Hello. I'm starting next iteration in Act, Assess, Adjust process of my business road. I'm fullstack developer from Poland (backend, frontend, web apps, mobile apps, games, desktop apps) and my earnings in my country comparing to other people are high so I have nice fundamentals. I'm almost 30. The things I'm interested in and like to do outside of programming are football, BJJ, baking pizza, barbecue'ing, traveling, snorkeling, reading books, playing board games with friends and generally I'm big fan of life. I was interested in electronics as well in my study time.
I've read "The Fastlane Milionaire", "The Great Rat Escape" and recently "The Lean Startup".
The first thing I've changed thanks to this forum and DeMarco's books in my business world was creating apps based on people's needs instead of my own ideas (I've created some apps and games based on my own ideas and after sometime I thought they were bad ideas). With new approach as a member of a lot of FB groups with people who wanna become a professional programmer I figured out that a lot of people don't know how to start. I've created the google forms to discover these people needs in details and collect first emails. After 2-3 weeks helping these people and adding link to my forms I collected 40 answers. Then using knowledge from "The Lean Startup" book I've prepared simple landing page representing course for those people with fake "Buy" button. I've just added first free module as MVP, but I wanted to check how many people would like spent some money for my course. I've sent link to LP to people from google forms and bought cheap ad in FB. The result after 5 days? 0 customers
I don't know if there is something wrong in my LP or people really prefer spent a lot of money for bootcamp than my cheap course. But I'm happy because it was the first attempt with all business rules. Besides I've created this course for people from my country (~38 mln people) so even if 1000 people (I think it's a lot) would buy my course I will earn as much money as I earn in 3 months and unfortunately it's single payment for course, not subscription.
But now I feel confused. Of course, I will do some fixes in my LP but I don't know what to do next. Why?
I know, there are a lot of problems in this world, but I don't see anything what I'm able to fix. How could I look for people's problem? Should I register in some random groups in FB or Reddit and look for problems and needs? For instance people in BBQ and pizza groups don't have problems to earn money from. The next question - should I look for problems in polish groups or international groups? Yeah, I need next problem to build next Landing Page and check if people would like to buy it!
