How is this logical?

Hey everyone I am a bit frustrated and I must ask for a directions. So I've been losing a lot of sleep for the past 2 years trying to learn new things, get better and create something valuable and I am still into nothing, circling around.

I sent 90,000 cold emails last few months, closed 54 clients, it was pain in the a*s, I couldn't sleep for weeks, getting on calls, closing the clients, making better offers, learning about creating websites, etc...

A few months before that I scaled a vibe coded web app to almost $7k MRR and then I lost majority of those users because the market got flooded by vibe coded apps and someone even uploaded open source version for free.

Tried with running a blog, tried bringing traffic through Pinterest (10 mil monthly impressions) but very low clicks on the link.

And I saw 2 people on Upwork and I lost my mind. They are working for a SEO agency and their only job is writing the articles. They don't have an expertise in anything, they work 40 hours per week and they get paid $10/hour. They are working according to a script, 0 creativity and they don't work on %. They just need to deliver AI written blogs that are SEO optimized.

I have 6+ years of SEO experience but 0 jobs on Upwork, everything was only outside from that platform and I still can't land a single job so I can finance my projects.

So I brought real people, converted that people into money, made everything from 0 and failed and I am still working more than them making less money.

P.S: I also tried to reach companies/clients that I would find on Upwork so I can work for them but everyone declined, my previous success is obviously not visible. I also applied to a bunch of jobs on Linkedin and I have reached to many marketing agencies but still nothing.

I really need some advice, thank you everyone.

Hey there everyone, I used to sell AI built websites through cold emailing, closed 54 clients from 90k cold emails and then I started doing something else. Now I am thinking of getting back on track because I discovered a tool where you just paste the link from the website and it clones the whole website 1:1, including the animations, etc...

Now the thing is that I was charging $900 - $1800 per website but the websites were built in lovable so they were basically an AI slop.

My idea is to rebrand an enterprise landing page and sell that to small business owners.

The question is: Is all of this legal?

Hey there it’s me again, the guy that was selling AI websites through cold emailing.

I closed 54 clients but to be honest the website creation niche is over saturate, everyone does it, the competition is high and it’s basically a race to the bottom. So I gave up building websites because I burned out too fast and I need a lot of energy for that.

I always wanted to create a web app, find at least 50 people to pay me $50/month. The reality is that everyone is building apps nowadays and the only problem is that people can’t sell anything. I tried making a SEO web app using the API from DataForSEO, found 3 users but got kinda exposed because they found out it was just a wrapper, so 2 of them refunded.

I tried finding clients where the plan was to find them users for their already established products, apparently the price for my service was too high so everyone declined (20 people in total, the service price was 3 months x $3000 and after the 3rd month I will only work on %).

After that I tried applying for SEO roles on Upwork and iGaming platforms. For those that don’t know, I have +6 years of experience in SEO but I have switched many roles and I always try new things. Obviously I didn’t land a single job yet.

5 months ago I created an app, vibe coded it in lovable and I managed to get to $6800 MRR and then many similar tools came out, they started getting popular and I lost majority of the users.

Now my questions is, what do I do now and what’s the next step.

Hello everyone, my name is add and I will be as short as possible.

A few months ago I started selling AI websites, long story short I sent 90k cold emails and closed 54 clients. The problem is that the website selling niche is very saturated and it’s hard to scale because of finding new clients every month.

So, I made a SEO tool that is really similar to Semrush and Ahrefs but for way cheaper, only $50/month.

My goal is to contact people in the SEO niche and present them my tool, obviously I will need 400 users which realistically it’s possible and the tool will help them scale their websites or their customers websites.

For finding emails I used fonatica, also apollo, hunter or lemlist are also ok. The only problem is making sure your list is clean and lower the bounce rate. I use gmail accounts but now I will also add domain emails. For sending emails I use instantly ai.

Wish me luck everyone and stay tuned.

Hey everyone, it’s me again, the guy that closed 54 clients from 90k cold emails selling websites.

This time is a bit different, I made a SEO tool that is using the API from Semrush and it’s making it cheaper with more features, priced at $50/month.

Now my goal is finding potential customers that might use my web app. My plan is targeting people that own agencies or that are in the SEO niche as freelancers. For that I will use linkedin sales navigator and fonatica for email lead generation.

My email template will be generic since I will be offering everyone the same product and for emails I will use 30 warmed up gmail accounts. The goal is sending 10-20 emails per gmail account per day.

I have to mention that every gmail account comes with fake linkedin profile with the same name as the gmail account, so if someone wants to find me or look me up they can find me on linkedin.

Stay tuned for updates.
