@oneup_today Meant to say app*

[john b @itsjohnb]

I'm back! The last four months have been a whirlwind. I closed three of my startups, launched a new one, focused on teaching, and—oh, I'm now running an ecommerce business!

[john b @itsjohnb]

@oneup_today You got 9 more to go! I just signed up. So far your up is looking good and it was easy to sign up.

Beautiful UI so I think it's just a matter of promotion.

Have you tried posting it on reddit fitness sub? What are some of the marketing efforts you've tried so far?

[john b @itsjohnb]

@oneup_today It was and I think a good lesson for me in terms of focus. Have you ever had that experience?

[john b @itsjohnb]

@mattsimass This is the way to go man. I did the same with feedback. It turned out great!

[john b @itsjohnb]

Marketing isn't an afterthought—it's a core part of your product.

Start building your audience from day one. Blog, tweet, engage in communities.

Your early adopters are out there waiting to be found.

[john b @itsjohnb]

@nathanmc_ Always killing it with those delicious dish.

[john b @itsjohnb]

@RituSShinde Content mostly. I also automated my funnels. Basic marketing sequence is important and was probably the change I need.

[john b @itsjohnb]

The biggest skill I learned is to automate.

Automate repetitive tasks early. Your time is precious - use it wisely to build and grow your startup.

[john b @itsjohnb]

The two type is deliberate and unintentional. Here’s an example.

Where do you fit in this?

[john b @itsjohnb]

Technical debt is real, and it can cripple your startup's growth.

While moving fast is important, take time to refactor and maintain clean code.

Your future self (and team) will thank you.

@ginaperrelli If it’s a shooting star, make sure you tag Hayley Williams.

Bad joke sorry.

[john b @itsjohnb]

@niepreneur Or you’re in the wrong room.

[john b @itsjohnb]

@wbetiago #growinpublic also. Cool name and logo man!

[john b @itsjohnb]

Every time I feel those anxiety attack, I write them down then I put a little reminder to check it the next day.

When I calm down, I have clarity to write down an action plan beside it.

I don’t go and write a full journal. Just a sentence or like a couple of words.

This for me is the start of taking action.

[john b @itsjohnb]

I’m tired of waiting for something to happen.

Only way for my anxiety to stop is if I take action.

Last week was for the weak.

[john b @itsjohnb]

@PLBompard That’s the dream

[john b @itsjohnb]

@Kishan_SDLC You know what’s up.

[john b @itsjohnb]

@mattsimass The only thing consistent for myself lately had been my anxiety. Time for a change brother.

[john b @itsjohnb]

@jainilnf Good to hear man! I think about your move once in a while. It’s a big leap.

[john b @itsjohnb]

@mattsimass Yeah and absolutely will change how we do SEO in the next couple of years.

[john b @itsjohnb]

Don't ignore SEO from day one.

Organic traffic can be a game-changer for bootstrapped startups.
