    MARKETING 
    A lot of you are overthinking things. No need for a big "launch". Just let people know what you're doing or thinking of doing, and ask if they know anyone who'd be interested.

    A platforms that bring gamers to indie game developers (for feedback, ideas, ect)

    IDEA 
    I also wonder if there's communities on X for gaming? I don't use X but there's big communities around SaaS and "build in public". When I say community, I don't mean a group or anything like that. Just that people who read and/or write a lot about a particular topic often just see that...

    Aha... Here's that video: View: https://youtu.be/9r0qPeSJGog?si=60GPKKdOLFmPgEI6 I asked Gemini: In the video you linked (which is likely a tutorial on Discord server discovery or OSINT techniques), "this guy" is almost certainly using a combination of Discord listing sites, search engines...

    A platforms that bring gamers to indie game developers (for feedback, ideas, ect)

    IDEA 
    Lots of gamers use Discord for specific games. I know that Roblox games often have a Discord server dedicated to that game where people can discuss strategies, arrange games, and also ask for fixes etc. Maybe just create a Discord server to discuss games and focus on getting it known? Or...

    To Market, or not to Market

    MARKETING 
    I prefer not to use the word "launch". It makes it seem unnecessarily big and scary. How about just letting people know what you're doing or thinking of doing, and asking if they know anyone who'd be interested? I've done that multiple times and send people to a Google Form where I collect...

    Aidan's Big A** Progress Thread

    MARKETING EXECUTION STORY 
    Just make sure there's a payment in sight and it hits your account at some point, or you do it for free with your eyes wide open. Plenty of people have been burned by working for free for people they look up to for the promise of more business at a later date.

    The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Random Chat Thread...

    CHAT - AI - 
    I had the same experience cancelling Google Workspace on two incorrect emails addresses. It was an automated chatbot that took me through the steps. My thinking is that getting a refund doesn't really need human input, which frees up humans to do more creative and helpful activities.

    I wouldn't dismiss it so fast. You already have skills, knowledge, and experience that people pay for. What consulting could you do that would be interesting that makes use of a lot of what you already have (including your reputation and network)? I'm not saying to not launch your book, just...

    HOT! BOOKS EXECUTION 
    I've never published a book. @Fox, @MTF, and obviously @MJ DeMarco have. Can you drip out content from the book and post to all the places? See where you get the most traction and double down there? Is your main goal to make book sales, or is it some form of lead magnet? Can you give it...

    What a timesaver for my book-keeper/accountant. I uploaded PDFs of 12 months of credit card statements to Gemini and asked it to put the transactions into a table with headlines of Date (dd-mmm-yy), Description, Debit, Credit And it just does it! At the end it even gives the option to export...

    I think he's using AI to format it, or maybe even construct an answer, and he's checking it and maybe tweaking before posting. I think that's a genius way of training and tweaking our AI so it gets better, while also providing a service.
