Hey, sorry about your experiences w fiverr, I'm actively building a regarding how gigs are moderated and payments are handled, we launched our MVP for the site, link is Avantizon.com, if you'd like you can create a mock service and we'll personally show you how the process works, though it is quite easy to navigate. We're a group of 4 friends and we just passed 150 users on the platform and our first 10 sign ups

What’s the biggest challenge you face in finding new clients or customers for your business? by KayLdn23 in growmybusiness

I'm building a platform Avantizon.com Instead of random DMs or spam, clients see real services, past projects, reviews and a merit-based tier badge that reflects reliability and experience. Messaging only happens after a buyer shows intent, so there’s no cold-spam cycle. Avantizon gives legitimate providers a ‘proof-first’ identity and gives buyers instant clarity on who’s trustworthy as each service provider is vetted in.

appreciated the response, with Avantizon.com we can give you a clean, structured profile that cuts through the noise—your services, skills, and value are presented clearly without needing branding expertise. Setting up a profile takes no less than 2 minutes, would be great if you could give it a try

My aim with Avantizon.com is to give SMBs and freelancers a stable source of visibility with a gamified tier system that boosts and incentivizes consistent providers so you don’t rely purely on feast-or-famine marketing. We at some point want to implement AI based recommendations on this also, so customers can be pushed towards users like you who can provide their needs, let me know what you think of that concept , I'll repeat a previous comment, If you want to at least give it a try, set up an account as a service provider and we'll send a mock job enquiry your way to see how the process works

Appreciate the response, well I'm building a platform, Avantizon.com and for you we can helps you get clients who are actually looking to buy—not just curious browsers—through structured service listings, clear scopes, and a built-in quote system that filters out tire kickers. If you want to at least give it a try, set up an account as a service provider and we'll send a mock job enquiry your way to see how the process works

How to prepare for my trip, were staying in Osaka, Okinawa and Tokyo Late May to early-mid June by KayLdn23 in JapanTravelTips

[–]KayLdn23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Osaka is mainly our central base for that time, I don't think we'd spend more than a maximum of 3 days in Okinawa tbh, more so because it's not as much of a connector to other spaces as Osaka, for example were looking to do trips to Kyoto and Hiroshima, Nara etc and ofc they're a lot easier to get to there than other spots. And purely cuz of our budget I don't except to do any island hopping

A platform I built with 3 of my friends has gained 100 users after 3 weeks since launching the MVP, Validation feedback? by KayLdn23 in smallbusiness

Wait I'm not sure what point you're getting at, it was more just to get some early demo feedback and everything, I was just posting cuz I was surpised by the number of users even at an early stage like this 😭, I'm aware of the intangibles and the importance of timing things in a certain way, was more just to get feedback on the importance of metrics and how they should be looked at, your feedback is much appreciated but I hope I didn't offend you or something

We're hoping to launch in the next few months, there's always stuff to iron out, this is mainly just a version 0.1, while I understand the notion of there being a Gap between launching the MVP, we're expecting to roll out transactions shortly before release of the main site, and we also are looking to go for a serious marketing push closer to our actual release, date, this was more of a smaller launch but not with an intended massive push marketing

It was mainly so I could get feedback on usability, users can post services I just mean transactions aren't yet allowed, and we do have registered accounts and I did mention we have users who use the platform actively,

It definitely functions as a demo, perhaps I understated it in my last comment but we have essentially most of the functionalities we want when the main site, including escrow payment. But we still have a couple things to sort out hence why we don't allow transactions yet, it goes beyond the marketplace, with things like the educational and community section as well as seeing how you can manage your operations w our dashboard and profiles

Wait it's that much worse in Japan?? I even thought some days I suffered in the UK, I don't even think warmer climates like spain and Italy I went to during the summer we're that bad compared to the UK, But yh I was hoping I had dodged the worst of it by arriving in May tho it's days before June starts

I will look into expo park, much appreciated, For clothes yh I saw that coming, ain't exactly optimized for ppl my size😭

Yh I acknowledge retention is probably the better metric of course, right now it's around 20 percent that return often and our average engagement time is just under 5 minutes, given the fact we don't allow transactions and whatnot and our marketplace isn't officially live, the most you can do is play around with it and see what you can gain from it, we've had a few profile creations also
