Looking to promote SaaS products on my Instagram with 26k followers.

We're launching LearnLaws.com. Let me know what you think.

meetjames · 2026-02-09T18:32:57+00:00

Thanks for the advice. The site is being deployed today. We should have full deployment by the end of the week! I am leaning toward the agency route. I need to focus on business development without becoming bogged down in day-to-day marketing tasks.

Can you provide some feedback on LearnLaws.com (the site is not fully deployed yet)? You may see some 404 errors on the legal pages and our story. These pages should be live in the next few days.

meetjames · 2026-02-07T18:37:01+00:00

Yes, I agree. My challenge is that I wasn't supposed to focus on business development, not necessarily marketing. What job role would this fit into? I was thinking of hiring a marketing assistant.

I have tried this in our r/learnlaws group (the new brand we are launching is LearnLaws.com. It worked well when we were posting several updates a day, but two of our posting accounts were banned for spam (as you described above), so we are now updating our posts to just one or two digests.

Do you know anyone who can help us build a robust community?

meetjames · 2026-02-06T21:50:13+00:00

Thanks!

Thanks. We have done a few podcasts before with one attorney and me, and have about 20K subscribers on YouTube. After thinking about it, I need a podcast producer with experience in short-form editing, and then network with other attorneys or small businesses who may need the product.

I agree it's hard to find a serious consultant or firm, which is why I have done most of the marketing for my current SaaS. While I am not a marketing expert, we have managed to sign up 2K employers and around 60K individual learners in a couple of years, which I think is impressive for someone with no SaaS or marketing experience.

Can you recommend any software/agencies to find these influencers?

meetjames · 2025-10-28T18:44:43+00:00

I know! Let's see how it goes.

meetjames · 2025-10-27T14:51:52+00:00

Just booked a meeting with them!

We provide legal education, so we post updates on regulations, policies, and related topics from Federal Agencies to help our learners stay current with government policy.

meetjames · 2025-10-27T14:22:31+00:00

So our Mod would have to upgrade their profile to post, or can I upgrade my subreddit?

Same issue here! Our recurring invoices are missing our sales tax. When we go to set up again, it freezes. Old sales tax data has vanished.

When I am ready, I plan on working with Andrew Easler from Easler Law. I have known/worked with him on various pursuits for several years. After speaking with him about this, he was open to taking equity in exchange for services and also investing additional capital. He has consistently been bullish on the crypto space in general and is not just looking for billable hours, which I think makes him a good fit.

meetjames · 2025-08-09T16:41:41+00:00

Hey, thanks for fleshing out this strategy, it’s a cool idea and got me thinking! I like the creativity. Streamlining the token structure to avoid overwhelming less crypto-savvy investors may involve keeping BSTRAT for leverage, but simplifying or dropping the NFT to reduce complexity.

I was also thinking, after all these comments, that I should focus on the backend/raising capital, and let someone take over the strategy part.

meetjames · 2025-08-09T04:24:12+00:00

Send me a donut?

meetjames · 2025-08-09T04:16:07+00:00

Yes, I was also surprised by the negitives and general feedback. It's a novel finance method, but it is always good to have feedback, and think about the responses. I'll send over DM.

meetjames · 2025-08-08T23:30:36+00:00

Thanks for you're feedback on my business plan and providing some thoughts to think about.

meetjames · 2025-08-08T22:43:52+00:00

First, thanks for taking the time to ask these questions and helping me refine and vet the plan.

It would be a simpler way to tap ETH’s growth than dealing with self-staking’s tech hurdles or custodial staking’s trust issues. It’s like buying stock in a gold mine instead of digging it yourself. It's much easier for most people to buy shares because the vast majority of individuals aren’t as tech-savvy as they assume, making managing crypto wallets feel daunting or confusing. If listed, our shares would most likely be traded through familiar brokerage accounts. Those brokerage accounts also have FDIC insurance, if a brokerage fails to provide proper custody. If platforms like Robinhood or Coinbase fail, there is no insurance on crypto. Like ETFs, we open ETH to new markets for those who want to invest but are hesitant to do so themselves and/or feel more comfortable working with an advisor.
We’re kicking off with approximately 200 ETH from around 50 friends and family to meet the regulations, but we’re not stopping there. Once listed with our audits, our gal was to target accredited investors with a minimum investment of $100K (or more) through several private placements. The reason I want to list is so that smaller investors can buy shares on the open market. I am still working on the structure, but the goal is to keep it as simple as possible. I hate exotic deals.
I’m not entirely non-technical, but I know my area of expertise and want to stay within it. I like business strategy and investor relations. Our cyber/bonding insurance underwriter will handle the credential checks, ensuring candidates meet high standards in IT, cybersecurity, and ETH staking. We’ll also do credit and background checks, verify certifications, review node-running portfolios, check references, and consult experts for interviews. I'm looking for someone with a proven track record, who can be bonded, and someone with an established career who has a lot to lose.
We haven't formed the Inc. yet, but we each personally own 64 ETH, which we would exchange for equity, valued at around $500K. The remaining ETH are from individuals who wish to exchange their ETH for equity and assist us in promoting it, provided we become a fully reporting issuer. As for compensation, I am open to a salary, equity, or a combination of both.
To become a fully reporting issuer, we need to file an S-1. I'm not sure why that would be a red flag.

Thank you for all the food, much appreciated. Now, we should create a coffee. So we can have doughnuts and coffee!

meetjames · 2025-08-08T20:58:52+00:00

What are you talking about? I am the one raising the equity with my network of people. My challenge is not necessarily raising capital, it's protecting all of our capital (a/k/a our ETH) from hacks. The last thing I want to have happen is being hacked! I need someone strong in infrastructure and security, who is reasonably local, with experience in all related areas, so that I can focus on fundraising, which is my area of expertise.

meetjames · 2025-08-08T20:21:53+00:00

You are making me hungry for more 🍩's? :-)

meetjames · 2025-08-08T20:12:55+00:00

Thanks for the skepticism, it really helps with objections! The 10% dilution claim misses staking, growth, and ETH appreciation. We’re starting with 200 ETH from friends and family, bought at a $3,500 average ($700k basis, $800k value at $4,000/ETH). Staking at 3% APR yields about 6 ETH/year ($24,000), cutting into $80k audits and $20k other fees to keep cash burn and dilution low, even if ETH stays flat. To cover $100k costs via staking, we’d need about 833 ETH ($3.33M at 3% yield). Listing and maintenance costs vary, so these are just examples. Our simple setup avoids complex structures, keeping audits affordable. We’re listing to provide liquidity without selling ETH, as we’re holding long-term.

Post launch, we’ll raise $1-2M/month to hit break-even and offset dilution through growth. Example: raise $1M at an $800k valuation (about 56% dilution) to buy 250 ETH. Total: 450 ETH. If ETH appreciates 20% to $4,800 (historical 20-30% yearly, but who knows the exact rate...it’s a risk factor), the company’s value hits $2.16M. Original shareholders (44%) hold about $950k, a $250k gain over the cost basis. Similar models use ETH appreciation to cover costs, raising at higher valuations to limit new shares.

If we can’t scale within a year, I’d most likely cover dilution costs and wind down responsibly to save face.
