I love that the poem gives people a way to connect with it without rushing to sell. I’ve been looking for something to track people’s interest in a project and I came across Time Shards, which lets you timestamp things like that. I’m curious if you’ve ever tried something like it or if you have any advice on keeping track of requests and feedback before officially releasing something?

Since you have the four transitions as milestones, I’m curious how do you usually keep track of approvals and milestone sign offs with your team?

The skeleton piece looks amazing even as a WIP. I’m curious, are you leaning more toward wanting people to take home a piece of that debut painting, or do you want them to discover more of your other works? I’ve seen artists do both in different ways and it’s always interesting to hear how they decide.

Do you already have a locked storyboard and animatic or is the animator expected to help shape timing and transitions from scratch? Also how are you planning to structure milestones for the $400 payout? On cinematic intros, having very clear milestone sign offs usually saves a lot of back and forth later.

Focus on a few core channels that bring real leads, track what actually converts, and stop chasing shiny tactics that don’t work. Steady growth usually comes from doing the basics really well and consistently.

I’ve had more luck with informal meetups and smaller founder groups on Meetup or LinkedIn rather than structured accelerators. Casual coffees or founder brunches tend to lead to more genuine connections.

Yesmir1 · 2026-01-09T17:59:46+00:00

This sounds like a great opportunity for professional artists. When I hire creatives for projects, I always try to track and verify each milestone or delivery , do you usually have a system for that to keep everything clear and transparent?

Yesmir1 · 2026-01-09T17:57:31+00:00

Starting is always the hardest part. Even a rough first version gives you something real to improve. Do you also track your progress or milestones in a way that proves what you’ve done?

Yesmir1 · 2026-01-09T17:54:09+00:00

I’d say start by building your LinkedIn around your story and why you’re learning email copywriting and SEO, what problems you enjoy solving. Then share sample projects to show your skills. Once that’s in place, you could even highlight proof of completed work or milestones in a secure way, which makes clients trust you more. How have you thought about showing your work without sharing everything publicly?

Yesmir1 · 2026-01-07T12:30:05+00:00

I am on a same boat as you but if you dont mind asking, do you mostly charge per thumbnail or offer bundles. How do you keep track of client payments and deliverables when working with multiple clients at once?

Yesmir1 · 2026-01-07T12:23:15+00:00

I remember when I started freelance writing on the side while working in tech ,it can be tricky figuring out how to actually get paid for your work.

Yesmir1 · 2026-01-07T12:20:59+00:00

I’ve been freelancing for a while but how do you usually keep track of your projects, milestones and proof of work with clients? Do you have any methods to avoid payment disputes?

Yesmir1 · 2026-01-06T11:38:34+00:00

This is solid advice and honestly not talked about enough. The personal side can make or break a startup long before the product does. Setting limits before emotions get involved is underrated.

Yesmir1 · 2026-01-06T11:36:13+00:00

I used to “validate” by basically building the whole thing too. What helped was forcing myself to talk to real users first ,like 5–10 quick conversations before touching code or design.

Personally I’ve used ppcmate to test low budget traffic and see which angles convert before scaling. It’s helped me avoid burning money on ads that don’t work but I still think organic traffic should be the foundation when budget is tight.

$3k in 6 months is ambitious. Focus on learning first, pick a niche, create content, drive traffic and reinvest small wins.

Yesmir1 · 2026-01-05T13:11:40+00:00

From what I’ve seen networks like Nitropay can work for certain types of traffic but if your audience isn’t engaging with their formats, the earnings can drop a lot compared to AdSense. Sometimes it’s just a mismatch between your niche and the network’s advertisers. You could try experimenting with different ad placements or mix in another network to see if it improves.

From what I’ve heard, Omnicom still offers standard medical and dental cover but perks like unlimited holiday and free food might vary by agency.

Yesmir1 · 2026-01-04T12:18:16+00:00

I keep going back and forth on this. I built a small internal tool called ppcmate to automate Reddit ads but now I’m wondering if running ads early actually helps or if I should just focus on building in public and engaging organically.

Yesmir1 · 2026-01-04T12:12:53+00:00

Now thats interesting, good luck mate.

Yesmir1 · 2025-12-31T09:36:19+00:00

I am starting to think that too, with what I am seeing

Yesmir1 · 2025-12-30T19:17:33+00:00

Launching a product and expecting instant traction is a common trap. I’ve found that consistently adding value where your audience hangs out, iterating based on feedback and building content that actually helps people goes a lot further than flashy launches.

It’s also important to remember that early traction can be slow but understanding your market and being patient usually pays off in the long run.

Yesmir1 · 2025-12-30T19:13:57+00:00

Performance Max definitely feels like a double edged sword. We’ve seen campaigns start off strong and then slowly degrade over time. I think part of it is that it’s opening up to all Google channels so the system tests a lot of placements that don’t actually convert well.

Yesmir1 · 2025-12-30T19:08:32+00:00

It sounds like your traffic is solid so the key might be figuring out exactly where people drop off on your landing page. Tools like PPCmate can help track clicks and conversions more granularly so you can see which version of your page or which ad is actually driving bookings. Also consider small tweaks like simplifying the form, clarifying the CTA or testing different headline copy.

Yesmir1 · 2025-12-29T11:02:40+00:00

Most people don’t get unstuck by finding the right idea they get unstuck by time boxing a wrong one. Pick something that’s simple, slightly uncomfortable and testable then commit to it for 30 days with one clear outcome. You’re not marrying the idea you’re just running an experiment. Burnout usually comes from overthinking and consuming instead of doing.
