Long post alert 🚨 I’m really, really grateful to everyone who DM’d me after my last post. I’ve been trying everything, but not doing the most important things well. Your messages reminded me of that. I started this 100-day posting challenge to keep myself accountable. Somewhere along the way, I started putting pressure on myself to be good at this, too. I don’t want to be famous. I just want people to try Chomp and tell us how we can make it better. But when you’re building a product, getting people to care about what you’re making is part of the work. And getting comfortable enough to post every day has taken me this entire year. In April, I finally filmed my first talking-head video. Three hours filming, seven hours editing. The final video was over two minutes long. I didn’t even have an Instagram account yet. In July, I joined a 30-day challenge. Each video took four to six hours to film and edit. By the end, I was so burned out that I took another 30 days off. That round brought in 21.7K total views on my new Instagram account. When Chomp was finally approved by the App Store, I knew I had to try again. Making content myself was the fastest, cheapest way for us to test ideas and learn what resonated. This time, each post takes two hours max to film and edit. September: 74.5K views. October so far: 964.1K. Views aren’t downloads. But seeing my progress at something I struggled to even start gives me hope. If I can figure this part out, maybe I can figure out how to get more people to try Chomp, too. That’s what I’m here to do. Day 26/100 390/100,000 downloads So much more work to be done, but I'm here for it. And if you're here too, thank you 🫶
