Tony Dinh's One-Step Method to Measure X Visitors For TypingMind
Tony Dinh uses this simple tracking hack to track traffic from X.
Problem: Most marketers don't track their X traffic
Solution: A short link in bio (to reveal visitor sources)
Tony Dinh places a short URL in his X bio: https://typingmind.com/x
Tony Dinh - X Bio
This URL transforms into a full tracking URL with UTM parameters:
https://www.typingmind.com/?utm_source=link-x&utm_medium=quicklink
TypingMind - UTM Parameter
The result shows clear attribution that reveals exactly how many visitors came from X.

Speed has always been a startup's #1 superpower, but the pace at which "AI native" teams are moving right now is truly insane.
Their secret? It's not really a secret. They just use all the best AI tools to get leverage in every part of their workflow: Cursor, Figma, Vercel,… x.com/i/web/status/1…

PMF or Die is insane. 90 Days to $1M ARR or die trying with just $25k in initial investment. All live-streamed on Twitch.
Countless B2C Apps with TikTok as an influencer marketing channel have done this. It is the fastest way to achieve $10k-$100k MRR.
The co-founders had a controversy where one founder left the cage but its still a fun TV-show to watch. And a phenomenal marketing strategy.

We’re building the next $10,000,000,000 Duolingo. And we’re hiring just 1 iOS engineer to do it with.
Crazy story…
So @ShaanVP emails us last year.
Something like: 'Hey dummies. You get billions of views teaching nonsense on YouTube. That’s dumb. How about you make money?… x.com/i/web/status/1…

Henry Belcaster and Dylan Jardon who mastered short-form and went from 0 to 300k YouTube subscribers in 2 months are launching a STEM-based game called Brain Blast to improve learning SAT.
Their new YouTube channel is a fun way that solves SAT questions.
Those who have mastered the art of going viral know that they can make a lot more money building a business than just helping others go viral.
Already seen 5-10 influencers do this and the trend is going to continue. Can easily use this to partner up with an influencer and giving them equity.

Genius trick.
Lots of alpha in pitching rich people using the right angle.
Spanish is widely spoken and a major business language in Florida.
This girl saw the alpha and DM'd a rich tech guy who can easily make more money or build better relationships with everyone by learning to speak Spanish.
Nothing like talking to a person in their mother tongue.
Humans look for common connection whether its color of skin or similar language or same country. WWE does this beautifully by hiring guys from different countries. They don't hire many people from different countries just one and that's enough to get the whole country to watch.
