He Built a Startup using AI That Prints Money (Full Tutorial)

Haha I've been watching countless episodes of your happy, chill Canadian self from down here in Guatemala. Viva tu pod!

[@ThisGuyShips]

This episode is pure gold for anyone building a business. Cody drops some serious knowledge bombs about modern marketing that most "gurus" aren't talking about. Here are the game-changing takeaways: ⏰ 1:12 - Marketing funnels are dead. People don't buy in a straight line - they orbit your brand like planets, making multiple touches before converting. Build digital gravity instead of funnels. ⏰ 41:34 - Consumer app pricing hack: $7.99/week looks cheaper than $29/month but generates 3x more revenue. People make impulse purchases at this price point. ⏰ 47:01 - Creator partnership gold: Buy 3-video packages (not just one) and offer 30% recurring commission. This creates defensive moats against competitors trying to poach your influencers. Most valuable insight: Building "digital mass" through consistent content everywhere your customer exists > running random campaigns. Who else is rethinking their entire marketing strategy after watching this? Drop a 🌍 if you're ready to build some serious digital gravity. #marketing #startups #growth

This is such a fantastic episode, Greg! Please don't ever run out of guests like this. So many valuable knowledge nuggets in one video. So much so that it's almost hard to believe Cody's giving all this for free 😄

[@ryandarani]

This is probably the BEST tactical sit-down on marketing I've ever heard. People are being given the LITERAL playbooks in less than an hour lol.

[@karinolson7228]

Great insights and playbook!! Love not only digital gravity and orbits but also the insight on campaigns and warring. For what it is worth, I really appreciate you doing this IRL. AND … for what it is worth … the distant camera shots remind me that I am watching it and not part of it - something I forget with your other interviews together that have the close up shots.

Really appreciated this content. This was absurdly insane to skip it. So here I am :) But QQ I didn't get the function of the Mailreef here. Isn't the Smartlead or other tools Cody mentioned already doing it (including email warmup and such) ?

[@Mind.Body.Mosaic]

Oh, thank God! Something with alcohol content (even if it is a Modelo.) I'm missing the usual Cody energy.

[@vincewicker2423]

Solid stuff. You are the insight magnet

[@kylekotecha9931]

Killer episode! So much value

[@DreamClearStudios]

Funnels definitely still work. Not in every vert and there’s plenty of situations where it wouldn’t make sense to use a funnel strategy. But to dismiss them is an oversight. And the concept just makes logical sense.

[@louisecourville]

Totally agree 👍 I see people buying offers in my feed all the time. If they weren’t they would not run ads to it!

[@franciscomoney]

Great Conversation! Good that you are enjoying a great beer! Cheers from a Colombian! Something that I get from the conversation is to be part of the TOP OF MIND for your customer. So when the decision comes, then they could buy from you!

I'd expect a funnel probably works better for a CPG product (AG1) versus something more complex and hard to buy like B2B software.

[@jowallet2890]

If I was a market that put business's on it's rails. I would put markets on those rails. And use digital gravity to sway people to want to pull out their wallets to jump on the newest fad. Vs. pulling out a wallet for a brand. Market to market is the axiom.

[@jowallet2890]

And this is what the necklace dude did. It's not that he doesn't have competition, he marketed a market to take over the market.

[@MartinBenesCreative]

Cold email? Really? I think we are all sick receiving cold emails. This video is packed with both great and nonsense tactics. Cold emailing is against GDPR so it’s quite risky and can harm your reputation unless your audience are monkeys. Let’s be more professional guys. Same for the AI videos, if you want really to connect with your audience, do your own real videos. The Ai avatars still look fake. It’s still not the right time to use them but for sure soon they will be great. A lot of bla bla but nothing really professional. It’s just shiny object content video. But what is worth is the attitude of this guy. Most of people just will give you credit because of your attitude. It’s part of the business.

[@muhammadtrad5337]

You obviously haven't tried cold email then.
