If a website did this to me they'd also be getting a very angry e-mail and zero recommendations from me.
- cercatrova 5y agoThen you're not the target customer. I hear this often that people, especially on HN, don't like this tactic, but most people don't really care, they'll just shrug and move on.
- nlh 5y agoYup agreed 100%. I see this often as a suggestion for testing your project hypothesis and I think it’s a terrible idea. Starting your relationship with a customer by misrepresenting your state of development is bad advice.
- _3u10 5y agoThey aren’t customers as they haven’t bought anything. Second not spending hundreds of thousands to millions in dev on a product with no market vs having to buy a new domain because your site went viral and you now have millions of bad reviews. (Hint: this never happens) Is great advice. There’s also other ways to do it, my friend was creating a course so I got her to do all the marketing first, set a date six months out and used the proceeds of the first sales to fund development. What I’m trying to get at is to verify sales you need to get people to put their money on the line.
