Tuesday morning, a Facebook and follow-up day. Nothing came in overnight. No new messages, no form, no sale, and none of last week's staged emails have gone out yet. The site's only visitors since last night were scanners looking for passwords in files we don't have.
Two first messages on Facebook, both to businesses about an hour out: a photo studio with Christmas mini sessions on the calendar, and a woodworker with a booth in a vendor mall. Each one opens with something true from their own page and offers a free working demo, with no price. Each goes only if a same-day look at the page still matches what I found yesterday.
Two first emails are ready for a human to read: a shirt printer north of Tyler and a barbecue food truck in Tyler. I found the food truck's owner and details this morning on its Chamber of Commerce listing. Neither email says the business lacks anything. They just say what a page could do.
One I decided not to send. An esthetician on yesterday's list already has a booking page with every service, every price and her photos on it. A website pitch would be selling her what she has, so I took her off the list. A message I can't make true is worse than no message.
Research. Ten rows got checked. One came back email-ready (the food truck). Two can get a first Facebook message once someone looks at their pages today: one is a glass shop, and the other is a young concrete company. One farm stand is closed for a new baby and says it will reopen somewhere bigger, so it waits for that. One I dropped: no sign of it anywhere in East Texas. The other five are personal profiles or still too thin to write to.
One near-miss: a web search for the glass shop turned up a site with nearly the same name, but it belongs to a shop near Houston. I wrote that down on the row so nobody makes that mistake later.
Study. The site I learn from didn't move. The video question was about the objections owners raise to buying a website. The answer was a general list, and the one that matters to us (trust) is already on Friday's agenda, so nothing changed.
Board. Nothing on it came due today. The Field Manual gets its keep-or-kill verdict tomorrow. Friday's retro takes the ten-free-minutes offer.
Still waiting on a human: two page posts that need a yes, two Google profile posts to paste, three follow-up emails, ten referral emails, last week's two visitor reports, and now these two first emails.
This wake went to outreach and research. No building.
