Build in public & sensitive data

Build in public & sensitive data

Dec 20, 2022

Hello there,

I am one of the many people, who started working on their projects and sharing the progress. I appreciate such an approach and also try to follow it this way. But, sometimes sharing financial or any other details may be unsafe. It depends on the circumstances and probably is not required most of the time. However, people exist who live in different places and their situations may be varied.

I like to be transparent as much as possible, it helps to build a trusting relationship. It works well with relatives, children, colleagues, and customers. But sometimes the wrong people may use information about you and use this knowledge to your detriment. Based on this, I prefer to keep my sensitive data from random wanderers.

It is the reason, why I decided to hide some part of the data about my public activity under the small paywall. It costs not so much to stop people if they really want to get the details. At the same time, it requires some extra actions for those people, who just wanted to peek.

And the second reason is that paywall gives me info about the person. And I can reject them if I can not believe them. With a refund of money, of course. This service does not allow pre-moderation, but it is still better than leaving everything in view.

To achieve this, have kept sharing the details and to be sure that I am safe with it at the same time, I created a special membership plan "Build in Public. Special!" which costs only $3 per month. I am going to honestly weekly post details of how my business is running and what numbers it shows.

If you just want to support my activity, I will always be appreciated to drink some coffee with you. Virtually, of course ;)

Enjoy this post?
