I’ve been working fleshing out the “service side” of the business a bit. Instead of building an agency site, I’m leaning into my personal branding for this.

Celebrating an exciting win today! Siren Affiliates got its first 100% organic sale today. The visitor found me from a search engine, and decided to buy. No affiliates, no email list, no campaign, nothin’. Just good ol’ fashioned SEO. 🎉🎉🎉
I’ve sold several licenses since launching, but this is the first time that one just happened using nothing but SEO, and my website. REALLY exciting!

Just did my first full-time payout for myself from my own business. Leaning heavily into the Profit First. I’m using YNAB to implement the approach, since it’s what I know already. Kinda fun to see the carefully planned strategy pan out.

I have clientele who are full-time RVers (surprise!)
One of them just rescheduled a meeting because they’re about to head into the mountains on the way to their next campsite, and their cell signal is spotty. I’ve never felt better-prepared to relate to a client in my life.

Started work on a fun Gravity Forms/Elementor customization for a client. We’re building a highly customizable quote tool with some custom pricing logic. The goal is to make this feel naturally integrated into their site instead of a highly customized separate thing.

Woke up this morning and had the most productive morning I’ve had in weeks. I literally feel lighter knowing that my GTD system is starting to get re-assembled. Thanks so much for the advice, y’all!

Doing some client work today, helping them migrate their MVP prototype into a more-stable plugin so we can start making some big upgrades and integrations later-on.
PS: I’m actively looking for clients, so if you’re looking for a WordPress developer with a ton of experience on building plugins at the right scale for your needs, reach out!

I had back to back meetings pretty much all day today. Talking with new Siren customers in 1:1 calls, had a call with my coach, and even recorded a podcast interview. My brain is so full right now!

A Season Of Change
It’s been a heck of a week. I left my job, my wife started working on her art professionally, my kids started going to public school for the first time ever, I released a big Siren update, and I started picking up freelance work.

Working on turning a client’s functional prototype into a WordPress plugin this morning. I helped them map out an upgrade path prior to this, but today I get to break ground on the code. Let’s do this!
