Good question. There are a lot of options that help with quick page/site/landing page building, it's a busy space, eg webflow. In short: I don't use 'plug-n-play' web/page' builders for 'production' as they are limited to their eco-system and everything is an extra and costs ongoing $. I like them to quickly mock up or visualise ideas and browse templates. But as I eluded to earlier, I use...

Hi Everyone, I'm I've been part of PH for a few months now 1) Dave Bain 2) A founder of a fintech (dcypher.co rebranding to kongtrade.com). We're building an intelligent, comm-free trading app for everyday people that supports stocks and crypto 3) I have a lot of general knowledge from sales/marketing, legal, customer management, building and growing businesses, tech, coding...

Hey @jaume_ros2 Really useful video, certainly timely for me as I'm constructing a new website and we are busy writing a bunch of blogs!

No code is great if you have something simple or very standard that you need to mock up quickly. I often use webflow to find or create new web page layouts quickly, however I would never build my real website here, and I think this would apply across many - 1) not customisable enough (DB options etc) 2) cost creep, lets face it if you're here you really care about cost 3) you are stuck in that...

Gearing up to release a better trading app for stocks and crypto. It uses tonnes of data and analytics to buy the dip and sell at the top (not just another place to submit orders). Coming soon...

Brave because reflects the personality you need to build a start-up 🤣 Seriously, it's very private, fast and an eye opener not using Google search

I'm a big fan of Many Pixels. Started using the free illustrations and quickly moved to the paid service so that we could craft unique images that convey our message - service is fantastic, very responsive and so far great value for money.

You absolutely have to. I find this an incredibly important metric as you work towards product fit and understanding your customers, not something to be afraid of. Balance this with engagement rate.

Really timely and useful. I've been learning Flutter recently and this is one very large gap/opportuntity in the market. Cant wait to try it!

I've been in tech B2B sales (eg. AWS) for a long time and recently transitioned into the startup world where I have had to relearn selling, or more so digital marketing. There are similarities, yet large differences like social media, it's not been part of my life til recently :) Here are some learning's; 1) No one wants to be sold to. They want to be educated or helped, so for me the DM and...

Certainly reflect my personal journey. Yet rarely will you see this discussed publicly by founders.

Great stuff. What channel(s) did you decide to experiment with to drum up awareness and interest?

Looks great! Definitely what I've been looking for...

The biggest lesson that I've learnt is that only you know who your customers are and how to reach them. This means that what works for one person has no bearing on whether it will work for you. Start with a plan and more importantly sequence (order); ASO 1st, then SEO etc. Tackling one channel at a time allows you to determine how effective it is and whether your message is working (it will...

3+ months & counting. Go down to the beach in the morning for a surf or swim https://twitter.com/DaveBain_au/status/1440823670864179203

A big lesson I've learnt, is PMF is very dependent on 1) how well you understand the problem you're solving and 2) who you're solving it for and their feedback. 1. is about whether you're already an expert in that field, or not 2. is whether you have an audience, or need to build one. This is an ask so there first needs to be a lot of credibility for the audience to respond.

It certainly hit mainstream media this year, although I think we are only on the cusp of things to come

Well done guys, great to see another Fishburners launch!

Really interesting. Is this designed for creative people or is it also suitable for non-creative people?

Truly understanding the customers' needs and aligning the product to fit.
