Yep. It's one of the trade-offs being a solo founder. But the rest still outweigh it for me.

There are ways around it, though. For example, I have standing meetings with friends all over the industry where I can bounce ideas, architectures, and implementations off them. It's important to keep your network going and fresh. Another thing I do is to look for meetups with likeminded people, which is a good way to get to know new people and bounce ideas.

I also sometimes outsource a smaller project and I'd have a coworker for a couple of weeks. ;-)

Thanks for the replies! I've also been made aware that it might be crucial to reflect the "lastmod" timestamp on each link to the last time the page was modified, and not use date the sitemap is generated. Mostly to prevent the crawl from restarting and using up the crawl budget.

I'm going to refactor the sitemap generator to use the real modification dates and see what happens. 🤞

Hey Paul,

I like it at first glance, but I think you could work on the copy. For example "Launch blogs on autopilot" suggests (to me) that you can create entire blog sites, different ones about different topics. But scrolling down further, it seems to talk about a single blog and creating blog posts for it.

Also take a look at the spacing and margins. For example, the "g" in 'SEO content that brings traffic." is cut off at the bottom.

Generally double check your copy, there are a few typos, like "developement" in your price tables. I also don't think "hand-off" is a word, lose the "-" on that one ;-)

More general question about the product, though. SEO is all about creating content that drives traffic to your website, but you'd need to have that blog on your own domain, correct? So, would this really work if I have product.com, and then set up your service on productblog.com? I would think your service would need to publish blogs on product.com for SEO to be effective for my product?

It's not about content, more about email servers not having the proper SPF, reverse DNS, or DKIM configurations. Sometimes only 1 is missing from a setup, which is enough for CF to bounce the emails.

Cloudflare is great, but just as a heads up...I recently moved everything away from CF because they don't have any controls over the security measures they use to allow incoming email.

I was missing a ton of legitimate customer emails because their email service wasn't complying fully to CF's email security standards. 😔

+1 for forwardemails.net

Submitted! Next time, it'd be wonderful if you'd use a form service that remembers your answers..Lost my browser in between questions and had to start over. 😔
