Day 4 #100daysofmarketing
• more SEO-ing - new blog post (but doesn't really address search intent or keywords)
• "build once, sell twice" - repurposing old content from 200wad in new ways, as blogpost and Twitter threads

I learned about how @dvasallo was using the forced concision on Twitter to articulate ideas in an information-dense manner. Tweets which he then uses as a springboard to writing ebooks that he sells on Gumroad.

The way he explained it: High information density leads to good quality content, which in turn results in a high quality info product.

That’s a fascinating use of constraints, isn’t it?

The 280 character limit constraint makes for economical expression. The most bang for buck in the shortest, least amount of words possible. Like poetry. Poetry for work, entrepreneurship, health, productivity.

• Scheduled "good morning" tweets for the next 1 week,
• Scheduled author quotes about goals for the whole of Sep

This is the last of the Twitter threads turned blogposts. Next, will scour through my old 200wad writings for writings about writing, streaks, and writing habits!

Day 3 #100daysofmarketing - more SEO-ing. Added meta data to my blog so that social previews show up better.

To stop the auto transition, look for this HTML code:

More content to answer search intent about "how to make daily writing habit easy"

Day 2 #100daysofmarketing
- learned about using forced concision on Twitter to articulate ideas in an information-dense manner. High info density leads to good quality content.
- so instead of fleshing out the Twitter thread with fluff when writing out this blog post, I tried to not mess too much with it, and just added words where it wasn't as clear or concise.
- title headlines are the most important piece of attention real estate. I rewrote it 4-5 times to end at something that communicates the "during writing" part of the content well

Note to self: Add this to tutorial - how to add a carousel indicator

To integrate my plugins to a Carrd template, make design fit and all.

Maybe there's a market for making a SaaS/biz template that include my plugins - mobile navbar, accordion FAQs, pricing tables?!

• Hit $100 MRR, continued
• Start #100daysofmarketing
• Build on the organic growth of Plugins For Carrd
• Home desk setup

Day 1 #100daysofmarketing ! Setting intention, building in public

💵 Revenue:
– MRR: US$60 [No change]
– One-off revenue: ~ US$1515!

📈 [Highest growth product] Plugins For Carrd:
– added 43 users, sold 9 plugins (US$150), launched a new Nomadlist-style card listings plugin

🏑 [Most viral product ever] Tech for good
– Made safedistancing.sg in under 2h using good ol’ Carrd! Fastest ever in getting a MVP out, and it went VIRAL.
– Around $1k in patron support, 275k users, 466k page views, 4 new monthly patrons, 2 radio interviews

🐣 New products
– Created 2 new communities (5am creators, Carrd Chat) based off philosophy of community-first product development.

So overall, an August that went on to achieve much more in all other areas than the one area (Lifelog) that I initially wanted to achieve.

Mixed feelings about that.

Happy to have any growth at all, delighted at the unexpected growth in other products especially in tech for good, yet exasperated over failing to crack the Lifelog growth mystery.

Meaningful materialism. Invest in things that help me make more money.

So here’s some tools I’m considering investing in with my next pay cheque:

• A mesh office chair from Ergotune - cooling for tropical climate, and minutely adjustable for the right height
• I recently bought a seat cushion from Aliexpress that comes with fans built in - great for sitting longer! But still gets warm after about an hour. Considering getting a Moona as a water-cooled seat cushion!
• An adjustable sitting/standing desk, either from IKEA or local brands
• A mechanical keyboard from Keychron (probably the V7) - for better typing experience since I write sooo much (be it code or words)
• A monitor stand to raise the height of my laptop/desktop
• A better microphone, speakers and clip on webcam for Zoom calls/workshops
• Considering paying for subscription for Zoom and Miro, since I spend so much time on them now anyway
• Considering a new desktop iMac and M1 MBP, but likely won’t be possible till later this year or next

What else should I get?

• Converted a Twitter thread and fleshed it out further in a longer form blog post
• 1000+ words this time
• For SEO - based on search intent, answering search key word questions like "How to motivate myself to write daily"

One version of confidence is: “I’ve got this figured out.”

Another version is: “I can figure this out.”

The first is arrogant and close-minded. The second is humble and open-minded. Choose the latter.

Be humble about what you know, but confident about what you can learn. ~ @JamesClear
