How to get your clients/subscribers reply your email? Or email should be used as a one-way communication?
Oh, I accepted it before asking the question. I'm the kind of person who never subscribed to stuff, so I thought of asking others because I keep hearing people saying the email list is important. I guess your reply confirmed my thought. Thanks
I tried to use WIP a year ago but couldn’t commit for long. I mainly got busy because I had to produce and ship a physical product, or it is just an excuse. So, I can’t really judge WIP because I didn’t use it recently but here are my comments.
I personally learn a lot from a creator when their struggles and failures could be analyzed. Maybe this is me, but I am more useful to others when they need help (make sense, right) than watching passively their MRR or a post about a CSS adjustment…, so this is from a viewer’s perspective. From the poster’s perspective, posting daily updates of course helps for commitments and motivation.
So, it would be nice to have an area (hashtag?) dedicated to seeing what problems creators’ faced and how they solved it, or their failures, why it didn’t work out and what they would do differently if they had the chance to start again. But even better, it would be better to have an hashtag, saying #imgivingup or #imstuck, a place they can write before they decide their project is a failure. Because, the community will be more sensitive to this (well, I would be) and will be able to inject fresh ideas or motivate the creator.
Would it be possible to have a sub-group on telegram specific to asking help from other users or just chatting, but not mixed with the /todo and /done but maybe keep the /life stuff (those are cool and promote interaction). So, in that subgroup u write /ask will also be posted on the website directly. I have the feeling the questions/posts and /roasts on the website don’t get the attention they deserve. I dunno why, but those topics should be stimulating more dialogues (the essence of a community) while posting todos promotes more one-way flow.
