Phew been a busy month with few projects wrapping up

Inching closer to shutting down heygalaxio.com and starting over. The response hasn't been great and sometimes you just have to accept that the product-market fit isnt there

Sucks but lessons learnt☹️

Plan for the week ahead, purely a marketing week (weeks I dread since I love building 🙃)
-LinkedIn outreach
-New cold email script
-Make existing landing page more SEO friendly
-Write a blog post, also for SEO
#buildinpublic update
Haven’t paid as much attention to heygalaxio.com as I would have liked this week

To quit working with unrealistically demanding clients is one of my main motivators to grow a side project 😅

Scheduled time to build this weekend, let’s get to work!

Response to heyGalaxio.com from the talent side has been lukewarm at best

Is it spring break? Spring quarter finals? Or should I just be abandoning the idea?

I go again next week before evaluating weather to shut it down and move onto the next project.

Talent growth for Galaxio is slower than expected

A lot more students at this time of the year looking for internships

But we keep going, for every 100 rejections, there's 1 acceptance 😁

Opening up the talent pool to early users pretty soon 👀

#buildinpublic #indiehackers
Update: Past few days have been rough with low responses to the same cold outreach script

Wonder if I’m just hitting spam now?

Going to mix things Up reaching out to student groups instead of talent directly

Let’s see how this goes!

Day 21:

Have the first handful of talented college students vetted and onboarded🥳

What specific areas has this side of twitter had the most trouble hiring?

Day 8 #buildinpublic

❌Problem
Student: 3P freelance platforms take 20-30% cut
Employer: Hard to vet talent on 3P sites due

✅Solution
S: Get paid 100% of earnings
E: Work with vetted student talent

Site live, started talent outreach. Lets go!

Day 7 #buildinpublic
Pre launch landing page ✅
Backend build starts now + hunt for name + domain to begin outreach for talent

Speaking to students, biggest pain with 3P platforms is not invoicing clients directly.20-30% cuts add up real fast

A quick reminder for all the builders out there cc @JamesClear

If you can get 1 percent better each day for one year, you'll end up thirty-seven times better by the time you're done.

Keep going!

Day 7 #buildinpublic: Bringing me back to my days in college, trying to work on Upwork or Fiverr and having to pay them 20% for finding me a gig

It definitely hurt. I do feel like we're onto something here with a marketplace with 0% fees to hire top talent

#buildsell30 #nocode
Day 6: Creating landing page

Speaking to a few college students: issue is freelance sites taking a cut of earnings. Refining the idea may be giving the ability for students to invoice clients directly💭

Would also simplify structure for me!
