Here, have some jet fuel

Your newsletter, now exiting the stratosphere.

We’re beehiiv, the newsletter platform built for builders. Every product we drop and feature we create is made with one goal in mind: exponential growth. 

Our three founders left Morning Brew to bring the tools and tech to creators everywhere that helped turn their old company into a multi-million dollar operation. So when we say we can take you from “up-and-comer” to household name, we mean it.

If you need a beautiful destination for your content, use our no-code website builder. If you want paid subs, we don’t take a dime. If you want big name sponsors, we connect you with the likes of Nike and Netflix. 

In short: maybe your newsletter is stuck on the ground floor because your newsletter platform is stuck in the last decade. 

Level up and get started for free with beehiiv. 

Wins

1. I had some good viral posts on X and LinkedIn last week.

2. I was good at consistently creating new content on X and LinkedIn.

3. I was a bit more consistent on posting on TechnoBizzVault’s IG.

4. I spent some time working on my personal finance.

5. I helped get my work done ASAP even though he was on leave.

6. My client is getting good subscriber growth from his LinkedIn account.

7. I might have to work on an additional project for my client, which I’m looking forward to.

8. I was consistent in walking, but I still have to create a proper weight training schedule.

9. I had a lot of fun trying ChatGPT 4o image generation, and that post performed well on LinkedIn too.

10. The new email newsletter format is working well on TechnoBizzVault, and I hope it keeps working well.

Fails

1. TechnoBizzVault’s IG page isn’t getting much engagement, so I might keep experimenting with better strategies to create content.

2. A good post of my client that had high potential to get a high number of subscribers could really not get us a lot of subscribers.

3. I had some days of irregular sleep because of high caffeine intake.

4. I was not very consistent with working on lead generation to get more sponsors.

Lessons Learned

1. ChatGPT-4o image generation will not replace graphic designers no matter how good the AI image generation gets, because graphic designers have a good hold on the fundamentals of design, so they can prompt better than an average human.

2. Prompt generation and prompt management-related products and services will keep getting more and more valuable since AI tools are getting more and more valuable.

3. Networking 1-to-1 or online will be more important than just applying to get a job because with AI tools, anyone can auto-apply to any number of jobs.

4. AI agents will fail on social media because social media algorithms will keep getting better to avoid bots and AI agents from manipulating engagement on their platform.

5. Selling a customer chatbot service to a business is useless in 2025, until and unless you are selling it to an enterprise in which you create the chatbot for them from scratch without affecting their data.

6. Building a huge product-based business with a small team is possible now, but you still need funding to market it in the initial phase.

7. Iman Gadhzi just became a co-owner in Whop, so now we’ll see more and more creators build their SaaS rather than just selling courses.

8. The best courses in the AI era will be popular only because of the community you get access to, because even AI can generate a course today.

9. Any product that sells because of a trend doesn’t work organically in the long term. Notion templates were trending in 2021. The trend went away in 2023. Courses were also trending in 2021. The trend is going away slowly.

10. LinkedIn influencers with 1M+ followers will be earning as much as a YouTuber having 1M+ followers because LinkedIn influencers can get sponsorships from B2B companies, and LinkedIn content has a higher CTR than a YouTube video.

I hope you’ve found this helpful.

Have a great day!
