    I hope to grow IH by about 5% in February. So far we're on track to grow by about 10%, thanks in part to Google suddenly decide to include lots of IH posts in their Discover feature.

    Yesterday and today I worked adding recommended links to the sidebar when viewing a post or milestone. If you're viewing a post, it shows more posts from that author + either more posts from that group (if the post is in a group) or trending posts from the rest of the site (if the post isn't in the group). If you're viewing a milestone, it shows today's milestones leaderboard.

    Making room for these links required some redesign work on the rest of the post page (moving the author below the title, etc.). I think it looks better than it ever has in the past. I've probably tweaked the design of post pages more than any other page on the site, because I really want posts to look good enough for people to consider using IH as a blogging platform like Harry Dry does. Of course there are lots of other changes I need to do to get that to happen besides just aesthetic design work.

    My hope is that this will help people discover more interesting and useful posts from their favorite authors and topics on IH. It's also good real estate for us to promote various things in the future if we choose to do so.

    Janice I'm on a learning mode.

    You can imagine I'm a complete newbie: who I define as someone who has less than 1,000 subscribers and has not made her first $1,000 online.

    Yearly I make in the middle eight figures offline but yet to understand how to make one tenth of that online.

    I've written five books and developed a couple of products for online sales but none is generating a dime.

    I recently learned I was putting the cart before the horse by going for products first. I was made to understand the tripod of Message, Platform, and Audience,

    I have the message and platform but no audience. The solution?

    I've registered in two high end courses to learn how to get my 1000 true fans.

    To accomplish by end of February: the redesign of my website would have been completed - started over six moths ago.

    Yesterday I continued learning how to make irresistible offers to engage readers and convert to subscribers.

    Today I'm learning how to use demand matrix to segment customers.

    It's a long march to freedom.

    Thanks for asking Janice.

    I would appreciate feedback.

    Context: I'm working on Send a Postcard Online - making sending postcards online as easy as sending a text message 📩

    Every weekend (Saturday and Sunday) I offer 1 free physical postcard that can be sent to anyone in the US. Hopefully that's enough of an incentive to get early beta testers and gather feedback along the way.

    Visit sendapostcardonline.com/?cc=indiehacker - the link will automatically apply the coupon (if someone already hasn't claimed it yet — as of writing this no one has).

    Now on to the standup:

    What will you accomplish by end of February?

    I'm hoping to get a campaign ready with a popular Instagrammer by featuring their designs that people can send.

    What did you do yesterday to work toward your goal?

    I only work on the weekends 😌

    What will you do today?

    I'm going to try to polish up the confirmation page to allow a viral sharing mechanism. I've also gotten some feedback around making the "Complete Later" feature (where you don't need to know the recipient's address) more prominent.
