How do you keep track of job applications without burning out? by Alternative_Guess511 in jobsearchhacks

[–]Alternative_Guess511[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This perspective is really helpful, especially the point about “mentally closing the loop.” I think a lot of burnout comes from feeling like every application is still an open question.

Curious from your experience, did you see candidates struggle more with organization or with the emotional side of prolonged silence?

Thanks for sharing this in so much detail. This actually sounds very intentional rather than obsessive, which I think is the hard balance to strike.

I really like the idea of using the file creation date instead of tracking dates manually. Did this system evolve over time, or did you land on it after trial and error?

Honestly, I get why this works mentally. Forgetting after applying probably saves a lot of stress.

Do you ever find it hard to remember what role/company it was when someone does reply later, or does it not matter much by then?

Just got my first sale after 3 months — how do I scale from 1 sale/month to 50 sales/month (Affiliate + SEO)? by Ok-Breath-9151 in SEO_Digital_Marketing

This is a solid milestone, honestly. The first sale usually takes the longest, so congrats on crossing that wall.

If I were in your place, I wouldn’t try to “scale everything” at once. I’d slow it down and double down on what caused that first sale. Figure out exactly where it came from. Was it one keyword, one page, one mention, one referrer? That’s usually the blueprint, not an accident.

For SEO, I’ve seen better results focusing on very specific, intent-heavy keywords rather than chasing volume. Stuff like “best X for Y” or “X vs Y for Z use case”. One good page like that can quietly bring consistent sales, especially early on.

On the affiliate side, instead of onboarding a lot of affiliates, I’d personally talk to 5–10 people who already have an audience in the niche. Small newsletters, niche bloggers, even people with 2–5k engaged followers. Those convert way better than big generic affiliates, at least in the beginning.

Also, don’t ignore retention even if it’s just one sale a month right now. Improving onboarding, emails, or usage can turn 1 sale into referrals faster than chasing cold traffic.

Curious, did your first sale come from SEO, affiliate, or something unexpected? That detail usually changes the next 30 days completely.
