Welcome to the NinjaPear blog, where we will chronicle our journey in building the world's largest first-party B2B data platform.
I just had the revenue carpet that I stood on, pulled out under me. It is sudden, but not unexpected. I started feeling exasperated, but over the evening, it turned into anger, then resolute. A resolution to not have such a situation happen again by which a product of mine
Walk down Chinatown, and you will see a row of shophouses that says OCBC. OCBC owns them. Major business owners, with some foresight, made their wealth when they bought in a chunk of properties before the aunties flooded Condominium launches. Where is the next billion-dollar business opportunity in Singapore? No,
ShareDong is SharedHere for Indonesia. In Indonesian, it is a casual way of asking for a link. I would approximate it to the English phrase to "share the link!". Like SharedHere, ShareDong will be the ultimate mobile site to subscribe to awesome curated and exclusive content in Indonesia.
I tried sharing some news on Facebook today, and I got blocked from posting in other groups. I had figured that I needed a better growth engine instead of over-sharing on Facebook, so I spent the morning planning the new growth engine. Growth Hacking I term what I do in
With a clear and discrete objective for SharedHere of 66k views per day, I am working hard to achieve a 10% day on day growth on pageviews. The first week started fine, but as the week edged towards the end, I noticed that I was not able to keep the
Let's start with something I got wrong in my last post. I mentioned that my efforts in growth hacking led to 1000 views. I was wrong. It was a 1000 unique visitors. As for views, we got nearly 3000 hits. These numbers are pretty decent for three days
The difference between fifteen minutes of sleep and getting one last piece of todo item checked amounted to 1000 views for SharedHere.com. Yesterday, I posted a thread on Hardwarezone forums just before my bedtime, and I almost did not do it because I was tired. But what the hell
Which works out to be 2 million views per month if you do the math. A figure I believe will bring SharedHere to profitability. It is day two since launch, and it has been two days of regret. I wished I thought through distribution a lot more. Nobody cares about
Premium content, previously guarded by paywalls, is now readily available on SharedHere.com [sharedhere.com]. These include premium articles from Straits Times and TechInAsia. Any content that can be shared with a screenshot, will be shared on SharedHere because the future of the internet is not going to be an
I had lunch with my CEO friend, who runs Ubersnap. I'm helping him to take the business into Indonesia, and Ubersnap Indonesia is up against Holograil. Ubersnap researched and developed their Aura photo-booth in-house. While his competition has decided to buy a myriad of booths from China. Case
I have been trying to grow high end ridiculously expensive hei bi (Cantonese for shrimps) for almost a year now. These shrimps that are no larger than 0.7cm cost $3 to $15 per piece. On random weekends that I manage to bullshit myself that the water conditions are perfect,
Something devastating happened to me lately. I conformed. Fuck. I admit that some Facebook comments that were posted on my posts got to me. The commotion on the comment section hated click baits. Mostly because they fell for it. Which meant one thing -- I succeeded! My click bait titles
The Chinese market opened today with a sharp -9.6% tear with no thanks to Wuhan's Coronavirus. The coronavirus is a disaster through and through. Just last week, I came across an article on disaster preparation [https://www.jefftk.com/p/disasters], and it hit me: How does
The problem with the author-reader relationship is the implied authoritarian role. The writer as the expert, and the reader as the student. I will like to debunk this fallacy with this post that will journal a misdeed that happened today. I dished out a personal attack today, and I am
When I was younger and naive, I believed that companies should have a flat hierarchy [https://nubela.co/blog/the-chinaman-i-hired-that-sneered-heckled-and-mocked-me/]. I also thought that rules were archaic and are a syndrome of corporate sluggishness. I still agree. I held a one-on-one two weeks ago, and one of the feedback I
In 2011, I left Singapore for Sweden for an overseas exchange and internship programme. And in my short year there, I found Sweden to be a homogeneous and egalitarian society. I came back a proponent of socialism, and I loved the idea of safety nets. As a young intern at
I was reading the comments on this Reddit thread [https://old.reddit.com/r/singapore/comments/es5sab/sporean_tweets_about_people_glorifying_ot_life/] on the culture that pushes Singaporeans to work overtime (OT). The third highest ranked comment [https://old.reddit.com/r/singapore/comments/es5sab/sporean_tweets_about_
It is a funny sight when tech-illiterate CEOs attempt to build tech companies. They thump the beat by appending or prepending buzzwords in their elevator pitch. But any developer worth their salt will be able to catch their bluff. LandX underwent a certain audit for compliance today, but the result
My company is a place of pleasant surprises for great employees. The bad hires relish with equal glee. Right after the first week, the poor hires must count their lucky stars as they get comfortable with our hands-free approach in the company. I enjoyed the same treatment during my first
I have had my heads (and fingers) down writing all day, all night in the past few days. The reason why you have not seen my recent posts is that the words are not legible for the laymen. I have been writing code in wrapping up SharedHere. More on that
Hey, I started a post with a non-clickbait title that sounds more sophisticated than it should. But guess what, I am betting that the usual trolls are not reading this and hating on my clickbait prowess. You prove my point that click baits work. But that is not the point
A senior engineer in the Bay Area makes US$400+k annually. And yes, I think my experience and products would seat me in that tier of engineers. I am effectively giving up a million bucks every two years by running my own show. This is 1M dollars, risk-free. (Takes
First things first, this is not a guide for murder. This post is a guide on how you can stay covert in Singapore. Specifically, a guide to good OPSEC (Operations Security) in Singapore. Having good OPSEC means knowing how to get under the radar of the Singapore authorities, and to
Startup porn dictates that you should just build the product [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21934358], and that blogging is the best form of networking [https://andrewchen.co/professional-blogging/]. Here is the holy truth -- build it, and no one will come; blog it, and no one will read
I was reading Hacker News today and came across a thread to predict future trends. One prediction was the advent of biohacking — bio-hacking beginner kits for everyone. But to "hack," or improve requires measurement. But if a diverse range of test-kits was made into a universal home kit?
