4 Blog Posts! + Notion Product!
I've written 4 blog posts and will be releasing a Notion product this week! Launch! Launch! Launch!
Hello to everyone! I'm Ugur, and first of all, 38 more people came to my newsletter and reached 76 subscribers. This is a great thing. 🙂 Last month, 3000 unique visitors came to my blog. Then suddenly it fell. 😅 First of all, I will share with you what articles I wrote.
Blog Posts I've Written So Far
I Will Make 1 Notion Product Every Month!
I am very hopeful for 2023. I will try to make 1 Notion product every month. It's like 12 startups in 12 months, but that can be scary. 12 months is scary. But 5 months is not scary. I can develop 5 Notion products in 5 months. They will all be interconnected. I will share the development processes on Twitter.
The name of my product to be published in January is NotionPlus. (NotionPlus.dev, I haven't edited the site yet.) NotionPlus (N+) is a Notion Template where more than 400+ components are compiled for those who will make a website with Notion. When you get this template set, you will reach many designs that you can use in tools such as Superso and Potion. You can create your own designs if you want. I am very hopeful for this product.
I'm giving a 60% discount only to my Newsletter subscribers. Coupon code "Newsletter".
I'm thinking of posting it on Product Hunt next Tuesday or Wednesday. The day may change. On the day I will publish it, I will share the newsletter and share the details with the product. You can also upvote or reach the product.
I'm Learning!
I'm learning. I always learned. I will always keep learning. Please let me know if there are any misbehaviors etc right now. Otherwise, I may unwittingly do this behavior and give you a bad experience.
I shrugged myself off again with the knowledge I gained from books and surfing the internet. I have a goal for this year. For this purpose, I must work with discipline. I have to set up a good strategy. I have to stick to the plan. But I see that lately, I've been acting out of plan. For example, I added Patreon to the blog. It was not my intention to be supported with Patreon. Or make money with ads.
What's My Purpose?
My main goal is to reach a lot of potential customers. (This year) That's why I'm blogging. That's why I try to be active on Twitter. But I am enjoying this thing. I want to do a good job. Maybe I will never be able to meet you face to face (I'm in Turkey 🙂) but I want to make a positive touch on your life.
Of course, I also want to earn money. Of course, it may sound a little selfish, but I want to live in prosperity. I want me and my family to receive proper health care in case of any health problems. Or I want to be able to have fun like a normal person. I want to have time to have fun and collect good memories. This is my biggest goal.
Of course, I don't have just one goal. More than one. This is just part of it. I see myself thinking. Is this selfish? I don't know… (After some thought…) I don't think so. Because I think it would be selfish if I kept this information to myself. But right now I'm sharing it with you. Do it too! 🙂
Let me be a little pessimistic. 😅 I want to tell you that I don't feel alive. I don't live. More like I'm trying to survive. It's about the economic situation of my country (Turkey) and people's perspectives.
I am 25 years old and have accumulated very few memories in my lifetime. This makes me feel so sad. For years, I developed projects on the computer in my room. Just so we can live a better life. After I found the formula, I wanted to share it with everyone. But I'm 25. After all that work, I couldn't spend enough time with my family. For years! This is truly my biggest regret. I've become so obsessed with age. I have to be a millionaire somehow this year. I may not be a dollar millionaire, but I think I can be a Turkish lira millionaire. I will share my process with you in this newsletter. Will I be a millionaire this year?
I think this time I have attained or am beginning to attain that wisdom. I learned what to do right. It really took a lot of sweat, tears, time, energy, mental health, and money to learn. (I am referring to a line from the movie called The PadMan. I watched it 4 times. I am still under the influence.) But I feel like it will happen this time. Because I will do everything according to the book. I will be honest with you. I will avoid “soulless automated things”. Maybe I will sleep a little less, but I will make a serious effort to write those blog posts with quality and value. I will work to make awesome products. I will also work like crazy to improve myself.
Please tell me if I do something wrong. Be brutally honest with me! If I succeed, you will have a great roadmap. Then do it yourself. Be prosperous too!
My goals this year:
To earn 1 million TL. (To earn $60,000.)
To reach 1000 newsletter subscribers.
10,000 followers on Twitter. (I currently have 834 followers.)
To be 70 kilos. 😅 (85 kilos now. I haven't eaten white bread for 2 months. I have been doing yoga for a week.) If I create an income stream, I will go into fitness.
To earn $5000 MRR. (If I earn 5000$ per month, it will be 60.000$, 1 million TL per year. So 5000. But first, of course, to earn 1$ MRR. 🙂)
There are Innovations on My Website!
I'm trying to improve the experience so you can better read the posts on the blog. I read books and do research for you to enjoy the blog.
Having Difficulty Reading Lists
My listings are read a lot. Personally, I had a hard time reading it. So I wrote a striped code with CSS. This made it easier to read.
CSS code:
.entry-content ol li:nth-child(odd), .entry-content ul li:nth-child(odd){ color:#fff; background:#333; }Google Ads
I'm listening to Unmarketing right now. There he emphasized the importance of removing ads. I immediately removed the ads on my blog. Instead, I published the most shared posts. In this way, he argues that his visitors will be kept on the blog longer. I've tried. We'll see together. 🙂
Bookmark
I made a page where I share interesting or useful websites that I see while surfing the internet. Because I am a person who loves to share. 😁 I used Airtable APIs and PHP to do this. I am using the form feature of Airtable. If I see an interesting website, I fill out the form and it is added to the table. It is then updated on the website. However, I couldn't get it sorted properly on the website. There is a bug somewhere but I haven't been able to fix it yet. It is currently listed as mixed. No problem. After all, they have dates underneath. Thanks for that too. 😅
Easter Eggs 🥚
I have to admit to you that I love easter eggs. Even my oldest products have easter eggs. I added a few easter eggs to my blog. Let's see who will find it. I even tried so hard to find one easily. I will share the people who find the easter eggs I added both on Twitter and in the next newsletter. You don't have to give your name. I respect. I say viewer who does not want to be named. 🙂 Of course, I can do that if you contact me when you find the easter egg. 🙂
Extra
I loved the thumbnail of my last blog post. I just want to say this. 🙂 This much. 🙂
PS: I realize now that it would be nice if it was a little more symmetrical. 😂
What Should I Continue to Do?
If you think I'm good at something, feel free to say it. That way, I can keep doing what you like. Remember, I will try to do everything to please you. 🙂 So as much as I can. I may not be able to buy you a luxury model car, but I can improve your blog reading experience. Or I may not be able to make you a pizza and send it home, but if I earn money from the products, I can order a pizza. 😂 dlfkgjdlg If I have enough money, I can turn into Mr.Beast in an instant. So why not? 😂
What Would You Recommend for a Better Experience?
I have a word:
“You don't need to build rockets to change the world. Even a single needle can change the world.”

I'm telling you, you don't have to force yourself to say big things. It could even be something very small. It may or may not be. So I'm not forcing you to say it. (When I wrote this sentence, I thought of a scene from the movie A Futile and Stupid Gesture 😅)
Happy Ending
Three apples fall from the sky. Someone falls into the head of those who read this article, and finds gravity ldkfj 😂. One falls on the writer's head and faints with fright. One of them falls into the head of the pizzeria and delivers to the wrong place. 😅
