      Cheers. Such a high leverage skill. For example imagne taking conversion from 2% to 4% just from improving landing page copy. Much easier than doubling traffic!

    Hey Harry - love the simplicity of this. What do you think of the problem-focused approach to writing landing page copy from this Indie Hackers guide?

      it's good. deserves more upvotes haha!

      I think, “80% of features you build are never used” is a great line (and probably better than your title. get's more attention.

    Nice little formula, I'll keep it in mind when talking about features and benefits. Thanks for sharing :)
