Tania Bell / Product Delights

as I'm sure you know, EM funded OAI for a number of years so it's not so surprising he wants to control it now that - he apparently feels (with some justification) - OAI is straying from its founding principles too much. ofc there are some very sizeable egos involved, clashes of the said egos are inevitable etc. etc.

thanks for the offer, @rajiv_ayyangar the PH tagline: Your shortcut to profitabilitythe site tagline: Let's get you on the road to profitabilitysub: From tech idea to revenue and profitability: a shortcut for first-time founders.

talk about what you're working on, from the start. then, when it comes to (pre)launch, you'll have a crowd bought into what you're doing and happy to support you your next move - the launch.

ProfitWell, Obsidian, 37 signals

@natalia_eiriz you could split your focus: phase 1: get the product to the 'launch ready' stage phase 2: promo, marketing etc. so you get two chunks of time where you focus on one 'workstream' only. switching b/w dev work and marketing/promo can be hard. at the end of the day, the launch date is self-imposted. you can un-impose it, I suppose :)

Hey @thematheusmello, congrats on getting so close to launching! my two cents: switch your messaging from NOW 'pls help me' TO 'doing this exciting thing [describe the thing briefly]. wanna be part of it? hop on board!' ideally, you want to talk about it for a bit before you mention your ask. hope this helps. any Qs - happy to answer

here for the LOLs :))

so many potential reasons why these metrics at 1% conversion aren't brilliant: - where did you promote your launch? - how long did you run your promo for? - did you warm up your audience pre-launch? - who singed up? devs? potential users? - where did you get the idea for the product from? ie - your personal experience? - a shower thought? - something you've seen ppl say is a...

Obsidian is great but switching is a pain - you'd need to allocate time to do it and to figure out what plugins to use. but then it's a journey. here's how I made my transition: 1. tested Obsidian as a secondary note-taking tool (in parallel with Notes) for 3 to 4 weeks I had several non-negotiables that I wanted to get a feel for in Obsidian before deciding whether to switch...

@cryptosymposium i used to do something similar on LI and here's what I learned: 1. it's easy to grow your connection count on LI: - the more connection requests you send, the greater the chances of your connections count growing - tho not everyone will accept your connection request 2. beyond the 'are they in my target audience?' question, the key point to pay attention to is -> are...

would def give this tool a go. looks great

Hey Dan, thanks for asking (I'm stealing this approach for my launch! ). had a quick look - it's kind of really hard to get what the product does quickly. I - scrolled thru, - read a lot of text - clicked thru to your site and still I don't really get a clear idea of what your product does. 'Get back to the work that matters.' doesn't tell me anything about the product. the list of...

don't put all eggs in one basket - PH is one of many places to launch. so, it's 'keep launching'

that's a great question, @nickanisimov. it's hard to believe today but subscriptions were an innovation in tech a couple of decades back. if history is any guide, they're (over?)due for a disruption. one reason - ppl are getting tired of paying the 'equivalent of a cup of coffee a day' many times over. it's great for the companies that have the market but not so much for the consumer esp....
