Building http://skillbright.org in public | For those who hate video tutorials that stare back at you 👀
You can just do things.
Like, for example, giving away your phone number to anyone who uses your app.
What could possibly go wrong?

Why have 1 headline instead of 10?
Generate a page for each one and let Google pick the best one based on what people searched for.
After all, everyone has a slightly different goal. Here's the one I'm betting on with this post 😅

Spent a few hours today trying to get my emails out of the "Promotions" tab in Gmail.
But this particular email wasn't even selling anything. It was just a free value drop for a mailing list that knowingly signed up for it.🤔
Let's hope this works🤞

I'm working on a free mini-project collection that serves as a lead magnet for skillbright.org
5 beautifully designed UI widgets you can implement in < 10 minutes each to learn web dev (CSS Flexbox)
Would you try it?🤔

A few very expensive Google ads taught me to keep doing what works, even if it's not "scalable"
Back to lead magnets and 1:1 outreach 🏃♂️💨
P.S: For the love of God, never use "Performance Max" mode if you're running ads for the first time

I thought @marclou.bsky.social's T-shirt QR code marketing was hilarious
I applied the exact same idea at my high school graduation, and almost 40 people scanned the QR code:

🎉 Just hit 100 visitors (still 0 conversions 😬)
When you're small and still building, the answer is almost always more volume.
More posts, more building in public, more market research
Nearly any plan will work, but you do have to stick with the plan.
