Hey. I'd like to re-iterate that I think you're doing a great job, something which I and many others don't have the skills or the talent for. But yeah, it sure looks like you are selling something. Not in the "act now, buy this" sense, but still.
Please understand that I'm not putting you down, on the contrary.
With all the specifics you provided, this is still a very non-specific article. It's a beautifully written description of a technique that provides a lot of detail and yet gives very little away that could actually be used to learn something off you. And again, that's perfectly OK.
I absolutely agree with you about engineer types, and I'll be the first to admit I'm a prime example of that group. In between those two extremes, there is a spectrum of course.
> My goal was to try to make a case for building a very simple product for a very specific pain point, get customers who have this pain and want it solved as quickly as possible, and then (possibly) add complexity and scope from there.
I'm not sure I agree about the pain point being the most important thing in that strategy, but that may be because after reading the article I still lack the information to judge what it actually is you solved.
I ended up building a WordPress plugin, but what I built and how I built it is
immaterial here.
- andyakb 12y agoWhat other specifics could he have included? He showed his methodology in finding a problem, the way he found customers [including the copy in his ad], how he structured a email course, and the final product. The only other thing he could have included would have been the copy he used in the email course. This blog lays out a very clear framework you can operate within, so I dont really understand where you are coming from.
