Many FAILED projects. Last one is taking off at $3,996 ARR

Past failures:

They were small niche products e.g a couple of them were about a year ago

  • HairSwap AI
  • Bald AI filter
  • Interior AI
  • Similar apps had success but I haven't figured out paid advertising yet. so i failed with them

Why this one worked:

SocialClaw is a social media scheduler, like Hootsuite etc, but I made it so that it connects to AI agents such as Claude or Openclaw.

then people just tell Claude "hey post this to my X""schedule these 100 videos for me" etc without even accessing my website anymore.

I believe that is what people are paying for and makes me a bit different.

--

whatever you're building, agentic tools seem to be the future. let your SaaS be used via MCP, CLI, Agent Skills, or API.

People want to do stuff right within their AI agent.

Here's how to do ORGANIC marketing for your SaaS

"but organic marketing is tuff"

Here's how to create 2 months worth of content in half a day:

  1. Create a TikTok/Youtube Shorts account
  2. Pay a UGC girl to give you 30-40 3s reaction clips.
  3. Record a video of your screen showing how the app works, cut it shortly to 1-2s clips.
  4. Organize all of these footage files into folders.
  5. Ask Claude/Codex to overlay text over the UGC clips and automatically stitch a random reaction + the screen recording of your app.
  6. -- Do something like "This website feels ILEGAL". with a surprised reaction of the UGC girl.
  7. Generate 100's of random combinations / different caption variations.
  8. Ask claude/codex to use socialclaw skill npx skills add ndesv21/socialclaw and link your social media accounts. Tell it to schedule 2x posts a day for each account.
  9. Be patient. You won't go viral in a week. Accept most posts will flop. But keep an eye on ones that get ~1,000 views. Improve on them.
  10. If you find something that can be done better delete all scheduled ones and regenerate better ones.
  11. DO NOT USE AI content. You can generate caption ideas, but use only original footage. TikTok/Youtube can detect it.
  12. Yes you can still go viral with AI content, but it seems most are just funny videos and stuff.
  13. Use AI only to help your process.

After vibe coding the MVP, redesigned my SaaS

The first version of the website looked much different than what it is (worse).

I let Claude & Codex design the dashboard and landing page even though I'm a designer

got a few sales but I thought it was time to invest time in a proper design if I wanted to grow

  • I design in Figma first. Don't try to code on the fly, it doesn't come out as great.
    • You lose time by prompting, waiting 2 min, then seeing the result.
    • Just dedicate a few hours to design a page
  • I export all assets (png/jpg/svg or videos).
  • Then I just describe the concept in general and some design details that are missed easily, then point Claude to the folder of the exported assets

I feel that a year ago it was important just to ship fast, get the site out there.

I believe we might be seeing a comeback of properly designed sites, people seem more sceptical of obvious vibe coded themes.

A customer looks at the purple gradient or the soft beige tone Claude usually does and thinks you spent an afternoon on the whole thing (even though it might take you weeks), and won't pay the $20 subscription.

P.S: re-launching on PH next Tuesday, drop by the launch page then for a discount code!

Scam Alert. It only takes 1 day for someone to copy you

I posted a guide on reddit weeks ago on how to do iOS app marketing, and showcased my product doing that automatically later on a post yesterday.

Today I see a comment copying my exact guide and replicating my product.
https://www.reddit.com/user/Medium-University219/

I get it, products get copied, but copying my words? Shame on you. UGCBundle is a scam.

Going viral isn't random. Stick to a good format

I constantly see accounts like this promoting their SaaS or just influencers getting paid to promote something.

Basically:

  • 100x UGC Reactions
  • +
  • App Screen Recording

I have a few apps/saas and literally do the same thing on social media. This is how I used to do it earlier:

  1. Create a TikTok/Youtube Shorts account
  2. Pay a UGC actor to give you 30-40 3s reaction clips.
  3. Record a video of your screen showing how the app works, cut it shortly to 1-2s clips.
  4. Organize all of these footage files into folders.
  5. Ask Claude/Codex to overlay text over the UGC clips and automatically stitch a random reaction + the screen recording of your app.
  6. -- Do something like "This website feels ILEGAL". with a surprised reaction of the UGC girl.
  7. Generate 100's of random combinations / different caption variations.
  8. Ask claude/codex to use socialclaw skill npx skills add ndesv21/socialclaw and link your social media accounts. Tell it to schedule 2x posts a day for each account.
  9. Be patient. You won't go viral in a week. Accept most posts will flop. But keep an eye on ones that get ~1,000 views. Improve on them.
  10. If you find something that can be done better delete all scheduled ones and regenerate better ones.
  11. DO NOT USE AI content. You can generate caption ideas, but use only original footage. TikTok/Youtube can detect it.
  12. Yes you can still go viral with AI content, but it seems most are just funny videos and stuff.
  13. Use AI only to help your process.

Recently I made an update to SocialClaw where I skipped step 1-7 by automating all that. It's still UGC footage, no AI.
https://getsocialclaw.com/viral-video-generator

I've added like ~100 clip reactions that are available for use.

You can do a video for free, no need to subscribe or anything

Will be bringing more formats to let users promote their apps, this one is doing great on socials right now though.

u/No-Grand3283 — 6 days ago

Send me a screen-recording of your APP! I will create a free TikTok video for you

Like the title says, send me either

  1. A few screenshots of your app
  2. Or a short screen recording 5-20 seconds

showing the best parts

Don't add captions, I'll add them

DM me the screenshot/recording, comment something in case I forget

I'll send you a free tiktok organic looking video you can use for your app within the next 24hrs

I built a tool so you can promote your own SaaS

I built a tool where you can:

1. upload a screen recording or a few screenshots of your app

  1. Hit generate

  2. Done!!

That's it! You don't even need to prompt it

  • It attaches a REAL UGC reaction to the post.
  • It adds captions automatically
  • It can vizualize your photos/videos, you don't need to explain whats in the photo or video

Try here and please give me feedback: https://getsocialclaw.com/viral-video-generator
--

It's free to use (limited) just while in beta. no subscription. I'll later add a watermark to the exports.

Only one format for video and one for photo slides for now. More formats and UGC creators coming later if this receives demand!

--

Q: How many formats does this support?
-- Only 2 for now. It's based on viral formats already working on TikTok / Instagram.

Q: Will this make me go viral?
-- Not guaranteed. That's not what this is. I post 200 videos like these across accounts. Most get 400-6000 views. Sometimes 20K-100K and on rare cases more than that.

Q: Are the UGC creators real? Am I allowed to post them for my app?
-- Yes, and yes. The UGC clips used here are permitted to be used in videos related to apps/saas/websites and similar. Not allowed to be used for 18+ content.

Q: I'm a UGC creator. Can I sell my videos?
-- Yes, DM me!

THIS is how to do TIKTOK MARKETING for your iOS Apps

been posting and getting quite some support on my guides on growing socials, but a lot of people asked me how to do the videos I showed in my examples.

I used to do this manually on my local setup, so now I turned into a web page where anyone can generate viral worthy TikTok videos.

so here it is

I built a tool where you can:

1. upload a screen recording or a few screenshots of your app

  1. Hit generate

  2. Done!!

That's it! You don't even need to prompt it

  • It attaches a REAL UGC reaction to the post.
  • It adds captions automatically

Do frontend/coding "on demand" services exist?

we launched our product a while back (an ai app builder) with moderate success. landing page looks great, got up to #7th a day in PH

the thing is our main pages look nice, but the rest do feel vibe coded to anyone who has given me feedback

I did the frontend of the main pages so they could look nice but it takes quite a bit if you're basing it off of actual designs. we used one of these design subscription agencies for a month or so.

so those pages I did off of figma look great but my time is probably better spent on the product (we do have our own AI coding agent)

wondering if there are any on demand/retainer frontend services, so we don't have to hire someone as a full time front end (as an early stage startup)

(looking on freelancing sites but its taking me a bit)

I built an MCP server that lets Claude schedule & publish to 11 social platforms

i don't open or schedule my videos/slideshows to socials anymore. i talk to claude, and it schedules and publishes everything for me

the setup:

  • connect your accounts once (x, tiktok, instagram, youtube, linkedin, pinterest, reddit, facebook, , discord, telegram)
  • then just tell claude what you want in plain english

like i'll literally say "schedule these 30 captions across the next 2 weeks, 2 a day, spread out in the afternoon" and it does it.

or "upload these images and post the slideshow tomorrow at a random time."

  • you can batch a month of content and walk away.
  • it's hosted, you connect accounts in a dashboard, claude just talks to it.

a tip if you try it: when you're doing image slideshows, make the photos 1080x1920 or tiktok might reject. learned that the annoying way.

to add it in claude (works in desktop/cursor too):
claude mcp add socialclaw -- npx -y socialclaw@latest mcp

still figuring out the best formats, but the "describe it once, let the agent run it" part genuinely saves time.

I made a CLI for Social Media

Hi all,

I build my own iOS apps, do organic content and schedule posts to social media, all on my own.

But it was boring having to go to a website and manually fill out fields to schedule posts after doing crazy productive work sessions with claude.

so I made this where I can use it as a CLI tool.

  • I connect my accounts once
  • I can have claude CLI use my CLI tool so it schedules for me etc

you can install it via sudo npm install -g socialclaw

or npx skills add ndesv21/socialclaw

Social Scheduling plugin in Slack. Need testers [not released yet]

Hi all,

I'm developing a Slack app, where you can post, schedule and automate work flows with our AI agent.

You can do things like:

  • Upload files in Slack and tell our app to post it to Linkedin / Instagram / TikTok for you.
  • Generate captions from images
  • Manage all your socials right within Slack.
  • Ask our AI questions just by tagging it @[[socialclaw]]

If you use Slack, please become one of our first testers.

Just login in, connect socials once the plugin is installed, and DM me your email so I can upgrade your account for free (no payment needed, I'll gift you a plan afterwards).

Here's the shareable URL for the not released yet Slack app, feel free to DM my any feedback:
Add to Slack

Rate my App Store Screenshots 0 - 10

Posting my iOS app to App Store, it's a mobile version of the existing web platform.

Anything I could improve here before I submit?

More importantly, are the AI assistant features visible/clear enough?

Thank you!
