I am interested in how you intend to stimulate the local economy. I have been running a blog for South African entrepreneurs for the last nine years. zapreneur.com
One domain sounds better as it supports your SEO efforts and it is part of the same product.
Interesting model. Here is the link to the FAQ page help.medium.com/hc/en-us/arti…. Model is bit like Skillshare, which looks like a successful model.
Gumroad needs to improve this. I have tried to find stuff on the discovery page and not been successful. For example, if you try an empty search you get nothing if you not logged in. This is from a buyers perspective, so a reason why sales are unlikely to happen from the 'discover' page.
@marckohlbrugge has answered this much than I. I have the same problem. My take - creating good content every day or week is really difficult. So a project that requires fewer content updates seems better to me, but with some really good content for marketing and SEO.
I do not have any specific criteria. But, I do spend a bit of time getting to know subscribers, and if there is an opportunity to engage I will send them an email.
Still learning this, but email seems to get me some results. Tried of a couple of things A. 1. A Note to say something is coming 2. Followed by whatever is coming. B. Emailing people directly rather than as a message to a list. Both works well to re-engage people. C. Segmenting list for those that have not opened newsletters. All seem to work, just do not send to the same people.
This is really great insight. I'm going to try doing A on a regular basis and see how that works. for B, do you email people directly based on a criteria? or is it everyone?

I am not a developer, but I am an indie maker. I face one major problems: Time management and switching between tasks. Between consulting and my attempts to launch products, I find it difficult to find the time and to switch between tasks. I am however beginning to do better, with a better weekly schedule and making mini projects for each day. Hope I can keep the momentum going.
how are you managing your time? are you just writing down specific things to do that day? are you using the Pomodoro technique? Can you give me examples of what tools you're using?
I am using three things: 1. "mini-projects" - really small tasks that i can do within 15 minutes. i record this is in Excel - which is strangely efficient. 2. Streaks - WIP, plus I have a paper based system. 3. Weekly review - helps me to prioritize what I need to do, and schedule for each day. That way the big organisation of the week is done, and I pitch up everyday. As I try to work in 15 minute slots, it is kinda like Pomodoro, but not yet doing this in a systematic way. Big Warning - these systems all work till they do not. Hope it continues to work for a long time.
