👋 Hi everyone,
And welcome to our new builders.
If you're new to me, I'm Victor, Serial Builder for 2 and a half years on Twitter.
I build side businesses.
Sometimes I win, often I lose.
And I share my lessons and learnings in this newsletter and a business idea.
For this edition, I would like to thank Naïlé with Magic Post for sponsoring this newsletter:
Magic Post : Say goodbye to the hassle of LinkedIn content creation. Meet MagicPost — your AI-powered tool for crafting standout LinkedIn posts in a flash.
They said, "stick to what you know." I chose to learn what I didn't.
Now, I'm not just a solopreneur, I'm a lifelong student.
The duel of the mindsets
It was in the crisp autumn of 2017 when I stumbled upon the concept that became the bedrock of my every endeavor henceforth – the Growth Mindset.
A contrast to the Fixed Mindset, which held me back like an anchor to a drifting ship.
Every budding idea was met with a wall of 'what ifs' and 'but thens'.
The fixed mindset was my comfort zone, yet a cage to the fluttering wings of creativity.
The Growth Mindset, on the other hand, was an invitation to a boundless sky.
Here’s a little breakdown for those of us still getting acquainted with these terms:
🧠 Fixed Mindset: Believes abilities, intelligence, and talents are fixed traits. Fears failure and shies away from challenges, seeing them as threats rather than opportunities.
🌱 Growth Mindset: Embraces challenges as chances for growth. Believes abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work. Sees effort as the path to mastery.
🔥 My hack : The next time you hit a roadblock, don’t just stop there. Take a detour, learn a new route, and you might discover vistas you never knew existed.
Burn the words “I can’t” from your vocabulary.
Replace it with “I can’t yet, but I will.”
And see the magic unfold.
The idea of the week
I know how to make landing pages.
However, I like to get outside feedback from professionals on my landing pages.
💡The idea: A landing page roaster marketplace
The offer: Experts who roast landing pages in video.
The demand: Freelancers and indie makers who want expert feedback on their landing pages.
✅ Advantage for the offer:
Offer a loss leader (not free) by roasting a landing page
Upsell with landing page creation
Create credibility
✅ Advantage for the demand :
Objective feedback to improve conversion
Don't pay a copywriter to write your landing page
Don't pay a designer to design your landing page
🚀 No-code stack for the MVP:
An Airtable to host roasters (the offer)
A Tally form for the request
Hand-connection to start and validate traction
Build in public time
This month I set myself the #1ktober challenge on Twitter
Make $1000 in a month.
The objective was to reach this goal with cta.page.
A tool to generate personalized pages for your prosepction videos.
But it didn't go as planned.
I still reached this goal, but with another product:
without landing page
no ads
not on twitter
just a form with Tally to understand my audience and a notion page to describe the project with CTA
distribution channel : Linkedin
Following a strong request on Linkedin to create a training course to learn how to illustrate your thoughts.
🔥The lesson: if an opportunity presents itself, take it.
So next step:
Scale the visual training
Launch cta.page
The perfect tool

Hey Victor, if you ever get to build the "landing page roaster marketplace" I am game to support it and give it exposure. Good idea.
Actually I have already seen something moving in that direction:
