Launch a Google Sheet

I've written before, that you can launch a business with a google sheet.

Now I'm going to talk about the Pre-MVP.

Before you have a business. Launch a google sheet.

When you have an idea. Launch a google sheet.

Some Crazy Ideas

Release Your Swipe File

Capture 100 examples of great work in your industry. You did all the work already. Go ahead release it. Share your POV. Share what you've learned, your notes. Your insights.

  • 100 Email Templates
  • 100 Landing Pages

Release a Calculator

Create a calculator in a google sheet. A marketer can code a google sheet while the technical team can keep building the core product.

  • Podcast Ad Calculator
  • Financial Model Calculators
  • Calculate How much your users can make from using your product.

Create a Marketplace

Don't got time to code? No time to source more than a few sellers and buyers? Launch a google sheet for them to find each other. If your business is a marketplace, You might think this cannibalizing your product. But if your marketplace is worth it's price, it'll be 10x better than a google sheet. And this google sheet will get your users started right now.

You can copy the one I made.

And, Here's how I made it.

Speaking of Google Sheets, I show you how to do all this and more in google sheets: Better Sheets.

        I checked the site, it isn't listed, search doesn't bring it up. Also I got an email today regarding it (coincidentally) from appsumo saying it's going away soon, but when I click on the link in the email it brings me to appsumo.com not the Better Sheets deal. Is it gone already?

        1. 1

          The deal is still here: https://appsumo.com/better-sheets/
          It's not on the browse feature since it's a community deal still.
