    Niche Product Not Worth Pursuing ?!?! When to switch boats?

    IDEA MARKETING 
    Maybe make a list of 100 marketing/feedback channels/ways and try the first 5 ways to get the feedback that are easiest/fastest/cheapest. Success stories and/or ChatGPT can give you good ideas. And for some motivation: Google out: Sara Blakely Spanx story (especially the struggles in the beginning)

    Niche Product Not Worth Pursuing ?!?! When to switch boats?

    IDEA MARKETING 
    I guess the idea is good! If I wanted more clicks to the form, I would mention free sample on your Instagram account (you have a form link, but you do not mention, before the form itself that people can get a free sample). Also, you might get successful on Instagram after a while... or you...

    Small town - tech knowledge - from slow lane to fast lane

    SLOWLANE INTRO 
    I would say, try not to sell technology, it's just the vehicle. Try to sell end result. Maybe you can offer turnkey project/service to reach end result. And end result is not something like such system installed and operational, but something like 20% faster sales pipeline. Better: 20% more...

    Or, if you think you can make millions with your project, learn SW development yourself, choose smart tools to build it and build it. 100% control from the beginning and if you grow later you won't make blind bets on developers.

    I've finally found the niche I want to do business in. But I don't have any ideas.

    IDEA 
    Look at Upwork, how much other professionals in the automation field made on their platform? Maybe you could join TopTal or similar, build the skill, professional network and personal brand. It takes time, not sure if there is a shortcut? https://www.toptal.com/

    EXECUTION FEEDBACK 
    Hey, fingers crossed getting first clients. If you gonna struggle, the target market and the product seemed too general for me. I would try to niche down in the target (choose the best possible sub-sub-niche of enterprise b2b) and then niche down with the offer/service for them. This way you...

    Hello from Stockholm. An intro.

    INTRO 
    Hi Andrii, What helps me, is to find the showstoppers or bottlenecks in the process. When trying to take off the business, I can have a todo list of 20-100 items, but not all are critical (at the specific time). Example: Spending 3 days figuring out the best logo <= Not necessary at this time...
