new to bluesky? just wrote the guide i wish i had: - why 20M people are here - what actually works - how to find your people - the secret sauce (custom feeds!) - starter packs that don't suck 👉 il.ly/tech/bluesky ps: yes, you can build bots. yes, the API works. no, there's no ads. wild, right?

The funny thing about having a brand built on "roasting" people is that friends expect you to be mean in real life The old profile picture didn't help, so here is a new one:

🤑 The easiest satisfying SaaS pricing hack: 👉 Charge $5/week instead of $20/month Same price, right...? Nope: - 52 weeks × $5 = $260/year - 12 months × $20 = $240/year - That's an extra $20/user/year At 50k users, you just made an extra $1M/year 🧠

Should websites even have landing pages anymore?

as the amount of vibe code in production increases, so does the number of bugs and, therefore, the number of outages smh

My most "clever" code is the one I always end up deleting later.

💡 AI SEO tip: If your pricing is in an interactive slider, AI can't read it ChatGPT, Perplexity, SearchGPT only see static HTML/text Use our Page Inspector to find these gaps: aiseotracker.com/page-inspector

🎯 Cold email hack: - Reference a specific article they wrote - Not just "I liked your blog" - Quote an insight, add a thought, show you actually read it! Our AI Email Writer does this automatically: aiseotracker.com/email-writer

Blitz SEO : 1. Pick One Page: Focus on a single high-potential page 2. Make One Change: Tweak the title, add a comparison table, improve an image 3. Force Re-index: Use Google Search Console to request indexing 4. Wait 7 Days: Track the ranking change 5. If it went up, keep it. If it went down, back

Stop begging for backlinks! Start trading for them. The playbook 👇 1. Write your own definitive "Best [X] Tools" listicle 2. Feature your top competitors and give them a fair, honest review 3. Reach out to them and say: "I added you in my new 'Best of' list. Can you ad us"

I told the truth x.com/illyism/sta...

Always solve a problem you have yourself. Your first and most passionate user will be you

Stop trying to go viral. Start trying to be undeniably useful to a small, specific group of people

Your first version should be slightly embarrassing. If you're proud of it, you launched too late

Build free tools, not just blog posts. Give away value and the users will come to you

The best SEO strategy is to create the content that people are actually searching for. It's that simple

Stop buying ads. Spend that time talking to your first 10 customers instead.

Don't sell a product, sell a transformation. What will your customer's life look like after they use it?

Your marketing is useless if your product isn't solving a real problem

You don't need more time. You need more focus. A 2-hour deep work session is worth more than an 8-hour distracted day. I could probably just work from 6am to 1pm and chill the rest of the day.
