Cool to see that the only page with more impressions than the home page are the only blog posts generated by @HeyEcho.xyz 🔥

Nothing kills momentum like an AI tool that fails halfway through writing your blog post.

Here’s how we fixed that — and 3 more frustrating problems — in the latest @HeyEcho.xyz update 🛠️👇

1/

Stop generating blog posts with AI.

Unless you have a strategy.

Most AI tools can write.

Almost none tell you what to write—or why it matters.

That’s where @HeyEcho.xyz just leveled up. 🧵

Just some small updates for HeyEcho, but still useful ones!

📖 Title slug: the title slug is usually used as part of the link, so now you easily copy it
❌ Post deletion: to better organize the blog posts, you can now delete those you don't care about

2. @heyecho.xyz is great at producing trustworthy, high-quality, educational content.

This fits great with the top-of-funnel (TOFU), where users seek reliable and in-depth information.

This is possible thanks to its deep research capabilities that reference reliable sources.

1. I thought a lot about @heyecho.xyz's positioning last week.

So far, it was positioned as a blog post generator that produces human-sounding, SEO-optimized blog posts.

It was basically screaming "I'm yet another blog post generator as the other hundreds out there." 😂

I’ve just added a small feature to @heyecho.xyz!

You can easily copy the raw markdown of your generated blog posts with a single click. ✨

No more formatting issues when copying from the rich editor. Just click, copy, and paste into your blogging platform.

🚀 Excited to share a new feature I just shipped for @heyecho.xyz!

One of the biggest challenges with AI-generated content is trust—can you really rely on the facts in the blog post? I wanted to tackle that head-on.

What prevents you from working like this?

I’d say common sense 🤣

😭 I miss my monitors
💺 not ergonomic (luckily I started training my hamstrings flexibility)
☀️ super annoying reflection
🔌 sockets
🛜 poor connection

When it comes to marketing, outbound, and promotion in general I’ve been lacking consistency. 😭

Let’s see if a habit tracker helps. 🚀

Sometimes you just need to be more structured and consistent in promoting your product.

If you share valuable content on Reddit it could be a goldmine for promoting your product.

I'm going to experiment with the next level: owning a sub-reddit. 🚀

It's quite daunting tbh, but who knows, this is the first time I'm doing it. 😅

It’s funny that my most profitable product is also the one that I’m not updating the longest 😂

But right now I’m all-in on HeyEcho.xyz 🎯

Generating a high-quality blog post is great!

But if you cannot save them, or edit, or list, etc. it's a bit meh...

The first step for HeyEcho.xyz to have some CMS functionality is almost there! 🤩

One-click onboarding for workspace creation! 🚀

🚀 Now HeyEcho.xyz supports generating the hero image! 🥳

I improved a lot the generated text! 💪

Next steps:
- further refine the text,
- prepare onboarding,
- start getting feedback from real users.

🚀 A great achievement! ✨

HeyEcho.xyz is improving daily!

Not only the generated blog posts do not sound AI (even if still being marked as likely AI), but they use data and fact-checked ones. 💪 (18 facts checked)

I'm using Originality for plagiarism and fact-checking.

If you get scared of competition you probably won't ship anything 😅

Try to take the positive side of it: if some are successful it means there's demand.

Are you even training if you don’t burn 700cal per session? 😂

Can’t inspire with MRR posts yet, but don’t forget to neglect your health folks 💪

I did that in the past, and I regretted it. A lot.

I ended up fully breaking my Achilles tendon last year. 😅

Now back to #buildinpublic !🫡

I created an event for each subreddit worth promoting my SaaS. Different colors for different strictness on self-promotion.

- Green: none/low
- Yellow: mid
- Red: high/very high

For Yellow/Red just focus on providing value. Be always aware of the rules, but it will pay off.
