incredibly well condensed playbook for $100m ARR 👏

how to get it right 👇

  1. build a product x10 better than competition

  2. become ultra-discoverable -> work your SEO

  3. product education is never enough

  4. marketing is not math - you don't have to measure everything

  5. your brand is you

Ya'll are SLEEPING on simplicity.

This guy built a $25K/month saas around one simple concept: a countdown timer.

Not by chasing AI trends, but by obsessing over a single painful problem.

The truth?

PAIN POINTS > FEATURES.

If a timer app can do $25K/month, maybe the problem isn’t how many features you have.

A founder who sold his company for $52M posts his dream home. beautiful, thoughtful, clearly personal.

half comments are love, half are critical.

2 types of people on the internet:

  1. inspiration -“this is the dream. back to building.”
  2. cynicism - “what’s wrong with it?”

I Got a wave of new haters because I’m “promoting” Rork.

Imagine you got paid to promote MacBooks.

Something you use everyday.
Wouldn’t you take that deal?

I’m actually addicted to using Rork

All of my apps only support IOS
Because I coded them on Xcode

I’ve missed out on $100,000+ in Android revenue because of it.

backlinks are the most misunderstood part of SEO

most businesses either:
• over-optimize them
• buy garbage links at scale
• or use backlinks to compensate for weak content

that’s how backlinks turn from an asset into a liability

backlinks actually work when they come from:
• authoritative sites
• relevant niches
• contextual editorial placements

one solid link from a site Google already trusts beats hundreds of random directory or pbn links. especially for newer sites, links from frequently...

Am I right in figuring that everyone who's selling Agents is doing so in a one-off kinda pricing model?

I build it, deploy it, you use it.

it's $10k.

is this the return of one time pricing software?

What happened to aAAs?

if you're scared your clients find out you're using AI, listen to this...

to make it short: nobody cares

here's what clients care about:

did you fix their problems
did you deliver when you said you would
did you make them more money than they paid you

that's it

you could be using AI, offshore developers, carrier pigeons for all they care

as long as it's legal and they get results

using AI signals you're resourceful with their budget... not wasteful

no need to hide your systems like ...

Here's the secret.

Your idea doesn’t need to be genius.

It just needs to be seen.

Take a few days off before the new year and really think about that.

Imagine going into 2026 with a diabolical plan for distribution.

Or maybe even just spending 50% of your time on it.

I know this isn't controversial.

But I know most people that watch Starter Story would rather build a feature than create a piece of content.

(including myself)

Gotta rip off the bandaid. 2026 is the year of distribution.

if you're non-technical but want the best LLM experience...

just use claude

if you're technical -> you can go model agnostic

but if you just want to open a website and get great outputs... claude is the only real option right now

because it has everything built into the webapp:
