60 Day Challenge – takeaways from failure

We started our 60 day challenge with naïve visions of El Dorado, getting to 2 million users in 60 days would be an impressive feat for any website, much less one that we quickly put together. We quite obviously failed in our challenge, but only be 1.997 million users, or 99%! This is better thanContinue reading “60 Day Challenge – takeaways from failure”

DAY 58 – CHALLENGES IN VIRTUAL EDUCATION

Oh so close to that 2800+ on http://www.amibormal.com by the end of day 57, but just barely off. I had a lot of discussion around challenges in virtual education as that was basically my homework. We were figuring out what we’re going to do with Bormal and so we’re learning about the challenges in manyContinue reading “DAY 58 – CHALLENGES IN VIRTUAL EDUCATION”

Clearly, that goal is looking quite lofty at the moment, but there’s nothing that says it’s impossible. In these last 52 days, we’ve made so many changes and updates. We’ve added moreContinue reading “DAY 52 – COMING ON THE FINAL STRETCH”

DAY 50 – 2698

We’ve hit over 2700 during the day today, but at the end of the day yesterday when we count our users, we were at 2698. I’m super happy to see this growth as we go, we may not have grown at the rate I wanted, but it’s super exciting to see things start to pickContinue reading “DAY 50 – 2698”
