I'm 23, building my first startup with $0. Roast my plan
I am a 23 years old trying to build my first startup. This is day 1 of my startup.
Firstly I always wondered if we can learn by playing and experiencing with the concepts, not just reading boring explanations. So I thought why not build a platform people can post interactive experiences rather that boring lectures. The only things you need to know to create a post is your domain knowledge and plain english. And sharing an interactive experience is as easy as sharing a picture or video.
Second thing I noticed their are many valuable information in people's replies on social platforms like youtube, reddit, X etc but many people wrote same thing again and again. Now if there are 10 or 20 reply then you can read it but say there are 1000+ replies then it takes too much time to read So I thought why not build an extension which will categorize all replies and give me all the key points by I will able to understand what people actually want.
These are my two ideas so far.
I am good in building stuff but have no knowledge about sales and marketing stuff. By reading some reddit posts I understood market before launch is very good for success. So I thought I'll spend 70% of my time on marketing and 25% on building and 5% sharing the journey on every platform.
So for day 1 I did this: - I build two landing pages with waitlist for both of my projects. - Did a very few of the development work for the platforms. - Cold mails about 50 investors among them got only 2 replies that "They are not interested".
For day 2 my plan is to: - Send cold dms to atleast 200 people mainly youtubers and teachers about my platforms and 50 more investors. - And do few more development work.
My goal is to get at least 10 people on the waitlist by the end of this week. Roast me. I’d rather hear it now than waste 6 months.
