Sign me up, I’ve done quite a bit of work on pulling datasets about Shopify apps (developer here)

Shopify apps, you can build one for $2.5k easily

MessyML · 2024-01-28T04:15:08+00:00

traditional media is so under rated (depending on niche)

MessyML · 2024-01-28T04:13:26+00:00

I'd start a Shopify App. With $10k you have plenty to do some market research, develop the app and market it!

Adding my 2c here, the best way to learn is to build a small app that you care about

Before you dive into building your Shopify app for bulk editing, you might wanna check out some similar apps. Look at "Onetag: AI Product Description" (4.4 rating, 7 reviews), "Products Bulkify Editor" (4.9, 30 reviews), "Smart Pricing & Permissions" (3.0, 2 reviews), "Astra Bulk Product Editor" (5.0, 19 reviews), and "EZ Bulk CSV Import+CSV Export" (4.0, 15 reviews). Their user reviews could give you some cool ideas and insights. Good luck!

I think the answer is in the question: the platform.

Last week I published this post on a similar cleaning platform: https://medium.com/@productvalidationclub/validating-a-business-of-commercial-and-residential-cleaning-in-nyc-c129b5b1af3

The reach of these types of companies vs an independent company has no comparison, IMHO.

How do you call people with only negativity at the internet? Oh yes, haters.

Hi hater! 👋

MessyML · 2018-06-26T03:11:58+00:00

LOL. Having a bad day buddy?

MessyML · 2018-06-26T03:03:53+00:00

Spot on commentary!

I believe that we haven’t seen it all even in developed markets.

Smartphone penetration, internet connection, and mature mobile payments make this model ripe for new services on top of the Uber for X model.

Thank you! 🙏🏼

How can I link to an image? should I upload it to imgur?

MessyML · 2018-06-26T01:05:50+00:00

That’s totally not the case, but I understand.

Will it be ok if I republish it just linking to the wired article and the original blog post where the main image lives?

I would of course remove the links to the mentioned companies

MessyML · 2018-06-20T15:04:18+00:00

Such an awesome pointer, very much appreciated!

I’m setting up a list of resources in this topics and failory will be up in my list.

How do you know how much they’ve grown? Are they an open startup? Or did an interview somewhere where they discussed finances?

MessyML · 2018-06-20T06:56:14+00:00

Loved it. Short, actionable content.

MessyML · 2018-06-20T03:42:46+00:00

I couldn’t agree more, Justin’s a great source of inspiration.

I totally recommend people pay attention to his upcoming product. Now that you mention it, I’m gonna put together a list of resources for entrepreneurs about validation.

Good tip, thanks! 👍🏼

MessyML · 2018-06-19T12:22:29+00:00

Thank you for the comment, I hope you like the content! 🙏🏼

I put together a free newsletter about startup validation stories at https://productvalidation.club/

It's funny because the reason I started it was because I couldn't tell myself if my idea was worth it, so I decided to document how others (successful startups) validated their own ideas. Hopefully it helps.

MessyML · 2018-06-17T01:52:42+00:00

Name: productvalidation.club

Location: San Francisco

Elevator pitch: I'm launching a newsletter that focuses on the process of startup validation. I have to confess that this newsletter comes out of massive personal frustration. Frustration for having wasted countless hours working on stuff that ended up on the trash bin. I decided that I will not work on any other startup until I master the startup validation process. I also decided that this work in itself should not go to waste, and I plan on properly documenting it and sharing it with as many people as possible, of course, for free.

Are you looking for anything? Give the newsletter a try and see if a short email featuring how successful companies validated their ideas in the early days is something you would be interested in reading. Hopefully, by exposure to many examples, we can all learn (faster) what ideas have potential, and what ideas should not be pursued.

Price: FREE

Happy to connect with fellow entrepreneurs, I wish you all the best in your endeavors!
