ZweimalFreude

The list is sooo long. I learned about marketing, Facebook, user acquisition, landing pages, email marketing, and so on. I also picked up a new web framework Django and I started the blog with Hugo static site generator (not so happy about that one). The best is, I made new contacts, new friends, and in general the whole process is just so beneficial for myself.

Well, I realized quickly that from a marketing perspective, once I reached out to my personal network, that that’s probably it in terms of business growth. It is one of things I struggle with. I anticipated being slow on marketing and that I have to learn a lot, because I have no experience doing marketing. What I did not expect is that I actually do not enjoy social media and marketing on social media. Currently, I play around to find a way for myself to enjoy and embrace that more, but it is definitely a struggle and an obstacle.

A lot of fun. I love building! I actually released the first version just a few hours after building it. I was a bit embarrassed, because the design was not as beautiful and polished as I would have liked it. But I wanted to push myself. I wanted to start. To release and work from there. Releasing that early also took all the pressure out. Because, I said to myself “this is not even a side project”. This is a fun project. This is not too serious. Releasing it looking like a fun project made it clear to myself, that it is okay to just work on it for fun.
