    Weekly Feedback and Support Thread

    Posted: 31 Dec 2018 03:07 AM PST

    Create something? Let's see it!

    Feedback or Support Requester

    Please use the following format:

    URL:

    Purpose of Startup:

    Technologies Used:

    Feedback or Support Requested:

    Comments:

    Post your site along with your stack and technologies used and receive feedback from the community. Please refrain from just posting a link and instead give us a bit of a background about your creation.

    Feel free to request general feedback or specific feedback in a certain area like user experience, usability, design, or code review.

    Feel free to request support with hiring talent, finding a job/clients, recruiting a co-founder, getting your pitch deck made, or anything objective based that is specific to your startup.

    You can also receive advice and feedback in instant chat using the /r/startups discord.

    Feedback Providers

    • Please post constructive feedback. Simply saying, "That's good" or "That's bad" is useless feedback. Explain why.

    • Consider providing concrete feedback about the problem rather than the solution. Saying, "get rid of red buttons" doesn't explain the problem. Saying "your site's success message being red makes me think it's an error" provides the problem. From there, suggest solutions.

    • Be specific. Vague feedback rarely helps.

    • Again, focus on why.

    • Always be respectful

    • /r/startups would appreciate your expertise on our discord.

    Support Providers

    • Please post some background information about yourself and why you're capable of providing support

    • Feel free to share a relevant URL

    • Be extremely clear what you are offering your support in exchange for: money, equity, barter/trade of services/products, or a mix of those--or if you are volunteering your support for free

    Question on how to manage partnership percentages and be prepared for investors.

    Posted: 31 Dec 2018 03:09 PM PST

    We have a company and a site that has good growth and is profitable.

    We have 5 partners total, all with varying amount of ownership percentages. We want to make sure that if we take on investors in the future that we maintain a majority ownership so that we can keep doing what is working for us.

    I hate to sound like an idiot as I simply don't know, but is that how it works? Do we need to ensure that our core partners maintain 51% of the ownership so we don't loose control of the vision for the site?

    We are just looking for a common strategy to follow / copy in order to allows us to give the partners all fair ownership percentages and also allows us to seek investors in 2019. Its seems like a very tricky thing to do and it is causing some internal strife.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Site Monetization Strategy

    Posted: 31 Dec 2018 05:48 AM PST

    This isn't a true start-up (not looking for funding or hypergrowth), but this sub seems much better at advice than others, so here it goes.

    I have a personal finance advice website that has a lot of original content (2000+ articles) that range from insurance to banking to budgeting. The stats on it are pretty good with 30k unique visitors per day, low bounce rate, many users visiting multiple pages.

    Currently no login, all open, not selling anything, no mailing list, no ads. So, no monetization at all. Built on WordPress.

    I feel there is potential here, but I would like to get some advice on what are some of the things I could do to monetize. The ideas I have had so far are: - AdSense, or similar - Affiliate marketing - Premium content section

    Would love to hear your advice.

    I have 4 designs with 8 different color socks

    Posted: 31 Dec 2018 11:55 PM PST

    Hey guys, I have an online business selling socks. I have 4000 pcs socks at the moment and want to sell at least half of them by June 2019,

    Is it worth it to spend money on ads? or how should I go selling these socks?

    I tries both pop up shop and online ads, my online ads do better because I have lower costs and able to save customer details.

    Im confused whether I should spend a lot of money on advertising. I fear Im wasting a lot of traffic on my website since people dont have much socks to choose from and it will lower my conversiom

    How to find the right startup?

    Posted: 31 Dec 2018 07:30 PM PST

    Hello!

    It's dawned on me that I operate at my best when I'm on a small, dedicated team that's in 'wartime'... basically your typical early startup environment. So I'm currently on the look for the 'right' startup to try and help and I'm really struggling!

    A few things to note:

    1. I do some basic coding, but I really don't care to be a developer or a technical employee (I'll leave that to the people that are passionate about code.)
    2. I'm very passionate about business strategy, growth, and management. I can contribute you a lot from a business perspective.
    3. I don't care for cryptocurrency, social media, marketing tech, real estate, medical tech or pharma.

    This has seemed to make it impossible, from my research, to find a potentially good fit! Every company I seem to come across seems to be 'bitcoin, but this one is green!', 'Facebook ads, but smart... I think' or 'Like ZocDoc but called DocZoc'.

    Now, I know this is silly - there are definitely some amazing new startups out there. I'm just having trouble finding them. Does anyone have any good tips for finding startups in their early stages?

    How would you promote my website

    Posted: 31 Dec 2018 08:54 AM PST

    Hello everyone,

    I've been in the past few weeks trying to build my website and now it's now to market it. My website is a portfolio platform without building a website. I've posted the project on some subreddits and advertise (a little) on Twitter. I'm getting some traffic (with good responses from people) but the conversion is good as I expected. So, I was wondering if someone can provide me with some tips on marketing such a platform?

    My budget is limited though and the platform is in beta version (it's free). It's ready for usage.

    Thank you.
