- Indie developer kristoffwu says he got started with SEO/overseas sites via gefei55's newsletter, earning only scattered ad revenue for a year.
- Inspired by a trending-keyword site idea shared in gefei55's community around China's National Day, he launched a site in half a day — and went from first sale to $100 in daily revenue in under 24 hours, just 3 days after launch.
- gefei55 amplified the win, noting the dev found the opportunity from his Twitter leads — a replicable signal for indie makers chasing fresh search demand.
