How I Gained 100K Followers in Under 3 Months
As someone who's built a thriving online business from scratch, I know firsthand how game-changing the right strategies can be.
After losing nearly everything in the FTX crypto collapse, I was determined to rebuild stronger than ever.
That's when I discovered the power of AI for content creation.
By leveraging AI tools and frameworks, I was able to:
Create a week's worth of high-quality content in just 1 hour
Skyrocket my audience growth to 100K followers in 65 days
Generate content that authentically resonated with my ideal audience
The results were so transformative that I knew I had to share my strategies with fellow solopreneurs.
And so, The AI Audience Accelerator was born.
Why Your Brand Names Matter (But Not As Much As You Think)
Let's get one thing straight:
Names are important.
Whether it's your business name, product line, or newsletter title, it's often the first impression you make on potential customers.
It's the foundation of your brand identity, and what people will (hopefully) be shouting from the rooftops when they fall in love with your offerings.
A great name can:
Grab attention faster than a cat video on TikTok
Convey your brand's personality/value quicker than a New York minute
Stick in people's minds like that annoying song you can't get out of your head
Take "The AI Solopreneur" for example. This name effectively combines two key elements:
"AI" - instantly communicating the focus on cutting-edge technology
"Solopreneur" - targeting a specific audience of solo entrepreneurs
It's clear, catchy, and immediately tells potential followers what they're going to get. What you see is what you get.
Or consider "Shopify" β
A name that cleverly combines "shop" with "simplify," perfectly encapsulating their mission to make e-commerce easier for business owners.
Another great example is "Slack" β
Short, punchy, and with a double meaning. It's both a term for casual conversation (which the platform enables) and an acronym for "Searchable Log of All Conversation and Knowledge."
But here's the kicker:
Your brand names are NOT the be-all and end-all of your success. They're not going to magically make your product better, your service more valuable, or your marketing more effective.
They're just pieces of the puzzle. Important pieces, sure, but not the whole picture.
THE HARSH TRUTH IS:
A mediocre business with great names will fail
A great business with mediocre names will succeed
So why do I see so many aspiring entrepreneurs get stuck in the naming phase?
It's simple: fear and perfectionism.
You're afraid of choosing the wrong name and dooming your venture before it even starts.
You're convinced that if you just keep brainstorming, you'll stumble upon that perfect, magical combination of words that'll guarantee your success.
Newsflash: That perfect name doesn't exist.
What does exist is a whole world of potential customers out there waiting for the solution only you can provide.
And every day you spend agonizing over names is another day they're left waiting.
So here's my challenge to you:
Stop using naming as an excuse not to start or expand.
Pick names that are good enough (we'll get to how in a second) and get moving. You can always rebrand later if you need to.
Remember: Done is better than perfect.
Now, let's talk about how AI can help you get unstuck and find names that are more than good enough β they might even be great.
The "Name Genius" Prompt
