October Report 🧵:

Simple things boosted growth last month.

2 simple updates doubled my conversion rates.

1 simple focus tripled my traffic.

1 failed experiment destroyed revenue for a week.
Building an AI Color Page Generator in 48 Hours.

CHALLENGE IS OVER

UPDATE: HOUR 60 (12 Hours Extra).

Site is up.

3 free coloring pages per user.

P.S: It's not perfect (as expected)

- Generations take forever & are bad

Will get better in the coming days.

This is looking so good!

Where the link? My 4 year old would love that!

Is this going to be a BYOK kind of thing or subscription based?

(I know I can do this with e.g. Flux directly but having a dedicated space for this isno nice).

Building an AI coloring page generator in under 48 hours. 🚀

Generation page frontend has been built.

No backend implementation has been done yet. Will work on that once the UI is complete for all pages.

Would love to hear your thoughts, what could be improved.

Next: Library Page

Nowadays if I can’t figure out what marketing and distribution for a product would look like.

I scrap it.

Roast my landing page.

I have been working on adding bedtime audiobooks to MyStoryElf, and with that came updating my landing page design.

Just have the Hero so far and it's uncomplete.

Let me know what you think.

Right = After

I went searching for a newsletter that highlights one SaaS every week and does a deep dive into features, pricing, examples on how to use it.

Couldn’t find one out there I liked.

Maybe I should do it?

As a founder you feel like:

This new feature is going to unlock everything

This marketing strategy is going to unlock everything

The new idea will unlock everything

9 out of 10 times it doesn’t, but having a memory like a goldfish is what will get you to the 1/10 success.

It’s inspiring!

I don’t know about others, but for me if people didn’t share MRR I wouldn’t have gotten into indiehacking because I wouldn’t have believed it was possible.

It was proof to me that there was a REAL way to make real money without needing a job and without doing a VC-funded startup.
This practice of sharing MMR feels really strange to me.

I never talk to my friends about how much I make, nor do I ask them about their earnings. This also isn’t common in the startup community offline.

No judgment if you do, it just doesn’t feel right for me.
