Consider subscribing my first project of build in public if you haven’t already.
I research and post playbooks for growth hacking using AI tools.
First Milestone: $5k/mo using the newsletter alone
👋 Hey Ultrapeople, it’s Vaibhav.
In the last Ultraupdate, I told you about:
buying back time
In Today’s Issue:
As we come to the final part of the challenge where we are designing the system so that it can be repeated without me, my focus would be to at least meet the criteria of $5,000 by the end of the month (April 19th). We are running on $2,500 as of now, and the final stretch would include testing out different ad platforms. I have in my list is Refined Ads as well as ConvertKit.
So, the idea is to diversify and draw water from all these sources wherever I can. The idea is that I'll have four ad platforms that I can diversify my intake of monetization with, and then maybe we'll be able to figure out the outreach system and build it quickly so that our organic ads are also figured out.
Meanwhile, I have been trying to get someone to take over the newsletter publishing and managing part (the newsletter operator). But I haven't been able to find someone reliable. The people I found have to be trained extensively, which is not my first priority. I'm thinking to have a few freshers and then one leader who could run the newsletter and so on. That is my main goal for this week - automations, and then also testing refined ads and ConvertKit so that we can diversify enough. Of course, building out the outreach system is also exciting stuff coming in next week. See you guys then!
