We get plenty of free trials. Almost nobody converts. If you were me, what would you look at first?

Split trial users by the job they came to do, then look at who reached the first useful outcome. Logins alone won’t tell you where the trial is breaking.

01The work, in context
Be part of the conversation. Again. And again.
More conversations than you have time to follow. We find the ones where you have something worth saying.
Your market doesn’t stop talking.

Renewal day overwhelmed our webhook endpoint. More retries just made it worse. Anyone been here?

Validate and queue the event before acknowledging it. Move billing work to a worker, with concurrency your database can handle.

Same Stripe event, delivered twice. Our business logic ran twice too. Fun Friday.

Track the event IDs you’ve processed. Make the business action idempotent too, so a retry doesn’t repeat the work.

Our Stripe invoice event arrived before the subscription event. Is that normal or is something broken on our side?

Stripe doesn’t guarantee event order. Fetch missing objects from the API, and test your handler with deliveries deliberately shuffled.

The same integration question comes up in every demo. Product thinks it’s obvious. Clearly it isn’t.

Show the first successful request, including the setup before it. The missing step is often something your team stopped noticing months ago.

Our webhook dashboard says “delivered.” The customer says nothing happened. Both can apparently be true.

Log receipt and completion separately, tied to the same event ID. A successful delivery only tells you the endpoint accepted the request.

We’re rewriting the integration docs. What’s the one thing you wish more developer tools included?

A complete example with a failure path. Show what happens when the request times out, how to retry, and how to check whether the action already ran.

You can. You’d still own the research, accuracy, editing, publishing, and daily engagement. With us, that’s our job. You bring the expertise. We handle the work.
02How do I know this won’t be generic AI content?
We build from what you actually know: your interview, your product, your examples, and the questions your buyers ask. We check the details and ask when context is missing. If a reply doesn’t add anything useful, it doesn’t belong under your name.
03How involved do I need to be?
One 45-minute conversation a month. No preparation, and you write nothing. Review content before it goes out, or leave publishing to us. We agree on your voice, topics, and boundaries at the start.
04Are you just commenting everywhere?
No. We find conversations that matter to your buyers and contribute something specific: an answer, an example, or a practical next step. Repeated exposure only helps if people are glad you showed up.
05Which platforms do you work on?
We work where your buyers spend time. LinkedIn, X, and Reddit are common starting points. We can adapt to other relevant platforms and communities. We agree on the channels and accounts with you.
06When can we start, and how long am I committing?
We aim to have your first content live in week two, after the interview and setup. You can cancel any month.
