So I spoke too soon, my $80 freelancer actually pulled through. After a few days of edit requests I got some decently good quality renders. I got a single product shot, a group product shot, and an in-context view showing the sensor in a plant.
With the renders done, I focused on building the smoke test. I signed up for OptimizePress because I already had a Wordpress site up and it was the cheapest option I found. I tried to keep the customer in mind and empathize with them. I designed my landing page with a few questions in mind: How did they arrive here? What did they search for? How does my product address the problem that they have, and does my page communicate that?
My call to action form has an email input (promising a 10% discount code in return for an email address) and a "apply discount and buy now" button. When the user clicks it a popup appears with the discount code and explaining they will be among the first to know about the launch.
Once I was satisfied with the landing page, I set up my MailCheat(Chimp) account to send welcome emails to anyone that signs up. Finally, I set up some Google ads, and pointed them to the site. It's been an hour and I can't stop checking, lol. Nothing yet.
My first turn of the market machine. Gumballs baby! Excited but also a little nervous/scared. The product isn't even real yet I'm worried about what people might think about the concept. I guess I'm about to find out!
Oh, and my cat has been feeling better lately
