This is the workflow I use based on what other successful companies have done:

1. Start by defining an Ideal Customer Profile and be very specific (for examples, Facebook started with Harvard students in certain social circle). A good way to know how to be specific is by using a framework to define your ICP, like this you know if you are collecting the right information or not

2. Once you define your ICP, depending on the framework you are using will have mapped where they usually "hang out" online and offline -> At the beginning prioritse offline more than online. You are doing things that don't scale.

3. Having that information, you then design a way to get in front of them. If you are going the "online" route, then it can be Paid Ads, it can be social media DMs, etc... I only recommend the only route once you know you have the right messaging tested by talking with users that became paying customers.

As a final note: try to get as many users that fit the same ICP as possible at the beginning, you'll want to seem a big fish in a small pond.


This is great.

What about writing also in a more conversational form? I have read that it is one of the main ways to get picked up by LLM chatbots


Yes more conversational will always get picked up by LLM Chatbots. But its important to focus on technicalities of arranging the content within the blog.


A bit of a clickbait title but interesting read. I guess we are still too early to know how GenAI will make things evolve in realm of human intelligence. My bet is that it will actually enhance it that atrophy it.


If you give the LLM the professor's prompt and turn in what it produces, you won't learn anything. If you write your own essay (perhaps using an LLM to find sources) and then go back and forth with an LLM to improve it, LLMs may help you learn.


My bet is that it will have little, if any, effect. No other technology we've produced so far has resulted in an overall increase in intelligence. I'm hard-pressed to come up with a reason why this one would be any different.


This is fantastic. I was looking for something like thi, in particular around ACP.


Really glad it helped, feel free to ask anything on it


It's a shame that it is paying.


Author here. I know - I did have a feeling of guilt applying a price to it but honestly, I've been putting a lot of work into it at the expense of other projects (I do free youtube tutorials too) and was hoping the price would help implicitly identify that.

Is there a specific reason you say it's a shame it has a price?


Is this the right link?


I would be better if it said "the law". As I see "the rules", is more like the status quo, that often, need to be broken
