Built a €1M ARR business. I'll give my time for free about marketing/product.

Hey,

I'm the happy (and quite honestly, a bit tired) founder of Edusign.
We built a SaaS with €1,000,000 in ARR under 2 years.

I really want to give back to the community anyway I can. :)

Thus, if you want to hop on a call with me, you can just add a comment and I'll send you the booking link asap.

I'm not a genius at everything, you will get my humble opinion from my experiences. You can use it or throw it if you think that's garbage. My domains are :

  • Marketing (I do inbound, don't ask me about outbound :p) - Positionning, pricing, landing pages, demand gen, etc.
  • Product
  • Productivity
  • Anything related to startups/online business management

I'd appreciate if I can record the exchanges, so that I can send the videos to other indie hackers if the same questions are asked.

If I can even help one person, I'll be happy.

Cheers,

    Hi Elliot 👋🏻

    Not building anything right now, but I have some ideas for a few startups — want to start working on one of them in next month, hence I’ll really appreciate your call with you about marketing and product related stuff 👀

    BTW, I’m interested in promoting products without audience — I’m still growing my blogs, but I wouldn’t say I have a lot of people to promote my blog to.

      Sure, email sent !

      Hey Georgy,

      That's great. Can we please collaborate on writing a few blogs on "increasing productivity for Designers and Developers? " I had few ideas on blogs but I'm not much of a writer myself.

      If is it something that you would be interested then please send me an email on sgupta@matsci.ai

    Howdy Elliot,
    I am developing https://lordicon.com - the biggest animated icon library in the internet. We focus on the quality animation and hassle-free UX (you wont see ads or limit free downloads before sign up).

    We put a maximum pressure on SEO and influencer marketing.

    It would be great to discuss the product and marketing with you. This is my email: tom@lordicon.com

  12. 1

    Elliot, this is an awesome and generous offer you are providing. May I suggest that you write an article about your journey and your marketing efforts? May be helpful to many people other than just helping one-on-one.

    Hey building a gaming platform. Be great to get some tips re: marketing and building an online presence. P.S. saw your interview on another site, I am ex-CG too :-)

    1. 1

      Awesome !
      Send me an email at elliot@edusign.fr so that we can book a time :)

    Hey Elliot, congrats on your success. I'd love to hear your inputs on my project.

    I'm building DoneMyBit (http://donemybit.com). It's a weekly planner tool for busy professionals.

    It's a simple to-do list app, with your professional todos, and weekly plans in focus.

    I work as a team lead / manager, and I had challenges keeping up with all the tasks I have for the week. I wanted a simple tool to record and overview them.

    The obvious question to all productivity (and especially to-do list) apps: how does it differ from the thousand existing ones? I don't have a good answer, which I understand is a huge problem. It's super simple and focuses on the week, something I didn't find a solution for.

    I'd love to hear your thoughts on the product itself, or in making it stand out for a target audience. I'm thinking about professionals, who have a lot of small things to take care of, and work with a computer - is this something to start with?

    Thank you for what you do for the community.

  15. 1

    Thanks, Elliot for helping the start-up community!

    Currently building https://instaminutes.com/, it summarizes meetings into short notes in 1 click :)

    It’s 100% free while in private beta and we are currently building the product with access to a limited number of users.

    I'd love to discuss about product and marketing with you ( sgupta@matsci.ai ) :)

    This is Pragyan from Vadelabs. I've been building in public in IH and Twitter for the last 14 weeks and launched the alpha version of the product on 31st March 2022.

    Hey @Elliot-Boucher, this is fantastic. Very interesting niche. Haven't heard of it before.

    I've built a platform called SparrowStartup.com, where startups are trained by successful founders to scale their revenue. I'm wondering if you'd be open to being an advisor with us? :)

    I'm very involved in the operations of the platform and will always vet founders who want to speak with you. Eager to chat/hear from you!

    Salut Elliot,

    J'ai pu voir ton parcours et ta boite sur Linkedin, un grand bravo, c'est vraiment incroyable !

    J'ai toujours rêvé d'atteindre de tels objectifs, mais après plusieurs années à entreprendre et quelques mauvaises décisions je n'arrive pas à vraiment sortir du mode "survie".

    Ce serait vraiment super de pouvoir échanger quelques minutes avec toi sur ton parcours et apprendre.

    Email: t.habouzit@teamupp.fr

    Encore bravo !
