AI is good at coding and answering questions because it was trained on code and answers.

Next step is to train on sales data, patterns, marketing campaigns, strategies, etc to have a real marketer instead of stupid header generator.

I'm going to focus the next couple of weeks on DX for Webcrawlerapi.

In order to do this, I will build a small side project using my own API.

Let's see how it is to be a client of my own service.

November πŸ“‰

After receiving some positive signals from previous months, I got zeroes in November.

Apparently, the way I'm building gives zero results.

I now want to pause endless grinding and think about how to work next.

Thanks, mate. I will keep in mind this. I will take a break for a while to rethink everything. Apparently, the way I'm doing it is not helping me reach my goals.

I don't. I don't know who is my ICP for Zillow specifically. I see that there is demand and would like to get few users to check why they are using it.
I did it a couple of times for crawling.
No, this is not my first project and yes it was started this year.

If making money with business was so easy then why I found this statistic:
18.4% fail within the first year
49.7% fail within the first 5 years
65.6% fail within the first 10 years
Only 25% make it beyond 15 years
?

That’s true, I’m a bit irritated. After 6 years of failing - for me it a rocket science. If your statement is correct it means I very dumb.

I think it is an incorrect generalization. All people are different, have different skills, backgrounds, starting position, capital, social capital, etc.

Really? How much do you earn? How much businesses have you started?

This should give Google an understanding that Webcrawlerapi is good enough to satisfy users searching for "Zillow Scraper".
To nail it, use open-source Zillow Scraper with the link to my API.

So, in a while, I added a new Zillow Search Scraper, which allows you to search Zillow objects via specific criteria. Moreover, I wrote a blog post announcing both scrapers and relinked each with the other.

...this is not what people expect to see there, so Google dropped me out.
But that, in return, was a signal to me.

Nice. I checked it out. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it gives you a UI to scrape a single page within a browser.
Something similar to this: pandaextract.com
