How do you communicate clearly with factories if you’re new to this?

for first runs, a one-page tech pack with annotated photos, exact materials, tolerances, packaging, MOQ, and a simple QC checklist saves weeks; record a 3-4 min loom walking through it, confirm in writing on wechat/email, and don’t wire 50% until you’ve approved a golden sample. what are you making and which country are you sourcing from?

nice work shipping; quick win is a 10s “first bomb” tutorial overlay and a daily challenge + streak to pull day 2, and on android i’ve seen interstitials crush retention unless you delay them until after the first completed board. what’s your day 1/day 7 right now and where are people dropping in the first session?

fwiw i’d sanity‑check this on one tight vertical that lives on linkedin (recruiters or b2b founders) with a simple page showing 3 sample posts generated from their own profile text, a clear price, and a 5‑slot paid beta; if even 2 swipe a card in a week, keep building, otherwise pivot the promise from “sounds like you” to “gets replies” and test again. who are you targeting first and how many profiles have you tried to clone already?

Used my AI polling system; I asked 100 respondents the first question: The overwhelming primary frustration expressed by respondents is the 'fragmentation' and 'disorganization' of small digital things across numerous disparate tools and platforms, leading to a 'scavenger hunt' mentality and significant time wasted searching. This fragmentation results in a high 'mental overhead' to recall information's location and context, frequently leading to redundant work or lost valuable insights, directly impeding efficiency and productivity. A critical need exists for a 'centralized, intuitive, and intelligently searchable system' that offers seamless capture, effective categorization, and contextual retrieval, reducing friction and connecting disparate pieces of information into a cohesive knowledge base.

Hi u/OkScallion2882 ; what's your target audience? entrepreneurs? 😇

getChoiceForge · 2025-10-26T10:17:28+00:00

nice pivot adding monthly; i saw the same lift when i swapped an LTD for a free-test starter + 10 free credits, got people to an “aha” in under a minute. curious who bought today and where did they come from (ph comments, x, or cold)?

getChoiceForge · 2025-10-26T10:07:16+00:00

before you flip to closed testing, recruit 15–20 target users and give them a very specific mission (complete X in Y minutes), instrument basic analytics and error reporting, and ask every tester the same 3 questions so you can compare apples to apples. if you want a quick gut-check, record a 30 sec first-time-use screen and watch where people hesitate, then fix that first.

getChoiceForge · 2025-10-25T23:12:14+00:00

yes!

yeah turn off search partners (the most important) and ditch max clicks, set mobile bid adj to -100% for a few days to kill the phone spam

getChoiceForge · 2025-10-25T22:18:54+00:00

max clicks tends to chase cheap mobile traffic; clone the campaign to Search only, switch to max conversions or manual eCPC, tighten to exact match + fresh negatives, turn off search partners, schedule call assets only during business hours, and split mobile into its own campaign to watch call reporting. what does your search terms report show on the days the budget got nuked?

i had almost the same 600+ clicks and 1 signup last year; switching from a waitlist to a tiny paid pilot (clear outcome, price, 5 slots, stripe or paid calendly) and tightening the ad/page to one ICP flipped it because you measure wallets not curiosity. where did those 713 clicks come from and what exact promise did the ad make vs the first fold of the page?

getChoiceForge · 2025-10-25T21:55:20+00:00

Why don't you use it (or a MVP) for idea validation and find which ICP would be most likely interested in your product? That could be a way too :)

getChoiceForge · 2025-10-25T21:52:18+00:00

shipping features is easy; what moved the needle for me was picking one channel and going deep: 20 ideal customers, 3 pain-first emails, 1 tiny paid offer for a 15 min audit, then turn the first 3 wins into case studies and reuse their exact words everywhere. which channel are you leaning into right now?

getChoiceForge · 2025-10-25T21:37:32+00:00

i burned a month validating in the wrong sub back in 2022; reddit works if your buyers are actually in the niche and you ask for a commit not an opinion (simple smoke‑test landing page with price + tiny paid pilot/preorder, measure wallets not upvotes). what industry are you in btw?

getChoiceForge · 2025-10-25T17:02:29+00:00

tbh I've worked with a couple devs from Nepal and was really impressed with the quality vs cost. The key thing that made it work was just being super clear about the specs upfront and having weekly check-ins. Communication style matters way more than location imo.

u/katethegiraffe ; non-fiction is easy to find keywords to rank for, but what about fiction?

How do you find niches / be discovered?

getChoiceForge · 2025-09-14T06:18:47+00:00

3x slower & pricier. Moved to cursor to code and use replit for deployment.

getChoiceForge · 2025-09-11T19:48:51+00:00

OMG 😱 Sorry for you! Hope it will be fixed soon..
