How do you keep yourself motivated?
Hey Makers, this question may depend on your setup (solo-founder, team, ...) but: - How do you keep yourself motivated in the first few months? - Do you set goals? - Any specific routine? Especially if you are working alone.
Do you have a personal website?
I am finally getting around to creating a full personal site before I launch a few side projects and I am curious what other makers have come up with. I am most interested in creative takes on personal branding and storytelling. Feel free to share links to your own! Qs: If you have a site, has it been useful? How often do you update it or add content? Link the best personal site or blog (not Medium-based) you can think of, doesn't have to be in tech.
How do you build a writing habit? ✍️
Many startups rely on content marketing to grow their audience. It takes longer SEO takes quite a bit of time but it can be a sustainable source of affordable traffic. The only thing is that creating content requires a lot of work and consistency. Do you use content to build your audience? How often do you publish new content? Any tips and tricks to write consistently? In my case it boils down to: Collecting ideas as I go Writing on a schedule Killing my inner critic Sharing my articles widely Listening to feedback Would love to read some advice from other founders who use content as part of their overall customer acquisition / retention strategy.
