Hello IH'ers,

Last week was my first full week on Career Switch To Coding. Thanks for all the support so far, here is a Monday morning recap and plan post.

What I did:

• Launched landing page
• Wrote 10,000 works of the book (about halfway through I think)
• Started Tweeting (@allthecode_)
• Announced landing page launch on my Instagram (@allthecode)
• Setup MailChimp, wrote a welcome email, created welcome automation
• Completed another 2 sections of Amy Hoy's YearOfHustle
• Worked the last day of my old job (the new one starts on 2nd Aug so I have 4 full weeks)
• Wrote a couple of posts here on Indie Hackers and got amazing comments from people
• Asked 7 people if I can interview them for site content

Results:

• 495 visits to the website
