I was reluctant to do this because I hated the idea of spending days flyering, but I found out there are two different flyer distribution services in my town.
So far, only a single person has visited the URL advertised on the flyer, so possibly terrible ROI on the $220 I spent.
Recorded a TV interview with a local news station
It never aired and the once enthusiastic and responsive reporter has since been ignoring my emails
Conducted a customer interview with an LA-based touring comedian.
Lots of interesting takeaways and possible directions for me to pivot if my current plan to be a show aggregator doesn’t work.
Made some changes to try to improve the site’s SEO
They’re an LA-based version of WanderJest that’s been around for a few years.
It seems to be run by a single comedian who’s not a developer, so I’m wondering if they’d be open to some sort of partnership where they focus more on curation and content creation and I handle infrastructure.
Removed the newsletter subscribe page.
Only ~6 people signed up in two months, and I didn’t think it was worth the effort to grow it or write newsletters.
Arranged a meeting with a local comedy venue owner for next week.
