    Path to creating a digital product

    NOTABLE! 
    Just finished setting up basic login/register functionality using Firebase. That was the easy part! Thankfully I'm off for a week from work so I can work on this all day and make a lot of progress.

    Path to creating a digital product

    NOTABLE! 
    I created landing pages and drove traffic to them using FB ads and Google ads. This app got the most opt ins and had the best conversion rate. Also asked around forums for people to fill in a survey on this app/what features they'd like on an app for mental health. You're right about me...

    Path to creating a digital product

    NOTABLE! 
    I know there is a demand for something like this from what people on forums have been posting for example, and I also ran some surveys. People gave me some great ideas on what to implement, and looking at similar apps I'm confident I can provide value. I guess I'm just a doubtful person, I'm...

    Path to creating a digital product

    NOTABLE! 
    Spent an eternity trying to change the status bar color and align buttons to look right on different screen sizes. Added an app icon though and I'm getting another kick out of looking at it on my phone. Now I'm wondering whether it's a good idea to read through some more tutorials before...

    Path to creating a digital product

    NOTABLE! 
    Finished the mock ups for the app. Feature creep is definitely a thing. I battled with myself to keep it a bare bones product so I can build it up from there as I receive feedback. Figured out two ways to monetize - a subscription and rewards service. That way even if my users don’t subscribe...

    Path to creating a digital product

    NOTABLE! 
    Spent the last week going through a large Udemy course on Swift, and now I'm going to start developing my app. The doubt is hitting me hard, I worry no one will be interested in it or want to subscribe.

    Path to creating a digital product

    NOTABLE! 
    Running another set of more targeted FB ads, there is not enough interest for the nutrition app. The mental health one is getting a lot of views and I'm getting email opt ins. The user demographics are the most interesting -- these tend to be people you wouldn't typically think of having mental...

    Path to creating a digital product

    NOTABLE! 
    Posting this in the main forum this time to get more feedback! I realized I've been trying to start businesses with incredibly low entry barriers and when I did, I did nothing to add more value. I spent a few days brainstorming and came up with three solutions to problems, all of them working...

    How to avoid rushing into starting a business?

    Great line. Most people think it's the exact opposite -- that the probability of success is small or even nonexistent. I don't think you need an experienced team or great technical capabilities, and a business can be started with minimal investments. But I do think the capability to learn and...

    How to avoid rushing into starting a business?

    Hm, I was thinking of creating a landing page for each and capturing emails... This leads on to a slightly related question -- say an idea gets a lot of interest and people are "signing up" for the product, but creating it will take months, how would you sustain that interest? Surely there's...

    How to avoid rushing into starting a business?

    I'm very impulsive and tend to rush into things without doing enough research or planning first. After reading Unscripted I've set myself deadlines (to avoid procrastination) for coming up with ideas, doing CENTS evaluations on them, and actually starting work. Now I've started narrowing my...

    So I'm now jobless and I gotta survive. Kinda need a bit of support(a bit anxious?)

    I sympathise with you... I had a FTE at my last job, it was a TERRIBLE environment, and then was jobless for a few months. Like everyone else has said, try finding a job (any job), I'm sure you can find one. If not, try Rev.com. You basically transcribe videos. They test your English skills...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Just finished reading! I read it all while I was away on a business trip. Spent those hours on the plane and in the hotel room reading rather than playing Candy Crush ha. I don't even know where to start with the praise, and without sounding cheesy or cliche, this book has changed the way I view...

    I hate rich bastards (but I want to be one) Paradox?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    What Longinus said. Every time I find myself hating or feeling contempt for someone, I ask myself is it because they have something I don't? Whether it's a rich person, a hot girl, a successful whatever, lots of reasons are thrown out for why they're a piece of shit, but the reason is always...

    Is Anyone Else Intermittent Fasting?

    NOTABLE! 
    Been intermittent fasting for 2+ years now. It works great, I love it. I could never get used to splitting up my portions. I've always had a huge appetite, so splitting meals up makes me feel like I'm eating rabbit portions. Eating all my calories in one or two large meals just feels right...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Just finished reading! I wish I'd read it all before attempting to start a business... exposed so many flaws in what I was doing. Wow... time to start over! Very enjoyable read too! What stood out to me was how you said you didn't know how to write a book before starting, and you taught yourself...

    Making Money With Web Design 2017/2018

    HOT! 
    Heh, true... As of now I'm thinking of answering the "what next?" question with something like "The first step would be figuring out the pricing based on the changes the website needs, which is 50% upfront. Then I take the website's existing content and place it in a more modern design, host...

    Making Money With Web Design 2017/2018

    HOT! 
    I have a question on how to proceed with clients once you've got them interested. Say you send out emails/mail/calls to leads and they call you back and ask you "I'm interested, what next?" What do you say?
