How to write a killer landing page that converts & more

Hi friends,

I’m struggling.

I’m struggling to keep up writing and publishing my daily atomic essays.

I’m 66 days into this streak, and I really really really don’t want to break it.

Weirdly that would feel like I’ve failed. Even though the feedback I’m getting is clearly telling me that I’m doing good.

So, I’m toying with the idea to write and publish only every other day. That would free up time to distribute my writing beyond Twitter (right now, that’s the only place where I post).

Because what’s the point of writing if not enough people get the chance to read it.

What do you think? Should I break my streak?

Now here’s what I want to share with you this week:

Building in public: Why it’s hard and worth doing anyway 

We’re running a build in public 40-day challenge for our course creators in the ODCC Fellowship. But it’s not that easy. I’ve written about the apprehension to building in public and how you can do it anyway.

PS: I was interviewed today by Ish Baid for the Reshaping Education podcast 🎙
