What they did
Launched SuperX in July 2025 with a standard X launch post: screen recording plus feature breakdown (32K views, 26 sign-ups). Then took a selfie at his laptop and posted a personal update that did not advertise the product (~46K views), which drove far more sign-ups than the launch post. Took it as the signal to keep posting personally.
What happened
Selfie post added $1,000 MRR in 24 hours vs 26 sign-ups from the demo launch post

- Effort
- Two posts
“The funniest thing was that, although that post wasn't advertising what SuperX was, that post drove way more sign-ups than the initial launch post did. And thanks to that post, we added $1,000 monthly recurring revenue in just 24 hours.”
