Write something, anything…
It’s been a while since I published a post, but I need to stay in the practice of writing otherwise it gets harder to come up with anything relevant. Since we started Ballhype and this blog, I walk around with random tidbits in my head all day. Most of them don’t seem important enough to bother writing an entire post, so I accumulate them like loose change in a tip jar. I guess this is why bloggers have those posts once a week where they just link to a bunch of different stories that they find interesting. Here’s my take on the past week:
- It’s been two and a half weeks since we launched. We had the inevitable drop in traffic after we launched, plus there was Easter weekend. You can get pretty stressed out if you think about the numbers all day so we are trying to focus on what we need to do to build and sustain organic growth. Still, we do need to track stats to make sure we’re trending in the right direction and to document patterns. Weekends are slower both in terms of visitors and site activity, including blog posts that are tracked and found. Nice to know that people value their weekends for family and personal time away from the computer, although employers would probably prefer people not to be reading Ballhype on company time.
- After having our phone and therefore DSL connection go out for the third time in the last few weeks, we finally installed cable high-speed internet so that we have backup service. No more walking around outside trying to pick up a neighbor’s wireless signal. Fortunately, the neighbors on our street are all friendly retired folks who enjoy having us borrow anything from a network connection to power washers to poker tables.
- Two entrepreneurs, Kareem Mayan and Jon Bischke, are documenting the experiences of their startup at Education Revolution with incredible transparency. They’re sharing information that I’ve been hunting down myself - very useful and a great read.
