I haven't been tweeting much lately because I am currently sick. I have loads of blogs posts to write.

Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow.

zillowdataexporter.com just crossed the bar of 20 active users.

Most of them coming through via Google. #seo #buildinpublic

Sundays are usually the days when I reflect on the work accomplished during the week.

This week I published two blog posts and rolled out a new version of zillowdataexporter.com . Not a bad week but I know I can do better.

#buildinpublic

Finally rolled out related posts section at the end of each blog posts on zillowdataexporter.com

I was dreading having to do it but in the end it went smoothly.

#buildinpublic

@PlausibleHQ disagrees with @Google though.
Not sure which one to trust. I guess it doesn't matter.

The point is #seo pays dividend! #buildinpublic

There is nothing better than receiving an email from one of your users... Except when you find the email 5 days too late and have to write an apology to them.

Well, time to clean my inbox so that it doesn't happen again.

#buildinpublic and #failinpublic

Getting some good traffic this month.

Not bad for site that wasn't live a month ago.
#buildinpublic

I already published 9 articles on zillowdataexporter.com

I am still on track to publish 30 high quality articles by the end of the year.

Probably more. Each new article helps me come up with new ideas related to my product.

I am playing the long game. #buildinpublic

Today I'll be publishing 2 new blog posts and finish the help page redesign as well.

No rest for the wicked.

#buildinpublic

My extension has a bug that was easy enough to fix but broke it completely.

Good thing I don't have yet a lot of users. Need to do more QA next time.

I am now waiting for the almighty approval!

#buildinpublic

Organic traffic is the holy grail.

With zillowdataexporter.com going live about a month ago, I did not expect to see some traffic for a while but I was wrong.

Nice surprise.

I finally managed to fix the link previews on Twitter.

Another one of my extensions is being shown some love by the Chrome store.

The big spike came from being featured.

Currently reading about layoffs at Klarna: blog.pragmaticengineer.com/layoffs-at-kla…

This is in part why I am trying to build a side business. When you are an employee, you may never know when your time at a company is up and therefore you can never be safe.

Keep building

I signed up to @katlinks_ today. So far it's a bit confusing.

I am not sure what I am supposed to do but I am going to spend some time this weekend to read the knowledge base.

Also I need to finish writing a new blog post.

#seo #buildinpublic

What I did before:
- build a product with dozens of useless features
- barely any marketing
- no SEO

What I do now:
- build a simple product with 1 or 2 core features
- invest in SEO (blog posts, keyword research)
- release new features publicly

#buildinpublic

I am taking SEO very seriously this time. Aiming to publish at the very least 1 article of good quality per week until the end of the year.

I am not much of a writer, but just like anything else, it's a matter of practice. #SEO #buildinpublic

So now that the website is up and the extension has been released, I guess its time to do marketing.

I am going to play the long game with SEO aiming to publish 3 articles per marketing week.

1 week building, 1 week marketing. That's the way to go it seems!

#buildinpublic

Extension is now live
chrome.google.com/webstore/detai…

And the site is live too , although not mobile friendly at this stage

#buildinpublic

Somebody found my site and tried to install the extension. The problem is that it is still under review.

I think ill replace the install button with a wait list widget for now.

#buildinginpublic #buildinpublic #chromeextension

Extension is pending review.

Website is deployed. Now I need to create a Loom video for a quick demo and then make the site responsive on mobile.

Should be done by the end of the week. #buildinpublic
