✅ Reddit

I came out as a winner.

I experimented posting on multiple subreddits which I found with the help of Perplexity and the recently discovered glory of Gummy Search.

Results? Lots of haters and skeptics….but….

Wait-for-it

and a lot of people who were pumped about the idea, they loved it so much they were asking if Discord community was up.

I met Chris, with whom I’m planning a podcast soon as how he is building his unique newsletter about art.

I also made a few friends with whom I might collaborate later.

And of course, I was banned from a couple of communities, with people questioning whether this makes sense at all.

🦄 Social media Roller coaster

• 😩Epic Fail Tiktok

From new devices with residential proxies to VPS servers, all I encountered were shadow bans. I wasted so much time trying to fix this.

Luckily, I was chatting with someone who had tried everything, including Tello eSIM + proxy setup, but nothing worked. It boils down to needing a REAL SIM + Device.

I'm now asking my friend to create the account for me, and I'll try running it from here. I also found a vendor who sells one-year-old TikTok accounts, which could be useful.

• Automations: Linkedin and Twitter

Towards the end of the week, I bought Hypefury, a scheduling tool with many useful features. I can now schedule posts for many days ahead in a single session.

Tweet inspiration is another good feature. Lastly, the one-click option to share tweets as LinkedIn posts and Instagram posts is a killer feature.

• Instagram and YouTube: 

It's a pain to post daily videos.

But the challenge is my poison.

I can't help but persist, thanks to building in public.

I'm sticking to my commitment, and my video quality has improved significantly. However, there's still a long way to go. I'm not comfortable with videos at all, but surprisingly, YouTube growth has been better. I have 18 subscribers there, and I believe it's a better strategy to focus on YouTube as it offers global reach.

I suspect my Instagram is experiencing low discoverability because I'm not posting in Hindi.

This is the reason that I've now started to stick to the 1-minute time limit of YouTube Shorts.

Ultimately, I want to follow my funnel, which is:

Short-form content (Text and Video) > Newsletter > Long-form (Text, Audio, Video) > Community > Product/Services (Software or Digital)

Hypefury and short-form videos will help me find topics with the highest discoverability, with the added benefits that I learn copywriting and improve my speaking skills.

🎁 Branding, Animations 90% done!

Branding Strategy

I bought creative cloud and figured out how to do the animations I’ve been planning for my AI project.

I have short-listed few video editors fingers crossed, one of them turns out to be good, so that I can focus more on tech and automations.

Branding is also going strong, just need to finalise the name and get the domain. I had spent little efforts here but the idea came out exciting.

I’m planning to do south-park style animations, already figured out voices and characteristics. Next week we’ll get it off the ground.
