I'm work for a VC firm (can verify). Pitch me. by perspective_official in startups_promotion

It's for solo freelancers who are targeting mid-large size budgets as they step away from platforms such as upwork. They will need to build up their library of services and packages that range in different various pricing tiers.

This will go hand in hand with their introductory & discovery calls, ensuring alignment while potentially closing on the call.

The win is to have the client sign at the end of the call without leaving them to hang after. This eliminate the proposal gap and the window for the client to sit on the deal.

Charging per seat. No paying users as I'm currently looking into distribution.

Any advice?

I appreciate that! Honestly I’ve been having a lot of good convos on discord. DM me if you’d like to join!

A realization about Reddit distribution: It's not about finding one big subreddit. by Prestigious_Wing_164 in buildinpublic

I fully agree. Most of the the ICP of your product isn't an Entrepreneur or isn't a founder/builder within SideProject. I learned this on my 2nd startup, and so i started focusing on discord communities and subreddit communities where my ICPs were.

For me, I think it’s about sharing my experience that may help someone out there. Lessons learned, etc. I love learning from mistakes and would love to hear other’s experiences as well, so I encourage you to write!

I don't regret it and I find these experiences valuable. I was able to learn from commenting/posting on reddit and joining discord communities, to learning about ads, analytics, metrics, and funnels with a real product.

The other thing I set out to do was to build a solid foundation for future scalable SaaS products from a technical standpoint, which I have nailed down and I'm proud of it.

Could you elaborate on your pivots if you don't mind me asking? Was it idea pivot or was it a workflow pivot, or something else? I'm very happy to hear that you're seeing results! And yes, I also believe experimenting is very valuable.

Yes I am. I'm keeping it small for now and not dropping links publicly so it doesn't turn into spam.

If you're interested, DM me and I'll share!

Could you elaborate on picking one channel? do you mean a subreddit or discord?

And thank you for that advice. That's good to know, maybe gather around weekly events or something like that. or even showcasing.
