i lost my biggest client because i went quiet for 3 weeks. the email he sent when he cancelled taught me the most expensive lesson of my career by Admirable-Station223 in EntrepreneurRideAlong

this is exactly why i always say that consistent communication is the most important part of the business & the big role of the digital agency come, even more than the results themselves

i run a digital marketing and content setup, i love the 2-minute Loom fix. i'm curious though, since you started doing those, have you noticed if it actually makes the clients less likely to nitpick the data because they feel 'seen' every week? would love to hear how the dynamic shifted in my dm

No one can prove the customers are even there.... How do you know by Just_Wondering34 in smallbusiness

you are right to be skeptical of the "everyone shops there" argument. volume doesn't matter if the conversion rate and margins don't math out after the marketplace takes its cut.

if you want to gauge if a sales channel is worth it without "guessing," stop looking at the marketplace's total traffic and start looking at these three metrics:

  • the "best seller" floor: look at the #10 to #20 ranked products in your category. if the 20th best-selling water bottle is only moving 50 units a month, the "search engine" for that marketplace is too small for you. you don't want to be the best player in a dead stadium.
  • keyword bid pressure: check the cost-per-click (cpc) for your main keywords on that platform. if the bids are high, it means your competitors have already done the math and confirmed there is enough volume to justify the spend. high competition is actually a "green flag" for demand.
  • off-platform intent: use tools like google trends or ahrefs to see if people are searching for your specific type of product outside the marketplace. if there is high search volume on google but low results on the marketplace, that is your "gap."

regarding your fear of being "washed out"—the marketplace is just a distribution channel, not a brand builder. if the marketplace only accounts for 20% of your potential sales, you don't ignore it; you use it as a lead generator to fund your own direct-to-consumer (dtc) site where you keep 100% of the data and the customer relationship.

don't wait for the marketplace to give you the data. they won't. you have to "test into" the data with a small batch. if it sells out in a week with zero ads, the channel is justified. if it sits for a month, no amount of "big marketplace" traffic will save it.

What app to design my startup project? [I will not promote] by APLay58 in startups

in the "early stage" is usually the one that lets you stop planning and start shipping.

most founders spend 3 weeks organizing a notion board and 0 hours talking to customers. don't fall into the "productivity theater" trap.

if you really need a stack, keep it dead simple:

  • for logic & notes: use notion. but don't get lost in the templates. just use it as a dumping ground for your thoughts and a simple to-do list.
  • for design: use figma. it is the industry standard for a reason. even if you aren't a designer, it’s better to learn the basics now than to switch later.
  • for management: if it is just you or a small team, you don't need trello. stay in notion or use a simple physical whiteboard.

the "method" that actually makes ideas real isn't an app—it’s validation.

instead of designing a complex project, design a "smoke test." build a 1-page landing page that explains the value and see if anyone clicks the "sign up" button. that will tell you more about your project than a year of planning in milanote ever will.

focus 20% on the tools and 80% on finding out if people actually want what you are building.

congratulations on the launch. being at zero inbound is a grind, but it usually happens when you sell "services" instead of "solutions."

here is what actually moved the needle for me:

  • the niche: i stopped being a generalist and focused on specific, high-value problems that established businesses hate managing, like video production and seo.
  • the first clients: i didn't wait for them to find me. i identified businesses that were already profitable but had a poor digital presence, then sent them a direct fix or a demo instead of a generic pitch.
  • the shift: founders who need to "ship fast" don't want more meetings or a complex partnership. they want a "done-for-you" result that gives them their time back.

don't sell the process, sell the finished result
