Harvest postings: export the last 90 days of postings on LinkedIn, <a href="https://classifieds.ocala-News.com/author/joditin6603">нажмите для подробностей</a> Indeed, Wellfound. Filter by 0–2 y.o. experience, keep only roles with ≤15 applicants. Sort by "posted 24 h ago". The 3 most repeated 4-word phrases are your micro-niches.
Check supply: paste each phrase into Google with site:linkedin.com/jobs. A viable niche returns 30–80 open roles worldwide. Below 30 → budget cuts; above 80 →
Project 2 (mid-tier): React + Auth0; ceiling at 150 lines JSX. Use `react-snap` for prerendered export; Lighthouse ≥ 90 or restart.
Top the cycle with a pre-mortem vote: before any prototype spend, each member scribbles the headline of a phantom failure, allocates $100 in play money on the risk they judge most credible, and tags it. Projects at Johns Hopkins Hospital that cleared this filter averaged 29 % fewer post-launch defects over 18 months.
Keep every asset–stylesheet, scripts, media–inside the same repo; relative paths load faster and avoid mixed-content warnings. Enable Actions → Pages → Deploy from branch, select main / (root) to trigger auto rebuilds on every push.
Limit each module to 12 min: after twelve-hundred experiments, exactly 11 minutes 47 seconds became the engagement drop. Render video at 1080p/24 fps; doubling frame-rate inflates bandwidth cost 31 % while completion climbs only 2 %. Plant an auto-checked question at minute 9—data from fifty-four thousand students show a 23 % lift in lesson completion when a quiz breaks passive watching.
Map a 5-Lesson Victory Path That Delivers a Concrete Result
Trim the syllabus to a lone trackable target—e.g., "Push live a 1.5 k-word SEO post that ranks on top-10 Google within four weeks"—then work backwards five 18-min sprints that snap sequentially to that result.
Code 90-Second Micro-Tasks to Seal Each Concept Before Moving On
Right after you teach a lone idea, plunge learners into a minute-and-a-half challenge that demands retrieval. For instance you just showed the contrast between average and middle value: flash a 5-number data set and ask them to enter both results; refuse any off digit and replay the mini-lecture until they score 100 %. Stats from 1,800 attempts show this slashes rewatch frequency from 38 % to 11 %.
Host a 30-Minute "Worst Idea" Sprint to Disarm Mental Blocks
Set a wall-mounted timer to 30:00. Round up four people tops; add one extra soul only if a domain expert is mandatory. Issue one instruction: "Barf out the most pointless fix for the bottleneck." Zip polish allowed—spit it raw.
Probe Reddit comment volume: paste five candidate SKU names into Pushshift, count root-level mentions in the last quarter. A mechanical-keyboard vendor saw "GMK Pixel keycap set" referenced 1,830 times; raffling one set spat 18.6 k email opt-ins from a subreddit with only 94 k members—19.8 % conversion.

Launch a 5-Day Outreach Sprint With Trackable Links
Send 25 personalized emails on Monday, each with a unique UTM-tagged link pointing to your GitHub repo’s README anchor "#demo". Use utm_source=outreach&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=week19 so GA later reveals which subject pulled the highest clone count.
Upload a 1584×396 px banner that displays six portfolio frames in a 3×2 grid. Export each frame at 528×264 px, 72 dpi, sRGB. Tile in Figma, add 12 px white gutters, export as PNG. The montage lets scanners check match in 1.2 s.
Pinpoint One Micro-Niche Recruiters Search For
Target "sub-µs C++ FIX decoder" instead of "C++ coder". Job boards show 18× fewer candidates for this exact string, median time-to-hire drops from 42 to 11 days, and posted salary bands jump 34 %.
Minute 25–30: Choose the champ. Dot-vote with Sharpies; each voter gets three dots, no dot bigger than another. The stickie with the most dots becomes the prototype target. Assign owner, deadline, and metric before the timer dies.
Quota: 1024 MB repo size, hundred-gig transfer/month, 10 builds/hour–enough for twenty-thousand unique hits on a optimized site. Exceed it, compress images with tinypng.com and lazy-load below-the-fold pics using loading="lazy".
Crack the source files of every green-row piece. Tag each asset by core skill: etc. Count frequency. Any skill that shows up in ≥70 % of the money layer but ≤30 % of your total uploads is your hidden edge. List it in bold on a sticky note.
Start high, then dangle a 6 % "cash-flow" discount for 50 % in advance. The concession feels generous while the net fee remains 30 % above your floor. 61 % of prospected clients grab the discounted package, proving the opening figure, not the cut, drives the close.
