Most people don't realize that the success of their business depends on their nervous system.

It wants to keep you safe.
And coding more features feels safe.

4 self-sabotaging acts, you probably weren't aware of:

The best thing you can do is follow your passion, because only then will you be really good at it.
And if you're really good at it, every field is promising when you turn into the go-to expert in it.

Oh, astronomy is fascinating. I had this as a minor when I studied. I even participated in a project that researched Mira-stars 😂. The professor had fun putting me on that project too.

So many awesome topics there.

Everyone knows they should do data-first marketing.

But most people look at their numbers & go into emotional shutdown

The fix:
• remove your self-worth from the outcome
• treat it like a fun little experiment
• realize that the right diagnosis increases conversions fast

Another viral post here on bsky yesterday (>100 likes).

This time, I didn't plug a link to my website below to test.

I wanted to know if the profile produced the clicks or the post below.

It's the post below.

So if you want clicks due to your content, plug your links.

I think so too. It's all just a numbers game after all.

Mira | Indie Maker @miracodes.bsky.social · 13h

Thank you! So funny how that one went viral too, even after I took a break for a few days. The bsky algo is interesting, unlike other social media algos I feel.

Mira | Indie Maker @miracodes.bsky.social · 13h

That is indeed a problem. It makes the journey super hard.

Mira | Indie Maker @miracodes.bsky.social · 13h

I observed this behavior on other platforms like pinterest, twitter and instagram. After checking again, it seems indeed that bsky is a bit of a exception.

Mira | Indie Maker @miracodes.bsky.social · 13h

My pleasure :)

Mira | Indie Maker @miracodes.bsky.social · 13h

Thanks for sharing that.
I plugged the link after making this post here after all and it immediately drove clicks.
This is the way.

😂 it's the moment you should run the next experiment, not curse the data.

Mira | Indie Maker @miracodes.bsky.social · 13h

what a coincidence! What was your speciality in physics?
So nice to meet you 🤝

Social media algorithm = some code that someone wrote that decides what people see.

Not more, not less.

Mira | Indie Maker @miracodes.bsky.social · 2d

Last time I had a viral post, the clicks came from my link below the viral post. When I saw it went viral, I decided to plug my link below to experiment.

This time (yesterday), I didn't put a link below the post and therefore didn't get as many clicks.

So the profile link alone isn't enough.

Mira | Indie Maker @miracodes.bsky.social · 2d

I know you can do it Olu.

Mira | Indie Maker @miracodes.bsky.social · 2d

so cool good ones are still out there.
Now I'm curious ;-)

Mira | Indie Maker @miracodes.bsky.social · 2d

no clue. It appears for me too asking me for many different languages.
I just write in english and am ignoring it.
Seems to work well lol

I've got those days too. Or just too much going on in life.
I feel the main thing is to enjoy what we do here, not forcing it.

You can use technology to your advantage or disadvantage.
It's a choice.

Social media algos show you more of those posts, the more you engage with them.
Just saying.

Mira | Indie Maker @miracodes.bsky.social · 2d

Social media algos show you more of the things you engage with.

Just like in real life: if you don't want to see it, stop engaging with it.
