Digital gardens as a service


You should have a digital garden. Iā€™d like to help you make one.

What do you mean, ā€œdigital gardenā€?

By my own (made up) definition, a digital garden is a shareable public archive of how your mind works. A tiny website with short, concise, opinionated, uniquely-you pages that sum up your beliefs, priorities, and most important insights.

To see an example, take a look at mine. Just a few of the benefits I got from creating this:

Hereā€™s how Iā€™ll help you make one

Weā€™ll meet for a total of two (2) one-hour Zoom calls.

The first conversation will meander, and Iā€™ll take notes. A week or so later, Iā€™ll share a link to (a rough draft of ) your garden. You can review it, send comments, or just marvel at your own wit and wisdom.

In the second conversation, weā€™ll flesh out some of the more important points, add anything we missed, and make connections between thoughts.

Then Iā€™ll update the site, and hand it off to youā€”source code and all.

(If you need help getting it online, or making updates, I can help with that too.)

Why bother?

A digital garden complements any other types of writing or thinking you might do. It provides a place for distilling thoughts you might share on ephemeral social media platforms, and a foundation for longer form blog posts, reports, or even books.

Itā€™s also an excellent way to share your way of thinking with potential collaborators, clients, or friends. Itā€™s concise, highly browsable, and optimized to surface whatā€™s unique about you.

In short, itā€™s a valuable resource for you and others, and itā€™s not that hard to create. Youā€™ll wonder how you got by without one for so long.

Why get my help with this?

A fair question. Honestly, I just want to see more smart people produce writing in this medium. So youā€™re welcome to do it all by yourselfā€”just please let me know when itā€™s live. I look forward to reading it.

But collaborating with me will save you tons of time, and will probably draw out topics and connections you wouldnā€™t have stumbled across on your own.

Also: Iā€™ve done this for others, and the results were amazing. Check out the FunnelEnvy POV subsite for a (nerdy) example.

ā€œWhat does it cost?ā€

You can pay what you want. At some point I may productize this and put a price tag on it, but for now I just want to optimize for ā€œgardens published.ā€

Interested? Or just curious? Get in touch and Iā€™ll answer your questions, or we can just set up an appointment for our first gardening session. Hope to hear from you soon.
