Building an AI coloring page generator in under 48 hours. 🚀

Generation page frontend has been built.

No backend implementation has been done yet. Will work on that once the UI is complete for all pages.

Would love to hear your thoughts, what could be improved.

Next: Library Page

I lied couldn't sleep.

Dashboard layout created.

Next: Create pages for "prompt" creation.

It's 5:30AM now.

Surely, I'll sleep soon. Right? Right?

P.S: I know things are not beautiful. Beauty comes later.

Roast my landing page.

I have been working on adding bedtime audiobooks to MyStoryElf, and with that came updating my landing page design.

Just have the Hero so far and it's uncomplete.

Let me know what you think.

Left = Before
Right = After

Finally, completed the audio animation. 🎉

Shoutout to @csaba.xyz, your tweet sent me down the right path.

Thanks.

This is AWESOME! 👏🏾

I found keywords this tool could rank for.

Include some in your page's meta and hero.

So Google know what the page is about and the searches to show it in.

E.g:
- [Language] Grammar Practice
- [Language] Grammar Exercises
- AI [Language] Grammar Book
- [Language] Grammar Rules

Got this Vercel Alert this morning.

Reached 50% of my monthly function invocations this month.

I don't want to randomly get caught off guard with a crazy Vercel bill in the future.

So...

How do you guys optimize your Function Invocation usage in Vercel?

I also need to get a Domain Rating above 15!

So I need to do some serious link building to improve my Domain Rating, because what on earth is this. 👇🏾

This is probably my biggest SEO bottleneck at the moment.

My November Goals🚀

Focus on getting more SEO traffic by getting on the first page of google for more keywords.

I have been waiting on Danny's new SEO course, now it's finally out. It's time to get to work.

4) Never neglect SEO ever again!!!

October was all about improving my SEO.

It's free traffic and directly results in revenue.

A few SEO tweaks TRIPLED organic search clicks from 3000/mo to 9000/mo.

3) Don't mess with what's working

I tried to switch from one-time payments to subscriptions.

It failed woefully.

It completely tanked sales and momentum.

So I switched back to one-time payments and implemented the new onboarding ideas which doubled the conversion rate.

You can either increase or decrease a customer's motivation before purchase.

Helping them find their "Ahaa" moment in the onboarding makes a huge of difference.

I let customers create a story in the onboarding so they get that moment straight away.

It improved the conversions.

1) Social Proof. Social Proof. Social Proof...

There's no such thing as too much social proof.

The site already had a bunch of it but the biggest difference this month came from adding a verified sales notification to the onboarding.

October Report 🧵:

Simple things boosted growth last month.

2 simple updates doubled my conversion rates.

1 simple focus tripled my traffic.

1 failed experiment destroyed revenue for a week.
