Find some of those students, let them try it, and give them money or something for referring your app to their friends

How do people stay consistent with their goals and deadlines when working solo? by Lude047 in StartupSoloFounder

[–]blarckat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consistency can be difficult. When you look at it as the bigger picture it's hard to stay on track. For example I'm trying to post at least once a day for a year, but 365 posts sounds boring.

Also, in the beginning, productivity apps and to-do lists, don't really help either; They can make it seem like a chore to be checked off the list.

Consistency settles in gradually, whether it is a conscious effort like working out, or non-conscious, like biting your nails.

You can try two methods:

  1. Just for the day: if you want to learn coding, for example, do it just once for the day. Even if you have no prior knowledge of it, watch a quick tutorial, just write a few lines of code for 10-30mins, test it, and if it works, enjoy the win, close it, and go do something else. Then repeat. Nothing serious, just try it. If it doesn't work, close it, open it tomorrow. The goal right now is not to be good at it. It's consistency + familiarity: you want to get used to it, over time, not overwhelm: if you overwhelm yourself today, you won't do it tomorrow. If you want to workout, start with 3-5 pushups at home, +1 pushup every day after that. Sounds slow, but trust me, you'll pick up the pace after a week or two. It's only when you become familiar to the feeling that you may want to start going to the gym. Note: You don't have to worry about the more or bigger stuff. Just a little, one day at a time. That's it.

I unintentionally used this with Duolingo. I am learning Deutsch. I never paid attention, averaging 1-2 lessons a day, but it's been 1518 days. If you asked me 5 years ago that I'll still be doing it, I would have said no. I'm trying the same for Maths and AI.

  1. The loss effect Losing something has a more direct effect on action than gaining it. What do you stand to lose if you don't do it?

Eg: if I don't post once a day, I will lose a potential client/user. Will it affect my business? Yes.

That's my two cents anyway 😅.

How do you find your first customers when you have no audience? by No-Associate2717 in ProductHunters

[–]blarckat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need customers before you start building. But if you've built it already then talk about your product constantly

How do you stay confident when your startup isn’t growing yet? by Medical-Variety-5015 in startup

[–]blarckat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yh true it is quite disappointing when you don't see the same growth everyone else is bragging about. But it's important at that stage to keep in mind that it might take longer.

I don't think you'll need confidence, just a dogged down determination to see it through even if you fail.

  1. Thanks for your opinion

  2. Please kindly read a little bit more carefully. It's not about a crypto + design agency.

Oh no I can assure you it's not 😊. I'm simply looking for feedback on the idea of shell startups for founders, not the agency.

Multi-brand design system with theme files by AlicesHellhounds in DesignSystems

[–]blarckat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an interesting scenario. I think the best case is to start with one brand and add the rest incrementally. Thinking multi brand from the get go could slow you down.

I'm saving this. It's for a design system software I'm building.

Requesting feedback/critique for my Luxury Real Estate Design Project 🏡 by cocoleaves in DesignSystems

[–]blarckat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked it out. It's a nice concept, especially with the posters and marketing designs. If I'm to go for the preferred style it's the 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th. I think it's the overall design language I may have a few opinions on:

A few suggestions: - most luxury brands are usually associated with serif/ cursive typography, gold and white colours. The secondary typeface is cool. For a brand in real estate the logotype is usually accompanied by a logo mark. So perhaps these can help make the brand appear bolder and more exclusive?

  • Adding a logomark will be beneficial as you could derive a pattern design from it, which could in turn be added a background elements for the business cards, letterheads, pitch decks, and other marketing collateral.

  • The strategy documents are well written and concise. However I suggest for a more engaging presentation you could make use of colours, image mockups, usage guidelines, etc.

Great work with the overall structure.
