Building an App : Community Building/monetization for Content Creators

[SanaNrah]

Hi everyone,

In line with my desire to get serious about my project to get out of the mess, I am going to set up this logbook that will accompany the one and only project I will be working on for the coming months.

The idea is to bring accountability to the forum members, share my doubts and questions (which generally, when processed by my brainwashed mind, lead to abandonments) and especially my progress.

I want to build an app in a field that is doing very well today with well-established players, real revenues, but I hope to stand out by playing on two value skews that I have identified (commissions and new features that allow creators to generate more revenue).

My project: (please, if you see any areas for improvement in this approach, please let me know.)

• 25/01: Clarify the idea, the business model, the features, and improve my value skew and my value proposition.
• 01/02: Prepare wireframes/mockups and discuss them with interested creators.
• 22/02: Create an MVP -> Continue to gather reviews and insights.
• 30/05: Finalize a version and launch it on as many platforms/creators as possible.
• Learn & Adapt to get as close as possible to the famous Product Market Fit.

I often have the habit of starting a project and letting it sleep for months depending on my motivation and the vagaries of life, which is why I decided to set precise and quick deadlines to achieve things, keep the momentum, and not give my brain time to demotivate me.

Since I have very little experience in code I will do my best, leverage boilerplates and AI to create the MVP and the V1, but SINCE this wont be a problem until 22/02 according to my planning, I need to train my brain to solve REAL problems and not the ones I see along the way but not real yet.

To Do this week :

• Analyze Competitors apps / busines model / features
• Work on the identity / branding of my app
• Finalize a first version of the busines model / features / promise / value skews
