I reached #1 on Google for my most relevant keywords. That is for my real estate search weegee​.ch: I outrank the main player who was there for 20 years. I never imagined this would be possible I spent $0 for SEO tools and wrote no blog posts. How I got there 👇

I see myself flocking from 🦋 back to Twitter. Bluesky is calmer - but also more boring. It didn't spark interesting discussions, And never really moved beyond starter packs.

When I was young Kids made fun of me cause I am so skinny I never was into sports Going into gym was out of the question I would embarrass myself! Until half a year ago I was close to depression And someone adviced me to go to gym My little story 👇

I donated 10% of this years profits to charity Three reasons: 1. I feel grateful for having had success this year 2. I want to train my "giving muscle" early in my entrepreneur career 3. I know the people from the charity. Understanding the impact of the donation makes me happy

How was your 2024? For us it was a good year: Moved from a 400y old house to a 7y old flat Got my first real internet money and spent it on furniture There was some bad stuff as well but my wife and me are grateful! 🙏

My last weeks goal: Research/refresh 60 backlink opportunities for my SEO Kickstarter V2 With MUCH effort I made it to 40 - which is 66% I underestimated the effort. Or differently: I decided to spend more time per backlink. Am I happy with this? Yes! Cause my week goal kept me on track

Week goals update I only finished 14% of last weeks' goal 🥲 I got half sick, and also underestimated the goal A LOT This week I have vacations from my 9-5 job -> I turn into a FULLTIME BUILDER for a week. Goal: Refresh/research 60 backlinks from SEO Kickstarter V1 into V2. My workplace today 👇

I compared similarweb, ahrefs and semrushs traffic predictions against 8 websites I have traffic data from Turns out that semrushs' prediction is the best Only looked at SEO traffic Green means it's less than 50% off the reality

How do you estimate other websites' traffic? Do you use… A) Similarweb B) Ahrefs (SEO traffic only) C) Semrush (SEO traffic only) D) something else… E) don't trust any of those as they are all wrong

I have issues with Cursor Is it a skill issue? I often cannot apply the code changes (no green/red lines). It doesn't see my code even though I added it in context (I need to @mention it to fix it) When "coding by hand" it's too intrusive - suggests so many things I cannot "type in peace"

My coworking place for today - the train! 🚂 Costs $40 to drive all around Switzerland 🇨🇭 for a day Took the 6:15 train from my village and now I'm already in the opposite corner of the country

Science: spend your first hour of the day off the screen Bezos: reading the paper, drinking coffee, and having breakfast with his family Me: cleaning up the kitchen

Anyone listed on theresanaiforthat recently? Their submission fee is $299 IMO they had their moment early year but nowadays the traffic decreased? Or am I mistaken?

Week goals update I only finished 14% of last weeks' goal 🥲 I got half sick, and also underestimated the goal A LOT This week I have vacations from my 9-5 job -> I turn into a FULLTIME BUILDER for a week. Goal: Refresh/research 60 backlinks from SEO Kickstarter V1 into V2. My workplace today 👇

Who is included in the producthunt newsletter? They cover 3 products every day. Turns out it's not always the top 3. In fact your probability is… 30% in the top #4 15% between #5 and #9 I analyzed 25 newsletters. This is for v2 of my SEO Kickstarter

I was worried that 🦋 was just a hype People already went back to 𝕏 Posted two questions on both platform. Got the same engagement on both. With this being equal - I enjoy 🦋 more. So I'll stick around here and will not use 𝕏 for a while

As a side builder The most annoying thing Is to accept the slow progress I met with @dmonn.com this week He started as a side builder 6 years later he went full time Now even has employees Always remember the power of compounding effect

People who got to the top 5 of producthunt: What extra backlinks did you get? I'm hearing that PH launches are a great multiplicator (e.g. getting mentioned in newsletters) - but I cannot find any evidence

Is someone still doing week goals? They were en vogue about 2y ago on Twitter. Helped me to stay accountable. Let me try to revive this: My goal of this week: refresh and migrate 50% of SEO Kickstarter v1 entries into the v2 structure
