Hi, I'm Philipp, 46y and new on this platform 👋

I'm strangely attracted both to 9-5 work,
And building startups in my free time
All while being husband and father of two teenagers

My little story 👇
I've been Louvioned

This domain is 2 months old.

It has a better rating and more backlinks than all my sites in the first 2 years of building startups.

I reached #1 on Google for my most relevant keywords.
That is for my real estate search weegee​.ch:

I outrank the main player who was there for 20 years.
I never imagined this would be possible
I spent $0 for SEO tools and wrote no blog posts.
How I got there 👇

I see myself flocking from 🦋 back to Twitter.

Bluesky is calmer - but also more boring.
It didn't spark interesting discussions,
And never really moved beyond starter packs.

When I was young
Kids made fun of me cause I am so skinny
I never was into sports
Going into gym was out of the question
I would embarrass myself!

Until half a year ago I was close to depression
And someone adviced me to go to gym

I donated 10% of this years profits to charity

Three reasons:
1. I feel grateful for having had success this year
2. I want to train my "giving muscle" early in my entrepreneur career
3. I know the people from the charity. Understanding the impact of the donation makes me happy

How was your 2024?

For us it was a good year:
Moved from a 400y old house to a 7y old flat
Got my first real internet money and spent it on furniture

There was some bad stuff as well but my wife and me are grateful! 🙏

I created a traffic estimator.
Which is a lot better than similarweb.

Drop me your domain and I'll estimate your monthly sessions

My last weeks goal: Research/refresh 60 backlink opportunities for my SEO Kickstarter V2

With MUCH effort I made it to 40 - which is 66%

I underestimated the effort. Or differently: I decided to spend more time per backlink.

Am I happy with this? Yes! Cause my week goal kept me on track
Week goals update

I only finished 14% of last weeks' goal 🥲
I got half sick, and also underestimated the goal A LOT

This week I have vacations from my 9-5 job
-> I turn into a FULLTIME BUILDER for a week.

Goal: Refresh/research 60 backlinks from SEO Kickstarter V1 into V2.

I compared similarweb, ahrefs and semrushs traffic predictions against 8 websites I have traffic data from

Turns out that semrushs' prediction is the best

Only looked at SEO traffic
Green means it's less than 50% off the reality

How do you estimate other websites' traffic?
Do you use…

A) Similarweb
B) Ahrefs (SEO traffic only)
C) Semrush (SEO traffic only)
D) something else…
E) don't trust any of those as they are all wrong

I have issues with Cursor
Is it a skill issue?

I often cannot apply the code changes (no green/red lines).

It doesn't see my code even though I added it in context (I need to @mention it to fix it)

When "coding by hand" it's too intrusive - suggests so many things I cannot "type in peace"

It's done
December 20, 2024 at 9:31 AM
Was/is anyone looking for investors?

What websites/services are you using for this?

Context: I'm updating my backlink guide and currently brushing up my gust.com entry - anyone is using this?

My coworking place for today - the train! 🚂

Costs $40 to drive all around Switzerland 🇨🇭 for a day

Took the 6:15 train from my village and now I'm already in the opposite corner of the country

Anyone active on peerlist?
It looks like a nice community but I don't hear anyone talking about it…

Science: spend your first hour of the day off the screen

Bezos: reading the paper, drinking coffee, and having breakfast with his family

Me: cleaning up the kitchen

Does someone cross-post on Medium?

If so - what's the extra traffic you get this way?

My favourite pomodoro break so far

Anyone listed on theresanaiforthat recently?

Their submission fee is $299

IMO they had their moment early year but nowadays the traffic decreased? Or am I mistaken?

Anyone launched on AppSumo
And had a good experience?

I only hear bad stuff:
- people rage-buying and then requesting refunds
- 50% - 75% commission rates

Who is included in the producthunt newsletter?

They cover 3 products every day.
Turns out it's not always the top 3.
In fact your probability is…

30% in the top #4
15% between #5 and #9

I analyzed 25 newsletters.
This is for v2 of my SEO Kickstarter

I was worried that 🦋 was just a hype
People already went back to 𝕏

Posted two questions on both platform.
Got the same engagement on both.

With this being equal - I enjoy 🦋 more.
So I'll stick around here and will not use 𝕏 for a while
