I'm working on 24 startups simultaneously (half a million b2b users, multimillion ARR) No VC funding, employees, calls, office, managers... Each business is 100% async over chat: > me: idea, design, UX & marketing. > comaker: coding, product & support. Why, how, what:
1. After wasting my best years for a decade in VC-backed space, startup accelerators, conferences, meetings, scrums, I decided to do a hard pivot. In 2023, I started my bootstrapping journey to build the world's most automated org to democratize startups for everyone
2. I wanted to build a set of tools and AI Agents so that anyone with an idea, passion, and discipline could use them to compete with VC-backed corporations while being independent. It felt unfair that only people living in a handful of Western cities playing the game.
3. My plan was to build tools for - ideation, formation, operation - building/coding - growing/marketing Basically, the whole cycle of the business. Here are the tools I've launched so far:
1. @unicornplatform - website builder for busy founders & marketers. - best for building web directories, job boards & landing pages with it. - super easy to use, no design or coding skills needed. - connected to all my other tools for seo/ads/analytics...
2. @seobotai - world's first AI SEO agent for a blog - runs 100% on autopilot with moderation options - works with all popular CMS - insanely good ROI for SEO if you're a busy founder
3. @listingbott - finds new directories on the web every day - lists your product on every relevant directory it finds - humans moderate all the actions, so no spam, no mistakes - saves days and weeks of work for busy founders and marketers
4. @indexrusher - gets you indexed by bing(helps with LLM search optimization, so that chatgpt knows you) - helps with google indexing(up to 20 pages a day) - saves you time, often drives SEO traffic up
5. @devhunt_ - product hunt alternative for dev tools - second best launchpad in the world after ph (by traffic)
6. http://countvisits.com - analytics for landing pages & web directories - web stats, seo stats, stripe, domain rating and anything else that is possible to fetch/measure for a saas is coming in v2 - The LifeTime deal ends next month, when I launch v2
7. http://filmgrail.com - cinema platform that offers entire cinema software set: - website and native mobile apps - CMS - CRM - cinema ticketing software and all the other software that cinemas need Here is the old pic, today most of the team is replace by AI.
8. @wrapifai - can generate form based tiny apps - works best for mini tools for SEO or lead magnets - also works well for mini AI generator apps (e.g. user inputs data into the form and the app uses AI to generate smth)
9. Directories (all built using @unicornplatform ) https://aitoolfor.org/ https://bestaiagents.org/ https://hostedsoftware.org/ https://osssoftware.org/ https://nextjsstarter.com/ https://llmmodels.org/ https://mvpwizards.com/ https://topwebsitebuilders.org... https://saassoftware.org/ https://x.com/johnrushx/status...
10. Directory Guide - I described everything I know about building successful directories - Short but effective guide - 1000+ people have bought it and 99% were happy with it -> https://johnrush.me/directory-...
11. Projects in beta/progress > saasEmailer - AI Agent to handle emails for saas. > webPinger - AI Agent for web monitoring and uptime > PR AI Agent - for social media and PR > TinyAdz - ad network and monetization tools for websites, directories, newsletters and social media
12. I have 23 more projects planned, and I need co-makers. - you must have tried building a few products solo in the past - you live in a cost-efficient country & can afford no revenue for 1-3 years - you hate calls & love doing it all async over chat -> https://johnrush.me/comaker-ap...
@johnrushx What do you mean by "product"?
@JanuBuilds Turning ideas into product/ux/logic
@johnrushx which biz is most profitable ?
@MakerThrive The non AI tools make lost profits But AI agents have the best revenue
@johnrushx I also have dozens of websites live but most aren't monetised or marketed. what would be the best approach in your perspective to start marketing and monetising all of them in the most automated way possible (with little initial investment)
@janwilmake What’s your traffic on them? Show me a few examples
@johnrushx who is your co-maker?
@janwilmake Every project has its own comaker
@johnrushx Im catching up, with 4 e-commerce stores, 2 directories and a SaaS. 0 employees, only freelancers on Fiverr from time to time. But revenue is not anywhere near yours 🤣
@samiralibabic I'm doing it full time since 2005 most of the action has happened in the last 12 months, but the 19 years prior this were needed
@johnrushx Async works if you have clear roles, strong execution, and zero ego. If you’re constantly chasing alignment, it’ll collapse fast.
@jjalan yeah, that's correct I dont partner with makes who can't control their ego
@johnrushx I feel like most people think you need big teams, funding, and endless meetings to build a startup. But you’re proving that with the right systems and smart collaboration, you can scale without all that. But I'm curious to know John how do you decide which startup to focus on
@ProductUpfront I just follow my intuition and user feedback
@johnrushx Can you do 24 well, or should you hyper focus on a couple?
@FWD_Newsletter Depends on your personality Most porker a wired to do one thing well I’m wired to do many things well. If I do just one thing, my performance drops
@johnrushx Unless you show the actual numbers, and clarify if you are even making any profit; this goes into the "cool story bro folder"
@allanmacgregor I show actual numbers see my other tweets
