Documenting my fastlane attempt

[JayS5]

I started a thread yesterday without realising I could just document it all as posts within a single thread, so here goes.

Quick recap for context: I read fastlane last week, built a language practice app for people who want to focus on speaking and listening skills specifically - launched and working on learning to market the product.

Yesterday I had just acquired my second customer and today I've been in contact with a few more people to try and secure a third.

So far I've got a few rejections, but my aim here is to collect 100 NOs as quickly as possible.

A couple have expressed interest but have yet to sign up so waiting to see how that goes.

I'm thinking of doing things that don't scale to get my early customers, maybe approaching language schools etc.

Just had another reminder today at work about why I want to go fastlane. Here's to the mission and everyone else on the journey.
