get new startups through starterstory - wrote a little crawler which gets the past 500 starterstory urls

upwork guy says n=500 is too little for creating a data science model. Trying to get more backlink data. Trying getlaka for finding new product based startups

had a 30m call with a person from upwork - the person sounds very professional, so gonna give him that gig. Was nervous since it's my first video call for outsourced work - but then I believe the communication is a lot better than just going through written messages

screen the first 10-15 candidates I got for my upwork task. I still feel like I have no clue what I'm doing but after 2 years as entrepreneur I became very content with this feeling

after being underwhelmed with my first outsourced task on fiverr (find a data science model) I switched to upwork and specified the task WAY better

reverse engineering ahrefs DR model- part 137

updated indiehackers entry in my guide to warn people that "taking an interview" with IH is not helping anything backlink wise (also not traffic wise, no idea why they do those, they kinda suck)

in Europapark (theme park in Germany) with my wife and daughter

started preparing for our move in 4 weeks (last time we moved 10 years ago!)

researching why some backlinks of the same source domain have such a different impact on ahrefs' DR than others

created a video. Took 1h for shooting, around 1.5h for cutting, 0.5h for subs. Quite happy with effort to quality ratio

went shopping: bought a new dining table and chairs for $5000 - all paid from my side gig 😊️️️️

back from 3 days of holidays, and straight into ahrefs DR reverse engineering again 🙂

spent 37$ on 6 raviolis

recharging batteries

gone camping with my wife without kids

continuing ahrefs DR reverse engineering. I'm 2.5 months into this (~10h per week only though). This better pays out 🙂

inbox zero of 3 of my 5 inboxes 🙂

realized that there's a phantastic distribution channel for my SEO Kickstarter - but I'll be on vacations the next 2 weeks - so hard to resist to not just jump right into it!!

turns out the fiverr guy's correlation is only 63% and not 99% as I first understood. That's similar to what I came up myself (or let's say - chatGPT came up with 🙂 - it's slightly better though. But: my first fiverr experience is mixed. Let's see what the guy says now. Maybe he puts in more effort? Maybe he wants more money for another iteration?
