Just starting a new thread about my new product coming out i've been working on for a while. Not going to share the link w/ the forum because it's not important Going to use this thread to keep myself accountable.
(previous thread was on e-commerce that was making $ but, just while I was working on this)
Random story:
I found my main developer for this project by finding out he was already working on a somewhat similar project and convinced him to quit and come work for me. Opportunity is everywhere, you just have to try.
How I've always got funding on all my past failures/these two startups:
Find investors in your industry
Stalk them
E-mail them/LinkedIn message them/ Get in contact however possible
Wait for response
then try and get a call and or meetup if they're local. Even if they're not interested they will generally be willing to meetup if you frame the conversation right. I've been told no many times but, every time I get told no- I still go for the meeting to make that connection & always follow up.
Right now were sitting at over 1k pre-signups (All from hard work) and just launched private beta.
Goal till public beta:
Create shareable content for social media everyday
Create a valuable blog post everyday/other day.
Increase our signups per day pre launch.
My guess is it's going to be around 1 month until we get our first $1 - Were just finishing up fixing some bugs users encountered and then adding 1 more feature set before public launch.
I also have an iPhone + Android app coming out that I think is going to be pretty big but, that's completely stealth right now and not going to be talking about it in this thread. (Also received funding for this)
A little about me: I've failed at least 3x in a big way so far. Many small failures as well which I don't really count because I didn't put enough effort into them.
Feedback from users trying out the product has been good so far. Were going to be charging around $20-25/mo
