Not sure if this is
[2022-09-24 04:21:29 PM] : Not sure if this is the right channel, but I wanted to share something, maybe it helps somebody else:
I purchased 30x500 earlier this year and I have shipped 1 or 2 ebombs.
That’s it.
It was so much friction for me, because I ignored the advise of Alex and Amy: I picked a niche I don’t know.
Why? Because it’s what I wanted to develop in. But this added sooo much friction. I had to research every question. And English isn’t my native language. Writing doesn’t come easy to me. Nothing but friction. An ebomb took more than 8 hours for me and I wasn’t very good in it.
I felt like I should have gone at least 5 months without positive feedback.
What changed and why am I positive now?
I did a course called 30x500. It encourages daily writing on Twitter. A smaller barrier for me. I just focused on the habit of daily writing “something”. Most of the times 150-300 words.
Now I am adding customer safari to it and want to make the daily writing even easier by knowing specific pain points.
I’m rewatching the video where amy adds worldview, jargon and buys to the pains and my “need to do it perfectly” is gone.
I’m so happy, that I have the feeling of establishing atomic habits towards my goal.
Thanks for your great content and thanks for this great slack community. I never stopped reading. It really motivates me how you stick to the process :raised_hands:

[2022-09-24 04:24:33 PM] : PPS: I have three atomic habits in place right now, if you’re interested in testing it yourself:
• Ship it (one twitter thread a day)
• Customer Safari in a slack channel: Just one thread (most of the time I add 2 or 3 more to it)
• Engage under 3 other creators on Twitter
The writing takes 30-60 min a day. But the rest just 10-20 min.
I hope the safari will reduce the time invested in writing to under 30 min and I’ll have free time to write a blog post from the threads.

You allow life to happen and get back when you are ready.
[2022-09-29 02:33:48 PM] : Hey Frederik! I guess you meant you took "Ship 30 for 30", didn't you? :blush: If so, Hi from a fellow shipper! :wave: I'm still trying to figure out how to combine my new daily writing habit with 30x500. Let's keep in touch, man!
[2022-09-29 02:39:22 PM] : Ha! I'm even already following you on Twitter! :sweat_smile:
[2022-09-30 10:51:07 PM] : Hi Frederik, I was in the same boat a few months ago. I had zero safari data and zero skills, and making ebombs had a lot of friction because I felt like having only 5 or 10 safari notes didn't cut it to make a good post. (Or so I thought) But I also thought about what Alex said in the intro lessons — "Time marches on".
It's either I let a month pass by with 1 "perfect ebomb" but zero new subscribers, or I publish "imperfect ebombs" and continually grow through the fast feedback loop from Safari -> Ebomb -> Engagement.
The latter is the path. Perfect ebombs are imperfect anyway because of the lack of skills.
[2022-10-06 10:36:41 AM] : Thanks Al,
I guess I’m just figuring out what an imperfect ebomb looks like.
As I already said, I’m focusing atm more on my habits. So daily little safaring and little writing on Twitter.
Writing ebombs on my blog is the next level, but I try to master this one first (or at least manage to establish it)
