Dan Mayer's Blog

Wow I am sick of applications, Ben is as well. We started on three applications last Saturday and have been writing a ton ever since then. As most of you know especially if you ever read this blog, writing is not my specialty. This means I have had to read and reread my paragraphs over and over with spell checks and grammar checks. Then since my writing is horrible anything I write has to go through Ben before it gets on the apps so it has to be even worse for him.

Anyways in writing we have more clearly defined our business plan, users, time line, strengths, weakness, and a whole lot more. So over all it was a good thing and we have learned a lot and feel more confident about our ideas, but when you want to start working on something and you want to code (we do have our first little bits of the program started) it is really hard to just focus on writing.

So yeah we were writing for 12 hours on Saturday and another 10 or so on Sunday but we are almost done with the applications which means soon we can get back to working on the actual project.

I also learned that the ads on my energy drink site have a CTR (Click Through Rate) that is 41.5 times better than the Facebook. I think that is something to be proud of, even if they are pulling in millions.
