    Am I in The Desert?

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Alright, I think get it now Look all of this hurts my ego a bit, but I think this is part of my growth. You think what you're building is this infallible god of a product that solves this huge issue, but ultimately it's the market's choice. It's maybe not worth to keep pursuing it because the...

    Am I in The Desert?

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Though that's your opinion on the product, not the market's. By the way, getting to the point where it was actually functional, looked nice, and didn't look like a flat piece of plastic took months so I couldn't exactly "get direct evidence that people would pay for it" without people...

    To make? It costs me like $3 right now due to printing constraints. But the selling price for bulk is probably going to be around $7-10.

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    This isn't a money issue, I can actually produce these myself until I get injection molding. And yes I have. I used to do car detailing and actually made pretty good money, but I turned away to invest my time into this. I thought this was a good practical solution to an obvious problem. Maybe I...

    Am I in The Desert?

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I'm going to give it a bit more time, I've only been trying to sell it for about 2 weeks. Though as painful as it is to hear, you might be right. This is definitely a real problem, a problem I've heard people talk about. The problem of having someone steal your equipment, or having to...

    Am I in The Desert?

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    If you haven't been following my journey you can do it here. Essentially 5 months ago I built a product called Setsign. This product allows people to display their sets and their availability in the gym to others. I'm trying to market this to gyms on a b2b level so gyms can have these up...

    Is my idea good?

    IDEA QUESTION 
    I really like #1, it's like a site where people can post interactive choose-your-own-adventure books. Sounds pretty cool to me. The pet market is a little oversaturated so 2 might be done already, unsure about anything with 3.

    The Journey of Building and Selling a Physical Product

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Sent my first email today! Going to be sending plenty more tmrw. I contacted Dave, a local gym owner: Hey Dave, hope you're doing well! My name is Aidan, and I'm a student and a local entrepreneur from [REDACTED]. Recently, I invented a small patent-pending device called Setsign that's been...

    The Journey of Building and Selling a Physical Product

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Starts at 11.95 and goes down from there. It's based on volume so the more you order the bigger the discount you get. Photos are going to be up as soon as the new colored models finish printing. As of now, models take a very long time to print out and finish so getting a mold for injection...

    About buffets

    IDEA 
    Though restaurants/brick-and-mortar businesses are quite costly to found, it could be worthwhile to look into creating a buffet whose mission is to just provide quality food and service rather than make a quick buck. You would also need to create a beyond-mediocre experience to skew value...

    Today's achievements: got most of the website done. I finished writing most of the copy. Take a look and roast the hell out of it at setssign.com, password is wave5. Tomorrow I am going to print and paint more Setsigns so I can get them demoed in local gyms. I'm also going to start emailing...

    Is my idea good?

    IDEA QUESTION 
    Build a proof of concept/prototype, for a physical product this would be like an actual prototype that you would need to build using machining, 3D printing, and so forth. For software, you would build a demo, essentially a non-working version of it made using CSS without a backend or another...

    What should a solid b2b website look like?

    MARKETING 
    After this massive thread that you can read here, I decided that I want to mainly market to gyms themselves. So, what do we think is the best way to go about getting lead generation? Talking to gym owners in person? Online ads? Email marketing? Linkedin? Also, what's a good example of a b2b...

    Prototype done. Pre-orders or straight to sales?

    MARKETING 
    Well it seems like most of that problem is solved now haha The solution was always sound, I was just so focused on the product that I never thought about how to actually sell it. I now know what I need to do, just needed the feedback of some helpful people to push me in the right direction.
