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.
