Ok, done. Just gave my team and director my two weeks. that's it for my cushy software engineering job. Big paychecks eviscerated. Cool. Backs against the wall. Let's fight.

Add a feedback dropdown directly on signup!. I ask users where they heard about us (google, reddit, etc). Almost everyone selects an option. This gives a ton of feedback. As opposed to a feedback button in the dashboard that hasn't been answered in 2 months.

Day in day out in front of a computer. Literally all day. Non stop slog and grind, obsessing over details, constantly coding, making decisions, customer support, optimizing ads and seo, figuring out mistakes, trying different approaches, doubling down on winners, realizing you.

Reminder that absolute focus is critical. No consuming social media slop, no endless scrolling, no cyclical conversations. Everything is pointed and directed!!!.

In terms of determining whether to add the user to the workflow or not, in this case, I store the last time they were added to the workflow in my database. If more than 3 months, add them to workflow. This prevents users getting spammed with emails constantly as they make.

DEAD SIMPLE n8n startup guide. Bookmark and make your first workflow now (do not procrastinate) 🔖🔥. (step 4 below is serious sauce - not clickbait). I run an ecom style business. I had no "abandoned cart flow". Huge missed opportunity. I'm sure anyone reading this can think of

Accurately tracking conversions with google tags and just started running search ads. First campaign will target people who are afraid of losing text messages and looking for a backup. Second campaign will target people who want personalized and sentimental gifts. Not running.

If you're using google auth with supabase, make sure that your account is verified in the google cloud verification center. This will then display your app name and logo instead of the supabase id and domain when users are signing in.

Changed my landing page to just show a video of the product as soon as you land. what an improvement. The biggest selling point of the whole business and I wasn't showing it off. Why do we put basic things off for so long. .

ALWAYS put a reminder in your calendar for any event you have to attend. Lesson learned 😭.

Another big improvement that took me a second to do that I should have done months ago. Saving selected message progress for any chat. Previously, if a user was sifting through thousands of messages, they'd have to do everything in a single session or else their selected

First impressions with claude code after a few days of use. it's pretty baller. Once your claude md file is set up properly and generated code follows existing conventions, adding new features is a breeze. This is really all worth it for opus which seems to have the sauce.

Bought my 2003 Lexus ES300 in college for $4300 cash. It has been nothing but a blessing. 22 year old car. That thing is so reliable and comfortable to drive, it doesn't even cross my mind to look at other cars.

Just added a mobile only offer. Why?. Creating and ordering a book is currently locked to a computer. I'm hoping that by linking this page on all socials, mobile users will feel a sense of urgency to buy the discounted gift card now, and then already be invested to make the

Just added gift cards. Some customers have wanted them and it's another item to sell. The main reason however is I want to capture sales on mobile. The actual book creation process is still locked to a computer. I'm hoping from TikTok or Instagram, I can offer special mobile

Uninstalled X from my phone last night. By far my biggest time sink and excuse.

Answering customer service emails is such a good time to lock in the sale. If you answer with speed, friendliness, and give good direction, a customer has way more trust in the process and you build a personal connection for the sale. Then later, your chances for a review are.

Yes I'm still here, heavy lurking. Been having record breaking months. Business is for real now. Haven't been posting just because I didn't feel like it, but think I'm gonna start again, it definitely made me accountable.
