Saeed Ezzati Unveiled

Saeed Ezzati is the founder and CEO of SuperPower Daily, an AI-focused newsletter. Before starting his entrepreneurial journey, Saeed worked as a Software Engineer at Copy.ai, Apartment List, and IBM.

He also launched WFH Team, a remote job marketplace, and Recpark, a facility management app. Saeed holds a Master's in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Texas at San Antonio.

The Making of Superpower

Saeed always had a knack for side projects.

When ChatGPT launched, he saw an opportunity to enhance the tool's organization and usability. This led to the creation of "SuperPower ChatGPT," a Chrome extension that offers features like syncing and searching history locally, exporting chats, creating folders, pinning messages, and accessing an extensive library of prompts.

Recognizing the potential to build an engaged user base, Saeed offered the extension for free. This strategy not only attracted users but also provided valuable feedback that helped him refine the product.

Strategy Secrets

To monetize his growing user base, Saeed initially considered ads but wanted to provide genuine value.

So he came up with a genius idea to put a newsletter within the extension. He created a newsletter, focusing on AI news and tools, which he knew would interest his audience. This approach allowed him to generate revenue while maintaining user trust and engagement.

 Growth Surge

The newsletter quickly became a hit because Saeed focused on providing real value.

Users found the content convenient and relevant, which spurred rapid growth. When subscribers wanted to access the newsletter outside the extension, Saeed expanded to platforms like Beehiiv, which broadened his reach and significantly increased revenue.

Now, Saeed's newsletter earns between $100,000 and $150,000 per year, far exceeding his initial goals. His story highlights how crucial it is to understand your audience and consistently deliver value.
