How to ask the right questions to your potential customers?
Hello There 👋🏻
This is my first post here, thanks @sergio for this amazing community 🎉🤗
I decided to start building a productivity app about daily tracking of your goals, building positive habits and getting rid of bad ones. I figured I might do some initial design mockups to put in the landing page and run an early access program and have users enter their emails and then continue to roll out features of the app for them to work with and test until I have a fully working app for public launch.
Now as someone who have never done marketing, what do you advise me (and other newbies like me) to do? What are some practical tips/resources/books… you might recommend to start talking to customers, etc?
Thanks a lot! 🤗❤️
One resource that often gets mentioned (although I haven't read it myself) is "The Mom Test" by Rob Fitzpatrick. It's all about how to ask customers for feedback. Two weeks ago he was also on the indiehackers podcast if you prefer something to listen to.
I will definitely check it out and read it as well as the podcast 😄 Thank you guys!
I use some general and specific "habit" apps like HabitMinder, Zero, Duolingo, stoic., Oak and Seven. There's many apps in this field and as a customer I often don't immediately see the USP / differentiator compared to others. So if you communicate this clearly to me and the USP is valuable to me I am much more intrigued to proceed. What problem(s) is your app solving that others don't? I would also recommend checking out all the guides on https://www.indiehackers.com/start. Good luck!
