Last week I launched Streamer Memes 😆 – a site that streamers can use to share memes about streaming, gaming and content creation on primarily Twitch. I built the site as part of the 100DayofNoCode MVP Bootcamp as a side-project to market Tier List Makers.
The Site went live last week and I’m pretty happy with the outcome in terms of look, feel and speediness of development. Here I give a give a bit of a download on the site, it’s creation and the future….
Features
Since the first release I’ve slowly been working to optimize and add features. Here’s a short rundown of the site 👇
Marketing Tier List Makers
The main purpose of the site is as a side-project to market my main product Tier List Makers. Now I started making the memes with the tag “Tier List Makers’ with the logo included. As I add new memes I’m going to take this away and replace with “Streamer Memes” as I think that’ll help with people sharing the memes in the long run. The site will still carry a link to Tier List Makers – and is currently showing a Join the Waitlist button:
Categories and Search
The site shows the most recent memes first, but users can search either by Category or by a text search.
The Memes 😆
Obviously, the main purpose of the site is to show and enable streamers to share memes! So, the majority of the site is just to display the memes. Users can either “Share on Twitter” using the button or save the memes to their own device using the link to the Airtable base. I realised this may not have been obvious, so I added some fun instructions too!
Built With NoCode 💪
The site took literally minutes to build using just two tools – Airtable and Softr. I was familiar with both tools as I’d used them to make TweetStores a project that I made at the start of the #100DaysofNoCode email course (that I failed miserably to complete!). It was just a case of linking up Airtable to Softr and including some data – the memes.
I’d already made over 100 memes as part of the launch marketing strategy for Tier List Makers so it was easy to put them into the Airtable base and have something to show quickly.
I’ve also created a Twitter Account for the site and now when I add in a meme and select a checkbox the meme gets posted on the account and the picture location is captured and fed back into the Base – which then creates the “Share on Twitter” link. Sadly, I’ve not been able to get this to work for GIFs and I’m working on how I’ll have to manage those going forward. These automations are currently all done with Zapier or with Fomulas and Views in Airtbale itself.
Future Plans for Streamer Memes
I intend to keep adding memes – hopefully posting up one per day each day during the year. But I’d like to really try and automate this as much as possible so I’m going to keep finding ways to generate what I need via tools like Zapier for the Tweet posting and so on.
Adding in the Option for Others to Add Their Own Memes
I’d like to add in some options for others to add in their own memes so that I can generate some more social sharing and reduce the burden on me to generate the memes. I’ll have to work on how I police submissions and how they’re presented on the site but I think either with Softr, Airtable or something like Tally forms it should be easy enough to do.
Analytics
I’m going to be adding in a new Integration that Softr released this past week – Microsoft Clarity. That should give me some more ideas on how users are actually using the site so I can optimize it. I’m also going to try and get some kind of regular report out of google Analytics as although I’ve set it up I really don’t look at the information! So, I need a report sent somewhere!
