Roast my landing page all you want but just please don't tell the idea SUCKS!
Hey!
I've been a lurker on indiehacker for a while now. This awesome community is what keeps me motivated and I couldn't thank enough.
The amount of learning and help I've received just by following some topics is immeasurable.
I'm a recent grad and have been preparing for tech interviews for some days now. My friend who recently got a job at Factset made an 8-week study guide with resources to get familiar with the concepts and CS fundamentals necessary to land a software engineer job.
I just thought it would be a great idea to convert that study guide into a newsletter with resources and brief explanations sent out daily.
I've observed how the trend of the newsletters has grown over the past few months in product communities so thought of jumping in.
Do you guys mind giving feedback?
It's pretty clear what you're offering. Your idea doesn't sucks IMO :) There will be always be people who want to learn comp. sci. fundamentals. The question though is...why?
Many want to learn for tech prep interviews and I think making a separate landing page targeting that angle might be a good idea.
The only question you should be answering more IMO is "Why should I sign up?" I mean, there are 100s of resources out there to learn computer science, why you? How do you translate the fact you offer this as a "newsletter" in customer benefits? Maybe something like "Learn Computer Science Fundamentals Without Getting Overwhelmed"..or something like that.
Hope this helped.
Thanks for your feedback!
I feel I do seem to deliver the message of "Why should I sign up?".
But, I guess it's not highlighted enough.
I also felt it is self-explantory, Like when I mentioned "Learn to code one email at a time." Pretty much from that message it gives subscriber an idea of how the course structure relies on a newsletter to go through a routine in an organized fashion.
This seems like a very good idea for people trying to get into Software Development. I had no trouble knowing what this landing page is about. Great Job!
One of the challenges you might have is keeping people subscribed for 8 weeks. You might want to keep the program a bit short! Good luck.
Thanks
