about three years since we first launched @AudionotesApp as a simple web app built on no code with no clue of who our customer was or what the use cases might be, just an idea that open ai whisper is a great transcription model since then, building audionotes has been more like getting an mba from a top tier b school in product, tech and marketing the product has now evolved to a dependable cross platform note taking app that works flawlessly, is high on features but still very simple to use one question that people ask me is - are you not bored (given that we build so many products)? not really, a product is never complete and the ability to drive user delight is just an incredible experience screenshot from last week when a user reached out angrily for a few product requests we spoke to the user, fixed issues, shipped a couple of tiny features and finally closed the loop only to find that they organically gave us a shoutout on LinkedIn - still find it pretty cool :)

airlearn has 582 accounts, 117k videos, 893m views on tiktok 🤯 but why so many accounts? lemme break down tiktok marketing for you there are 4 ways to market on tiktok 1. brand accounts and IPs > you create your "airlearn" brand account and post content to drive brand narratives et all > you can also do something super crazy like duolingo where they have a genuinely cool ip on tiktok 2. influencer marketing > you pay influencers and push out your content via their distribution > the key here is that you work with influencers who may have an overlapping audience with your product 3. ugc marketing > you spin up tons of accounts that post seemingly non-production heavy content for you that feels like organic user generated content > for instance, i create an account vatsal.audionotes where i post about productivity/note-taking and would often plug audionotes but remember that this is not an official brand account > you spin a lot of such accounts and try to latch on to tiktoks algo by trying to increase your surface area to go viral 4. spark ads > you can use any working content piece and run tiktok spark ads all of this boils down to > your cost per video > the views that you get > so if you do 40 videos/mo that lead to 200K views, your ugc cpm (cost per 1000 views) comes down to $5 > now since tiktok's algo can push any piece of content, you increase your surface area by creating more such accounts (and hiring more creators or doing ai ugc) most people can create content but knowing whats working and what your competitors are doing is the holy grail of ugc marketing our ugc agent goes live next week > 1000 apps across consumer ai, crupto, gaming and b2b > millions of videos > unparalleled intelligence dm for early access

It because I'd just send her a crying emoji and a screenshot of a line that eviscerated me emotionally, and I'd send over audionotes of me crying because it hurt so bad but so well. Deastar laced that fic with sth because "I love it" is too shallow for what I feel about that fic

how to acquire your first 100 users if you’re building solo? in all likelihood, it’s gonna be hard and you’re gonna fail at it bc you’ll most likely give up but for the ones who don’t, the playbook is simple be very clear on your user persona If you’re building a note taking app, who is it for? students? professionals? apple notes users? notion fan boys? who exactly? if you’re building a reels maker, who is it for? ecom brands, agencies, indie hackers, funded startups, creators go as deep as you can but do not start marketing without answering this once you know who you’re supposedly building for - understand the pain problem you’re solving for them a note taking app will make note taking better but for a student - it’ll help them capture lectures or for a business owner - it’ll help them capture client/vendor meetings …. channels, outreach, bla bla - everything is useless without this do not start if you’re not sure about this the first 100 customers or users will essentially help you - validate your hypothesis - improve your product - fine tune your value proposition and improve your communication for instance, in case of Audionotes as dumb as it may sound, one of the biggest winning content piece was “3 years working from home and I wish I had this app” as it somehow worked well with professionals who took a lot of meetings but hated taking notes and also did not want to use a bot we would have never thought about this had we not gone deep into understanding our users and their potential problems now, that you know who you’re gonna target - pick one or two channels and be consistent around them but with a proper plan - channels - x, LinkedIn, Reddit, cold outreach, Instagram, tiktok… - and the channel can be organic or paid now, which one(s) to select? - the ones where your product can be relevant and where you can be consistent for 30 days let’s say it’s Twitter and you’re trying to sell your note taking app - you need to understand if your target audience spend time here - if you wanna do organic or paid paid is faster and organic is slower finding a relevant influencer or running ads here would be paid and posting on your own and using the algorithm to push your product would be organic any channel is fine depending on your budget and the time you are okay to spend in acquiring these customers for instance, replying to relevant posts on reddit maybe a great strategy but may take months to get you any users as the process involves building karma > posting in a non obvious way > waiting for the correct post to reply to and so on a twitter organic strategy would mean you posting about productivity and note taking or maybe just building in public so that the algo shows your posts to people interested in this niche you can ofc go viral doing any of the above but the chances are very very low so assume you won’t and then create a plan cold outreach might involve sending dms on x (might not want to do this for a note taking app but who knows if I want to do b2b) a tweet here or there or a random reddit reply won’t yield any results tiktok ugc may not work if you don’t have multiple accounts and if you don’t post for a decent enough time a organic social media channel approach would only work if you’re able to train the algo to push your content to the right set of people you can do hack stuff like creating an account on hinge and pushing your app via chat for a dating profile optimiser (if you don’t get blocked) there are tons of ways but all of them require effort and consistency or money but with good clarity on your user persona and value prop don’t rely on luck - going viral happens very rarely but consistency with a plan always leads to something good luck acquiring your first users :)

built a fully functional tiktok research tracking tool for @AudionotesApp tiktok marketing helps us - know what and how competitors are doing on tikok - track our own accounts what does it do? - tracks accounts, gets account metrics, gets all the videos and tracks videos that cross 5k views for 30 days - downloads viral carousels - tracks our accounts - populates historic data for any newly added accounts - runs daily - sends viral videos to our in-house content replication tool that can replicate the viral content piece with a single click at present, we are tracking 130 accounts across 25 competitors with over 3.8k viral videos in our db (and a total of 18k videos in our library) would have costed us $200/mo if we were to use an existing tool we couldn't customise it to our liking super fun to grow audionotes with our automated marketing engine that is already delivering us thousands of views daily - at almost zero cost

We recently rebuilt Audionotes web with a similar approach If interested, you can read more here

anyone here who's bored and wants to help test out our new web version of audionotes?

Built an automated marketing → product → revenue reporting dashboard for @AudionotesApp using Claude Code in ~3 hours. One of my biggest challenges as a founder is getting a single, end-to-end view of the funnel: Traffic → Signups → Installs → Usage → Paid conversion But since Audionotes is cross-platform, the data is scattered everywhere: - Web traffic: GA4 Google Search Console - Installs: App Store Connect Google Play Console - Revenue (web): Stripe / Lemon Squeezy - Revenue (app): RevenueCat - Users product usage: Supabase (signups, notes created, device/type splits, etc.) Manually aggregating all of this was painful - and I couldn’t find a reasonably priced tool that handled ALL these sources cleanly. So I built my own - Pulls data from GA4, GSC, Stripe, RevenueCat, Supabase - Runs on a daily cron - Stores everything in a single table - Dashboard auto-updates (hosted on Vercel) PS: It took me a while to master my Claude Code workflow, but once it clicks… it’s honestly insane.
