this thread will teach you how to build a product, validate the idea & distribute it…

it covers:
> product types
> validating your idea
> how to build saas for free even if you can't code
> taking payments
> distribution channels & alternate channels
> selling directly to cold traffic vs. adding a second layer

unfold the thread to begin reading 🧵 i wanna preface with the fact that i have only ever sold digital products such as info, saas, services, etc. hence why i will not discuss anything else…

i also happen to be a diehard organic guy, so i will not cover paid traffic in this guide for obvious reasons

unfortunately, like the rest of us, i am limited by my own experiences & i’m sure there are better ways of going about the things covered…

with that being said though, you can be sure that what i have to say works as it has helped me make what i’d consider a significant amount of money in my 22 years on this earth

here's how i'd go from $0 to $10k/month in 5 steps (if i had $0 to invest)

a thread 🧵 step #1: pick a profitable insecurity that you know how to solve

for example:
> obesity
> lack of athleticism
> dating struggles
> skincare issues

choose one that you have knowledge in

if i was starting over, here's how i'd use AI to make money (a thread 🧵) the first thing i'd do is find a niche in which:

- money is flowing (e.g. saas, ecom, infoproducts, yt automation)
- problems exist that i believe are solvable by AI

ideally you'll already have some sort of niche-specific expertise, but i'm assuming a lot of you don't - in that case you've got to start digging & uncover where the money is being made

& don't take gurus word for it, they'll tell you what they want you to believe

instead - follow the money...

what are creators selling? which ads are perfoming well?

imagine a world where AI knew every little detail about your business, your marketing strategies, your ICP, your brand voice, etc.

you can make this reality with context profiles...

simply grab a context profile template, fill it out & inject the file into your GPT project or send it alongside your prompt whenever needed

i built 8 context profile templates for you to fill out & reuse:

- business context profile
- brand voice profile
- marketing strategy profile
- ICP profile
- content strategy profile
- product roadmap profile
- audience psychographic profile
- youtube scriptwriting profile

simply send them either to ChatGPT or the @aifrontrunners context profile generator & fill out each value with either a brain dump, or one by one entry

everyone talks about how to go viral on youtube

but nobody talks about this SECRET metric that the algorithm favors which the analytics DO NOT show you...

🧵EXPAND THE THREAD🧵 we all know the general metrics that the algorithm relies on to measure the quality of your video:

- click-through rate
- viewer retention
- watch time
