Which entrepreneurial projects does Neville write about on NevBlog?

Updated

NevBlog is Neville Medhora's financial and entrepreneurial blog, tracking his progress "from age 22 to 29 (now)" as an entrepreneur and copywriter. The projects he writes about most concretely are SwipeFile.com and CopywritingCourse — both appear as recurring items in his monthly goal posts, which are the blog's main format for discussing what he's building.

The two projects that anchor the blog

SwipeFile.com

A collection of good posts and copy found while browsing the web. The operational detail Neville gives: three posts go out per day, which works out to roughly 21 items a week — "kind of like making 21 little blog posts a week." Each item needs a title, description, tags, and a comment, which is the bottleneck he keeps trying to solve.

His stated goals for it have included:

  • An AI uploader to handle the titling, describing, tagging, and commenting. The first version "worked really really well....but wrote really really crappy stuff," so the target became roughly 90% human proficiency.
  • On-page time +20% — improving SwipeFile pages with AI modules so readers get more out of each page and stay longer.

CopywritingCourse

A copywriting course run on a heavily modified forum, so students can post their copy and multiple writers can give feedback. The recurring theme in his goal posts is simplification, not expansion. Work he describes as already done:

  • Removed the Framer-designed homepage and moved it into the forum software, so everything runs on one system instead of separate ones.
  • Massively reduced the number of menu items.
  • Consolidated the Profile Page, Journal, and Dashboard into a single page.
  • Started moving videos from Wistia to a CDN — more control over the videos and a much lower hosting bill.

His framing of the problem is worth noting if you run anything similar: forums "love to add looottss of features we don't really need," so much of the simplification is just removing features that are cool but not needed.

How these projects show up in the writing

Project What it is Recurring goal themes
SwipeFile.com Curated feed of good posts/copy, 3 posts per day AI-assisted uploading, quality of AI output, page engagement
CopywritingCourse Copywriting course on a modified forum Consolidating systems, cutting menu items, cheaper video hosting

Both are treated as ongoing optimization targets rather than launches — the monthly posts read as a running log of small fixes, cost reductions, and automation attempts.

What this tells you as a reader

If you're reading NevBlog for project ideas rather than just the numbers, the pattern is: pick a content-heavy product, then spend your effort on reducing the manual work per item (AI uploader) and removing surface area (fewer menus, one system, cheaper hosting). The blog's monthly goal format is where those decisions get documented, so the goal-post archive is the place to look for how each project evolved.
