Founders

good question 

@woj.eth @jtgi @downshift.eth 

any advice to or thoughts on indie FC builders surviving until the next 10x?

narrative violation: imo there is enough people to build an independent business on farcaster *today*

at 50k daily active users on the network, you have enough people to market to

you probably need only around 1k customers to replace your job and go full time, which is just 2% of people who open warpcast DAILY

how to get there:

1. charge too much and too early. i know, it sucks — id love supercast to be free, be open source etc. i have many people telling me i will fail (huge lmao) bc there is no free plan and price is too high. fuck the haters (99% are forever wagecucks anyway) and make money

2. lean into farcaster trends. people are very tribal here and vibe matters a lot. it doesn't mean that you should build your whole product around degen, moxie or higher but integrating these tokens definitely drives more customers

3. post more often — at least 3 posts a day. spend 1h a day just writing and replying, schedule posts with supercast and have your posts go live without losing focus

gg ez

I struggle big time with #2 because that's just not how I operate or want my art to be seen as a gimmick. So while I charge 0.007 ETH for a monthly sub which is affordable for art, I don't fall into the trap of trends.
