Welcome to day four of the useaffiliates.com build log! This series covers my journey of building a business from scratch in public. If you missed day three, you could check it out here. I also uploaded today's Twitch stream to YouTube if you want to watch the replay.
This week's theme was not only to design the UI of useaffiliates.com, but also to set up the content channels for this project. And I have to say, cross-posting to many platforms is very prone to errors.
It already happened that I forgot to post one of the build logs to one of the platforms, and I forgot to make one of the YouTube videos public. The result of this is that it doesn't give a great first impression to people who, for example, open a link and get to a 404 YouTube page. Chances are those people will stop reading the build log and won't return for the next one.
Since I use Notion for this project, I thought I would create a system to avoid making these publishing mistakes. Habit trackers are a popular use of Notion tables, and it is pretty much all that I need to stay on top of publishing the build logs and other content.
Towards the end of the project, I can also use this table to include data about how many views and post interactions there were per platform. I think that would be a good and insightful conclusion to this whole cross-posting experiment.
Currently, I am only focusing on macro content; the stream, the YouTube archive, and these "long-form" build logs. However, I am not utilizing all this content to its full potential since I am not creating more content out of it.
I could make more clips on Twitch and post those to social media. Or I could create images of segments of these build logs...
But, as with many things at the moment, so many ideas, so little time. I will start thinking of a system to create and publish micro-content with the remaining time I have.
