⚡ 10-Minute Startup

Had a quick idea that just I threw up. Could be a mini-newsletter but started on Twitter.

🙏 Any thoughts?

  • Bad Idea?
  • How to make it more useful?
  • Do you look at other products to learn?

Critical feedback is very welcome.

    Love it, this is product equivalent of marketing examples

    1. 2

      Haha! Love the simplicity of this Dru. Useful tips so far

      One thing that I stole from Steve Schoger was how he formats images. All them have the same background frame, and are the right twitter dimensions. (16/9). Personally, I think the little details matter.

      Might not be worth it for you. Just an idea.

      1. 1

        That's a great point.

        Appreciate it. Feedback straight from the source 😆

          Reminds me of Growth Design as well. Check them out.

    Simple and neat @dru_riley

    Would love to know your product selection mechanism and how you would evolve the idea?

    1. 1

      Thanks Felix! You hit on the hardest part. So far it's been a backlog of ideas in my head. A few friends have sent some examples. And someone suggested that I engage users on Twitter and ask for their fav product examples.

      Taking it to the next level. Is a newsletter. Adding more value by grouping examples. And there are a lot of options from there. eBook? Sponsored product examples?

    Very simple but cool idea!
    I look at successful ideas all the time, especially what works and what not.

    1. 1

      Same here! Let me know if you have any ideas. I'd feature them and credit you.

      Great point Wojtek!

    This is cool Dru

    Currently been doing something similar with my newsletter's Twitter account: https://twitter.com/ProductPersonHQ

    Aim to have a recognizable background for each post so that people know it's you.

    And if you're gonna start a newsletter on top of this. I recommend Substack.

    Good luck! :)

    Nice idea. I learnt quite a bit spending a few mins there.

    1. 1

      That's great to hear Deepan. 👍 The hope is that makers can learn from lots of examples.

  7. 2

    It reminds me to marketing examples! I like it so much mate!

    already following!

      Thanks for checking it out. And I'm with you on that. Marketing Examples is amazing

    Nice idea @dru_riley

    Monetization ideas:

    1. Create a free weekly email ( get sponsors on board )
    2. Create an ebook with lots of examples ( sell ads in it / charge for book )

      Great ideas Craig! And those seem like natural next steps. Thanks!

  9. 2

    Great way to start with a minimum barrier to test the idea! How did you already start getting follwers?

    1. 2

      Hey! Thanks for checking it out.

      1. Went to a small (10 people) slack group for feedback
      2. Then asked for feedback on my personal Twitter account
  10. 2

    I don't think one line will do for those (like me), who are not in the UX/UI space.

    1. 1

      Thanks for checking it out Nikola! And giving feedback.

      I had people in mind who need examples to understand. Like me, I think in models. Show me a lot of examples of the same idea, then it clicks.

      But great point, we are different.

    Following, keep them coming.

      Thanks! Will do! 😄

      This is great feedback.

      I thought about @harrydry while mocking it up. But that's a great point. He references RefactoringUI too. I've heard podcasts from them but clearly need to dig deeper.

      Thanks Steven!
