exactly. the Rs 1 isn't a discount. it's permission to participate.

once someone places that first bid, the auction has momentum. nobody had to "go first" on a real price.

[Muhammad Samee baig @BaigSamee]

live auctions starting at Rs 1.

people bid just because it's 1 rupee. before you know it, 3 people are in a bidding war over vintage sneakers.

chaos is a feature when you're building a marketplace.

that's when you know the product is starting to click. when someone who's never sold anything before can open the app and make money on their first try

a 17 year old went live on our app yesterday. sold 2 shirts. and then a buyer liked the stream so much they sent him extra money as a gift 😭

[Muhammad Samee baig @BaigSamee]

we're building live commerce in Pakistan. 46 orders since November. 4M+ views. most sellers never show their face, just hands and voice

and somehow a 17 year old made it work without anyone telling him how

[Muhammad Samee baig @BaigSamee]

shocked, laughing, frustrated, all at the same time.

46 minutes. zero real orders.

but 54 people showed up to watch strangers auction products live in Pakistan. the demand was real. the trolls just got there first.

back to building

[Muhammad Samee baig @BaigSamee]

54 viewers showed up to our content team's first live stream on OnScene. we expected 20.

we've had 46 real orders since November. this wasn't day one. but we hired a team to go live daily to solve the cold start problem. yesterday was their first session.

[Muhammad Samee baig @BaigSamee]

10-12 auctions ran. every single one won by a real person who immediately cancelled.

we kicked a guy named Shafin from the stream. next auction, winner is "master something." we're relieved. then a chat message pops up:

"i'm shafin"

[Muhammad Samee baig @BaigSamee]

bought thrift shoes. hired a team of kids. they go live 5x a day selling inventory so new buyers never land on an empty app.

the cold start problem doesn't solve itself. you solve it manually.

[Muhammad Samee baig @BaigSamee]

87% of sellers who signed up never went live. they froze.

so we built a private practice room where you can rehearse with zero audience watching.

you don't force people into uncomfortable. you remove the fear first.

[Muhammad Samee baig @BaigSamee]

3 orders in 25 minutes

seller never showed their face once

just hands holding the product, fabric closeups, and voice answering the chat live

we're building live commerce in Pakistan and turns out it doesn't need an influencer face

product + voice. that's the whole format

[Muhammad Samee baig @BaigSamee]

4M+ views. 700 sellers signed up, full KYC done, but only 90 ever went live. 11 closed a real sale.

building live commerce in Pakistan and demand was never the scary part. the wall is getting someone to go live on camera and sell to strangers.

figured out why. fixing it now 😉

@GooglePlayDev rejected my app for “not enough tester engagement.”

Excuse me?? My app is already approved on the App Store. Who are you to decide if my app is “production ready”?

You just delayed my launch by 2 weeks for this BS. Absolutely brutal for indie devs
