What would make it so easy or so enticing that youโ€™d post here at least once a week? I love seeing comments (theyโ€™re the spark that keeps conversations flowing), but Iโ€™d also love to read more of your thoughts โ€” and even see more of you โ€” right here in the community. Your input will help me create prompts, spaces, or habits that make sharing feel natural. Soโ€ฆ what would help you start more conversations here?

TBH If there were posts that helped me with problems I am having. Selfish, I know, but you asked. For example, right now I could use someone who could go through our pitch deck and make it formatted in the same font, color, etc. It's 17 slides and I suck at art. I only have a budget of around $200 because I estimate it's 2 hours work and I won't be able to have it ready until Monday night and I need it by Thursday, so I will end up doing it myself and it will only be okay. Did I mention I suck at art? I would LOVE to have people post about what they are available to do, prices and turnaround time because I often have one-off tasks like this that I end up doing myself because finding someone reliable and good would take too much time and the internet is full of scammers. So, self-promote away, y'all.

How do I get people to try our games? It takes time and interaction. You can't just post "Buy my thing!" and people flock to you, no matter how awesome your thing is. You need to build credibility.
What are your plans for the weekend?
I know some people work regardless of the day of the week, some just chill out on weekends, and others have occasional (or regular) great plans. Where do you stand on this?

I flew to Halifax, Nova Scotia, where I am now. It's quite nice.
Day 6: Ask a Question Youโ€™d Want Answered
Ask a question to the group that would help you move forward. It can be about launching, engagement, tech, monetization, anything. ๐Ÿ‘€ Then scroll back later today and reply to at least one other personโ€™s question too.

@Blair Stevenson Thatโ€™s kind of what I have done for lack of other choices. Often people THINK sales will be easy until they have to take a crack at it.

@Rob Alvarez We had someone doing the community management end and she did a good job as far as getting us views and downloads of our free games but the pay off was not sufficient to justify a full-time position. I am considering hiring a part-time person or a service for it in the next six months or so but havenโ€™t looked into it much. The one service I know about is overpriced and mostly AI generated slop but TBH, I have looked into it very little.

Whatโ€™s one insight, shift, or small win you've had since starting this challenge? Doesnโ€™t have to be deep โ€” sometimes realizing โ€œthis isnโ€™t that hardโ€ *is* the breakthrough. ๐Ÿ“ฃ Post it as a comment or full post

How about two insights? One is that I don't have time for a lot besides building our products at the moment. I'm creating an AI platform to write code to make games in response to questions asked the user. It is coming along. We also have a contract to make five "bell-ringer" games for classrooms. So, swamped. Thank goodness we have a new person coming on board next month. Two, conversations have to be authentic. In my limited time, I am responding to people in real conversations. I still might do a thumbs up or "great job" on a friend's post, but in the limited time I have, I'm making real comments on LinkedIn or in email responses to inquries.
