Product: 30 Hour Jobs

Yesterday I worked on marketing the most recent interview and blog post as well as do some cold outreach for new companies interested in hiring for 30 hour positions.

I successfully reached #1 on Hacker News which earned about 5,000 unique visits to the blog. Alim with this I saw about 40 newsletter signups. I also received 3 emails from people interested in what I’m working on which I love.

Today I will be starting to think about the redesign for v1 of the site. I have lots of ideas, and want to start illustrating what they might look like.

This month I'm working on growing Indie Hackers' milestones feature.

✅ YESTERDAY I worked on some technical stuff to move our transactional emails over from SparkPost to Postmark.

🏆 RESULTS were small. Technical work doesn't accomplish much for growth. But in the long run, it should up our email open rates, and therefore our traffic to the milestones.

👷‍♀️ TODAY I don't have time to do any milestones growth stuff. Got write lots of code for groups and prep for my trip to Atlanta tomorrow! So it's looking like this challenge will be, at most, 29 days of growth for me. 😝 Hopefully I can find something small to do before tonight and come back and edit this comment.

Day 11 for Pulsemetrics.io

✅ Yesterday was coping with the fallout (not the best word, makes it sound like a failure) of our launch on Product Hunt along with adding our site to a few more "product comparison" sites. Now we're trying our best to keep in touch with all these new signups so that we can keep our users involved in our growth.

🏆 Pulse got another 6 signups, we're killing it right now on this front and need to keep our foot on the gas. So far one reply from the emails we sent out to new signups who never set their site up, we'll walk him through the process next week.

👷‍♀️ I've put a few other jobs on the back burner because of the time I've put in on Pulse, so I'll probably go back to the investment side of things for the most part today. Event planning is a must, I've got two that still need to be worked on before the end of July.

Danger World (https://danger.world)
✅ Pushed out a 64-bit update ahead of the Google Play Store deadline.
🏆 Still at 94 user accounts.

👷‍♀️ Print 2 Press - Instructional Classes (https://www.print2press.com/classes)
👷‍♀️ Releasing new games gets press for both games, right? 😅 I had a bug I couldn't let go after some of my app store research yesterday, and long story short, I have about half of the prototype of a new game done.

Gem Trader is the working title of that game. I have a mailing list at https://taormina.io if anyone wants to know when that comes out.

I had a whole little stock market in mind, but I'll probably ship an offline version first and maybe offer networking as a multiplayer add-on later. This might be my excuse to open source a "flutter_game_center" plugin if I can't find one.
