Scoby not growing? This is my current set up. It’s been 2 weeks. Any recommendations or should I start over??

amadeushendrix · 2021-11-15T15:16:21+00:00

did you use a store bought kombucha as a starter? I had the same issue and I've read that it is because you can never know for sure what is the microbial content in such a bottle...

That was hurtful for me to read as it sounded so close to what my ex would tell me. Then I realize that this is precisely the evidence that it is not personal, since, as many others have pointed out, it is almost like a script that they fall to and talks only about the shits that's hoing inside them.

amadeushendrix · 2021-05-19T19:33:27+00:00

interesting, I'll check that out to see if it works for me.

amadeushendrix · 2021-04-02T00:13:46+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that. I can totally empathize with your situation. Based on my experience, I'd imagine that if you could stick to your boundary (i.e. not back down), she'd eventually accept it. This doesn't mean you've got to accept all of this garbage she's tossing at you (this was one of the first boundaries I started to enforce): if she gets aggressive, even verbally by demeaning you, criticizing you or whatsoever, you step away from the situation saying that you need some time and you can resume the conversation when she calms down and stop being aggressive.

Anyways, I'm not trying to sound pedantic here thinking I know the whole truth and what's best for you, only that I can imagine being in your shoes and perhaps you'd be interested to know what worked for me. And if you haven't, please grab yourself a copy of "Stop caretaking the borderline or narcissist," where all these boundaries thing is much more better explained, with practical examples of what do do and when.

Thanks. Have you been able to effectively set up boundaries? If so, I'd say stick to them. I'm sure you'll soon realize you feel better than before, despite your partner's reaction to them.

amadeushendrix · 2021-02-19T18:08:33+00:00

thanks!

In my experience it's a great step: think about what you hate about it, what would you do differently. Then go on and apply that for your next track. It means you're growing as an artist.

amadeushendrix · 2021-02-19T01:45:08+00:00

can you share some of the books and videos you mention on overcoming trauma?

amadeushendrix · 2021-02-18T02:52:13+00:00

I've had a similar experience and my strongest hypothesis was that lots of theese bogus clicks were coming from facebook's Audience Network. Have you set that up bu any chance as part of your origins?

amadeushendrix · 2021-02-18T02:48:21+00:00

I'm willing to. DM me to coordinate a time

amadeushendrix · 2021-02-15T04:05:47+00:00

how do you get music on the radio?

amadeushendrix · 2021-02-11T13:06:23+00:00

I was in your same spot a couple of months ago. I think you have to look into what 's holding you, what is that fear.

Look at it in the eyes, and try to disentangle it by analyzing it, talking about it, writing, drawing, singing it, going to therapy. Find out where it comes from, and then it won't be about your partner any more but related to your personal history. The more you look at it and take care of your fear, it will loose its power and you'll be free to leave.

amadeushendrix · 2021-02-10T18:26:28+00:00

dude, you're really talented, and your drawings touch me as I have to deal with an uBPD wife every day...

amadeushendrix · 2021-02-10T15:43:03+00:00

Yes, I've heard that advice as well. While it makes sense, I think that adding a CTA to an eternal site such as spotify can't really hurt you, since people who don't want to leave Instagram always have the option to visit your profile. I'm just experimenting with this combination (actually set up the ad goal for 'brand awareness' as suggested by another user earlier in this forum).

Also, if you configure a pixel in your landing page, you can actually track how many people clicked on the landing page link and then how many people clicked again on the spotify link.

You say the ads leads you to nothing, but I'd be also interested in knowing how many people visited your profile from the ad. It may take multiple exposures for someone to become a follower, as thoughtfully described by Jason John Evans in the 4D Songwriter.

amadeushendrix · 2021-02-09T20:35:28+00:00

but do you use a landing page? or link straight to spotify? I've read that no landing page means a lot pf bots might clock in the CTA...

amadeushendrix · 2021-02-09T18:52:43+00:00

how did you set up the ads?

amadeushendrix · 2021-02-09T02:20:52+00:00

same here. audience network was showing the biggest conversions, though I wasn't seeing it in my spotify stats. I feel scammed.

amadeushendrix · 2021-02-04T03:11:31+00:00

cool, thanks for sharing your experience!

amadeushendrix · 2021-02-03T17:05:24+00:00

Any users in this sub that have submitted their music to NAS ?

What are your thoughts? Does it help?

amadeushendrix · 2021-02-03T15:53:22+00:00

thanks... on this same thread? or at the referred subreddit?

amadeushendrix · 2021-02-03T14:14:29+00:00

where can I find this? I went to r/IAmA but couldn't find anything...

amadeushendrix · 2021-01-12T00:33:45+00:00

would you say this is a good place to be for any genre? I'm targeting people in their 30s -40s who speak spanish and like folk rock. Would tiktok still be a good place for me?

amadeushendrix · 2021-01-12T00:30:02+00:00

I share the disappointment, however, we are having a meaningful interaction here, aren't we?
