Trying to be an optimist, because pessimistic is tiring.
Malu tapi Maju ke-57 | Biar kayak quote-quote tumblr gitu lho.
Dude this draft has been sitting here from February the first. Only for me to pick it up 10 days later and realizing its empty apart from 2 visuals and 1 curated tweet. February has been fun, its been a “build things” month for me. I created mockups for product ideas, and actually launch finished product that has been used by real people for 500 times!
You can check out the free content strategy generator and give it a whirl please~ feedbacks are most welcome. I build that in one night using claude code (!!) to solve the problem of the new cenblu (centang biru - verified user) on twitter. They subbed for a month, hoping to get accepted to the monetization program, only to realize to reach 5 mio impression is really fucking hard. Yes you can spam japanese people’s tweet, but we all know that will kill your soul in the process.
Learning claude code has been a big unlock for me, bcs I always thought programming is the thing that I will never be able to learn (tried 5x courses/bootcamp abt it and failed miserably on all count) but now after conquering the fear of opening and typing in terminal, you literally can build things really fast. Though I learn so so much in the process of building it. Somebody literally spammed submission 5 times a minute using “mem*k” as the name. Because the product is AI assisted, everytime this guy spammed me, I have to pay to the AI model provider. Dude. I gotta build a spam protection, watch and record and delete the IPs, all the fun stuff really. This stuff is HARD. That’s coming from a vibe coder. Imagine the real coder, rawdogging stuff. Those guys are the real deal. Much much respect.
Building the free tools helps me learn a lot of stuff, such as claude code, build a defense system from spam, and I turn that tool as a lead magnet to personalbranding.id as well.
On that front, I tried using paid ads to drive traffic, and thank god, reach a fat 0 sales. Lmao. I had never touched Facebook Business Manager since I left the day-to-day management of my social media agency. So its been years. Got a lot to unlearn and relearn. One of the insight is I have to fix my landing page. Got to have a clearer offer in there, and gotta squash any objections people might have.
Lah anjir jadi nulis banyak pake bahasa inggris dah. Anyway, gue juga kepikiran untuk bikin campaign ramadhan, semacam #MayLearnings yang pernah gue bikin di 2024 lalu, tapi kali ini mungkin temanya tentang diet konsumsi konten. Jadi mungkin gue akan minta temen-temen yang mau ikut untuk mengkurasi 1 konten/hari yang menurut temen-temen bermanfaat, dan ceritain kenapa. Harapannya selain kita puasa dari makanan, minuman dan hawa nafsu, kita juga puasa dari konten-konten yang kurang bermanfaat~~
Menurut teman-teman gimana?
Someone just told me “micro joys are how you survive macro grief” and WOW did I need to hear that
Salah satu edisi substack ini gw post di twitter dan went crazy. Ngereach 1.2 juta impression wkwk. Bedanya cuma di title, gue tweak biar lebih nge-hook.
