Just wanted to share this cool project I built that I hope can turn into something bigger

Basically, AI creates a brand profile based only on a website URL

It uses a combination of 3 social media APIs and some scraping to aggregate influencer data with keywords from the brand site (this was very hard to do at low cost!)

Then it checks profiles individually and scores them based on content performance, audience demographics, and brand-fit

Finally, it auto-contacts the highest scorers on behalf of the brand, so basically brand owners just get positive replies from qualified influencers

I'm really hoping the price point will make influencer marketing more accessible for small to medium sized brands who don't have dedicated marketing departments.

Especially because you can get some insane ROI output with micro influencers in particular.

Any case thanks for reading and there's a no-card trial if it sounds interesting to anyone!

Very open to feedback as well, cheers

thanks

im a US citizen but spend lot of time in EU

that's what im thinking but just trying to see if there's any long term blind spots / downsides to not starting domestic

no, if bohemianism and cheap beer are your priorities I don't imagine it would be.

as far as a place to raise a family, be a part of a community, general quality of life, it fits.

if it was always summer there, i'd be there no question.

I found Finland to be incredibly orderly and utopic as well.

recently launched a product i knew was great, people who have bought it sing its praises, 0 negative feedback.

sales were not terrible, but they were about 10x worse than I was hoping for.

I took the "focus on the product, customers will come" aphorism a bit too literally.

Marketing does not magically happen yet it's easy to ignore.

Obviously i knew this but it took experiencing it myself to fully believe it. Hard lesson.

rarely do i laugh on HN. thanks.

I'd rate it above most, but we are not sure about the side effects since there are no long term studies on it

imo it's good for certain things like coding but significantly reduces lateral thinking / creativity

kinda gives you "mental tunnel vision"

30%+ downvotes seems like there is not a consensus around this issue

you can also use the chrome extension "dark reader" to make every site dark mode, including HN

Tesla covering 3/6... stock price is definitely still low

not only that but I kind of feel like "selling" lets down the new-media movement he's been leading

his success is basically a middle finger to traditional media and corporations - having a very small team, organic growth, and being more authentic and making millions without NEEDING to sell out.

of course I've never had a 9 figure deal so I'm soapboxing here.

but I'd be lying if I didn't say this damages what i really admired about the podcast. idk.

and that's just the money up front, there are certainly some performance bonus clauses in there as incentive, too.

those things you listed as "work" all still apply though, except now there's a contractual obligation

if his desire was to kick back it seems like the move would be to just relax his release schedule

wanting something steady in the chaos of creative work though, I can completely understand
