My response? (See Screenshot) Cite FTC guidance that businesses should use proper domains, offer to help them get one.

Polite. Shuts it down.

Game-changer: It's invisible to my clients—just a smooth booking experience. And for me? Lifetime access means one less subscription to track. Perfect for solopreneurs who need scheduling to work without the enterprise price tag.

October 29, 2025 at 1:31 PM
The 3-question test it passed:
✅ Replaces manual work? Yes (the "what time works for you?" dance)
✅ Testable in 10 minutes? Yes (set up, send one booking link)
✅ Saves time weekly? Yes (3+ hours on scheduling back-and-forth)
October 29, 2025 at 1:31 PM
Why it works: One-time fee via AppSumo (lifetime access), clean interface, does exactly what it needs to do. No monthly subscription bleeding my budget.

BTW—I don't get paid to recommend these. They're just legitimately saving my business 12+ hours weekly​

Game-changer: I record once, repurpose everywhere. One client call becomes a testimonial clip, a LinkedIn post, and a YouTube Short. Auto-captions mean accessibility is built-in, not an afterthought.

Perfect for turning your expertise into marketing content without a video editor on payroll.
October 28, 2025 at 3:09 PM
The 3-question test it passed:
✅ Replaces manual work? Yes (video editing without the learning curve)
✅ Testable in 10 minutes? Yes (upload one video, see the magic)
✅ Saves time weekly? Yes (6+ hours turning long content into clips)
October 28, 2025 at 3:09 PM
Why it works: I edit video by editing text. Seriously. No timeline scrubbing, no complex software. Delete a word in the transcript = it's deleted from the video.

Full transparency: I'm not affiliated with any of these tools. Just sharing what saves me 12+ hours a week.

Game-changer: My pre-publish prompt reviews past newsletters checks for repetition and ensures I'm adding new context and new concepts, not just saying the same thing differently.
October 27, 2025 at 2:27 PM
The 3-question test it passed:
✅ Replaces manual work? Yes (research + drafting + coding help)
✅ Testable in 10 minutes? Yes (try one content prompt)
✅ Saves time weekly? Yes (12+ hours on content and automation)

Why it works: Claude's memory means I don't re-explain my business every time. It already knows my writing tone & style, my target audience, and what I'm building. Turns good content into tight, layered content faster.

October 27, 2025 at 2:27 PM
I'll be sharing the journey—the wins, the pivots, the "holy sh*t" moments.

Building in public, learning faster. Let's go.
October 24, 2025 at 4:12 PM
The real challenge? Small businesses (<50 employees) are sitting on goldmine data but can't leverage it. Basic adoption but zero data leverage.
October 24, 2025 at 4:12 PM
The Founder Institute piece: World's largest pre-seed accelerator, 35K mentors, structured program from validation → traction → fundraising.

I'm bringing enterprise-level automation to the businesses that need it most. With ADHD-friendly design because complexity kills adoption.
October 24, 2025 at 4:12 PM
What I'm building: A subscription platform that helps small businesses adopt AI and automation without needing a tech team.

Why? They're drowning in tools built for enterprise. Too many options, no clear path, wrong fit for their needs.
