Halfway through 31 launches (11th launch of 31 launches!)

Published over 2 years ago • 1 min read

Hi friends,

I'm a little more than halfway through my 31 launch journey and I'm feeling a little retrospective. The more I launch smaller projects, the more I realize I want to do bigger launches that I really care about.

My theory at the start of this was I could combine smaller launches (e.g. a podcast trailer, a podcast landing page) into bigger launches (e.g. a full podcast launch) and so far that's been working okay.

The problem is: I haven't been getting any feedback (besides silence) on some things I've put out there. For example, the Galactic SaaS podcast trailer didn't do well and I don't know exactly why (although I have a lot of theories).

In the past, this would bother me a lot. I'd tell myself: "I put 50 hours into that! How is it not doing well! People just don't get me!"

But now, since I've been focusing on smaller launches that take 5 hours or less, it doesn't bother me as much. Instead, I say: "Okay, that didn't work, maybe I can figure out why and try again."

In that spirit, I'd like to put you on the spot 😆

  • Did you watch the podcast trailer from last week?
  • If you did, what did you think? (be honest — don't spare my feelings)

I have a lot of theories about why it didn't do well (bad voice acting, hard to understand what it was about, not a compelling subject), but I can't actually know what's wrong with it without getting feedback... which is why I'm asking.

Today, I launched a series of videos, all about how you'll get burned out if you don't get feedback on a project early — so you should launch often and then combine those launches into something bigger (meta, right? 😂)

Tomorrow, I'll be launching Taking on Psychological Debt by Over-Promising the Future. So today is the last day to comment on it in the Google Doc if you want to give me feedback!

I hope you had a great weekend and I'll see you tomorrow! ☀️
