Try cold email to get a flight school to sign up for #flightschools sponsored listings 🤞 I will try a message similar to this one on a handful of schools, and if it gets a good response rate then I'll scale to thousands of schools

Improve advertising page to be slightly more honest. I can't guarantee my 30k unique visitors are all "student pilots" so I shouldn't promise that to prospective buyers Now listing "unique visitors" in the headline to be 100% accurate with what I'm selling since the best I can do is look at Cloudflare stats and not interview 30K visitors to see if they're students Also add featured listing preview so buyers can see what it looks like + different icons on the pricing table #flightschools

Add featured listing page @ $99/mo and hook up stripe, thanks @marc for the push: flightschools.fyi/advertise/ Now emailing the flight schools that have signed up to see if they'd be interested #flightschools

Improve "cheapest flight schools" page to include a map and only show the top 25 results to see if Google likes that better If it works, I'll move to using this approach on other pages #flightschools

See second discovery flight request roll in and forward info to the school again - might be time to automate this email! #flightschools

Added "reset filters" and X buttons to clear individual fields as I noticed users were struggling to reset filters after typing in a bunch of stuff on the search page #flightschools

Add 50+ new flight schools by rerunning the scraping job with some fixes #flightschools

See first ever student sign up on flightschools.fyi and book a discovery flight! Emailed the flight school to pass them the first lead for free. My email copy could probably use work but better to move fast. May follow up later and see if they're interested in a sponsored listing, think I need more traffic and interested students to ask for that. #flightschools

See first 2 random users sign up! (excluding my test accounts) #flightschools

Add autogenerated FAQ section for each flight school to enrich content further and try to rank for some "question" keywords like "how much does flight school cost" + have it display different values for signed in / signed out users to avoid leaking too much info #flightschools

Add pagination to all aircraft pages because ahrefs warned me that my page sizes were above 2MB in some cases, leading to google indexing failures #flightschools

Add map component to the "flight schools by type" page to make it more uniform with other pages, slightly lengthen meta description to make Bing happy #flightschools

Add internal links to glossary entries for DPE onsite, part 61/141 tags #flightschools

Use retina quality images for school logos and fix some bug where the "get logo by school name" api was being used instead of the "get logo by school domain" api, many more logos are displaying properly now #flightschools

Overhaul discovery flight booking page to include the school logo + move tags to the top below the H1 #flightschools

Add school logos to the landing page too and see traffic start to take off #flightschools

Add proper school logos to make the page look less AI-generated and reorganize the header to clean up the tags #flightschools

Add aircraft images to the fleet section and landing page to make things more visually appealing #flightschools
