

Something is stuck within my body most of the time.

Doing certain movements makes this something flow better.

I feel better when this happens.

Breathing in certain ways enhances this something.

I feel A LOT better when this happens.

Still early, exploring.

I've found a lot of value in using it as a scraper and enrichment agent

I'm using Openclaw + Opus. Several subagents.

However, performance is degraded when using subagents - scraping is less smart, content is worse written, etc.

I'm curious about using different instances instead, but not sure how to use a shared memory foundation effectively.

- it crawls/scrapes to source the material (like this thread).

- dumps it in a sqlite db

- breaks apart raw source into individual use cases

- scores it based on the types of readers I have (solopreneuer, creator etc.)

- creates the template in my CRM, ready to send

I review and edit it at the end.

Still working out kinks, but its been great for:

scrape -> dump -> content/digital product

doing this on both, the supply and distribution side.

We showcase awesome use cases and send you 5 curated one every Tuesday.

A recipe collection from Eastern spiritual traditions.

If you follow certain traditions, there may be a certain way to eat and cook.

This is the start of a collecting them in one place.

If you have any cash saved up, this would be a way to go because:

- cash flow - existing customer base to talk to - product - market fit has happened (hopefully)

You'll get a crash course in everything after the 0 to 1 phase of the business.

And you'll get some energy from talking to customers and building for them.

I was tired of spinning wheels trying to validate ideas.

I have experience working in a commodity business. And I tend to believe most things fall in this category.

You can differentiate yourself based on various factors, but the fact that other solutions exists is a good sign. You don't need to create an entire market to sell your product.

Do your product really well, but don't get hung up on it. Learn and lean into good client service. That will create the most opportunity as you expand.

You are running a business not a product.

'Hate' the player' and 'hate' the game.

Some things shouldn't be part of the market economy - education, health and food.

Rest and Activity go hand-in-hand.

I had sleep issues for 10+ years. I couldn't fall asleep most nights, would wake up tired, couldn't function without severe caffeine, which would lose efficacy over time and cause even more sleep issues and mind-bending headaches.

Sleep issues were just a symptom. It was my life (Activity) that needed fixing.

Look to your life -- if you fix things there, you'll fix your sleep.

If you want to talk further, feel free to reach out on email.

I've only programmed as a hobby, never as a team. I have a semi-baked project that I was hoping someone who's experienced architecting projects could review and provide some blunt feedback. Thank you

Slightly tangential, but what's the thinking here?

We don't want to get it on us while spraying it, but then we'll eat it and it'll be fine?
