Added CAPTCHA to Posthero signup.
I hate CAPTCHAs. But 50 bot signups this week broke me.
Merry Xmas.

Building in public to $100K MRR (week 4).
This week reminded me that shipping features matters more than shipping content.
I've been pushing to publish more consistently, but reality had other plans.

Crazy idea:
What if LinkedIn had an AI model that auto-detected:
• Engagement bait posts
• Recycled viral frameworks
• Fake vulnerability content
And just... deranked them?
The feed would actually reward original thinking again.
Quality would beat gaming the algorithm.
Wild concept, I know.

90% of LinkedIn advice will be outdated by 2026.
(here's what actually matters)
Everyone's still talking about the same old tactics:
"Post 3-5 times per week..."
"Comment for 90 minutes daily..."
"Use these 7 hook formulas..."
That worked in 2024.
It's getting crowded in 2025.

My group chat: "why did I think building a SaaS would be easier than this"
Authenticity is a spectrum.

The hardest part of bootstrapping isn't the code or the marketing.
It's convincing yourself you're not insane. Every. Single. Day.

LinkedIn growth hack nobody's talking about:
Use AI to scrape "hiring" posts in your ICP's industry.
Then:
• Auto-qualify leads based on job req details
• Send personalized DMs about solving that exact pain
• Book demos while they're actively building team
They're already in "buy mode".

Building in public to $100K MRR (week 3).
Last week reminded me that platform integrations are never as simple as they look on paper.
We have been working to connect all major social platforms to Posthero.ai so creators can manage their content in one place.

Your AI content is bad because you're using it wrong.
(and everyone can tell)
I see it every day scrolling through LinkedIn:
"Leveraging synergies to..."
"Diving deep into the world of..."
"Let's explore 7 transformative ways to..."
It's painful to read.
It gets zero engagement.

LinkedIn has changed.
And most founders missed the memo.
The old way of posting has been gone for a while now.
If you don't understand engagement algorithms...
And how content distribution actually works in 2025 (and will work in 2026), you're already behind.

Building a personal brand in 2026 is not the same as it was in 2023.
(and most people are still playing by old rules)
Two years ago you could:
Post 3x per week → get decent reach
Share generic advice → still get engagement
Show up inconsistently → people would wait
That playbook is dead.

2 weeks ago my client's content generated 187k views.
But here's what matters more:
877 leads came through.
60 of them were sales-qualified.
All inbound. All from content.
(this happened in just 7 days)
Now everyone asks me "what's your secret tactic?"
Wrong question.

Made an accidental stop at a roadside shop with this view… ended up shipping a new Posthero feature. Remote work + Bali = unbeatable.

When I started building AI tool for content, everyone had different advice.
"Use this framework"
"Follow that growth strategy"
"Copy what [successful founder] does"
It only confused me more.
The breakthrough came when I realized:
What works for someone else's audience won't work for mine.

LinkedIn personas are getting weird.
Everyone's a "thought leader" with the same:
• Hustle stories
• Fake vulnerability
• Corporate buzzwords
The founders who actually grow?
They just sound like humans.
