    Nice font but impossible to read in my phone.

    "They only care about how you can solve their problems."

    Totally agree with this.

  3. 2

    This is lifelong lesson, not a failure any more

    Thank you. Great article. Specifically for the insight about which sales channels worked for you.

    1. 1

      Cheers.. glad you found it useful 🙌

    Very good read.

    One question from lesson 6. "Copywriting is super valuable, essentially you want to focus on the pain points of your users":
    Have you found more success prequesiting the problem before talking about the solution? Or just focusing on the solution since users will know what problems they experience and they can connect the dots?

    1. 2

      My favorite copywriting framework is PAS - Problem, Agitate, Solution

      I believe we need to talk about the problem for sure..

      Also, never assume that the user will know something. Tell it to them in a as straightforward a manner as possible..

        PAS looks like it'll make for good learning. Thanks for sharing!

    Would you please consider changing the font? I'm having a really hard time reading it. Thank you.

    1. 1

      Hey sorry, can you share which device and browser you're reading from? I've tried in a bunch of browsers and it renders alright.

      1. 1

        Chrome. Android. It's some sorta cursive font that's pretty but almost unreadable imho.

        1. 1

          I've made some changes, it should be fixed now I think..
