Let's help each other if we can! πŸš€ Some of you may be launching on your own. Some may have a small team, and others - many helping hands. Our struggles may be the same or totally different. We may have a lot of the same skills or vast variety of them, and more or less experience. The idea of the community and networking is to watch, learn, ask, offer, share and support each other. So let's do it! Tell us what kind of help you need right now and let's see if some of us can offer some insights, free tools, resources, referrals etc.πŸ’πŸ«‘ I will kick it off with : My #1 struggle right now is getting in touch with some creators, coaches and educators who do a lot of screen recording on a regular basis. They have to be 1. Windows users, 2. Posting their videos on Youtube, Twitter, LinkedIn or other platforms, 3. Willing to join www.canvid.com closed Beta group (Free) 4. Test and provide us with honest feedback. Thanks in advance πŸ™

@ayah_siddiqi Welcome to the Product Hunt family! πŸ™‚I totally understand that it can be quite overwhelming seeing the amount of products and solutions available. I think it's always worth reading product reviews, looking at the pricing, ease of use and the overall value of the product. Knowing your exact pain points and the key features required definitely helps too. Ask the community as well by starting a discussion in our forum like we are doing now :-). We're here to help! Thank you so much for offering to test Canvid! It's much appreciated πŸ™. Please feel free to join the waitlist on our website. Thank you :-)

Much support Simona! I don't know anybody in that field... but my #1 struggle right now is similar: getting in touch with recruiters and hiring teams. Good luck with that!

@alvarovillalb_ Ah I see. Pity I can't help as I have no Spanish connections in recruitment industry ☹️Will keep it mind though if I come across someone useful for you .

@simona_o_neill3 just in Spain! It seems much easier to get feedback from international people (:

Simona, my biggest challenge is finding the right balance between feature development and user acquisition for my SaaS product. I'm currently seeking growth hacking strategies that align with a bootstrapped budget and would greatly appreciate any insights or resources on this.

@cen_xu Totally! It ain’t easy. Is your product out yet? Are the key features already implemented? Are the additional features necessary right now ? Do you know your ICP (ideal customer profile)? Where do they network? Is it a B2B or B2C product?

Simona, I'll reach out to some Windows-using screen content creators who might be interested in joining Canvid's closed beta and provide that crucial feedback. Additionally, have you tried connecting with digital education forums or e-learning groups on social media where screen recording is a common topic?

@sophiawms Great idea thank you πŸ™πŸ»

Simona, I'll spread the word among my network of content creators who fit your criteria and are keen on exploring new tools. Also, I'll suggest checking out online communities dedicated to Windows power users, as they might be a good fit for your closed Beta at Canvid.

@sophiawms thanks so much πŸ€—! I really appreciate it. I’ve joined a number of communities on Reddit but don’t want to ask them to join the waitlist yet until our tool is actually ready for testing. I find that Reddit has to be treated slightly differently than any other community. 😊

The biggest struggle I have right now is to promote my app and get real feedback on what can be improved.

Hello Simona Some feedback : try and create a social media group as well apart from a closed email group. Allows for organic growth. Perhaps a discord channel.

@access24 Cool :-) I just did a quick search and found over 3000 reviews from people using that WordPress plug in. Not sure if you already looked into it, but if not I would advise you to go through that list and get in touch with those people because they are using WooCommerce. https://wordpress.org/plugins/wo...
