So this is the current state of things as of now of this blog:

![Ghost Creator Community - Week 1](https://lucas-schiavini.com/content/images/2022/09/image-14.png)

I've just recently got my latest follower (counting 8 as of today). And I'm in the middle of Week 1 of [Ghost's Creator Program](https://ghost.org/resources/community/).

It's a pretty cool program and it's divided into a 4-week course.

🏗️

Week 1 - Building a Platform

✍️

Week 2 - Meeting new People and Publishing Great Content

💗

Week 3 - Growing an Audience

💸

Week 4 - Building a Business

* * *

Since we are in week 1, we are focusing on our tech stacks and sharing with other cool creators.

So I'm also gonna share my tech stack here.

## Tech Stack

### I'm sharing verbatim my answer to other's questions

## Research

- Zero clue, I'm mostly being guided by curiosity.

## Idea Tracking + Content Planning

- I take lots of notes on [Obsidian.md](https://obsidian.md/) and try to follow the [Zettelkasten Method](https://lucas-schiavini.com/little-bits-zettelkasten-method/) to facilitate grabbing notes around and merging them in a post.
- I use the Backlinks from one of my notes "Blog Post ideas", I always have new ideas every week, on a Sunday I revisit them, and almost always a post comes out of it.

## Analytics

- I use Google Analytics + Pinterest analytics (I've linked my blog to my Pinterest via RSS feed so it uploads automatically).

## Images

- I'm using Unsplash from ghost's GUI, but I'm open to the idea of generating images using AI.

## Marketing

- Right now I've set up 2 Applets on IFTTT(If This Then That -> [https://ifttt.com/explore](https://ifttt.com/explore)) so that any new post with the tag "linkedin-post" or "tweet-post" gets updated to each social media automatically.

## Writing

- Grammarly (free version)
- Ghost
- Docs -> for some friends to give feedback on some special posts before they are published

## Gaps

- I'd want to understand how it is the process for those of you that publish more frequently. I'm in the middle of working through a few hard topics and it just takes me 2 weeks to get a really good post out.
- I blog mostly in my free time out of the job, so either mornings or evenings.

## Other Cool Creators

The cool part of this program is meeting and talking with other people. Here are some of them and what I found amazing about what they do.
