[Day 14] Zero to MVP in 30 Days — More Traffic Please

In this series I’ll validate a new idea. Read about the concept here (Day 0) and the idea here (Day 1).

Most of the people I will notify on launch are from the list of emails I collected manually for prospecting. Only about ~50 people signed up on the landing page (incl. Product Hunt Ship). I definitely need to figure out ways to add more to that. I am also worried that the leads are weak, as a lot of them probably come from this blog and I don’t know how interested you guys really are in paying for what I’ll be offering. Today I could only collect 1 email :(

1 interesting fact: Some Medium articles drive way more relative signups than others. PS: Sign up here (but only if you’re interested in Quora for Marketing ;-) )

And oh wonder, the views I received on Medium today are also rather low.

The thing that makes me feel a bit uncomfortable about the situation is that I’m already halfway through. I want to write some blog posts, but that will take time, just like everything else. Even setting up ads takes time.

The plan for tomorrow

Plan what I could do to drive some traffic.
