I just bought my domain. 🎉And content is (almost) ready because I'm never satisfied with the draft! 👀 But let's see how fun it will be to build on #Wix. I was tempted to use #Framer but it's costly. #buildinpublic #website #solopreneur26 Mar 2025 15:45 +0000at://did:plc:cl4te524pi37divi2wjrogve/app.bsky.feed.post/3llc4wodz7k2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/nikita-agarwal.bsky.social/post/3lkxba6puqs2jWell, so many people are launching #directories here—I figured I'd throw my hat in the ring with Programmatic SEO template creation! 😎 If you need help with that, I’m your person.

This means AI isn’t just a tool to assist your work anymore—it’s becoming the service itself. But somehow, I feel this won’t work out in favor of creators in the long run.

Sometimes my handwriting turns completely illegible as I’ve to match their speed, but hey, I still remember the context!

I’ve already spotted 2 directory projects on BS, and one of my clients is also building one—where I’m helping with programmatic SEO template creation. Should I consider building a directory of #agencies & #freelancers/consultants? Thoughts? #buildinpublic20 Feb 2025 17:57 +0000at://did:plc:cl4te524pi37divi2wjrogve/app.bsky.feed.post/3limuhktixs2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/nikita-agarwal.bsky.social/post/3lim3cjnnsc2sWhen closing a lead, I keep it simple: ✅ Hop on a discovery call ✅ Share scope of work via email ✅ Sign the agreement ✅ Ask for a product demo No unnecessary steps. No overcomplication. Just a streamlined approach to getting started. #salesprocess #buildinpublic #solopreneur #freelancers20 Feb 2025 10:27 +0000at://did:plc:cl4te524pi37divi2wjrogve/app.bsky.feed.post/3lim3cjnnsc2shttps://bsky.app/profile/nikita-agarwal.bsky.social/post/3lieswpbd622wI share a love-hate relationship with ChatGPT! 😅 Sometimes it tries to annoy me for no reason by completely misinterpreting my prompts.

You discuss their needs, your experience & then they drop this: 0.02 cents per word. Had to double-check with my brother if they really meant $0.0002 or 2 cents. Either way, it's exploitation. 🙃 #buildinpublic14 Feb 2025 11:41 +0000at://did:plc:cl4te524pi37divi2wjrogve/app.bsky.feed.post/3li54nd7j2s2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/nikita-agarwal.bsky.social/post/3lhvmwp2hvc2iHere's a month update 📚 Pending (still searching) 🧑‍💻 6 sent so far 🫰 Done (but on lookout for more) 💯 Yet to prioritize ✉️ Got one (not a priority & not promoting) 📈 Active 💼 1 done 📖 Lagging 🏸 Hit and miss 🎴 A big YES!

However, I made sure all my client work was delivered on time! It’s easy to prioritize client work over personal branding, but it can really take a hit on your own visibility. #solopreneur #buildinpublic #freelancer11 Feb 2025 12:04 +0000at://did:plc:cl4te524pi37divi2wjrogve/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhvmjmvhj22ihttps://bsky.app/profile/nikita-agarwal.bsky.social/post/3lhehgxpmdk2bThe past few months, I tried sending cold pitches—but didn’t close a single one. Then last month, I landed two clients: one from an inbound lead on LinkedIn and another from an old client.

But these tiny inconsistencies can make an article look unpolished. That’s why it’s essential to ask for a brand’s style guide before you start writing! #buildinpublic #b2bcontent03 Feb 2025 15:40 +0000at://did:plc:cl4te524pi37divi2wjrogve/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhbuuesyzc2chttps://bsky.app/profile/nikita-agarwal.bsky.social/post/3lh26l4z6i22tThis is how my work mood board looked today! #soothingcolors #workfromcafe #buildinpublic #solopreneur #freelancer31 Jan 2025 14:12 +0000at://did:plc:cl4te524pi37divi2wjrogve/app.bsky.feed.post/3lh26l4z6i22thttps://bsky.app/profile/nikita-agarwal.bsky.social/post/3lh22phnqik2kEditing Rule 101: If you have to write a 1,000-word article, cut it down to 500. Then, add back another 500. Repeat the process until there’s no more redundancy. That's how you create a clean, valuable piece—this rule set the foundation for my writing career! #buildinpublic #b2bcontent #freelancer31 Jan 2025 13:03 +0000at://did:plc:cl4te524pi37divi2wjrogve/app.bsky.feed.post/3lh22phnqik2khttps://bsky.app/profile/nikita-agarwal.bsky.social/post/3lgzuvsdxz22kI've been MIA for a couple of days!
