๐ YAAASSS! Got 1 new subscriber on Lifelog! From Twitter! From my content marketing efforts!
Got the "Just earned my first dollar off the internet" feeling!
$10/m might not sound like much, but that's such vital feedback when you've been slaving over marketing your product for weeks and weeks with no visible impact.
๐๐จ What a delight yet also relief!

Getting ahead on my content marketing tweets!

Thanks @sergio for providing that screenshot
๐ Instagram account for Lifelog is in bizniz!!! Our very first week.
A marketing experiment in progress, with help from an ex-200wad writer Rachel Lee. She's the brains behind all the content marketing on IG! First collab ever. Learning so much from her.

Organic sharing and conversation on Twitter
Back now to doing this! But this time what's different is that it's more intentional, not just going through the daily motion of it:
- Hunting down questions or complaints about starting a daily writing habit, and replying with my tweet thread
- Giving value, sharing feedback/ideas, riffing about writing habits of others
- Only doing this when on days when I do tweet my own content, so that it can reel in attention to my content

Tweeted out a thread of my Lifelog post
Want to take time now to publish my daily Lifelog posts as much as possible on Twitter. It's not an easy, direct copy and paste job. Very often I need to restructure/reorder my words differently in the tweet thread compared to the post.
Micro short form (on Twitter) works very differently from long form posts (on Lifelog). Need to write from a mobile-first, 240-char-tweet-oriented paradigm.

Day 104 - What feels easy to you but hard for others? https://golifelog.com/posts/what-feels-easy-to-you-but-hard-for-others-1618386063775
Learning.
Thatโs my answer to the title question.
I enjoy learning. I enjoy sharing my learnings from learning new stuff. I can imagine itโs probably not uncommon for the people to dislike learning...But thankfully that side of me didnโt get choked to death back in school. So I think I can do more of this when it comes to content marketing for Lifelog, or in fact, anything with regards to my indie hacking career.
Share what I learned. Show my mistakes. Vent about my struggles.

Letโs see how this goes! Onwards!

Experimented with a bolder writing approach for today's tweet thread - being not afraid to be contrarian
Forget writing habits. Just f**king commit.

Day 103 - Next level sleep biohacks https://golifelog.com/posts/next-level-sleep-biohacks-1618299280635
๐ง Tweeted out minimum viable content to test viability for longer blogposts
Starting on my minimum viable content approach today, after weeks of research on "how to develop a daily writing habit". Tweeting out content that I might want to expand into longer blogposts to test viability:
https://twitter.com/golifelog/status/1381809320266883079?s=20
Why? Because I realised maybe I can't stick to the original idea of writing ONE single be-all-end-all article. It will likely end up being a couple of separate, more opinionated articles, after which I then weave into one huge "ultimate guide" kinda reference article. Which is great - gives me more content to push, and it won't be overwhelming or banking too much on one article.

Planning and strategising for content marketing
Plans for now:
- Create smaller pieces of content from research/content so far, and post on Twitter to test how well received they will be
- Continue writing the 3 main blog pieces
- Continue collating feedback from remaining people
- No hurry, good things can wait, quality is key
Learnings:
It's week 4 of content marketing writing for Lifelog.
If this was coding up a feature, it would be one of the longest I ever spent. But since this is new work and I didn't have existing systems before this, I really took this long because I learning how to do it in the first place - reading, researching on process even while I was reading and researching on the topic. Setting up systems, trying to understand how to do the work. Figuring out what it means to do great work in this area to begin with.

Did more research on "how to develop a daily writing habit"
Found The Writing Cooperative on Medium - what a treasure throve! Also James Clear wrote so much about writing habits of other authors too.
๐ Had to add disclaimers and change site title to "Jason's Plugins For Carrd" because AJ said people confused it to be officially affiliated to Carrd
People got confused because it was "very professionally made". Trying to see this as a compliment despite now having to change my branding because of it.. ๐ง๐ค๐
Helped Carrd template user solve customization problems with accordion template
Ended up improving my template from this!
Day 102 - Don't rush, but don't wait https://golifelog.com/posts/dont-rush-but-dont-wait-1618211240308
So while my impatient self is driving me crazy expecting results or even published content right now, my more rational adult self says that thereโs no hurry. Good things can wait. Great content is worth the time, as much as as it needs, but not a minute more (just to keep procrastination in check).
Or as my favourite author James Clear said:
"A simple rule for life and work: Donโt rush, but donโt wait. Thoughtful action."
Thoughtful writing. Thoughtful execution.

Day 101 - Useful delusions https://golifelog.com/posts/useful-delusions-1618107475803
What useful delusions do you hold on to?
Some useful delusions I hold on to:
Entrepreneurship works - youโll never know for sure if your business idea would work, but at risk of being wrong and wasting time, effort or money, we do it anyway. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnโt.
The future will be better than the present - future forward optimism...If the future isnโt worth living towards, then what is? The delusion that the future will always turn out better motivates me to strive harder towards that future I want.
Call it useful delusions. Or radical optimism.
If it works for you, it works.

Researching Gumroad alternatives again
Flurly isn't working out. So back to the drawing board. Perhaps Checkoutpages might work - exploring and asking qns now.
But feel like creating my own now. I just need to hook up a simple payment-to-download flow: product page on Carrd with payment link > payment form from 3rd party payment platform like Payhere/Superpay > redirect to unique, one-off URL of download file page > download file
Use serverless functions? Proxies? I don't even know how to start ๐ค

Day 100 - Coming full circle at 100 https://golifelog.com/posts/coming-full-circle-at-100-1618040492580
Itโs uncanny how this time round on my second 100 day streak, Iโm again doing new things with my writings. Again, not knowing what to write. Struggling. Experimenting. Again, trying to push my writing to the next level. Hopefully fun will come next, as if did before. Fingers crossed that I will find my deeper why to this new way of writing.
Iโm talking about writing content for marketing Lifelog.
Itโs been a humbling experience, to learn anew again how to write, for a different audience. After writing daily for years I thought myself as a writer. But man do I feel like a newbie all over again now.
Full circle. There and back again.
Yet, not the same person I was then. Optimistic from lessons past that I will find a way, my way, through this new jungle.
