Managed to get out an Instagram reel for stickerch.art today! Used a headline I wrote from the Breakthrough Copywriting book, with a promise after that I hope hooks people into clicking the link. Working on a couple other reels as well. #buildinpublic

Vacation - over Graduation & grad parties - done I wrote a bit of copy at the end of last week. Today I want to start putting that into practice, and actually scheduling out a few days' worth of posts on FB & Instagram for stickerch.art. #buildinpublic

Spent my time today creating a customer profile for the people I'm trying to market to for stickerch.art. Also created some sample headlines using the things I learned from Breakthrough Copywriting. Now updating my landing page with some new copy! #buildinpublic

Vacation is over! It was an amazing week off, and I feel very restored today. Time to get back to building! I have almost finished Breakthrough Copywriting, and am starting to write for stickerch.art using the things I've learned from that book. #buildinpublic

Unfortunately didn't net any free users during the two-week free period for stickerch.art. But all the same, I have now enabled the paywalling, so a subscription or purchase is now required to access the full version. #buildinpublic

No blog post today! This is the first week in 10 that I haven't written one. I had one planned, about the efficacy of the ads vs. my approach going forward, plus some insights from analytics. But I'm worn out from cleaning all day. Graduation tomorrow! #buildinpublic

After a cursory glance, I realized that my landing page bg image (with the squirrel and the tree) was over 5 MB! I scaled the image way down, so now it's smaller than 1 MB in size. I think this should help with the user experience on mobile. #buildinpublic

I added Vercel speed insights to my sticker chart app to try to diagnose my high bounce rate. Turns out the landing page is running slowly for some people. Gonna have to try to get that fixed before I go on vacation. #buildinpublic

Didn't really build today! Spent most of the day working on my FT job, and hanging out with my son, who is on summer break now. Still planning on writing content for while I am gone, but not gonna fret too much about it tbh. #buildinpublic

Really excited to dig into this book today. I plan to use what I learn from this for the content I'm writing to post while I'm gone, to promote the sticker chart app. His podcast is excellent, so I'm looking forward to it. #buildinpublic

My last full week before vacation! I'm going to focus this week on content writing and marketing for while I'm out. Haven't had much success with the ads so far, but going to try a different approach this week. #buildinpublic

Life and my real job kept me pretty busy today, so I didn't get much done. But I did manage to squeeze out a blog post! open.substack.com/pub/ryanbond... #buildinpublic

Busy day today! Haven't had a ton of time to do actual work, but I did manage to get a video edited and uploaded to FB/Instagram. Also created another ad, just testing out how that stuff works. #buildinpublic
