Unproductive; single-chapter tutorials; data-driven approach.

Today I've been very unproductive so I'll make this session the bare minimum 30 minutes and try to rest.

This morning, it suddenly dawned to me: if no users have gone past the chapter 1, why should I bother creating anything other than the chapter 1? I should create a bunch of courses with only one chapter, and then based on actual user interest, create more.

So in the following few weeks, I will focus on churning out as many tutorials as possible, but only a single chapter. Ideally, I should be publishing one tutorial every week. This would mean it would take me about 10 hours per tutorial. If I can manage to do this, I should be able to sustain this workflow:

  • push out a new, short tutorial (10 hours / week)
  • run ads, measure interest, validate them (1 hour / week)
  • if they work, finish the course
  • if they don't, never write past the chapter 1

Then, I will run paid ads to increase traffic and measure what's worth building and what's not.

Started researching what to build next, but have energy so I'm calling it a day
