After sending out so many cold emails, any response is appreciated.

Thank you stranger for the nicest rejection ever 🥲.#buildinpublic

[Ashank & Lucy @ctrl_alt_launch]

@flyingowl_digi thank you!

Jay and I have decided that before we write a SINGLE line of code for our next project, we’re going to:

1. Nail the customer segment
2. Pinpoint the exact problem they're dealing with
3. Secure a paying client

No code until we complete these 3 steps!

Just hit 'send' on another batch of cold emails!

Anyone have a foolproof way to track your cold email performance? #buildinpublic

[Ashank & Lucy @ctrl_alt_launch]

Does cold emailing even work? #buildinpublic

We're shifting gears to focus on our website analytics background and help website owners!

If you own a website, share with us the areas you're looking to enhance on your site. #buildinpublic #indiehackers #Website

@realrichwebb Yup, we want to make sure every feature we invest in is directly solving a customer need

[Ashank & Lucy @ctrl_alt_launch]

@johnhuaexplores How did you achieve growth? Was it through organic marketing?

[Ashank & Lucy @ctrl_alt_launch]

Brace yourselves for this genius move: Instead of building first, we've decided to find customers before we build! 🤯

Who here in #buildinpublic has done this? Any tips?

[Ashank & Lucy @ctrl_alt_launch]

@tpedler Yeah conversion is tough! We faced something similar with https://t.co/lZfguE4jB7. Barrier to entry for joining a mailing list is pretty small, but is very high for actually using/buying the product

[Ashank & Lucy @ctrl_alt_launch]

@marcusglaze Having a rough idea of what the service you’re offering and really focusing on the customer segment you’re targeting.

If there’s a match, the customer would have no choice but to use your product!

[Ashank & Lucy @ctrl_alt_launch]

@SaidAitmbarek We’ll be tweeting the results so stay tuned!!

[Ashank & Lucy @ctrl_alt_launch]

@KevHinh Yup, comes with trial and error

[Ashank & Lucy @ctrl_alt_launch]

@tpedler no, we did an alpha to test and didn't charge anyone for it

[Ashank & Lucy @ctrl_alt_launch]

📢We are sunsetting https://t.co/lZfguE3LLz.📢

The capacity and feature demands created unsustainable technical and financial debt.

Thank you for the support during our first #buildinpublic product. As we reflect on the end of this idea, we're looking into new ones. Stay tuned!

[Ashank & Lucy @ctrl_alt_launch]

@kumailht just launched our alpha for https://t.co/lZfguE3LLz and definitely trying to get more people to try it out! anything you got would be appreciated!

[Ashank & Lucy @ctrl_alt_launch]

@CreateWithEvan gone to this online one a few times, good group @buildshowntell

[Ashank & Lucy @ctrl_alt_launch]

@alexanderqchen Ah that definitely makes more sense, glad I could help bug hunt for you.
