This is brilliant.
Bloody Brilliant Briefs
how'd you learn SEO? any advice on how to get started ?
TBH I've picked it up along the way while working on one of the products. We have partners there that are all very experienced SEOs and sharing what they know + executing it hands on makes you learn the fastest. This is probably what I'd recommend, to build out a small asset yourself in a niche that can be a playground for experimentation. One great channel for beginners on KZread is my buddy Jaume: www.youtube.com/@JaumeRos
@@nafetswirth thanks so much! love yuor stuff - been following ya on twitter for a while :)
Like first. Watch later.
Always
Will zoom in a bit next time 🥹
I rank this video 1st
Video numbah one
Great content! Need to work on the outfit for youtube though))
White Iverson. Also, my bagel outfit.
Rule of thumb: Like before watching
Haha, was it that bad? I think it was not that good, but I wanted to publish it today, so I went ahead. If it gets some views, I will make a new one.
never give up! :D
Yeah, but gotta be more strategic about it :)
Let's go!
Many content, much wow.
Another video, it’s my lucky week! 😁
❤️
Always quality content, thank you for sharing!
Thanks ❤️ I would say the quality is meh, but I hope it's informative at least, haha.
Looks like the dimensions of the screenshare got a bit f*cked during the export. To see the whole thing check it out here: www.figma.com/board/ffrIzuFjHFr4uhcWR3KfPf/Why-I-stopped-creating-content?t=NhhEFRL40WKMoi8i-1
Finally!!
Fucked up aspect ratio is just for you. Next time it will be round like a bagel!
@@nafetswirth do it in a shape of bagel dog
@@aleksandrveryayskiy843 1 : 16 aspect ratio
If we get another user on the same domain will it help
If you get slapped, not really. It's for the whole domain. So you@yourdomain or you2@yourdomain both get penalized.
@nafetswirth mhm thanks for the info would you know why I can't send outreach to companies even though I'm using my domain from squarespace connected via g suite I've found an email for a sales manager that I want to email but it didn't get sent I got hit with The Mail Delivery System
What inbox warming tool do you recommend?
We're using lemwarm (www.lemwarm.com/ )
Looks like you need some DRS mate
Can't get it in this sh*thole of a country I'm in 😎

@@EelcoWiersma Ah lol. Thought you meant sunlight coz I'm white af yo. I'm skyer white yo
@@nafetswirth hahaha yes that could be good too.
Missed your videos! Glad you’re back 😁🎉
We so back.
As someone who's in the process of building a startup I never considered building in private but this insight providers another view I never considered.
Good advice is the one that makes you think ;)
This was very insightful and to-the-point, thank you Stefan!! :-)
Glad it's helpful 🙏 What do you think is the right way for you? 🤔
@@nafetswirth I'm like you and prefer building in public; transparency is 🔑 to building something of value for the market for most SaaS startups. Speaking of building in public, does Swiftbrief have a WordPress plugin?
Nice man. Are you on Twitter? Re: Wordpress plugin Not yet no. Building a Chrome extension right now, but we'll get to publishing adapters eventually. WordPress def on the list there.
Cheers man! Interesting stuff
🙏🙏🙏
Hallo Stefan , machst du auch was in deutsch , ist da was geplant ? Gruß
Eher nicht 😬
@@nafetswirth kann dir nicht immer folgen 🤪Okay
@@Freecellspieler Fragst mich einfach beim nächsten mal ;)
Damn did you cut your hair? Looks good! Who’s your hairdresser? 👀
I did it myself 😏
This video was both informing and the perfect length to watch while boiling eggs.
It ain't much but it's honest work to get you through an eggboil session.
The book looks great!
Yeah. I think it's one of those things that should be obvious but aren't. I re-read it all the time before doing customer interviews.
If this comment gets 10 upvotes, I will get my beard trimmed. 😜 Thing has gotten wild, yo.
It's time
@@illyism To stop!
@@nafetswirthNo more
@@illyismI'll count your upvote as 5, but we're still missing some. 😬
Love how you talk about the angels and crowdfunding part as well.
There is a lot more flavors to this than most people realize I think. And that's the whole problem this whole us vs. them, this vs. that. Makes people not even explore the options. For this one I think the main question is alignment (exit vs. cashflow) Ultimately your goal will decide what your best options will be.
Great point on aligned regarding Angels vs Crowdfunding.
In the end I think there is two key points: 1. What is focused on an exit 2. What is focused on long-term cash flow. There’s a lot of flavors in between and it’s even possible to combine the two but very often one vehicle comes with a “status quo” or expectation. For example I can offer an angel a profit share to align them with a long term biz but it’s probably not very common. When we partner up we offer upside in both long-term biz and exit scenario but it’s custom negotiated deals. Maybe we’ll see a shift here, who knows. Some people like calm fund are already doing it by offering a shared earnings agreement for a VC type invest.
Nice cleavage
Just for you. Throw a frikandel down there if you want.
@@nafetswirth toss a frikandel to your witcher 🎶
@@EelcoWiersma Ja hoor
Damn you are upping the production quality, so cool!
Uhhh he's trying.
Thank you sharing! Now I at least understand what is bootstrapping! 🔥 My favorite part is "go fast, go big or go home"!
Be honest, you don't have a home. You live in the office.
An idea for BiP roadmaping, so it would rank better in YT SEO - maybe, there is an essence or main takeaway from each session that you could name the session. For example, in our session, we spoke about AI-generated content or cross-linking, etc. Maybe you could name the session - Why you should not use AI for content creation and building roadmap in public. or smth like that 😀
Yeah I've done this for the shorter videos that highlight lets say a certain workflow. Every stream has one short and one long video. I wanna try and see how it goes, will keep an eye on it!
Go go go! Best youtuber in my list 😍
The only too, I hope 😜
voice is not audible properly sir, great content though
Too silent or distorted? 🤔
@nafetswirth it sounds great
@@mora6618 Now I'm confused haha. Either way I got a new microphone coming, so far I was just using my laptop for that hehe.
@@nafetswirth voice is fine for me too
@@Rudmann The voice of Germany!
I know a good place where you can get that "heavy lunch" not far from you))
