Ahrefs warning me via email that my monthly subscription is about to bill me again is so nice. The heads up just feels so courteous and makes me even more inclined to keep the service.

It’s honestly so cool to see TrendSpotter.blue alive and well after not touching it for a couple months. In that time, it’s grown from a DR of 2 to 7! That’s something haha I’m planning on giving it a big update in a week or so, so stay tuned 👀

I removed 77 subscribers from my EasyStartupIdeas.com mailing list. Why? Because mailing list hygiene is important for a newsletter’s performance. These subscribers hadn’t opened a single email for a month (I send 3 per week), and were negatively impacting my open rates.

Sooo.... Updating my Bluesky username to my custom domain broke TrendSpotter.blue for a day or two. This happened because TrendSpotter's bsky authentication process relies on my username and I forgot to update it in the code... Oops Luckily someone noticed, let me know, and it's fixed now! 😅

Is it “shiny object syndrome,” or just feeling the pull of your true calling a little stronger with each new project? 🤔

Don't compare your chapter 1 to someone else's chapter 20. We see overnight success. We don't see the sleepless nights. We see someone standing tall. We don't see the stumbling it took to get there. The struggles are temporary tangles on the long thread to success.

So how many domain names do you currently own… Do you even really know? 😅 How many do you actually use? 👀 I think I have 5 but only use 3 - not as bad as I thought.

When’s your guys preferred time to work on your project? 🌄 early mornings 👨‍💼after your 9-5 🌌 late nights I have fridays off from my day job so working late Thursday night and then all Friday morning is always the best uninterrupted periods of time for me 😅🤓
