    Former client @llamalife just passed 1 MILLION in Impressions in last 12 months 😱 While that's a huge number and cool milestone- @threehourcoffee asked a very good question: *Why haven't clicks gone up too?* + that is the problem w/ these graphs from Google Search Console...

    We all know @dannypostma is seeing crazy success w/ HeadshotPro ($300k+ since Mar launch) At first I assumed it was all from AI hype. Then I heard him mention on the @IndieHackers pod last week that he uses SEO to drive traffic. So I did some digging to find out how.

    Announcement alert! 📣 This indiemaker got a job!! I'm joining @Peerspace as a Senior Product Designer, starting tomorrow! 😬 Some would say, "Oh no, she's giving up", "RIP". But that's not how I think about it.

    Harold just crossed a big milestone! 🎉 Over $1000 in gross volume. Look at that nice, steady, sustainable growth over time. JK, those are two Product Hunt spikes. Marketing is hard.

    It's pretty funny that the archetypal "developer" is a nerdy, tech-obsessed male in a hoodie. When in reality, the first people to successfully program a computer were 6 bad-ass and well-rounded women in skirts and dresses. A short story about the "Sensational Six" 👇

    Some people may be wondering if the @beondeck hype is real. The past 2 weeks I've joined fireside chats with @rrhoover @jmj @thehelenmayer @gregisenberg @bentossell Small groups in zoom. Deep insights shared. And they leave 30 min for audience questions. The hype is real.

    The start up where I worked for 2 years recently shut down. (Thankfully I got a nice severance package. 🙌) So I'm taking the next two months to try this solo-preneur / indiemaker thing full time. Yikes. 😬 follow along if you wish 👇
