    Zelse - Win points by getting out of the house!

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Fair critique. Making this app for travelers wasn't my first impulse. This idea was more for people who want to get out of the house in the city they live in. I think the point system is moreso good just because people like collecting points and competing with other people. I have an idea for...

    It's almost inconceivable how small and insignificant we are. Like a grain of sand in an endless ocean. Then again all of that ceases to seem to matter when you have to face the real stresses of our everyday life. But it's good to keep in the back of your head.

    Zelse - Win points by getting out of the house!

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    I've now added missions for the whole world. About 4400 missions in total! I can foresee this being popular among travelers who want to get points when they visit different places in the world. I also fixed the payment method through Stripe. The next thing I have to work on is starting on the...

    I think everything comes down to transactions when you really get down to it, but you can include a lot of "soft" stuff in what is being transacted: attention, love, humor, interest, etc. it doesn't all have to be about money. People want value from the people in their life, but sometimes that...

    Zelse - Win points by getting out of the house!

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Through the miraculous power of AI I was able to create missions for every city in Canada and added them into the app. I created a CSV of American cities which came out to 2076 missions in total. They might not be very creative beyond "visit ________ in __________" but at least there will be...

    Would you have read the Millionaire Fastlane if MJ didn't write it?

    MARKETING 
    I like to know a bit about the author before I read a book. I actually was going to buy a different business book, I can't remember what it was called, but I watched a talk by him and found him really off-putting so I took it off my list. I listened to an interview with @MJ DeMarco though and it...

    That's good motivation. I don't think you should ever go a day without doing something for your business.

    Zelse - Win points by getting out of the house!

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Cool, hello fellow Edmontonian! Yes, I was inspired to get people out of the house and actually doing things in the real world. If it takes an app to do that, then so be it! I would ideally like it to be like Pokemon Go, where everyone was out in 2016 exploring their city. I think that was a...

    Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?

    GOLD! HOT! CHAT 
    Thanks for the advice. You're right that I should probably just get it out there and promote as much as possible. I should have a pretty workable version in the next 2-3 weeks I think, though it'll take longer to get the actual app working. Marketing experience will come with actually doing it...

    Zelse - Win points by getting out of the house!

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Hello, I'm creating this thread in order to chronicle my creation of Zelse. Zelse is an app which basically gives you points for getting out of the house and seeing things in your city. There are missions in your city, like "take a picture of the legislature for 300 points" or "eat the...

    AI builds and flips... a new emerging Fastlane opportunity?

    - AI - 
    Something I like about the responses here is that you aren't luddites stuck in the past. AI is here and it's not going away, so you should embrace the new technology and use it to your advantage rather than being stuck pretending that it's still 2016. Imagine if people railed against the...

    GOLD! HOT! - AI - 
    So I have my app I'm developing, which I am working at developing into a functioning business. I am taking steps towards it, but I only read the Millionaire Fastlane a couple months ago, so it's taking a bit of time to change my psychology and adapt. A few months ago I thought that the way...

    GOLD! HOT! - AI - 
    I think a lot of companies should be scared at the emergence of AI that can create functional apps. My boss uses Quickbooks, for example and has to pay (I believe) $400/month. Why would anyone pay this if they can create their own app that does that exact same thing? It still takes a lot of...

    As someone from a brutally cold city (Edmonton), I think a lot of these places have such high rent because of the weather component. Everyone wants to live somewhere warm, you get a discount just by living somewhere where the weather is brutal for 4-6 months out of the year. Then again, a lot of...

    Controversial marketing ideas from Ryan Holiday's Trust Me, I'm Lying

    MARKETING 
    It might seem a bit ridiculous, but I'm curious about whether it would work and gain publicity. It seemed to work for others in the past, which is why I'm interested in it. But yes I'm not trying to avoid the hard work of creating a good product, I just know that marketing is half the battle...

    Controversial marketing ideas from Ryan Holiday's Trust Me, I'm Lying

    MARKETING 
    Understandable. I just started developing this app this month so I'm just trying to formulate a plan for marketing. But you're probably right that the core thing is to get it into the hands of people and see what they think rather than some big, convoluted scheme.
