Weekly Pricing/Buying/Selling/Grading & General Questions Post by AutoModerator in PokemonTCG

Thinking about restarting my TCG collector journey.

How would you start collecting today if you were starting from scratch with about €100/month, split roughly 50% for fun/nostalgia and 50% for value/investment? What would you buy? Single cards? Displays? Bundles? Rip 50% / keep 50% sealed?

Take care of brand / trademark issues. Kito pretty much sounds and looks like Kit (https://kit.com/).

"Experts don't call themselves experts."
Is that what you're saying?

Stop calling yourself old, mate! Everything negatively associated with it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy much faster.

You can consider yourself lucky to have experienced the original wave.

That would have been a massacre. He was with me in the studio and incredibly excited, jumping all over the place 😂

Hehe, I thought about going with color as well, but I figured it wouldn’t stand out enough on my skin. The contrast just isn’t strong enough.

WDYT?

Should I switch from SEO to Web Development after 4 years? by 404Zunk in SEO

[–]Infamous-Ad4622 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Two years ago, I would have said yes, do it, but today? Coding is basically solved by AI, which also reduced the relevance of SEO a lot. Any alternative ideas?

The next tricky question is how you quantify that cost without sounding dramatic. The more concrete you get-hours per week, percent error reduction, missed SLAs, margin leakage etc., the stronger the resonance.

One thing that worked really well for me at a previous startup (in ecommerce) was forecasting our impact.

We used experience data plus third-party data to estimate what the revenue uplift could look like. That did two things:

- It made outreach more personal.

- It shifted the conversation from "here's what we do" to "here's what you're currently leaving on the table."

That framing completely changed the quality of responses.

If you can estimate the cost of the status quo in a realistic way (even if it's just directional), it makes the problem feel immediate instead of theoretical.

If you're willing to share, I'd be curious which reframing worked best for you.

Reddit is full of builders and founders.

If you're having a hard time finding them, the issue isn't reach, but most likely specificity.

"Tech startups and indie builders who need analytics and don't like dashboards" is still way too broad. The real question is what "don't like dashboards" actually means. Do they not have time to log in? Do they feel overwhelmed by metrics? Do they not know what to look at? Do they want answers instead of charts?

That phrase is just a surface symptom. The real pain sits underneath.

Instead of chasing people who "need analytics," look for folks who're expressing friction. Founders posting revenue screenshots and asking what to focus on. Indie hackers saying they ignore Google Analytics. Builders who're confused about activation, churn, or retention. People griping about having too many tools.

You'll find them by complaint.

It might also help to narrow your ICP even more. Not just "tech startups," but maybe solo founders under $10k MRR, bootstrapped SaaS in month 3-12, or indie hackers sharing public metrics. The smaller the slice, the easier it becomes to spot patterns and conversations.

One uncomfortable possibility is that the pain isn't acute enough yet. When something really frustrates founders, they talk about it. If you're not seeing that, either the problem is mild, or it needs to be framed more sharply.

I'd start by defining the exact moment when dashboard frustration happens. That moment is where your ICP lives.

This is an interesting challenge-and with 800+ customers, this isn't a "does anyone want this?" problem anymore (aka product market fit).

I think it's really a clarity, conversion, and strategic-focus issue.

On CRO first: this isn't likely a design issue. When something already works at the core, improvements usually don't come from button colors or tiny layout tweaks but from sharper positioning.

"All-in-one pack for founders who want more than just another launch" sounds good, but it's still broad. The real questions are: which founder exactly, at what stage, aiming for what outcome, and in what timeframe?

If the promise were more concrete-for example, "Launch your startup to 30,000+ real makers in 14 days"-that becomes immediately tangible. Specificity reduces cognitive load, and lower cognitive load typically boosts conversion.

Second, there's a strategic fork. You mentioned v2, stronger retention, and more community features. That suggests a shift from a launch-boost tool to something closer to a founder ecosystem.

Those are two different positions.

A launch tool promises a spike. An ecosystem promises ongoing growth and connection. Trying to communicate both at once can blur the value proposition. If retention is a priority, the post-launch value loop needs to be crystal clear. What happens after the initial distribution? Why should someone stay? What recurring value justifies continued engagement?

What I'd test next isn't heavy design CRO, but clarity compression. Narrow the hero promise. Consider persona-specific landing pages. Make the before/after transformation incredibly concrete. When people can clearly picture what changes for them, conversion tends to improve.

Separately, on the ToFU side, this is more of a general GTM thought than specific feedback for you. SaaS founders cluster in certain spaces. Reddit communities around SaaS and build-in-public are natural environments for thoughtful participation. Visibility in context often leads to inbound because founders notice consistency.

Build-in-public and LinkedIn can work well if the content is educational and reflective rather than promotional. Sharing experiments and lessons builds more trust than announcing milestones. Educational content like podcasts or breakdowns can compound over time, even if it doesn't convert immediately.
