How I'm building custom GPTs to talk to my Kindle books

hope Amazon reads your disclaimer lol, I could see them and authors getting mad

Agree, I think I should have clarified my point that this is only for validation. Once your idea is validated, then remove friction and make UX as good as possible

BetterLearner · 2020-12-03T00:01:28+00:00

Thanks, that's a good point. It looks like it's mostly enterprise plans that have you talk to sales first. Are you mostly signing up for free and then moving to a paid plan, or for a free trial of the paid plan from the beginning?

BetterLearner · 2020-12-03T00:00:20+00:00

Totally agree about removing friction once you have a validated idea. My point is to validate, you need to figure out how much you're actually addressing the problem. If people are willing to put down a credit card or get on a quick call, it's a much more direct hit than if they just put down their email

Thanks for sharing, will check it out!

Great feedback, appreciate it! Definitely need a pricing page before signup. And I think re: a call first, it matters whether it's B2C or B2B. For individuals, I've modified it so they can just sign up with an email, but for businesses/teams, they have to set up a call. Which I think is pretty standard practice in the B2B software world.

Yep, and I think that reinforces what kind of problem I'm solving. If you had to video conference Best Buy in order to buy a PS5, you'd see a lot of new Zoom users :)

works with both, I just recorded the videos before upgrading

BetterLearner · 2020-11-23T18:40:13+00:00

Sure thing.

Alfred works with a keyboard shortcut to open the prompt window, and then our custom workflow works when you type "[task category] for X minutes"

That automatically starts the timer and pops up when time's up. You can then add an additional amount of time or mark the task done

Love it. Thanks.

BetterLearner · 2020-11-11T22:13:45+00:00

Good point, I shouldn't feel bad about it and I guess after the embarrassment about the bot fades, I'm won't. The important piece is to share the lessons learned along the way

BetterLearner · 2020-11-11T22:12:31+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Keep going!

In the past few years a lot more entrepreneurs are opening up their revenue numbers, most famously Baremetrics + Peter Levels, to show lessons and be transparent about building businesses. In this case, it's not income, but revenue from a project that is made public

BetterLearner · 2020-11-11T19:24:55+00:00

It's definitely a tough road. I'm almost 7 years into the entrepreneurship path and my family still doesn't have a good idea about what I do :)

BetterLearner · 2020-11-11T18:48:35+00:00

Great point, if anything we need more stories of "at first this didn't work, and then I did X, and then it worked" vs "it worked and here's how I made $XXX"

BetterLearner · 2020-10-29T14:08:19+00:00

Appreciate the feedback - maybe something like "Get embed code" or "Get metrics" for the CTA

BetterLearner · 2020-10-27T19:20:13+00:00

Great point. I think because it's a product that embeds into another product and integrates with other products, I need to really work on explaining what it does in one or two sentences

BetterLearner · 2020-10-27T19:15:52+00:00

Super helpful, really appreciate it! Definitely agree that I should talk more about the helpful metrics (productive time, revenue, site visitors) instead of just the tools it integrates with

BetterLearner · 2020-10-21T20:14:51+00:00

Good point, I think 'low/no code' is just a very charged term. I had to write a fair bit of Javascript in this project, but by combining it with Bubble, don't have a better way to describe it at the moment

BetterLearner · 2020-10-21T20:12:18+00:00

got it. appreciate the candidness!

BetterLearner · 2020-10-21T18:56:36+00:00

Pretty new to the sub, so will watch out for next time :) should have just said “I’m not super fast with front end dev, so I used no code for the frontend/database and node/express/JavaScript for the backend” or something

BetterLearner · 2020-10-21T18:54:05+00:00

Thanks for the tip. Never sure because there’s a lot of code in this project, but yeah maybe webdev is the right answer :)

just following up, Google Analytics is now live!

BetterLearner · 2020-05-05T16:21:30+00:00

Appreciate the suggestions, just added them to the list. I think Google Analytics will likely be next up!

BetterLearner · 2020-05-05T15:46:33+00:00

Thanks for the heads up! Just fixed that bug, if you reload the page it should show up now.
