[Smartphone Side Hustle Diary] My note views aren't growing... I found a savior tool, but it required, of all things, "bean sprouts"
Hello everyone, I'm Ryo!
I'm 32 years old, working in marketing as my main job, while diligently working on a side hustle at home with the goal of "earning 30,000 yen a month with just one smartphone."
I recently started writing on note in between my remote work tasks, but... it's really difficult. No matter how hard I write, nobody reads it. I even started feeling discouraged, thinking, "Is it really that hard if I don't have a computer?" (laughs).
But today, I found a "god-tier tool" that works entirely on a smartphone, so I wanted to share it with you. However, the way you use this tool is a bit "unique."
Honestly, are you losing out because of your title?
Since I work in marketing, I know that no matter how good the content is, if the "title" is bad, people won't even open it in the first place.
But there's a limit to coming up with titles on your own, right? I often have articles that I thought were "sure winners" get completely ignored...
That's when I found this on the internet.
"note Title SEO Diagnostic Tool"
What was beyond the "password" wall
When I tried to use it right away, the words "Please enter the password" appeared on the screen.
I thought, "Wait, is this paid?" but when I looked closer, there was a message from the developer, Dan-chan.
Seeing this, I actually thought, "Oh, this is the real deal." After all, things that are "completely free" in this world are often suspicious, aren't they?
But I figured that if I could use professional logic for the price of "bean sprouts" (about 100 yen), it would actually be a very cheap investment.
The story of the miracle caused by "bean sprouts"
As a side note, when I looked at the note written by the developer of this tool, Dan-chan, there was a very heartwarming story posted there.
Apparently, just before publishing the article about this app, they miraculously received a 100-yen tip. And this was even before the tool was running, mind you?
Dan-chan seemed incredibly happy about that, and they wrote a very passionate article introducing a picture book by the author who sent that 100 yen.
"A mere 100-yen show of support moved an engineer's heart, leading them to feature their work."
Seeing this data (fact), I was convinced.
This tool, and its developer, are trustworthy. And I wanted to participate in this "interesting experiment" too.
I immediately sent some gas money (bean sprouts) from Dan-chan's "Amazon Wish List" instead of a tip, and got the password.
I was able to run the diagnostic with a quick tap on my smartphone
The usage was so simple that even a high school student could understand it.
Enter the title you came up with
Enter the password (obtained with bean sprouts)
Press the button
That's it. I actually tried it out, and when I entered a title I'd just thrown together, the AI gave me a sharp assessment.
"The character count is a bit high," "Include some numbers"—it even gives me specific advice like that. Furthermore, it even suggests improvements.
This is truly a godsend for "smartphone side hustlers" like me who don't own a PC... I can edit my titles while lounging on the sofa without having to go through the trouble of getting up.
In the end, those who make full use of tools are the ones who win
You might think "AI and tools seem difficult," but if you have one smartphone, that's more than enough to compete.
For people like me who,
want to work hard on a side hustle using only a smartphone
want more people to read their note articles
but hate complicated settings!
I seriously want you to try this out at least once.
There is a barrier to entry called the "bean sprout cost," but the advice waiting on the other side was exactly what you need to know if you're aiming for 30,000 yen a month on note.
Above all, you can use a professional tool for 100 yen, and if you're lucky, your own article might even get featured. I think the investment of "sending bean sprouts" was a huge success!
Well then, see you later. Let's do our best together!
