    How I Found And Solved A Problem I Cared About (Probably...)

    EXECUTION 
    Thank you! Just an update that with this, I made 2 sales upon launch from 250 visits at a positive margin. Not much and it may not lead anywhere but at least people are willing to pay for the perceived value. My current focus is on making the perceived value match the real value.

    Day 236-241 £34.50, 250 website visits, 26 subscribers Those were the numbers that stared back at me on the dashboard. Prior to that, I was quaking in my boots on checking it out, before Funky gave me that last mile kick to open it. But it was there! This was real! Two people felt a problem...

    TikTok May Be BANNED In The US

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I saw that video earlier today! Well done! I've noticed growth on the platform can be slow at first, but once you make the right video that addresses a nerve in your audience, things can snowball.

    Hey why's that? I'd say a win's a win, well done!! Rome wasn't built in a day. It took one brick at a time for it to be known for what it was today. Skills, sales, experience etc, they can compound over time I'd say.

    The Time of Giving

    OFF-TOPIC 
    As a third party, I can tell you that if anyone put even 5 seconds of thought into giving me a gift, I'd be over the moon. Stop doubting your efforts, you've done an amazing job. Your gift shows you've put significant thought into the person it's for. A real friend will cherish that.

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    You could also post value adding content on a platform like tiktok/ Youtube shorts to be seen as an authority figure. Then the leads could come to you :) (Haven't personally tested this strategy for leads though, but I've seen others do this and be successful with it on the platform)

    Creating a solution for a target community you don't belong to

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    Not discouraging you from pursuing the idea, and at the end of the day, remember when you see yourself making the impact you'll be much more motivated to continue past the desert of desertion. And what matters is that the product fulfils a need. For me, it took a bit of jumping around before I...

    I'm going to wash windows for money tomorrow for the first time in my life. Any tips?

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Best of luck! Did a similar thing so might be able to chip in. I've approached a lot of businesses to clean their windows on foot and they never asked me about a "van". They probably don't care about that. The equipment probably helps to look professional though. After talking to a business...

    Creating a solution for a target community you don't belong to

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    I think as long as it's a value adding product, it shouldn't matter. If the community knows it works for others like them, that may be all they need to hear. When I want to buy things I want, I doubt the story of the person who made it and if they use it, matters in stopping me from getting it...

    Product vs. Brand

    IDEA 
    This makes so much sense haha. When you really know your audience intimately, their pain points and what they've done to solve them, you're more attune with them. It then makes sense to make more value adding products for them as of when needed. Rather than moving to completely different fields...
