    37 minutes until I board my plane, and then THIS happened

    Great thread. Numerous nuggets of goodness. Inspired me to circle back and update my execution thread.

    UPDATE: My Children's Book is inches from the finish line. I'm thrilled with how the creative has turned out & am confident I've created a book that parents and children will love. I say this as objectively as I can of course, but one thing is for sure- its not bad. I pumped the brakes on the...

    You Know what a Map is, but do You Know Mapees? (Feedback Needed & Progress)

    Change it. It's just not a commonly used term - "Travel Destination Layout". I was quite confused by the headline & the subtitle and coming from here, I already knew what you were trying to do. Make the headline catchy, the subtitle super clear, and then the image should bring it home. A...

    Quick Update: I've spent some time learning as much as I can about self-publishing a Children's Book. They bring their own unique challenges, namely illustration and the need for a hardcover. I have a plan which also informs my crowdfunding launch plan. I've spent some time learning best...

    Launching oKickstarter: A premium dress sock that can confidently be worn from the office to the gym

    EXECUTION 
    @powderhound100 it's time to take this advice. Your KS sales have plateaued, but KS is only one platform. Take your social proof and go 10x this thing! No pressure - it's not like we're all watching or anything. :wideyed:

    Nice! This seems like a great upfront offer for influencers? I guess it could drive the "cost" of your rewards up a bit as you'd want to build this % into what each reward costs and maybe even your overall target goal...

    I've moved to full standing. Great shoes help... Hoka One One. I also put in about 3-4 half days a week at coffee shops. Looking forward to focused stints at co-working spaces in the near future. Wine only comes out at night. ;)

    One PR strategy to consider (if you haven't) When you get a great media hit (ideally something digital that links directly to your kickstarter) Throw some paid social behind that article (instead of only driving traffic to your KS page) Lots of things happen here: 1) The journalist/platform...

    Thanks for the insight @AnAverageJoe. Very helpful in my journey. I'm beginning to discover many of the things you talk about here. My approach (much like yours) is to create an audience with the site then sell them my own products - in my case entertainment media products like books, shows...

    Completely agree. I think my short term fix is to attach a tagline to it that further explains- A Collective for Dads A Place for Dads She's Pregnant! Where Dads are Born I don't love any of these, but I love branding and look forward to refining it.

    So, I'll save us a summary of what's next for PwP, PLENTY TO DO THERE! I'd love to pick some brains here on my actual product - if you were going to launch a Children's Book, how would you do it? Simple sales page? Kickstarter? Clickfunnels? All of the above? Social and Email lists are a...

    For sure! It's what I was calling the "process" of trying to get pregnant. I eventually just talked myself into the idea that it was fun and playful while subtly linking to sex (that's never a bad thing, right?) I don't discount the possibility that it's off the mark, but sometimes a little...

    Wow! Thanks for all the amazing insights. Shortest answer: I just had to get started! Longer answer: I've already implemented a few of these great suggestions. I have a brand refresh slated for April, and I'll be debating the name leading up to that as well. Article content certainly needs...

    Literally had this conversation with my wife last night and I think you are mostly correct. Dads don't seek Dad-based info/entertainment/products specifically. In other words, when you're done being a Dad and the kids are off to bed or in school, you probably want to head to your workshop, flip...

    Thanks for the reply! This is not the first time I've been asked this question. I'll try to keep my answer brief. I was well aware that it somewhat pigeon holes the site to the pregnancy phase of becoming a Dad, but can't it still be applied to Dads? I mean, getting pregnant is basically the...
