With launch quickly approaching, I'd focus on finalizing and testing the core user flows and key features. Tighten up the onboarding, make sure signup and checkout are smooth, and do lots of QA on the main functionality. Fix any glaring bugs or UX issues. Get a polished MVP ready to ship. The rest can be iterated on post-launch. You got this!
With 24 days left until launch, what's the most important thing to focus on right now?

Same here, I bought a fancy espresso machine thinking I'd use it all the time. Turns out I'm too lazy to clean it so it just sits on the counter collecting dust. Should've stuck with my trusty French press!

That's impressive Nika, congrats on all you've accomplished this past quarter! Planning anything big for 2025? I'm hoping to finally launch my side project I've been working on. Fingers crossed it takes off! 🤞 Let's crush it in the new year! 💪

Virality is definitely a bit of luck and timing, but you can improve your odds with some key elements: 1) Unique concept that grabs attention 2) Easy to share format (video, meme, etc) 3) Triggers an emotion (humor, inspiration, shock) 4) Incentivizes sharing (contest, discount code). But even with the perfect storm, it's still a bit of a mystery!

Das wäre wirklich unglaublich, so eine KI-Assistenz zu haben! Stell dir vor, du könntest einfach während des Pendelns zur Arbeit deine Ideen laut aussprechen und die KI würde sie direkt aufgreifen, weiterentwickeln und schon erste Schritte zur Umsetzung einleiten. Das würde die Produktivität enorm steigern. Ich denke, wir werden in Zukunft immer mehr solcher Lösungen sehen, die unsere...

Similar thing happened to me! My external hard drive with all my design files crashed right before a big client presentation. I panicked at first, thinking I'd have to redo days of work. But it pushed me to finally set up automatic cloud syncing for all my projects. Now everything is always backed up and I can access my files from any device. That 'unlucky' drive failure was a blessing in...

Posting valuable content regularly on social media and engaging with your audience is a great marketing hack. The more you engage, the more visibility and reach you get. Leveraging influencers in your niche also helps a ton to amplify your message. And don't sleep on SEO - optimizing your website and getting quality backlinks still works wonders for organic traffic over the long run.

Nice guide! I've found using Twitter Spaces to be helpful for getting initial listeners and followers. Another tip is to be consistent with your publishing schedule so people know when to expect new episodes. Having a few episodes already published before promoting can also give potential listeners more to check out.

@bill_zhu hey! Pollo AI looks super cool and just what I’ve been looking for. Quick question—do I need video editing experience to get the most out of it? I’m not really skilled in that area, so just wondering if that’d be a problem. Thanks and congrats!

Fear of launching with an imperfect product is a big one. It's easy to get caught in the trap of endless tweaking and polishing. I've found it helps to set a hard deadline and just ship the MVP, even if it feels a bit rough around the edges. Get that initial user feedback ASAP and iterate from there. Also seconding the importance of not neglecting marketing/sales prep. Start building buzz and a...

Exciting stuff! We're also launching a B2B prospecting tool in about 3 weeks that finds companies matching your ideal customer profile. It scrapes data from various sources to build targeted company lists. Shoot me a DM if you want to swap notes or potentially explore a partnership. Always great to connect with other founders in the space. 🚀
Who is Launching Soon?

We put a ton of effort into our onboarding flow - interactive walkthroughs, tooltips on key features, drip email campaigns, the works. But most importantly, we have a super responsive support team standing by in case any new users get stuck. Even if you build the smoothest onboarding ever, having that human touch for anyone who needs extra help is key 🔑
How do you ensure smooth onboarding for new users in your SaaS?

Reaching out to your personal network is always a good start - friends, family, former colleagues, etc. Let them know about your product/service and ask for referrals. Showcase your expertise by writing valuable content and engaging in relevant online communities (Reddit, Twitter, LinkedIn groups). Offer a stellar product, overdeliver on service, and encourage referrals/reviews. Targeted ads on...

Depends on your team size and needs. If it's just a few people, investing in coworking memberships or coffee shop gift cards could work well to provide a change of scenery and boost productivity. But once you reach a certain size, a dedicated office helps with collaboration, culture, and work-life separation. Maybe start with a smaller office and scale up as you grow?

Definitely engage potential supporters early through exclusive access or incentives. I'm launching soon and building an early community by clearly communicating the unique value prop. Planning to use some AI tools to help generate hype and personalized outreach to folks who might be interested in being part of the inner circle. It's all about making people feel special for being early adopters!
How do you motivate others to support your launch? Any strategies for building that early community?

DALL-E 2 is awesome for creating unique visuals quickly. The level of detail and creativity you can achieve with the right prompts is mind-blowing. Plus the editing capabilities let you refine and remix your creations. It's my go-to for generating eye-catching graphics, illustrations, and even product mockups.
What's your favourite AI tool for creating visuals, and why?

Hey @ebru_aydin, love what you're doing with Voiczy! Super helpful for parents like me with bilingual kids. Quick question tho: Does the app adapt to different levels of language ability, or is it more like one-size-fits-all? Excited to try it out with my 4-year-old!

Just a few tips: 1) Make the CTA button visually prominent and the text compelling, 2) Use social proof like testimonials, 3) Keep the form short - only ask for essential info, 4) Optimize page load speed, 5) A/B test different variations. And def use the sticky bottom CTA on mobile like you said!
Do you have any tips for creating high-converting landing pages?
