Hey all 👋 hope you're doing well!

I recently made a core change to the Huzzler feed and would love to get your opinion on this: now all posts are shown on the homepage (including those that have been detected to include promotional material).

Previously these promotional posts where only shown on the #showcases page, not on the homepage.

This makes the site feel more "alive" and gives your projects more expose, with the slight downside of having more promotional material on the homepage, which may come across as spam.

What do you guys think about this change? Keep showing promotional posts on the homepage or skip it?

Any feedback (also related to other stuff) is greatly appreciated 😁

Thanks all for being on Huzzler! Love this community 🧡

Happy holidays 🎉🎄

Hey Huzzlers, Vincent here 👋 (founder of Huzzler).

Working on Huzzler for the last 6 months (2400+ founders, 1400+ products), I've started seeing a pattern: incredible products with 0 customers. It's truly saddening. So much potential, but people don't even know these products exist.

Most founders try to post on Huzzler, Product Hunt, X, Reddit , try ads.. but no results.

So I started wondering, what exactly is the problem? not enough information? bad products? Badly configured ads? ... No influence?

None of that. What worked for me (to grow Huzzler) was creating a system that forced me to:

• Define ONE narrow ICP (stop selling to everyone)
• Update messaging to resonate with that ICP
• Follow a daily routine of tasks
• Build a permanent Knowledge Base

This is why I'm building the Customer Engine: it's a system specifically Built for B2B SaaS founders who need their first paying customers. It works for any kind of B2B SaaS. You can see all features on the website

Why $499 one-time instead of a subscription?

The goal was to create an asset (the Customer Engine) you buy once and profit from forever. No monthly fees eating away at your profits.

E.g. If Customer Engine helps you land just 2 customers at $45/month, it pays for itself in 3 months. After 12 months, that's a $5,000+ ROI.

And that's for only ONE product. You get unlimited projects with lifetime access, so you can use it for every SaaS you build. The ROI compounds. Plus you get all future updates.

A few years ago, I bought a domain in the crypto space. The goal was to create a website like Coinmarketcap but for smaller coins. I invested $500 in the domain and another $500 in hosting, ghost.io, development..

I never really got around to completing the product, but I kept renewing the domain, as I initially paid $500 for it and didn't want to lose the domain.

Now a few months ago, I saw that the domains "estimated value" was $6K. I thought this was total bs and listed it anyways, thinking I have nothing to lose.

And to my surprise, it recently sold for $6K. I'm super happy I decided to at least try to sell it. It was essentially just $6k "sitting" there in my portfolio.

So if you own any domains which you don't plan to use, they might be worth something 😉 Hope this helps some of you

Finally hit 1,000 products launched for Huzzler!

What I learned most is that small, consistent habits, even on tough days, lead to results.

Big thanks to all early members.

I just added promotional emails to Huzzler and reminded myself why I use Laravel and why it beats the javascript ecosystem for so many tasks.

• Integrate with Resend in 3 mins
• Queue mails with rate limiting and auto retries
• Write templates in markdown and use variables from my models

Sure php is an "ugly" language and sure you can do the same in Next.js but you'd need 20 external dependencies and manage them all.

In Laravel, you also have (out of the box):

• Queue workers: background jobs
• Task scheduler: Cron jobs without touching crontab
• Mail system: Supports multiple drivers, markdown templates, queuing built in
• Built-in notification system: Email, sms, slack,.. whatever
• Eloquent ORM: Arguably the best ORM out there
• Authentication: social logins, 2FA,... you name it
• Database migrations

While most js devs are out there in dependency hell, Laravel developers are shipping features.

Some of you on Huzzler may have seen these notifications pop up 👀

As of today, you can start earning $$$ in ad credits by posting helpful content on Huzzler 😎

Every day, our admins check for content that genuinely helps other founders and reward generously!

Hey Huzzler community!

After watching 1000+ of you launch here, I've started noticing a common pattern among SaaS launches:

Month 1-6: Build incredible product ✅

Month 7: Launch on Huzzler and get great feedback

Month 8: "No customers.. Maybe I need more features?" 🤔

Month 12: Still struggling with real customers... 😰

Here's the thing, almost everyone in this community can build. You're all incredibly talented.

We try posting on Product Hunt, tweeting, building in public... but our acutal customers are not browsing these sites. They're busy doing their jobs at companies.

That's why I'm building Customer Engine: a systematic approach to getting customers where you get exact daily tasks to get your first B2B customers.

Instead of: "What should I do today to get customers?"

You get: "Send 8 LinkedIn requests to marketing managers using template #3"

And you can actually see what's actually working for other founders (with real numbers).

Question for you guys: What's your biggest problem after launching your product? Is it getting the first real customers (who are not founders themselves)?

Would love your thoughts!

Hey everyone! Over the past months I have been silently working on a Huzzler 2.0 launch and today, it's time to launch it! 🎉

I've been interviewing founders and listening to your feedback.

These were your biggest complaints on other platforms (X, Reddit,..)

• AI generated content
• Fake gurus with fake MRR claims (course sellers, boilerplate sellers..)
• Your posts get "lost in the noise"
• Bots (+ AI reply bots)

I've been working on a few ways to mitigate these complaints and my goal is to make Huzzler a platform where you can actually learn from other successful founders. No gurus. No fakes. No AI generated content.

New features in Huzzler 2.0

Say goodbye to fake gurus 👏

On platforms like X or Reddit, we often see posts like this:

Made it to $12,000 MRR selling AI customer support agents

A lot of times, these posts and MRR charts are fake and the person is just selling a boilerplate or course.

With Huzzler 2.0, every revenue claim has to be verified. You can verify revenue by connecting your payment provider (for example, Stripe). When you create a post with a revenue claim, our AI moderation will detect it and remove if you don't have the verified revenue.

A strict no-AI space 🤖

A complaint I've been seeing more and more on X and Reddit is the AI-generated content and bots. It's often generic and you can't really learn from it, as the best knowledge comes from someone's personal experience.

Starting from today, AI generated content is forbidden. Our moderators have actively banned people who create full posts with AI.

Beautiful, personalized user profiles 🌍

I've improved the layout and visuals of user profiles. You can now add a country, location and banner to make your profile stand out.

You can also view a revenue chart per product. Meaning you quickly check out how much someones earning and if they are telling the truth.

Phone verification (coming soon)

While we now don't have a problem with bots, we working on adding phone verification for creating posts or commenting. This will introduce some friction, but honestly, I don't mind it. We value quality over quantity.

That's all guys. Let me know if you'd like to see other features on Huzzler and I'll add them to the t-do list

I have an idea for an app that would help businesses who struggle with converting and transforming files.

An example would be: "I need to convert this excel sheet of leads into this specific XML format so I can import these leads into my CRM"

I know you can do this using chatGPT / Loveable / n8n,... but I'm looking towards building a solution for people who are less technical.

Now my question is, has anyone on here tried validating such a specific idea / problem by sending cold emails to businesses? If so, what was your experience and reply rate? Any tips are welcome
