I have probably spent way too much time on WorkoutPro over the last couple of months, with little to no reward.

I have recently managed to gather a lot of feedback and spend a good amount of time implementing all of it. Now it's time to stop devving too much and focus more on marketing.

This is how I am approaching it:

• Programmatic SEO (+1400 pages generated with animations + steps for each exercise)

• Content marketing (my friend and co-founder Fehmy Fatnassi does the marketing side and will be pushing a lot of content on Instagram, Youtube and Tiktok)

• Influencer outreach

• Affiliate program

• Free tool marketing (will be generating simple but cool GPT wrappers and launch them on ProductHunt to get more traffic)

Let's see how it works out!

I was doing some SEO research and realized I could just build products targetting the Spanish market and easily rank for some of their keywords. Competition was much lower over there - so I started searching for possible startups I could build where I would also learn some new things.

I realized there was no AI based profile picture generator targeting the Spanish-speaking market and thought it would be a good entry-level challenge to get to know how image AI models work.

It was a long struggle, but I managed to get it working. You can now easily generate profile pictures of yourself:

• Upload + 20 images

• Select styles

• Model gets trained and images get generated

It was a fun project to work on, and I am starting to see some decent traffic even though I have never posted about it anywhere. I even made a couple of sales!

The project is in early stage, with room for improvement:

• Optimize storage (currently on Supabase but eating lot of BW)

• Improve resemblance - pretty good already but want to take it to the next level

• Automate a couple of things

Ideally I would like to build out a full-fletched AI photo studio for the Spanish market!

Day 3 of working on IndieLogs.

What I did today:

• Improved log page layout

• Started making the landing page - looks horrible as of now

• Build the ranking component - can rank startups based on category, # of logs, latest update etc

  
  

Also, what's a startup without bugs right? I found the following ones so far:

• Updating the date leads to the rest of the info being deleted (this was painful, I had written a long text that I lost)

• Even startups with 0 logs still display 1

• Log count are not updated

• Creating a new log, does not have its actual ID, therefore you can not edit it!

Next on the to-do-list:

• Adding startup details to logs

• Further improve landing page

• Onboarding flow + payment and subscriptions (copy from WorkoutPro)

Allright, second day of working on IndieLogs.com, and I am pretty happy with the progress so far. I feel I have gotten much better and faster at building new products after a year of building consistently.

This is what I have done so far:

• Built the individual project page

• You can add, edit and remove logs from

• You can add, edit and remove startups

• Implemented WYSIWYG editor

• Got a nice UI looking over here

Tomorrow I will continue and hopefully finish the core indielog page. After that, I need to build the following for the MVP:

• Landing page

• Onboarding flow

• Rankings (based on most logs, categories, latest updates, ..)

That's it I think. Will try to limit the scope of the MVP and launch ASAP - my other projects I have worked months before launching. I want to do it differently this time.

The coolest thing would be to make profit with this startup while using it to document the entire process. Fingers crossed!
