Posties 4个月从17K到143K MRR：押注Agentic趋势与X平

Meet Neo. He built an app that makes over a hundred. Actually, you know what? I'm going to have our producer tell you about this one. So, hey Pat, [music] do you want to hear like a crazy story?

Sure. Go for it. So, remember this guy, Neville? We interviewed him like 5 months ago.

Yeah. Yep. I remember him. Yeah.

He built this app, Posties. It's like this social media scheduling tool. Back then, the video was [music] called like open- source SAS or something like that.

Okay. So, why are we talking about it? Check out these tweets. February he made 41,000 MR. March 76,000. April 80,000. May 109,000. Late June 140,000 MR. Wo, this seems almost too good to be true. What did he do?

Okay, so I got on a call with him and he broke everything down like what happened, how he did it, what he learned, and I think all this stuff would be really awesome to like bring him back on the channel. What do you think? You want to interview him?

Yes, absolutely. [snorts] Uh, let's get him on.

In this episode, you're going to learn the app that's now making over $140,000 a month. The one piece of content that really changed everything for his business and exactly how he grew his business almost 10x so fast. All right, let's get into it. I'm Gus. And I'm Pat. And this is Starter Story. Nevo, welcome back to the channel. Just remind people watching here who you are, what you built, and what's your story.

Hi Pat, thank you for having me back here. My name is Neville and I grew my startup posties to 143K in MR in less than two years. It took me one and a half year to grow Posties to 21K MR and then in 4 months it skyrocketed to 143K growing by around 1K MR every day. That's awesome. Let's get into the business part. For people who didn't watch the last video, which you totally should go watch the last video, can you just kind of remind us what Posties is and like kind of how it works?

For sure. So actually post changed. Postis was a social media scheduling tool that let you post to 30 plus platforms and we completely pivoted the whole thing to be an agentic social media scheduling tool. So now when you want to schedule post to social media you don't just go to posties and click and schedule. You do it with agentic tools like claude open claw her agent chpt and so on.

Nice. That's awesome. And can you pull up like your revenue dashboard, Stripe or whatever just to kind of show off the growth for the audience and obviously to prove that this is like legit?

Yeah, for sure. So, we can see here that post is now it's on 143K MR and this is kind of the time that Open Claw came into our life. So, here I was at around 17K our last recording. So, we have 4,271 subscribers, the paint posties. And since we changed to the whole agentic stuff, we dramatically decreased our churn to 13.7%, you can see at the top it was 26 and 28.

That is actual hockey stick right there. You know, they talk about hockey stick growth. That actually is like a true hockey stick right there. That's crazy. So, this change, I mean, this isn't normal for businesses to experience this. you pivoted the app to become an agentic SAS. Can you dig in a little bit more about what that means so people watching it can maybe consider doing something similar?

So a few months ago there was a nice guy named Peter that released a tool called Open Clo and I'm like a hype guy. So if I see some hype, I always trying to understand if I can somehow use it for posties just to grow the business. And I just lean into OpenClaw and put all the tools out there in order to make it agentic ready. And a few days later, there was a guy on X, his name is Oliver Henry. He was making money for his app Snugly on Tik Tok and he said he's doing it 100% automatically with OpenClaw and Posties.

So he created an article on X and this article got 7.2 million views and this brought me to a concurrent 700 trials every day non-stop. And then he released another article and this article again got like 1 and a half million views and my MR started to grow every day. And since then all I'm doing is just more and more agentic stuff for posties.

What Neo is sharing right now is insane. This is this is like the ultimate sauce right here. He grew his app almost 10x in just a few months, which is almost unheard of. And when I see stories like this, I get so excited and it made me want to put something together, which is a free database of proven SAS ideas that you can download right now. In this database, you're going to get real stories, real businesses, and real revenue numbers, pricing models, growth tactics from real bootstrap founders that are actually doing this that you can learn from.

These are all founders who have built successful SAS businesses, and many of them that we've interviewed on this channel right here. If you are looking to do something similar, build a SAS, apply AI agents to it, your idea or inspiration might be hiding right here in this database in the description right now, which is 100% free to download. Just head to that link down there in the description. Click it and you can get it for free.

All right, let's get back to Nea. Okay, you you noticed this thing, this article that was written about you, and then you went even harder into it. from the marketing side of things. I think it would be interesting to hear about like how you saw that, how you planned that out, like your plan of action to like you know double down on this trend or just this little signal you got.

So basically I was really surprised how this person can get 7 million views. So I also wrote an article about open claw and how to use it with posties. I had 200 followers and I got half a million views also and I realized that X started to become an interest [music] platform. If there is a few people that are looking for a specific type of content and I talk about this content, X will try to show me to that specific people and because Open Claw was just like booming on X.

So I was like, okay, this is like a really big opportunity because everything now that I'm going to write is going to be shown to so many people. And I wrote another article with another half a million views. And then I was like, okay, but there is something even more here because why articles are so booming compared to posts. It was some kind of thing that X is trying to push articles because people spend more time reading articles compared to normal posts.

So I was like, okay, I'm in the peak of all this trending stuff. Let's try to scale this article stuff. So I just like go to these other companies that getting so many views and stuff. Click on view activity. So all these influencers started to send a message. Can I book you for a paid promotion repost? Of course, a paid promotion tag like with X and everything. And then every time I have an article with Mud Creator, I have like 20 other reposters reposting the article.

So, it's just insane what you can do with a little bit of growth hacks. First of all, I love that you sort of like reverse engineered this multiple times. And I think a lot of people watching this might be like, you were just lucky with the open cloth thing. What advice would you have to them now that you've experienced this on how they could potentially do the same? find a trend and build a million dollar business like you have

for sure. So I think first of all almost any possible SAS should have an API. Just take all your public API create an MD file and make it ready for agents. All you need to do once you have the MD file is to list it in every possible place that you can. So you can go to Claude and Chad GPT marketplaces and you can list your MD file there. And this is exactly what I did and brought me also so much traffic. [music] The second thing is you should build before and then wait for the trend to happen and not build when the trends happen.

And this is what I did. So you can build right now and just like wait for the thing t
