Rebrand + Reached 10 Interviews + Banned from LinkedIn

ProjectHatch.co (previously nathangrieve) just passed 10 interviews!

I chose to rebrand from a domain using my personal name due to receiving feedback that people don't want to share content with someone else's name attached.

Very pleased to have 11 interviews on the site - they are interviews with founders of interesting companies and I'm pleased with the way they have turned out.

The interviews involved lot of outreach, lots of editing and lots of being rejected.

My linkedin account was banned - all i have been told is that i violated TOS. Two days ago I gave access to a VA to help with outreach so it must be due to either adding too many people or logging in from IP's in London and Bangladesh simultaneously.

I tried to build in systems as early possible but perhaps overshot it here. Now going through their appeals process and hope to get the account back. Does anyone have any tips here?

Ive changed the layout of the site (adding overview stats to the top of posts etc..) and early results show that people are reading more pages per session (1.3 before 2.1 after).

Been looking at the formats that both @csallen and @patwalls use and content distribution from @harrydry. (Pat has a great personal blog patwalls.co, enjoyed Harry's interview on the indie hackers podcast https://www.indiehackers.com/podcast/115-quick-chat-with-harry-dry and Courtland says a lot of good stuff here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR4nKgDnPHs)

Goals for this month:

• Twitter - create threads with most interesting questions and answers, try and find a automation/outsource.
• 15 new interviews
• 10,000 sessions
• Target 3 PV's session by adding "read next" and creating an interesting about me page.
• Continue to work on branding - I want to give Project Hatch a unique feel, will be making incremental changes to differentiate.
• Refine outreach processes and avoid getting banned on another platform!

UPDATE: Received and update from LinkedIn support. Seems like it was due to allowing another person access. Should be sorted soon.
