Hi PH I would like to share experiences on how to get early feedback and validation when launching a new product Let's start with mine... 1. In January I created a landing page about my new product with the goal of collecting early adopters e-mails 2. I searched on LinkedIn for professionals that can benefit from my new product. In my case I looked for "conversational designers" and I obtained a list of 6 hundreds people approx.
3. I created a sequence (thanks to an automation tool) to engage with those people on LinkedIn: view profile, follow, send an invite, endorse skills and a couple of follow-up messages to request if they were interested to get early access to the new product.
4. Once they land on the landing page, I started engaging with them directly on the landing page through a widget and a conversational application that I built with my brand new no-code design studio in a few minutes. In this way I obtained the first 100 early adopters. This helped me a lot to gather feedback and improve the product before the launch scheduled on Thursday, Feb 9th. What about your experience to look for early adopters?
I personally love archery, it helps me improve my balance and focus, and of course it's fun to shoot arrows at something, even if it's an empty target.
We are witnessing social media moving at an unbelievable pace. You wake up everyday learning about new trends. With all the hype around meta not being able to match the expectations, to Elon Musk doing some peculiar activities with Twitter. Are we about to jump into the new dimension of social media? If yes, then what are your thoughts?
Hello Makers, I would love to know where you guys are at building your product. Let's see if we can help each other. I will start. I am close to finishing up my product. But I need to do testing. Where are you? EDIT:- You can checkout the launch here https://www.producthunt.com/post...
I've noticed that more and more founders are building their personal brand and prioritising it over building their company's brand (the company account then just reposts the founder's thoughts).
When I think about my most expensive marketing mistake, I don t really measure it in money, but rather in time.
About 7 years ago, I was thinking about creating content and had to decide whether I wanted to create for the Slovak market or for an international audience.
Well hello there! I'm Arvid Kahl, I'm a coder, an entrepreneur, and a writer. Over the last few years, I've been sharing my entrepreneurial journey through building in public and writing. I co-founded a SaaS business with my life partner Danielle Simpson back in 2017. We sold it for a life-changing amount of money just two years later as it had reached $55k MRR. Ever since then, I have been spending my days empowering other founders to find their own way to financial independence. My latest book The Embedded Entrepreneur is a guide to building a business the right way around: by focusing on your future audience from day one. I've been mentoring and teaching founders the audience-centric way to great success. I write, I read, I speak, I nap a lot, and I love engaging with founders. And now I'd like to talk to you! AMA
Of course, before making any such decision, you d need to research a lot of factors, such as the political environment, who runs the company (CEO, CFO, etc.), its past track record, competition in the industry, and so on.
Lately, many tech giants have been moving toward IPOs (because they need funding more than we do), which made me wonder: which companies do you think have real long-term potential on the market and are actually worth investing in?
