i'm paying $30 for every 150-300 images of a location

paid an influencer a good amt of $ for 1 tweet + 1 linkedin post and can say it was successful, super nice guy too

added a little over $1.5k in mrr and made the $ back in the same day

definitely got to go deeper into marketing

you have $25,000

you're a b2b saas business at $32k mrr and you want to get to $80k mrr

all of your current customers have been acquired organically through your x/twitter personal brand

how would you spend the $25,000 to get more customers?
/Founders
new hobby acquired
87% profit margins, $32.5k mrr, 38% churn (need to fix), 98 days in

all organic reach, spent $100 to boost a tweet, lots more engagement but didnt track conversions, need to probably spend $1000 to see a difference

new slideshow feature coming along well

wanna be more open about the business side here on fc, dont wanna talk about it much on twitter, different audiences

i'd like a business coach

someone who's gone through the ringer a few times and is interested in guiding me

i'm approaching mid 5-figure mrr, saas business, just me, no employees, bootstrapped

here's a situation i'm in and don't know what to do:

larger $1-5m arr competitor sees what i'm doing and steals my videos and product to a T, i call him out in DMs and he tries to spin it around saying he had it for a year and i stole it from him (not true)

he continues to use my videos and product to promote his own business

i don't know what i don't know and would love someone to talk to someone who knows what to do

not sure if it's part of the game, if there's anything legal i can do, etc

either way, with this situation or others, would love to talk to someone who has more experience than i do
/Founders
my unsolicited 2 cents is that farcaster feels and is a tight nit community, rather than a network

that's a good thing, but also a bad thing for the network? maybe?

every time i open up warpcast, every cast is either referencing some new "iykyk" meta, or about crypto

and as someone who isnt as interested in crypto as i used to be, i use fc less, because fc casts are very crypto/meta heavy, and if you dont know the meta, you're out of the loop

if i had to ask Dan one question, it would be if he see's this as a positive or a negative, does Dan want casts to very crypto centric or more broad/different topics?
yall im freaking the fuck out

there's a guy that copied reelfarm to a T and is being cocky passing it off as his own work, blatantly copied EVERYTHING about reelfarm, and when i say everything, i mean everything

the worst part is he's going viral on twitter too

what the hell do i even do in this situation
does anybody have the AppleColorEmoji.ttf font file compatible for a linux env?

everything i try is failing, always getting "invalid pixel format" and so far it looks like apple emojis are just not compatible with windows/linux environment

if it helps, im specifically trying to add text (with emoji) onto a video using libass/ffmpeg

if you have been down this rabbit hole before and know how to do this, please help lol

interested in contracting ai dev work

work:
- looking for consistent character generation from 1 single image

requirements:
- input "image_url" and "prompt" and output a new image
- cannot be local, must be on a server (api)

even if you can point me in the general direction that would be 10/10
i used to pray for times like this, $10k mrr in 35 days

i'm probably naive, but i'm very interested in creating my own img-to-video model for reelfarm

if you have made a img-to-video model before, and know the process, i would be interested in working with you

please dm me if this is you, or tag somebody or resources that may help me get closer to this
hi fc ppl sry i havent been on here in like weeks, being on x/twitter is getting me customers so ive been focusing my attention there sry ily xoxo
nikita bier's "explode" app is textbook for growth hacking

1) made imessage app (increases viral coefficient by making the core feature "share with friends")

2) uses app clips (increases top-of-mind awareness on lock screen)

3) haptics (makes app feel good, good use of phone vibration)

4) onboarding flow ensures user adds "explode" to top of imessage apps, before using app (increases stickyness)

5) onboarding flow requires user to send text to friend, then says "send 2 more texts for 1 month free" (increases viral coefficient)

6) abstraction of $7.99/mo payment (increases conversions by decoupling pain of payment with pleasure of the app)

ai ugc creators never sleep, never miss deadlines, pump out 500 vids an hour and cost less than your morning coffee

aint gon' lie... ive been hesitating posting the tiktok videos that ReelFarm can make bc i dont know how to "automatically" create the demo video part of the tiktok

right now, the demo video must be created by the user, but the hook is generated by reelfarm

as someone who already knows how to shoot & edit, its easy, but i dont know how to sell this to someone who doesnt know how to record a tiktok-focused demo video about their product/app etc

maybe in the subscription i create 2 10 second product demo videos for their app/product? for them to use for these videos, what do u think
