    Create the single best resource for your niche. And you won't have to worry about selling your product.

    Posted: 08 Oct 2020 08:43 AM PDT

    TLDR. Content is winner takes all. It's the 1% that gets 99% of the attention. If you can create the single best resource for your niche you won't have to worry about selling your product.

    1/ The Michelin Guide

    Clermont-Ferrand, France, 1900.

    Andre and Edouard Michelin had just started making tyres.

    The problem was there were less than 300 cars in France.

    So hoping to encourage car ownership they published the world's first Michelin Guide.

    It was the ultimate guide for new motorists: maps, instructions on how to change tyres, locations of fine restaurants, etc.

    And they printed 35,000 copies and gave them away for free.

    Over the next decade the number of motorists soared. And so did demand for the guide.

    The brothers started charging 7 francs and ramped up distribution. By 1908 different versions were being sold throughout Europe.

    It would have been easy to rest on their laurels. But each year the brothers took pride in improving the guide.

    Shortly after the First World War they hired inspectors to visit restaurants. And the first Michelin stars were awarded.

    By 1930 each new edition was a regular on France's bestseller list.

    Why am I telling you this?

    Well, The Michelin brothers made something so useful they never had to worry about selling tyres.

    Car enthusiasts loved the Michelin Guide. What sort of tyres do you think they bought?

    2/ Confessions of an Advertising Man

    In 1962 David Ogilvy had 19 clients.

    He took a long vacation to write about everything he'd learnt from 14 years in advertising.

    Confessions of an Advertising Man sold 1 million copies. And in two decades Ogilvy's agency grew to 3000 clients and 267 offices around the world.

    3/ River Pools

    After the 2008 recession River Pools were on the brink of collapse.

    They cut their $250k marketing budget and started writing blog posts answering every single question customers had ever asked them.

    700 articles later they'd built the Wikipedia for Fibreglass pools. It saved their business. Every month pulling in 300k visitors to their website.

    ***

    I'm re-telling these stories because their lessons have been forgotten.

    Throwing a blog on a website and churning out content is the status quo. But what does it really achieve?

    Content is winner takes all. The top 1% gets 99% of the attention.

    So set out to create the single best resource for your niche.

    And don't expect immediate results. Content compounds in a way other marketing channels can't. (See image)

    Anyways, that's all folks. Thanks for reading. If you really want to improve your marketing you might like my newsletter. Short, sweet and practical case studies!

    Our county has been severely affected by the coronavirus. We started manufacturing disposable face masks in the city. Will report back on how the manufacturing/distribution goes :) www.america-care.com

    My app scaled to 46,000 users two weeks after launch and made $0. Lessons learned.

    Posted: 07 Oct 2020 04:44 PM PDT

    Last year, I launched Guess the Throne, a Game of Thrones death pool app. I built it with a friend of mine in two weeks and launched a few just before the final season premiered. We had one goal: achieve product/market fit. Oh boy did we!

    Below are some of the lessons learned and what we wish we had done differently.

    Don't get in the weeds

    We coded the bare minimum features for the app. At launch (and after), users couldn't even edit their entry name. That led to a bunch of really funny support emails asking for us to change their name because they created an entry with a very NSFW name 😅.

    The big takeaway here is that people didn't miss that feature or any of the other features we left out. The faster you get your product in someone's hands the more actionable feedback you'll receive.

    Be Scrappy

    We launched the app with a $150 marketing budget. Most of our users came from engaging with communities on Reddit, Facebook, forums, podcasts, and Twitch. If you can engage the small communities, that'll lead to more growth and knowledge about your market. I wrote up a blog with how we marketed the app on my website if you'd like to read more.

    Ads Aren't Always the Answer for Growth

    If you have a small marketing budget I encourage you to think about the cost per conversion before considering ads, especially if your app is free/free to try. For example, we found a fan account on Twitter that had a bunch of followers. We reached out and they said for $20 they'd give us one tweet. We tried it out and the tweet blew up! Loads of people came to our site from that one tweet for a $0.20 cost per user, NOT cost per click.

    Have a Monetary Strategy

    I will say that we didn't set out to make money off of this app, but once we started receiving thousands of requests per second I could feel my credit card catching fire 😱. By the time it had happened it was too late since we had never thought about making money. We tried making it donation based where we'd donate 50% to charity and 50% to keep the app up, but it only amounted to around $40. The cost for the servers were over $500.

    Get your Bearings

    This was the first product (after many tries) that took off to become popular. There's a variety of reasons I believe it did, but once you find success expand your lens to see the bigger landscape. Why did it become popular? What made it special? What's next? Don't be afraid to paint in broad strokes once you've found something special.

    Good luck with your products, think bigger, and stay positive.

    Edit: Thank you all so much for the flair and all the comments! I'll be going through them throughout the day so keep them coming if you have questions.

    My SaaS app did $10,000 in revenue, just one month after launch and how PayPal f**ked it

    Posted: 08 Oct 2020 01:54 AM PDT

    Last month on September 1st, I launched Listnr, as a LTD (Lifetime Deal), it took me and 2 other part-time employees about 5ish months to build the app from scratch (none of us were full time). Would be 3 months, but we spent the last 2 months perfecting the app, polishing it.

    Our Initial goal with the product was find a Product/Market fit, which I think already exists(?) but anyways, we did it.

    As soon as we launched our LTD (with an AppSumo Competitor), we saw sales coming in, some annoying support requests as well, but most importantly I made my first few dollars on the internet for the first time.

    Now this where things started getting interesting, as we got more paying customer, we got more support requests and feature requests and that where we started adding more features. Things started going smoothly, people found Listnr to be very useful and I started enjoying the process and working on our Voice Cloning Feature.

    Now 30 days later, when we end the LTD, its time for the AppSumo competitor to pay us our Split (50% of 45% of the revenue), now being a long time PayPal user, I was happy for the Pay day; couldn't wait for the rev to come into my PayPal account.

    Sent the invoice, received the payment, now as soon as I tried to withdraw it from PayPal, these guys ended up putting a 180 Day ban on my PayPal account, for NO Reason.

    After days of me messaging Customer Service, I don't get jack sh*t. Still Haven't.

    So basically PayPal is ILLEGALY sitting on thousands of dollars of my SaaS revenue, and I can't do anything about it.

    2 days later, I receive this: "Hey man, we're keeping your money, tough luck"

    https://imgur.com/a/O7qo3oF

    So instead of giving up and keep operations running I started ramping up on User Acquisition and started another LTD on Gumroad this time - https://gumroad.com/l/aJgCEp

    Its the only way I see feasable at the moment to keep operations running and make up for the lost revenue, until PayPal releases my funds.

    I Got My First Customer Last Night (and we didn't even have a company name yet lol)

    Posted: 08 Oct 2020 07:24 AM PDT

    I just got my first customer last night!

    $600 over 12 months.

    Craziest part?

    I didn't even have a company name and my cold emails were from my gmail address!

    So how did this happen?

    Let me explain.

    My Idea

    My idea is to build engineering team profiles for companies to help them hire senior engineers.

    My Outreach

    So for me, all my outreach is via cold email.

    And with each email, I attach a custom example profile. It has their logo, company description...

    Here's what an example profile looks like.

    My goal with this is to "Show, Don't Tell" and to get them to be able to feel the product.

    My Cold Email

    And here's the exact cold email I'm using.

    It's short, to the point, and based around how the idea benefits them.

    Interacting During the Deal

    So with this first customer, the CTO connected me with their Head of HR.

    HR asked me for my "terms and contract..."

    I got pretty nervous here because, to be honest, I didn't even have a company name! lol

    So here's what I did.

    I listed exactly what I'd do in as short as steps as possible and I listed the benefits... view email here

    After that, I anchored the price.

    I said, "Normally it's $1800/yr. Bc we're in beta, so it's $600/yr."

    Then below, I asked them to share their concerns.(view this part here)

    My thought was hearing their concerns is much better than getting a "No", and I also gave the HR exec the example profile so they could "see it" too.

    To my surprise, they literally said, "Let's do it" and asked me to send over an invoice.

    Soooo

    Deciding a Name

    I guess this is where Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, etc. creates a company name? lol

    I made this list of name ideas at 5:52am and...

    We chose: aboutus.dev!

    From there, I designed this simple invoice and sent it over to them using Hello Sign.

    And last night they signed it wit CC # and everything!

    It felt so good! I finally got a customer.

    My biggest learning?

    Build in a high-value space.

    I worked on ideas for years in markets where people aren't willing AND able to pay.

    It's fucking draining.

    Now, I'm in engineer recruiting where companies pay $20K+ to hire a good engineer.

    Much better chance for success.

    Thank you for reading. If you enjoyed this and want to say "Thanks," feel free to retweet the thread on Twitter.

    Cheers, -Ryland

    My two daughters started a jewelry design business during a pandemic, while in high school, during travel sports, and with part-time jobs....and it's fantastic.

    Posted: 08 Oct 2020 08:39 AM PDT

    As the father of two teenage daughters, something pretty amazing has happened. They've taken an idea.....a passion, and turned it into a business where they design, make (all handmade) and sell necklaces, bracelets, and anklets.

    Considering that they started this during a global pandemic, while in high school, during travel sports, and with part-time jobs, their success is that much sweeter. They've knocked on doors (real and virtual) and had two retail boutiques, in less than two months, purchase inventory (and are already getting reorders). They've even designed a piece to honor a friend that lost his life in an accident over the summer and have been donating proceeds to his foundation.

    I've been in sales for over 24 years and I've always respected hustle. It's that much greater when you see it happening with your own daughters.

    Entrepreneurs of Non-Internet/software/e-commerce/etc - How did you decide what to do?

    Posted: 08 Oct 2020 01:59 PM PDT

    Most posts seem to be related to more 'online' types of businesses. (Nothing wrong with more online businesses!) But I am talking brick and mortar, service businesses, restraints, retail, bars, laundromats, etc, etc.

    For those who went a non-internet path- what did you choose, how did you decide and have you been successful?

    Any advice for a DYI, healthy baked goods food business, in nyc

    Posted: 08 Oct 2020 12:32 PM PDT

    So, I live in a nice quiet neighborhood in NYC and ive been watching all the wonderful, small restaurants and bars, start to shut their doors due to the effects of COVID. IMO rent is still too pricey for me to even consider opening a place and its a totally uncertain environment.

    Im a firm believer that healthy food is a lasting trend and I am very interested in starting a small, simple healthy baked goods and snacks business that focuses on cheap nutritious snacks. I suppose coffee shops and small bodegas are the main places that I would sell my goods to, but im also interested in doing the social media thing and selling items there.

    Any words of wisdom from culinary entrepreneurs or anyone that finds this post interesting would help.

    How I got my first 100+ newsletter subscribers in hours! ������

    Posted: 08 Oct 2020 08:17 AM PDT

    Hi all!

    I recently launched a newsletter, summarising books and other content to provide lessons for entrepreneurs but didn't have a clue how best to secure sign-ups. I posted on forums, asking for hints and tips - which proved to be very helpful. Overall, things were very successful in terms of my initial launch (received over 100 subscribers) and thought it would be good to share some things that worked for me.

    Takeaways

    1. LinkedIn

    LinkedIn is a professional network, which was a great help for me - and probably the source of most of my initial sign-ups. One helpful tip is to link the launch of the newsletter/product to your current career journey. This way, people who know you, who may not even have apparent needs for signing up may be more willing to support and engage with the post. This feature is helpful because that places it in their for their contacts to see - spreading your initial circle quite quickly.

    2. Target Audience - Platforms

    Once I had started securing the low hanging fruit, I started trying to reach my target audience - entrepreneurs. One example that I used was Indiehackers - a platform for founders to share thoughts, ideas and progress. A relevant post in these settings led to over 100 comments, 50 likes, and a good number of subscribers.

    3. Other Socials

    These were useful, but the ROI felt lower pre-launch. However, post-launch, sharing new posts became proved was effective. Because it was a newsletter, for example, I was able to repurpose the content and post snippets on other platforms that referred to the source. This approach was helpful. I also placed a reference to the blog on the bottom corner of all original graphics. Additionally, I shared the first post on LinkedIn after the launch too.

    4. Distributors / Directories

    Finally, I placed the newsletter on several up-and-coming newsletter directories. This route hasn't yielded a large number of results but got a few sign-ups are trickling in time.

    Conclusion

    It's not been easy, but it's something that can be replicated by others. Leveraging as many funnels as possible for any launch is helpful. That said, would love to hear whatever tricks come to mind for you?

    Supply chain services directory

    Posted: 08 Oct 2020 03:31 PM PDT

    Would anyone be interested in a supply chain services directory? We have these for renovation contractors and BBB for businesses but it seems supply chain services are left out and I see a lot of posts requesting recommendations of good companies/services etc.

    For example, you could search for fulfilment centers, inspection or sourcing agencies. Request a quotation and receive bids. Look through reviews from other buyers and choose who you want to work with. Like fiverr or upwork but strictly for supply chain services.

    I was thinking to take payment on the platform to avoid false reviews and create a service guarantee. Then start consolidating data, like who had success/failure with which company(or supplier), why. Common issues for specific industries/suppliers/logistics and start creating a "beaten path" of knowledge, maybe even helping these service providers/users become more efficient.

    I think there's a lot of lost data by these companies that can be useful to save time, build trust and expand reach. Maybe creating a database of supplier experiences? Showing which supplier had weak points and where, optimizing supply chain strategies for certain industries/product types, etc.

    I'm not selling anything and I'm hoping this idea could help new, and existing sellers operate more efficiently and with more confidence. I know it can be scary to start on your own or trust a 3rd party company.

    Running into a software brick wall.. any advice?

    Posted: 08 Oct 2020 02:54 PM PDT

    So one of my clients is running into a software brick wall. They're a retailer with 10 locations and a central warehouse. Their custom software solution covers inventory, retail POS, product adding and price editing, etc.

    We were looking into Lightspeed POS which was great but now needs an accompanying warehouse software... so we spoke with SkuVault but their management system doesn't push data only accept so now we need a another system for adding products, editing pricing, etc?

    Any suggestions?

    Looking for a payment gateway that lets me accept payments (I'm under 18)

    Posted: 08 Oct 2020 02:27 PM PDT

    Is there any payment gateway that I can use for my app to accept payments keeping in mind I'm under 18? I was thinking about going with PayPal using my parents' account but I see some complaints that PayPal just decided to ban people and not return their money so it scares me.

    Stripe is unfortunately not an option as it is not available in my country.

    My experience partnering with AppSumo

    Posted: 08 Oct 2020 02:23 PM PDT

    Recently I've partnered with AppSumo to offer my E-Book "Start With A Side-Project" on their marketplace, after the success it had on Gumroad.

    Thus far I've made just a few sales (on AppSumo platform) but with minimum marketing efforts and while it's still early to say, it seems to me that AppSumo was the right choice for growth for my E-Book.

    I'm looking forward to get some Sumo-lings reviews and respond to my readers!

    What are your thoughts/experiences on AppSumo?

    Changing tarnished reputation?

    Posted: 08 Oct 2020 01:58 PM PDT

    So I had a second business venture going on and became fairly hands off on my first. The person I left on charge of pricing our products has been doing it already for a while, but ultimately I always had the final decision. My supervision basically kept him in check from doing anything stupid (which tbh is pretty characteristic of him). He's a bit too money hungry. It's understandable as every business needs to make money, but he had raised margins so high that we started getting abnormal complaints.

    I'm back to devoting my time on this business and I'm trying to repair the damage he'd done. We have some important customers who now consider us to be expensive and aren't ordering like usual. Basically how our industry works is despite having price lists most people do not always check it as the market is changing continually. For the most part they rely on trust. Like if you have been working with a lawyer for several years and always checked his invoicing and found it to be reasonable, you may no longer check the market for other quotes because he is known to you as being cheap. But of course now we are perceived as expensive, and I feel like the trust has been broken.

    Our selling point was never purely price, but it was definitely a big part of why our customers had selected us.

    What should I do from here?

    Can you jump into your business full time, with no savings. And make It?

    Posted: 08 Oct 2020 01:22 PM PDT

    I work in a factory. And I absolutely despise it. I have a small cash side business of working on cars as a mobile mechanic. I just do maintenance and small repairs here and there. I dont really advertise much at all because I don't have the time to take on too many customers.

    But I want to. I want to jump in head first. But I have no savings. And the problem is, if I wait until I have money saved up. I feel like I'll be waiting forever. I work 40 hours a week. And take home about $500. So I look at it like I make about $100 each working day.

    With my side business I make $100 in about 1 hour. I could do just 2 small jobs a day. Work 4 hour days. And still make double what I make at the factory.

    The customers are out there. I live in a big city. And all I do right now is make a small posting to a local page, every few weeks. And I usually gain about 10 inquires just from that one posting every few weeks.

    I feel like if I dove in full time. Put flyers everywhere. post on social media. Get my name and business out there. I honestly feel like I could be busy almost immediately. And potentially triple my income. This would be a game changer for my mental health and financial health with my family. I already have a huge majority of the tools needed. I don't have to invest any more money into tools. Just some minor advertising and a business license.

    I'm just scared to. Because my entire family, including my wife. Thinks I need to keep it as a side job or were gonna crash and burn. Nobody believes in it.

    Do you have any advice for me? I'm litterally loathing the idea of going back to work next week. Now that I've made a new posting 2 days ago I already have 4 people asking for quotes..

    Looking for co founder for my CPG beverage company

    Posted: 08 Oct 2020 09:22 AM PDT

    I'm starting a company in the coffee space and I am looking for someone that would be interested in partnership. I'd be looking to raise $300- $500k through friends and family, Kickstarter/ Indiegogo, and eventually sell the company in 5-7 years.

    Ideally, this person has business experience either running a company or the right skills to complement an entrepreneur like myself - the perfect candidate would have strong skills in finance, marketing, and strong social media is a big plus.

    A little about me - I've been an entrepreneur for the past 10 years having owned and operated several small businesses in the food and beverage sector. Eventually I sold all of them incrementally over the years. My experience consists of operations management for a catering company, creative direction with branding / packaging, director of operations for a brewery, continuous improvement on production, sales and distribution.

    I can give more details to the right person, ,but just wanted to start to put my feelers out.

    Thanks for reading and any interest.

    Emotional baggage around work and money

    Posted: 08 Oct 2020 09:20 AM PDT

    Four the last four years I've been working to explore entrepreneurship, finally quitting my job two years ago to make the leap. But the whole time I've struggled to make money and recently came to the realization that I actually might have some deep-seated emotional baggage around money. I was wondering if anybody in this subreddit might relate, and/or have some insight and resources to share.

    The short version of the story is I grew up with a manipulative, unpredictable, and controlling father. He used money as a method of control. Sometimes generously doling it out, other times holding it back and lashing out when the topic came up. He made us do a lot of yard work and manual labor around the house, always with the enticement of money, but then sometimes deciding to withhold once the job was done, promising to pay us later, or buying a pizza for us as payment instead. I never liked my father and always found this behavior frustrating. By the time I was 14 I went and got a job, partly to get some space from him and partly to take control over money for myself.

    Yet I've always struggled with money in my life, and recently came to realize just how much I've been devaluing and sabotaging myself around money. Emotionally, I don't even want it. I'm happy to do any work that I find fulfilling, but I often don't even equate work to money at all either. It's like the two are separate. Work is just a dumb obligation in life. Now that I've thought about it more, it seems pretty obvious the reason why.

    My entrepreneurial plans have just devolved into doing freelance marketing work. As I'm typing this I'm actually realizing that in many ways the different jobs I've had in life just slide right into that emotionally well-worn space that had been created by my relationship with work, money, and my father as a kid. I do the work, I get inconsistent rewards. I resent everybody involved...

    Yep. Repeating the pattern...

    Does anybody in this subreddit have any thoughts, ideas, or resources about how to work through or get over emotional baggage around work and money? Are there books anybody could recommend? Do other people struggle with this too?

    This recent revelation is frustrating but has opened a lot of doors too.

    Any insight anybody has to share is appreciated!

    Thanks!

    How I run An e-commerce website for (nearly) free

    Posted: 07 Oct 2020 11:09 PM PDT

    Hi guys, first time writing a post on here but I'd like to share how I've started running an e-commerce website the cheapest way possible (only pay for hosting).

    This is for people starting out, students or if you just want to test things and see what sticks.

    You can sell goods, have a newsletter and contact form all for free, all you need is to know how to set up a website by either coding it yourself or using a free website builder.

    #1 Gumroad

    I think a lot of people know about gumroad, but when I started out I didn't. And it took a while for me to find it. I was looking at all the major e-commerce solutions, Shopify, Squarespace, Webflow.. But I needed to be able to code this myself as I had a specific technical need, and spending over 20$ a month on something that was more of a hobby at the time didn't really feel justified.

    Gumroad takes care of the selling and distribution of your goods as well as letting users re-download the products, receipts etc.. Personally I only want to sell digital products, and this saves me from having a complicated back-end to take of distribution, orders, past sales, account management, GDPR.. a ton of headache.

    When users want to buy something from my website, a pop-up appears, they enter their card or paypal details and receive the goods in their inbox. Dead simple.

    #2 Mailchimp

    I wanted to start a newsletter around my niche, so I've stuck with Mailchimp's free tier which allows you to have up to 2000 contacts subscribed. If you pass that it's only 10$ a month for 50 000, which is very reasonable imo and if you're getting those numbers i'm sure you'll be able to afford it. I had to play around with the embedded form a bit so that the user was redirected correctly on signup but otherwise it works great.

    #3 Sengrid / AWS SES

    Last thing I needed to have was a contact form, but my website is running without a backend. To have a free contact form I created an Amazon Lambda, paired with Amazon SES (Simple Email Service) to send the mail, and you can send thousands of mails before having to pay. One thing I didn't like about this was that Amazon had my card details, and If someone created a bot to spam my contact form over night, I could be racking up a massive bill without noticing.

    Instead of this, I found out my static hosting provides an easy way to set up Node Apps. I created a simple Express backend thats sends the mail using Sendgrids free tier, without having my card details.

    So using Gumroad, Mailchimp and Sendgrid I've set my self up a nice little e-commerce website, currently only paying for hosting and Gumroad takes a percentage of the sales.

    If you're interested in seeing the results, send me DM and i'll send you a link to my site.

    Have a great day

    Anyone pay for a chatbot service that can answer a few questions?

    Posted: 08 Oct 2020 12:04 PM PDT

    I'm trying to understand what metrics you use to determine if the chatbot is effective for your business and what type of problem is being solved or not solved.

    Perhaps someone knows of links/resources that I could refer to instead of a 5min chat?

    How would you start an online jewelry business step by step?

    Posted: 08 Oct 2020 11:53 AM PDT

    My sister makes handmade niche baroque jewelry and has been pretty successful over the years and I'm looking to help her take it online. What are some step by step details on the most important things to complete to start this business?

    • Should I be focusing on the etsy store first and doing CPC on there?
    • Should I create a wordpress site and run google CPC while trying to build out SEO?
    • What about paid social media ads? Is it generally advised to start building organic sales traffic first before paying for ads?

    Step by step instructions on the most important tasks to undertake would be awesome!
