Shared a post on Hacker News about selling No CS Degree
November 5, 2025 at 2:16 PM
I did a big write up about putting No CS Degree up for sale!

• how much it's made (in lots of detail)
• who could benefit from buying it
• how long it takes to run a site like this
• marketing channels that work etc

Feast your eyes on this!

My friend who dreams of starting a business wants to buy another expensive course

It's my mission to stop him

Nothing wrong with cheap courses but I must stop the purchase of a $1000 "passive income" course

I need help with scaling up my marketing services.

It's just me at the moment and I convert people pretty easily but I'm getting a lot of demand (good problem, I know)

Any agency people or experience freelancers want to weigh in with hiring tips?

Glasgow: I'm coming through to the Skyscanner office next month to give a presentation on how to get great backlinks

I'm doing a little side project this week so hopefully I'll have some great backlinks to report on by the 12th of November 😀

I'm at 84.6kg now

What's your advice for getting below 80kg by end of the year?

What I'm doing:

• lifting weights
• running
• cutting down on sugar
• cutting down on carbs in the evening

Boxing question:

I've started doing bag work at the gym

Do I need wraps under gloves?

Do I need those crazy long wraps?

I have fond memories of watching MTV as a kid - in hindsight though, it was quite often just a cycle of the same videos over and over again 😂

Sending the High Signal newsletter tonight

It's the easiest way of keeping up with indie startup news

I had a great call with a potential ghostwriting client last night but he was stuck on strategy:

• should he write about his day job (millions of people do this job)
• or should he write about his niche product

If you want to grow on social media?

Talk about things only you can talk about
October 24, 2025 at 8:56 AM
No newsletters this week

Need a break

Smoke me a kipper, I’ll be back for breakfast
October 15, 2025 at 2:42 PM
New ghostwriting client signed 😀

Hell yeah!

I'm moving into a new stage in my life

Maximum agency
Maximum responsibility
No excuses

I'm WAY happier this way

Watch my moves!

Anyone used SavvyCal and rate it?

I speak Spanish and French (a bit of Greek, obviously 😀)

Non-English native speakers:

Do you like being spoken to in your own language or do you prefer just doing English?

so, magnesium for sleeping better?
October 13, 2025 at 11:49 AM
It's mad how effective keeping a phone out of your bedroom is for helping your sleep

Like why would I sleep well with an addictive dopamine machine within arm's reach at all times?

What's High Signal?

It's a newsletter I write which covers all the best indie startup news

So you don't have to scroll your life away

All the startup news you need with none of the ragebait

Ok, adding a call link to my ghostwriting page was actually a good call

Before, people would email and we'd message back and forth but it's good to get right to the "jump on a call" stage
