Maybe a monthly challenge. Ship in six days or something like that may work.
Ah yes! Want to do these for sure. Like diferent themes. Marketing week where we all do marketing for one week. Hackathons where we all try and ship something by a certain date. Etc.
Yes, this would be so perfect! Love hackathons)
Good ideas and good to get more engagements. I remember paying a once off fee.
I looked into it, and you were one of the first to become a paying patron so thank you for that!
It was a $100/year payment that didn't automatically renew and I never reached out to ask people to renew because it didn't feel right to ask for more money.
So you had the "patron" status for that one year. But because you initially joined WIP before we made a paid membership required, you were also grandfathered into a lifelong free membership.
The best $100 I have spent
I bought WIP early on as lifetime offer. I doubt I would buy it for a monthly fee. Maybe just me. I like both Idea 2 and Idea 3. Maybe a premium option could include voice chats?
We don't have (or had) any lifetime plan, but I think you joined early on before we introduced the paywall? All those early accounts kept the free plan.
Premium feature could definitely include voice chats. Or maybe you'd get priority for speaking, or proposing topics, etc. Lots of things we can do here.

I understand a little as I understand South African Afrikaans. The page is well designed. The screenshots are however large and require lots of scrolling.
Carrd is great. I like Dorik as it integrates with Pabbly (which is kinda like Zapier).
Hi Pat. I like the idea of "work weeks" - provides focus on activities. I am new to automating marketing. I am starting with basic email series. For example, a user subscribes and receives a set of tutorials via email.
Hi. We all struggle with this. Maybe this is problem for "Mission Control" to solve :). Your app looks great and maybe a narrower use case (working plus building stuff) might be a way to solve your own problem. What helps me is focus on one thing at a time - product building, marketing etc - in small 30 minute work sessions (called Pomodoros). The big area I want to focus on in 2022 is automating most of my marketing. Hope this helps. Keep shipping. Curious to see what others think.
Hey Ebrahim-Khalil! Thank you. Great advise which reminded me of a plan I had set before I started working on Mission Control. Unfortunately, I did not stick to that plan because I got lost in technical challenges (big mistake, I should have at least dedicated 30%-50& of my time on e.g. building in public from the very beginning) I made the experience that for me personally short work sessions (i.e. 30min, 60min) don't work. I just never stick to the time windows I scheduled.
What worked better (still not perfect but better) for me is to schedule "work weeks". For example, 1 week of building the product, 1 week of promoting the app, reaching out to potential users, 1 week of writing etc, etc.
I will start doing this again now and will spend some time today on how I want to structure each month in weekly chunks.
Question: Can you elaborate a little bit more on how you plan to automate your marketing? And, what things should one focus on from a marketing perspective in the beginning (i.e. what would bring the best "bang for buck" /"bang for energy/time") in your opinion?

Hi. Paying for access to quality interviews is nothing new in the startup space. Check out Mixergy. mixergy.com/. The challenge is to distinguish what your interviews from the many podcasts etc. Good luck
Thanks man - the first one went well!
