    Destroy my site/model/idea

    IDEA 
    Thank you for the feedback everyone. Between here and some other sources I have been taking advice from, I am really starting to question the model of a paid subscription that includes books. I feel I'm at a point where I can try pointing PPC or some other traffic stream at the site to try to...

    Destroy my site/model/idea

    IDEA 
    Alright guys. I made quite a few changes and would like to get your feedback. 1. Completely redesigned the landing page. Hopefully the value is a bit more clear there. 2. Took up the idea on Amazon Affiliate Links 3. Added some demo content. Signup -> throw away username / password gets you...

    Destroy my site/model/idea

    IDEA 
    Yes, I will add some mock content in there and post back. Should have had that done before, sorry about that. I am primarily looking at a pay-wall as our way to avoid the pitfalls of free social media. If someone is paying to be part of a community, they are significantly more likely to...

    Hey, Ya'll talked me out of a poor model in the past, so I thought I would post here just to let you know I am moving forward on a new idea I think is a bit more compliant with your points. Here's the thread if you are curious - Destroy my site/model/idea

    Destroy my site/model/idea

    IDEA 
    Hey guys. Been on and off on the site for the last three or so years. Recently started kicking around an idea and realized this community may be able to give some solid advice. The "pain" or "need" we are trying to focus on is the poor level of discourse that takes place on Social Media. If...

    I Have to Be Getting Close...

    EXECUTION 
    Update 10/14: So I am planning to hold a contest to bring in my "sellers". The deadlines I am holding my self to are having enough "sellers" by December to support the business based on my assumptions and enough "buyers" by January to start deciding what direction to take the offering. I'd like...

    I Have to Be Getting Close...

    EXECUTION 
    It's a digital offer, but I still like the idea of Step 1: Enter email. I did pivot last night to building out the site as I personally feel the clickthrough rate validated enough for me to invest my own time outside of work. Going to tweak the landing page and let it run with no new marketing...

    Considering using www.QuickMVP.com, has anyone else used it?

    Great advice again. My product falls in the impulse category. It's also a digital product with $0 shipping costs. My teachings from mentors with similar products told me to prepare for 20% abandonment but, if your product is in a similar category my ears are perked.

    Considering using www.QuickMVP.com, has anyone else used it?

    Rep Transferred For Such a SWEET CAC to TLV Calculator. With that being said, I have crunched those numbers. My quickmvp run equated to a $1.25 costs per acquisition which is roughly $3.5 less than I can afford assuming a customer only purchases one of my products. There's plenty of question...

    I Have to Be Getting Close...

    EXECUTION 
    Got 700 impressions with roughly 10% clicking through to buy the unfinished product. Very weak response rate on the ensuing page requesting emails though. Any think that's a red-flag? I personally would be turned off if I found out the offer was fake and then asked for an email, but maybe I...

    What are your margains?

    Considering using www.QuickMVP.com, has anyone else used it?

    It does offer that. My logic is if I can get a solid "fake ROI" on my marketing based on asking for $ then I know there's a need. So far it is isn't ROIing on a TCOA basis but my marleting costs will come into play over the next few days. Updates will ensue of course, especially if I start...

    Considering using www.QuickMVP.com, has anyone else used it?

    That's where the redirect issie comes in. I have a .info domain I want to show but can't get it working. Could be quickmvp, 1and1 (where I bought my domain), or me being ignorant. It's my primary focus right now so I'll update if I figure out the issues.

    Considering using www.QuickMVP.com, has anyone else used it?

    Might as well toss this out there: Link for landing page [closed] Please do click through and take a look at what quickmvp.com produces. If you read the value prop and would buy click "sign up for $2.99" There's nothing to buy yet but if you would honestly sign up it's telling. Otherwise...

    Considering using www.QuickMVP.com, has anyone else used it?

    A quick update. Having problems getting redirects to point to the landing page. Not sure what ends it's on, but felt anyone considering using quickmvp.com should be aware. With that being said, I've gotten 60 or so impressions before my marketing efforts have kicked in with 5 conversions. Not...

    [Closed] Going for 50 conversions in 2 weeks on a $60 budget.

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks Merc, I should go back and update that. The-J recommended doing an MVP launch as soon as possible and I'm taking his advice. I'm going to put something up today and see if I can collect 50 conversions before I put in to much work. I'll post soon with the information. -Colton

    Ran a search on MVP and found this thread. Great article. I'm going to try validating an idea with it starting this weekend. I'll get back with what I find.

    I Have to Be Getting Close...

    EXECUTION 
    Had an idea last night to solve the chicken before the egg issue with my business model. I'm going to run monthly competitions that reward the most active "seller" with a $100 cash prize or some other type of relevant reward. Hopefully this can keep sellers around until my marketing efforts kick...
