AdamJBallon Ask HN: How do you manage your one-man project?

I use Asana to keep track of projects and longer term commitments but when it comes to the ONE thing I have to get done and then some sub tasks pen and paper has never failed me. Don't spend too long on this and just focus on getting the work done.

AdamJBallon Ask HN: Sales or Inbound Marketing?

Thanks for the reply. I've heard of HubSpot and read their blog frequently. I've got some experience in inbound marketing but was looking to see see if it would be better to get on the phone calling up leads all day rather than writing blog posts, email marketing etc for Concept Cupboard.

AdamJBallon Ask HN: Review my startup, conceptcupboard.com

Yeah, we had a refresh in February and got quite a lot of good feedback on it. I think the style that we have on the site it good but the elements and content we showcase needs more looking at.

I think this is one of our main problem areas. I've been A/B testing for the last 6 months but I think this is something that I can drastically improve on.

Thank you for your time.

AdamJBallon Ask HN: Review my startup, conceptcupboard.com

Thanks for the comments. Totally agree about the video, getting onto the creator to cut that down.

Will make sure to get more case studies onto the home page as currently they are only found via our footer (which no one really looks at).

Did you find you knew how the whole site worked pretty quickly or did you have to delve into more detail in the site?

Thanks,

Adam
