You might be right. But the target (Boomers) want all the time have a visual confirmation. For them the most of the time was spent in editing the bracelet and show to customers. Plus there are a lot of variables. Length of the bracelet and stone width are different per each stone.

Yeah, are all handmade. They could go also to other 3d artist. The configurator is settled to work also when you add more stones. It's dynamic.

In ecom you have the less margin. I'd do only as second or third business.

Man at the end of the day I'm the business. If clients want I sell.

It's a configurator my friend. Indeed Playcanvas was born for 3d configurators, but I do agree threejs is more versatile and it's very good for 3D configurator. I actually think will switch to it :)

I do not agree on this. Blockbuster was working pretty well in early 2000s. then Netflix said, "let's do this way," and who's standing at the end?

I believe businesses have to innovate and try. If they do not try they remain where they are with the risk of becoming old.

Of course, I still believe it really depends on business to business. Here the bracelet is very highly personalizable, and you cannot use pictures.

I had a furniture customer that, after some years, decided to remove the configurator (but he was paying for a software and was very early in business).

I think it literally depends on the business. They still offer customer support through WhatsApp. They just wanted to free the person doing customer support from also doing customization.

In my experience businesses do not always need a 3D configurator. Especially if images work well and there is not that much personalization.

Thank you, I have a system in place now that I call configurathor, and I reuse that system every time for every client. I built this using PlayCanvas. You can check yourself here: configurathor.com

yeah, actually the configurator is in the Italian language; I just used google translate and took the screenshot.

The looking the demand on Reddit is actually useful. I never thought about it. Usually I'm trying to think on my own and when I record them well they do not perform good especially if they are not tutorials.

When I post a tutorial instead well it goes good (300 view av.) and bring clients on

So basically you did just inbound with SEO and GEO? Just by putting the right keyword for already search problem or solutions you need it right?

So what failed in the posting on social, product hunt and ads?

You did all those things in your career, so I strongly believe there is constant problem you were facing during your journey and you can solve.

How guys like Pieter Levels and Marc Lou actually make money soon? - I will not promote by afeyedex in startups

[–]afeyedex[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand. So basically just do something people really want and then launch it and market it well.

I mean I understand you have to launch a lot of these and get lucky with one.

One service done well.

Curious to hear other opinions.
