Captain's log-

Small SEO fixes, spam subscription issue, and low energy

What I worked on today

  • Added missing keywords and a canonical tag to improve SEO.
  • Found an issue where a spam email subscriber signed up with a fake email.
  • Realized I submitted subscribers kit.com incorrectly, causing automatic subscriptions.
  • Changed new signups to inactive until users confirm their email to prevent spam.

Lessons learned

  • Even small SEO fixes can contribute to better search engine rankings.
  • Handling subscription validation properly is crucial to avoid spam and improve list quality.
  • Some days are just low-energy days, and that’s okay.

Challenges faced

  • Was too tired to focus on product development.
  • Disappointed that I didn’t tweet or make progress on the core features.

What’s next

  • Refocus on product development and make progress on core features.
  • Plan better time management to ensure daily marketing activities like tweeting get done.
  • Monitor subscription activity to ensure no more automatic signups happen.
