Mastodon, hands down. It has a smaller community, but it is lively and not toxic.

Focus on sales. The rest will follow.

Why did I start? I thought something needed to be done, so I did. What do I struggle the most now? Reality. I am not too young any more. I have more things to do, and they take too much of my free time.

No if you have (or are) a good writer. Videos make web pages too large, and people are not always in a comfortable place to listen to what it says. You cannot miss with a good text.

I need everything in ITS place, regardless of how many places we are talking about.

Make the subject clear. Clear subjects get better open rates. Do not waste people's time trying to guess because they will not.

It is what works best.

Self-hosted, hands down. Else, you will be working for them instead of for yourself.

We need an alternative to search engines. Work in progress, but I will launch soon.

Speak with the SEO professional before designing your website. If it is already made, speak with him before launching it. If it is already launched, speak with him today.

Yes, it is the second most important pillar of SEO.

I only have one: HTML e-mails. Some people just add too much graphics to their (news)letters. I prefer simple e-mails: just simple text, reasonably short, clear, with complete information. When you have many e-mail addresses, you just need an e-mail client. I suggest Thunderbird.

No, I think it is a hype that soon will pass (like the Metaverse, does anyone remember that?). Why? Because nothing can replace human creation, no matter how hard computers try, also because companies will eventually start suing AI creators for copyright infringment. As you may already know, AI does not create. It just builds a collage of real human's work.

Oscar Wilde wrote, "The best way to get rid of a temptation is to fall for it". If your mind is wandering because you need a rest, take it. Ten minutes sweeping or cleaning the kitchen do not hurt, and then you can retake what you were doing with renewed energy. We were not created to work like machines. It is unhealthy to even try.

Learning online marketing. It makes a world of difference.

Laravel!? Can we go back to Cobol too?, hehehehe No, discard Laravel, please. Take a look at Astro.

mm…. To sum it up: 1. Do not multitask 2. Use a mind map for the big pitcure 3. Use one or several to-do lists, as you need The big picture will help you prioritise. To-do lists will show you what comes next.

I respect a genuine cold-email. I despise spam. If you do not understand how to initiate contact with another human being, I can only suggest you to find someone who can to help you.

Taking many breaks, as often and as long as I need.

Any self-hosted one you may link to use. I advise against using e-mail marketing services. They are not worth the cost.
