As we anticipate the launch of our marketplace for sign-ups on July 17th, I'm learning the various different tasks we must own and be responsible for as a team. All things considered, I think being able to design at a high level would be extremely valuable. Also, my knowledgebase of funding is one i'm actively working on as I wrap my head around that world

Marketing. You can make the greatest product ever, but if no one knows, no one will use it.
I am great at coding, but lack in marketing. I wish it was the other way around, since in my opinion, it is easier to learn to code than to market.

Our belief is we will not have as much of a problem with demand compared to our supply side but will require intentional nurturing
Doing this nurturing for growth with organic and paid strategies.
-Paid: Nano influencer marketing
Organic:
TikTok and benefiting from personalized recommendation algorithm
Leveraging/Hacking Audiences of other platforms
Word of mouth
Product-driven growth such as shared links
Any other suggestions?
@divine_rivers1 love that you actually said nano influencer marketing! I think we should talk. I’m launching a nano-influencer marketing platform. We can talk if interested. I’ll send you a connect on LinkedIn
Definitely Marketing and writing, I am a more technical person so I'm better at coding and building things but I think I'm still pretty bad at marketing, it's definitely a skill everyone needs and I am still working on it!
@divine_rivers1 I've been experimenting with twitter, trying to grow my connections, and watching lots of videos, also analyzing tiktok videos of the niche I want to get into what works what doesn't. Yea definitely especially since as of now I am a one man team, but hoping to find a reliable co founder in the future!
@matthew_ong369 Yes, how are you going about improving? The thing about being a Founder, especially for the first time s that there are a lot of learning responsibilities that you must fully own early on.
