To increase my surface area for luck, I should post more. A lot more. Not just on my personal website. Everywhere.
I don’t want to just post any crap, though – or worse, AI slop – as some more noise is probably the last thing the web needs right now.
On the other hand, I don’t want to put up a show and go full creator-mode as that’s not my goal right now.
So I’m considering posting my daily, raw reflections as I go about building an online business. A bit like Seth’s blog, but more focused on indie software entrepreneurship.
I’m writing them anyway and as long as I keep these real – and I damn well will as they’re my journal reflections – I think they can be of great value for somebody somewhat like me.
Obviously my mind starts racing again and overthinking…
SEO-wise I don’t really know whether posting daily, unstructured reflections on my personal website would be “best”, considering content dilution and all that jazz.
I’m considering whether to publish these on a social media platform. I think the impermanence of those platforms may be a bit better suited for this type of content.
But I think in their raw form they’d bomb pretty hard on those platform cause reflections are not really structured for attention-grabbing.
This type of content is best for an unfiltered newsletter… Maybe I could post them to Substack?
BINGO!
So here we go. Platform selected, let’s get this thing going.
What you can expect
I’m a senior software engineer and consultant turned indie entrepreneur.
I’m building an online business to improve the world – even just a tiny bit – as I improve myself and my finances.
No, that’s not yet-another woo-woo “I want to make the world a better place” kind of mission.
That’s just what all good businesses do: they profitably supply consumer demand. That is, they profitably solve a consumer dissatisfaction. And by doing so they make the world a “better” place to be in.
Uh!
Did that resonate? Do we share a similar background or objective?
