Learnings

  • I need to automate as many things I can. As a solo founder, I get to push each day further by not having to do 1 less thing
    ** This came about because I would run the scrapper, but I would sometimes forget to run this if I’m traveling or on the weekend. This motivated me to find a solution. It was Heroku Scheduler (free plugin but tiered)
  • Scheduling time for Marketing specific task has helped me to spend more time promoting my site instead of solely focusing on the next feature.
