WORK IN PROGRESS: Happy Endings
What non-scalable things are you doing for growth? What's working out?
I'm manually contacting chicks on competitor sites and asking them to republish their work. Questionable tactics, for sure. And perhaps even more questionable once I automate the process.
I'm alternately racked with guilt and "by-any-means-necessary". But it's working. What's your take?
I wouldn't personally be hung up on stepping on a competitor's toes. Especially if they are well established websites.
From the viewpoint that author's should own and control the content they produce, I don't feel there is a moral issue with this tactic as long as you're re-publishing with the author's permission.
If you were re-publishing without permission, that would be very different and not at all OK. You should also watch out that you're not putting the author's in a situation where they're breaking a previous contract they signed.
The best would be to get them writing original content on your site, which I'm sure is the goal. Are they staying on your platform after they've gotten the first taste of it?
Thanks for chiming in!
To be clear, I'm absolutely not posting on behalf of potential customers. And... my site is a dating app, not a publishing app. I've asked chicks to simply publish a first chapter. They could use a prompt for all I care! (Although their own original work is infinitely better!)
As for the stick... too early to tell. But despite the sausage fest, potential matches are starting to interact with each other. February will be an important month to see if I can bring more chicks to the yard and I if I can encourage more interactions...
EPIC
By end of 2019:
100 Users for ScheduledMemo.com: 3/100
10 Paying Customer for AutomatedApi: launch pending
By end of January:
LAUNCH ScheduledMemo.com DONE!
Re-evaluate tasks for my other two projects and refocus on Automated Api
By End of February:
Refactor some ScheduledMemo code into more reusable parts so I can shift it into Automated Api pipeline.
Get Automated API up and running with a limited Alpha group.
YESTERDAY
✓ Updated all azure functions in the backend to follow slack distribution guidelines
✓ extended email functionality
✓ published website and set up SLL with LetsEncrypt
✓ Cut fancy email templates...its supposed to be a simple unobtrusive too for myself and freely shared for now so simple is better imho
TODAY
Post a more formal launch announcement on IH
Launch Scheduled Memo on Product Hunt
Begin Reviewing tasks for AutomatedApi
Provision VM host and start staging Automated API artifacts for testing.
KUDOS: @vimalin for creating a useful tool that I would never have had the guts to go for.
JUST FINISHED: ScheduledMemo.com
WORK IN PROGRESS: AutomatedApi.com, WallabyVault.com
Thanks @jpusateri I really hope that Vimalin can help many people.
For me it was a logical step up from helping people at the VMware forums. Something which I have been doing for over a decade on a daily bases. As a result I do tend to know a bit about VMware Virtual Machines and because of that I also knew that a backup product was missing for the VMware desktop products.
Having said that, I have no idea if Vimalin ever takes off...
For the moment I am dedicating my time on extending and improving the product.

Kudos to @jimbol for going out of his way in the last standup to ask his friend for advice on a subject I'm interested in.
Anyone have advice on privacy policies that factor in mailing lists? (Or might this not be the right place to ask questions?)
I know this is generally an early in the day thing, but it feels more right for me at the end of the day. :)
EPIC:
February 18th - beta
Today:
I spent a good 2 hours today working on parts of the extension that were not absolutely necessary for the beta launch. I have a really bad habit of wanting things "right" that don't need to be right at the moment. I'm a little frustrated with myself.
Tomorrow:
Kudos: to everyone for holding the course and being here to support each other
