Hey there,

It's Wisdom here, and today marks Day 1 of my 100-day building in public challenge. Let me break down exactly what happened today and share the master plan.

The Challenge Structure

  • Daily commitment: 2-3 hours of focused blog work

  • Daily video documentation

  • Podcast episodes

  • Written updates (like this one!)

  • Twitter progress threads

The 45-Day Sprint: Operation $1K

Here's my clear-cut plan to generate $1,000 in 45 days:

Option A:

  • $20 commission per sale

  • Need 50 sales

  • Requires ~100 videos (being conservative)

Option B:

  • $100 commission per sale

  • Need just 10 sales

  • Still aiming for 100 videos to maximize reach
