[@GregIsenberg]

NEW CHARACTER UNLOCKED: JOSEPH "VIRAL APP GUY" CHOI. LIKE/COMMENT/SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE OF THIS IN YOUR FEED. people charge for this stuff, i give it away for free

[@ddfelder2]

I know you have everything you could ever want & need but you’re def on my list to find in real life to express my gratitude/appreciation. Until then, I have to make it known here. You’re doing so much good in this world and you are very much appreciated for it!

[@carolopara6069]

The demographic in TikTok do not have a lot of money to spare. If you look at the product sold there most of them are not priced above $80. If you're considering TikTok Influencer you have to take into account with the pricing. Lastly, Saas product are generally membersips which some consumers wouldn't want to sign up to. I tried promoting saas products on Producthunt on TikTok but the conversion rate was too low. Anyway, if you do a case study to bring someone who did it and was successful at it to walk us through step by step that will be nice. Great video. Thanks!😊

Agree on more of him, please. Thanks!

[@roy_fusion]

This is definitely the most useful channel I've ever seen

[@GregIsenberg]

you dont know how much i appreciate comments like this, will keep going!

[@RyanMcNeill]

Greg! The stuff you and your guests share gives me that sort of dopamine rush that you only get from hearing truly novel info that you know you’ll use. Keep it up, my man.

[@personofinternet682]

I am watching 3rd straight video on your channel today. Thats around 2.5 hours. My startup idea is fleshing out as I am going through each of these interviews. Greg, you deserve some kind of award. Thank you and for bringing in some great folks on to your pod.

[@ShaneWalshSays]

I'm back to say Google Gemini 2.0 (which came out today) will change AI vision models forever. Detailed full length VIDEO analysis. Mic drop. Time to start building.

[@shloimyfuchs]

Loved the episode, very deep dive in. About the cult thing - I think the right word for it is community.

[@eujin9709]

don't know why it's free but i am glad it's free i watched full. and took some valuable notes out of it. thanks to greg my inspiration.

[@Arx9845]

Joseph is a phenomenal guest star!

[@martyn_health]

Criminally underfollowed is the best way to describe joseph

[@toledavid89]

Are you in his group? Can you tell me how long one typically has to stay in the waitlist?

[@anthonydapiii]

Amazing value. Thanks Greg and Joseph

[@6ur6enFanatic]

Do Kevin Jon next

The insight in this pod is crazy, keep this coming!

[@gabrielgranados2893]

at this point I'm just on you tube to watch Greg Isenberg videos. Good stuff!

[@David-ks6bw]

One of better podcasts. One question for next time is how do you validate your app idea? How do you know if the idea its worth pursuing?

[@Lukas-ye4wz]

Talking to people. Read Uri Levine's book

[@mrpatrickljones]

@@Lukas-ye4wz you are reffering to the book "Fall in love with the problem not the solution"?

this guy spilled the beans...he almost bite his tongue when he talks 😅

[@brendanobrien3878]

What if you're not technical? I'm a talented tiktok creator (260k+ followers) but not technical at all. How do I make my own ai app that I can drive users to?

[@huzaifamadni8271]

Let's do it together. I build. You distribute.

[@markdin2988]

find a cofounder or start with AI tools. Like Bolt or Cursor

[@pradyumncs]

It doesn't matter 33:50

[@paulied1850]

Hey Brendan, my company sells Ai receptionist SaaS for businesses. Not sure if that's something you'd want to promote but we pay high monthly recurring commissions if you do?

[@OnlyNetEdits]

Give me $2000 and I’ll tell you something you can sell immediately without having to build a product and recurring revenue (20$/user /month)

[@ShaneWalshSays]

Ya, this one is straight 🔥and I am only halfway in. Promoting apps, genius. But do i make the app myself or affiliate for an already successful app?

[@CraigMyers-t9x]

what are you using for recording these pods/trainings??

[@thesolucien]

SHHHHWING! 🎉🎉🎉

Awesome video!

[@kparag01]

Greg's voice is deep. ❤ From india

[@quierovivirensanantoniotex7407]

Great Video. What tools would you use to build an app like the one you are suggesting. Could it be a no code tool like daily bots ? or what would you suggest.?? thank you

[@iz8437]

Doesnt Tiktok push tiktok shop viral videos, while it doesnt allow digital products on Tiktok shop, so how do you market your consumer app with affiliates?

[@GregIsenberg]

You each out to those creators and ask them to create content for your app

[@RyanStephenAlldridge]

This was great

[@jowallet2890]

What was the actual energy output part of your equation? Is up to 20% now? Side note i don't think that avenue would align with your principles. Texas path to wind... Big Ag killed the soil of Texas farmers. The only way to grow food in that, is throw money at it. Or... Put windmills on the vast dead land that pay you. The secret to energy for the East Coast is a trompe running a Tesla turbine turning the important part of a natural gas turbine. (A lot of patents probably still available). The West Coast is geothermal. Create a market to take over the market.

[@erikkorem]

Greg - how would you suggest tracking affiliate sales for an app? IOS 14 broke attribution. Would this be pay for play for creators on TikTok to promote?

[@jelanithebuilder]

This is TRUE alpha

[@bhavenjain07]

Nice ❤

[@ShaneWalshSays]

What was the "lock in" topic under Cult movements?

[@ddfelder2]

I swear Greg reads my mind! 👀 *sippin* 🥤

[@escapevelocityvideos]

This seemed to be more about how to market a million dollar app than it is to build one? Still valuable, but now I need an app to sell!

[@genioretardo3963]

Just sell mine ezpz

[@andreafarland9680]

Thanks for the great info as I was just about to start selling products on affiliate for TikTok I am just confused how to get started on selling apps can you please give me a pointer on how to get an affiliate link for an app that I can use in videos that’s the part that’s confusing for me. I’m new to all of this stuff when it comes to actually doing it. 💯💯💯💯

[@Aspen567]

Yes yes yes. Thank you!

[@JohnAmao-k3f]

I tried to sign up on TikTok seller, but I can’t access affiliate because I am not from the US and I need an SSN to sign up

[@EverythingFarley]

Not really having any luck with any of this advice. But thanks for the video. Hope it works out for other people, it’s not working out for me.

[@tech.aspiration2024]

Hey bro you are amazing man. Is thos ideas does makes cash really?

[@nopium_xyz]

won't tiktok ban you for having too may accounts? how are people getting around this?

[@Mrthirsty2]

Amazing

[@portofstillwater5698]

how do you do any of this without having a ton of money????

I feel like I will never ever understand good businesses. Tabs chocolate is just expensive chocolate. Even the aphrodisiac chemicals can be purchased for 10% of the price. Why in the world would any sane person buy Tabs chocolate? I'll never understand consumers

[@PrinceAbiS]

Sell to rich people, they pay for quality and to save time, they are outcome driven and if you market a decent product people will buy. People have money.

[@LeonMortgage]

You're trying to understand purchases from your perspective which is the issue. Think about the things you already buy and what led you to buy them. Are there any brands you follow etc

[@anthonygordon07]

People will buy anything marketed right. The Pet Rock did 4+ million.

[@arekszklarczyk5935]

​@@joepopelas Exactly. Top marketing is making people feel special and amazing. Watch Mad Men.

[@rjackstheartofwealth6152]

ITS CALLED MARKETING ITS CALLED BRANDING ITS CALLED BUILDING AN EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE WITH THE CONSUMER ITS CALLED… SIPPIN TIME

[@funscape23]

amaz

[@satchel888]

Seems like their studio would just take these ideas and build apps for themselves if these are successful tactics. All tactic and channel arbitrage eventually goes to zero. It’s brilliant but…..what’s the catch?

[@MrLoonzy]

TikTok is the most brain-numbing, mind-melting collection of utter pointlessness, I've had the misfortune to see and hear, it's beyond my comprehension why the majority of the younger generation is completely addicted to it, but even more worrying is seeing people my age in their 40s watching it all day and on occasion making videos, cringiest thing I've ever witnessed.

Greg not a useful podcast. Ask: Let's generate an app using cursor, V0 . teach us how to deploy on ios, google play. Then let's market it. Let's do step by step. You can do a series of it.

[@LudwigSolutionsAI22]

He started those videos a month ago with Jason

[@ciprodriguez]

This is a useful podcast. Brain storming is useful. Gotta have an idea before you get to cursor or bolt etc

[@shipfastnow]

@@LudwigSolutionsAI22 Yes, he did the coding part. It was useful. Even though I have been using the framework I learn something more. But I do not know, where to past the code. I do not know, how to publish on IOS/GOOGLEPLAY. I have published many webistes till now. but I wnat to create an app.Other tutorials are either clickbait or too complex for me to understand Besides no one covers the maketing your saas tools. I am sure Greg will.

[@shipfastnow]

@@ciprodriguez Good to hear you found it useful. I didn't :)
