Business Marketing with Nika
23 replies
New week ahead. Let's break down what you want to get done. I am pretty sure that this make you more accomplished.
👇
Since I will be having a few trips abroad, I have to complete several tasks this week:
🎥 Record a YouTube interview with another guest (this one develops a tool for Threads platform)
🧲 Prepare lead magnet for my newsletter
📣 Setup tiers for sponsorship in a completely new tool
👩💻 Finally answer 1-month abandoned messages :D
📝 Prepare content (scripts for ideas I was "forced to" haha, newsletter and so on)
Of course, these are only for my projects. I split it into my projects and the projects of others where I am involved... so...
I need to also share those 3 tools that keep me accomplished:
✅ Apple Reminders (for scheduling those tasks)
✅ Trello (for ideas and shortcuts to sources)
✅ Notion/Figma for writing (designing): I execute the idea complexly there
Now, it is your turn:
– What are you about this week?
– What 3 tools do you use to accomplish this?
– Feedback: Does it help you write things down like this?
We can do it more often if yes.

🎨 I'm going to do a lot of design work as always, so Figma.
✅ I started to manage my todos using Amie recently
📝 I'm restarting my newsletter, Brainware on Substack. I'm writing it in UpNote.
The next edition of Brainware will be out this week. If you are curious about it, here’s an older post about efficient creativity: https://brainware.substack.com/p...

@busmark_w_nika What is your point of view on Substack?

@martinmaricak Do you mean this amie? https://amie.so/
I will have a look at the newsletter. BTW, why do you prefer Subsctack? and not for example Beehiiv or Mailchimp?
@busmark_w_nika
Yes, I mean https://amie.so. It's beautifully designed. I like the connection between todos and calendar. A bit disappointed from the email client though.
Thanks for taking a look! I like the social aspect of substack. I'm writing the newsletter to spark discussions, and find interesting people rather than to monetize it. Which tool would you recommend?

@martinmaricak I see, I bumped into them a few months ago when they launched on PH. I am on Mailchimp rn but see many people how they are satisfied with Beehiiv. So also considering it. People post about it massively. It is really convincing.

@martinmaricak I think it is more about community, something like a blog forum. But offers many features too.
InOrbit.io
I use inorbit.io for all my projects and tasks. slack for communications. figma for designs. visual studio code for website and gmail surprisingly for notifications.

@roycewong i also use private messages to notify me about certain things :D I schedule them :D

@hamza_afzal_butt I love how flexible you are :D you can't stop :D
- Working on an illustration package, I have to complete 10 illustrations this week.
- First tool paper to sketch my ideas first, then Adobe Illustrator for the design. use Basecamp to keep track of my to-do list and manage my timesheet.
- I use Notion or Basecamp to write down all my tasks and reminders of deadlines.

@priyanka27 Priyanka, are you also an illustrator? What else do you do? :D
Thanks for sharing (the basecamp especially, didn't know that)
@busmark_w_nika Haha, yes I am! I will share a couple of my sketches and final work on X. I'll let you know what else I've been doing in your next discussion when you ask something about it. :D

@priyanka27 Tag me then + your outputs :D
This week, I'm diving into coding challenges like a tech-savvy Sherlock Holmes! My trio of trusty tools includes VS Code for coding magic, GitHub for version control, and caffeine for those late-night debugging sessions. How about you? What's on your agenda, and which tools make your tech quests thrillingly efficient? Let's gear up! 🚀
We are preparing for our beta launch. ✅
Tools:
We develop our platform with our platform itself - so we are our own main tool 😅
I will also use the following a lot
- Gitea
- Miro
- Figma
Feedback: I think it's important to write down your plans and structure them, otherwise you quickly get lost in micro-management. So especially at the beginning of the week I think a discussion/post like this is very clever :D

@federico_zuluaga_knorr Okay, good to know, you will be an achiever seeker when we keep these posts :D when is planned that launch? :D
@busmark_w_nika Let's goo haha 💯
We already have some users with larger projects on our platform as well as some early early access users, but we plan to launch the open beta in beginning of August.
If you know any web developers who like to try new things and get faster, let me know. 👀

@federico_zuluaga_knorr have you tried to reach out to some on Twitter? There are many people under #buildinpublic hashtag.
@busmark_w_nika Not yet, but thank you very much for the tip 🙌
#buildinpublic doesn't quite apply to us, but I will definitely try other hashtags.
I’m focused on refining my content strategy for better engagement. Tools: Trello, Google Analytics, Grammarly.
This week, I need to finish updating our website, finalize a marketing plan, and start a new project proposal. The tools that help me are Google Calendar for scheduling, Evernote for organizing notes, and Asana for tracking project progress.
I'm focusing on preparing a presentation, writing a blog post, and completing some client work. I rely on Microsoft Teams for communication, Todoist for task management, and Dropbox for file storage and sharing.
