An entirely obvious thing, though it wasn’t so obvious to me at first, is this: I used to come up with design briefs for designers on the fly. But I eventually realized that this approach often leads to frequent redesigns. Now, I take a different approach: interface design planning. This involves mapping out the entire user interaction with the product from start to finish. I then align it with the technical capabilities and only after that hand it over to the designer.

At this stage, I also consider potential user issues and try to address them before they arise. While this approach is more expensive at the beginning, it saves significant time and resources later, as there’s no need for multiple redesigns.

Launching projects in trending or established markets.

There is one category of projects I prefer to work on—those based on a trend.

The alternative is to create projects in industries that have been operating and established for a long time.

The difference lies in the fact that doing the same actions in one niche or the other yields ten times more results in a trending niche.

Moreover, mistakes in product creation are more easily forgiven because you’re operating in a market where there are hardly any competitors yet. It’s much easier, faster, and more enjoyable.

I like modern, trending industries, and I plan to work in them.

How to launch a project in an industry you don’t understand anything about?

I think there are two methods.

The first is to figure it out yourself.

And the second is to attract a consultant or some experienced person to help for money and also teach my employees.

Well, of course, you can find a partner who has experience in this topic, but that’s also a completely different story

I recently heard an opinion that a startup founder should not outsource marketing, product, and sales.

I tend to agree. because it's the core of the business, especially Saas.

Which is better, to develop an MVP and include all future features or to start with just one? Provided that all features have equal priority.

I think it's best to consider just one JTBD

Long time no see!

Remember when I had a marathon where I had to achieve $300 in profit from scratch in three months on browser extensions?

Well, I failed that goal. But after 3 months, I managed to make one product and sell it for $9000 to one of my competitors in 30 days. That was pretty awesome! It was the most satisfying money I've ever made, even though it wasn't a lot of money.

I just remembered my Twitter today and still decided to share this news.

And at the moment I am working on a new bigger startup and you are at the very beginning.

Maybe I'll have some inspiration to tell you about it!

Day 90/90

so, today my marathon ended, within the framework of which I had to launch a project from scratch for $ 300 in revenue per month. I have not been able to achieve this. but I launched 5 products, one of which brought the first 2 payments. I think I did a good job, but I had to launch more products and work even more actively. now I plan to hire a project manager to speed up the pace and increase the number of launches.

continue to actively seek ideas for future products.

I have already started to draw up regulations and instructions on how to search for and filter ideas

Paid traffic did not show any result and there was not a single payment. i will leave this product and move on to others.

All that's left is to set up authorization and you should be all set.

@theandreboso These are 2 separate worlds.
Coders live in the first.
Entrepreneurs live in the second.

day 63/90

The modified extension has been sent for moderation and I will try running ads again to get paid

there's less and less time

people's activity in the expansion was analyzed today. 45% of people have done 1 summary. 14% have done 5 or more. lots of rejections for various reasons, exploring further.
