  Native ads are one of the hardest ones to make actually work. The image part is easy, just create a batch of 20 variants. Done. But the hard part is the storytelling and taking a reader from unaware to fully aware. My ideal set up for the copy is: 1. Hook -> STOP the scroll + create curiosity 2. Problem -> Make them recognize themselves 3. Failed solutions -> WHY what they tried didn't work 4. Mechanism -> Explain what's ACTUALLY causing the problem 5. Solution -> Introduce your product naturally 6. Proof -> Reviews / authority / results 7. Offer -> Give them a reason to take action The magic happens in the storytelling. Make it personal so someone from your ICP can literally think: “this is me.” Talking in the same language as your ICP makes the storytelling actually stick (so research the keywords/language your audience uses in FB groups, Reddit etc). We often see that a PDP works best in these cases when the copy is good. Bc the long-form primary text basically works as your prelander.

  @volosatovde Reddit, X or similar products' reviews. People usually complain over there or are looking for a better product. I would reach out to those people first. Another way would be to post on Reddit asking people how are they solving 'xyz' problem or if they have an 'xyz' problem.

  @dyingscribe Yeah… sadly a way too common phenomenon and the amount of people that admit to it on Reddit, Twitter, and other platforms is staggering. This is why The No-Style Style is so prevalent: basic reading comprehension has gone down; use of literary devices nonexistent.

  its 2026 and @everquest @EQ_Legends will ban you without conversation or warning for using a Clown emoji. Per their ruse in their discord server the clown face is the same as a the swastika. I am not lying, this is legit. This is what happens when you take a bunch of reddit mods running an EMU server and make them the team lead on a multi-class classic game.

  At 9:00 every morning, an agent sends me the content ideas that cleared my quality bar. But before building the agent, I wrote the standard down. The agent, Hermes, just enforces that line so I never have to trust my 11pm judgment again. Here is what it beats ideas against, in an order you can run by hand: ➤ Fix where ideas come from. Mine come from a watch-list of creators on LinkedIn, X and YouTube, from forums like Reddit and Quora where buyers describe problems with no audience to impress, from the blogs and newsletters my buyers read, and from topic searches that catch the people I don't follow yet. ➤ Measure posts against their author's average. A post counts only when it clearly beats that author's usual numbers. 800 likes from someone who always gets 800 tells you not much. ➤ Run 4 checks before an idea gets your attention: The same story from three sources becomes one theme, counted once. Topics on your banned list never make it in. Every number keeps a link to its source. Each survivor gets a score on one question: would the people you want to reach care? ➤ Then this hard part: let the bar say no. On a day nothing clears it, Hermes sends nothing. The empty mornings are what make the full ones trustworthy. Hermes logs every idea I take or skip and tunes its scoring to match those calls. 💾 Save this post to build your own AI scout agent!

  Secret of the DTC Universe #6: Avatar research is overrated. GASP. I know. Let me explain: These days, a lot of people get taught that the key to scaling eCom and DTC comes down to developing a bunch of highly specific avatars. And, in case you’re wondering… An avatar is basically the character profile for one of your potential buyers. So for example, let’s say you sell a gut supplement and your average buyer is a 52-year-old woman. If you’re an AvatarMaxxer… You might create an in-depth brief and character sketch for each of the following avatars within that market: - A 52-year-old woman dealing with menopause. - A recently divorced woman trying to get back into the dating world. - An empty nester who is suddenly focused on herself again. - A career-focused woman who has become more concerned with her appearance. - A woman who is struggling with confidence as she gets older. - A busy working mom who feels tired and run down And you might even do additional versions of these avatar briefs along different ethnic lines as well. So like… A version of each avatar profile for white women, black women, Asian women, Hispanic women, etc. Do that though… And it means your next month or two is going to be filled with endless deep research into the psychographic profile for each of those groups. You’ll go to Reddit threads, read comments on ads, and basically do all of the research stuff I taught in the “R” section of the original RMBC Method. And then… You’re going to need to build out some giant system for generating different ads for every single one of those avatars. There’s a certain class of people who hear all of this and get super revved-up… “Systems…research…daddy like!" But the truth is… Those people are hardly ever effective marketers or particularly successful people… And even if they are… They’re still shooting themselves in the foot… Because this whole process slows everything down tremendously. And, much worse… In the vast majority of cases, doing all of this is only going to lead to very incremental gains at best. The reason why is simple: It’s because all of those “different” avatars have much more in common than they have not in common. For example - let’s look at that 52-year-old female buyer. No matter whether she’s black or white… Married or divorced… Has adult children, young children, or no children… Has a 9-5 or is a stay-at-home-mom… Then she almost certainly is STILL: -Dealing with some stage of menopause. -Experiencing less energy than she did when she was 42. -Enjoying more confidence than when she was younger, but feeling like that’s in tension with the fact that her physical appearance doesn’t match her mental state (she doesn’t feel old, but she sees or feels signs of aging). - In a romantic relationship, or has been in one recently. And, if she’s in our target market… Then she STILL has a similar cluster of symptoms as virtually every other woman in that market: Bloating, low energy, weight issues, fatigue, worse sleep, mood swings, hair shedding, etc. That’s the shared center of the TAM (total addressable market)... It’s massive (see image attached with this post). And this is why that center is where you should focus 90% of your efforts when it comes to writing ads. It just makes the most logical sense… And doing this lets you get OUT of research mode and INTO testing and scaling so much faster. This last part is HUGE… Because I’m pretty sure most of the people who love AvatarMaxxing are actually just using it as a cope for not taking action. It gives them the ILLUSION of productivity… When in reality, they’re just pussyfooting around… And putting off doing the ONLY thing that matters… Which is getting your ads out into the wild… Putting real money behind them… And then letting the market tell you whether or not you’re on the right track. And, to be clear, this doesn’t mean your ads won’t have any specificity. They totally will. They’ll be: Specific about the problem. Specific about the desired outcome. Specific about the mechanism. Specific about the reason the person has struggled before. Specific about the details that make the product believable. All of that specificity is fine… But none of that means you need to spend months building out some database of highly nuanced avatar profiles. You can write one ad about menopause… Another about appearance… Another about confidence… Another about the frustration of feeling like your body has changed… And all of those ads will still speak to the massive center of your target market. -SPG P.S. This is an important P.S. so I hope you read it. I’m not saying you should never speak to other markets. Of course you can test ads and landers that target different demos. That’s fine… Although you should really only do that once you’ve reached a ton of scale, and it really seems like finding more growth on at least one traffic channel will be hard. So for example… Maybe you’re doing nine figures on Meta selling a gut supplement to women who are, on average, 50+. Now you want to go after men… Obviously it makes sense to spend time doing research about why guys buy gut supplements… And further narrowing down who you target to a specific age-range again, like 50+ dudes. It would be crazy not to. And of course, it’s also fine if you want to test ads speaking to specific segments of your market as well. For example, let’s stick with guys… Maybe you test different ads that are targeted towards different pain points… Or you do some ads targeted towards fit dads, while others are focused on out-of-shape retirees. That’s cool. Go nuts… But you STILL don’t need to develop some elaborate avatar profile to do this. Especially in the days of AI. LLMs were trained on pretty much the entire corpus of human knowledge (including a LOT of Reddit threads)... And your ads are mostly going to be like 1-4 minutes long… So you don’t need to unlock the secrets of the universe here… It’s often as simple as being like: “I’m still in great shape even though I’m in my 50s…which is why I don’t understand what’s going on in my gut.” Or… “When I retired after 40 years, I thought I’d finally be able to relax. Instead, I’m constantly stressed about going to the bathroom.” Oh wow. I’m a witch! I just figured out how to talk to two segments in a different way… And I didn’t spend 4 weeks of mental mastur-you-know-what to make it happen. P.P.S. I want to be very clear. I am not writing this email to “call out” the experts/gurus/people who advocate for AvatarMaxxing. If it works for them - that’s awesome. If it works for their students - also fantastic. There is no right way to do anything. I just personally don’t think you need to spend much time on avatars.

  The biggest wealth transfer on the internet right now is kids getting rich off the knowledge of professionals who think YouTube is beneath them... Look at the pattern once & you can't unsee it: A fake mechanic teaches car owners the fixes real mechanics explain for free on Reddit. A fake tax expert turns CPA forum posts into stories & clears five figures a month. A fake appraiser mines estate-sale threads & owns the "is grandma's china worth money" audience. A fake Amish man repackages old homesteading forums to a quarter million subscribers Different niches. Identical crime scene. In every case: The professional gave the knowledge away for karma points. A kid packaged it. The package got rich. The professional is still charging by the hour & wondering why the phone slowed down And here's the detail that should keep tradesmen up at night... not one of these kids knows ANYTHING. They can't fix, file, appraise or farm. Their entire skill is moving knowledge from where it's free to where it's watched. That's it. That's the whole empire Which means the counterattack is stupidly short: 1 - You already own the only asset in this economy: the knowledge. Twenty years of it, pre-verified, in your head 2 - The packaging is now a machine. Character built once, held consistent. Your voice memos in, scripts in the character's voice out... Subscribr runs the research, the outline, the full script & you correct the one thing it got wrong instead of writing anything 3 - And you hold the one card no kid can counterfeit: a real business at the end of the funnel. Their ceiling is an ebook & an AdSense check. Yours is a booked calendar, a service ticket, a $14,000 job The kids aren't better than you. They just showed up to where your customers were asking questions & you didn't Show up. It's your knowledge. Go collect it Link in bio... bring the 20 years, we'll bring the machine

  Study maps developer-reported risks in AI-native IDEs (integrated development enviroments) A preprint paper accepted for ASE 2026, international Conference on Automated Software Engineering, which will take place in Munich, Germany during October 12-16, 2026, analyzed 446 Reddit posts and 6,000+ comments on LLM*-based coding tools including Chat GPT, Claude Code, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, and Codex. Reported issues clustered around unauthorized file operations, unsafe code execution, destructive actions, opaque data flows, telemetry collection, and sensitive data exposure. The dataset indicates the main friction is not only model output quality but tool privilege and workflow design. Developers are already compensating with manual isolation, configuration controls, and code governance, while the researchers argue secure defaults, explicit approvals, and sensitive file protections should be built in at the architectural level. *LLMs are language models with many parameters, and are trained with self-supervised learning on a vast amount of text.

  @adredev I don't like Discord or Reddit much. The problem with game dev is that elitism tends to run rampant. I think there are a high proportion of failed game devs that like to discourage others. The best way I've found is to actively engage streamers and build a community.

  Somewhere on Reddit right now, someone is asking for exactly what you sell. Not "might be interested." Asking. "What are people using for X?" "Is there a tool that does Y?" No other channel hands founders that: a buying signal with a timestamp, an author, and a comment box under it. Cold email guesses at intent. Ads interrupt. SEO waits months. On Reddit, the buyer starts the conversation. Which makes the strange part stranger: almost every founder who tries Reddit quits inside a month. Removed post, sometimes a banned account, same conclusion every time: "Reddit hates marketers." They're half right. And the half they're wrong about is the entire opportunity. The case for giving up is real, so let's make it properly. Reddit is the most aggressively moderated major platform on the internet. Three separate layers can kill your comment: AutoModerator rules (instant, mechanical), the sitewide spam filter (invisible, judging your account more than your words), and human moderators who clean up after dozens of founders every week. Removals are frequently silent: your comment looks live to you and is invisible to everyone else. You can market into a void for weeks without knowing. So yes: if your plan is "post my product in ten subreddits," Reddit will shred you. Honestly, it should. That plan is spam with founder branding. Here's what the founders who quit don't see: every mechanism that shredded them is the reason the channel still works. The moderation is WHY buyers trust what they read there. People append "reddit" to their searches because shilling gets removed and what survives is real. When a founder answers a question well, discloses who they are, and the comment stands, that survival is itself a signal: the community let it stand. And because most founders bounce off, the ones who learn the rules compete with almost nobody. Anyone can send cold email, so inboxes are ruined. Anyone can buy ads, so auctions are expensive. Reddit's difficulty filters out your competition for you. Why do founders specifically fail? Three mismatched assumptions: 1. They treat a community channel like a broadcast channel. Launch-day energy, post everywhere, link everything. That's the exact pattern every filter is tuned to catch. Reddit rewards residents and removes tourists. 2. They start selling before the account can survive selling. The filters weigh WHO is speaking: account age, karma, history in that community. A thoughtful comment from a 3-day-old account gets removed where the same words from a seasoned account would stand. Founders read that as censorship. It's actually a solvable onboarding problem. 3. They measure the wrong thing and quit at the trough. Reddit compounds slowly, then suddenly: weeks of quiet contribution, then one surviving answer in the right thread pulls signups for months, because threads rank in Google long after the conversation dies. Founders measuring day-7 signups walk away just as the compounding begins. None of the fix requires tricks, burner accounts, or gray-hat anything. The whole playbook: be genuinely useful, in the right rooms, at a human pace, from an account that has earned the right to speak. The craft is knowing what each of those words means mechanically. We just wrote the full 8-part playbook on it: bans, account seasoning, subreddit rules (we profiled 2,000+ communities; only 5% clearly allow self-promotion), the reply that survives, pacing, listening, and the funnel from comment to customer. Publishing it all this month. Follow along if Reddit is where your buyers are.
