When you go fishing...
"When you go fishing, do you put what you want or what the fish wants on the hook? Do you use steak or a worm?" - Ryan Townend @ William Joseph Communications
A friend of a friend posted on LinkedIn "for Febuary 29th I'm donating 1hr of free consulting to 29 people for $29 [to a charity]".
I just had my 1hr call with Ryan and he delicately asked why the Lakebed website is designed the way it is. I said its partially me leaning towards data/text and partially the feedback I've gotten here on Indie Hackers. To that he responded "when you go fishing do you put a steak or a worm on the hook". In other words, the feedback from Indie Hackers doesn't matter as much as feedback from customers. If your target demographic is SME's then you need to talk to them to get customer feedback.
All too often, for me at least, its easy to post here and get feedback and falsely feel like we're making progress because that's quicker & easier than talking to customers.
Hope that's as valuable for others as it was for me.
Awesome story & great idea & quote by your friend.
Reminds me of "If you're not talking to actual target customers in your target audience, then you're just playing startup" - from somewhere in https://blog.gettamboo.com/the-epic-guide-to-bootstrapping-a-saas-startup-from-scratch-by-yourself-part-1-4d834e1df8c1
Keep up the great work dude 💪
Thanks Travis!
That means a lot coming from you/SaaSify!
I look for a few things when fishing urban/suburban ponds. I usually show up with a pole and spend a few minutes at a pond looking over it. . Is there some diversity in the pond... ie deep and shallow spots, cover, overhanging branches, underwater structures and drop-offs. I also look for signs of others having fished there... ie. trails along the banks, old lines, worms, or other fishing stuff (which I clean up). This says that others fish here and most likely catch stuff.
This site has nautical charts that will show the underwater terrain, area, depth, and ice fishing around the San Juans. (You can zoom in) https://fishvantage.com/
The most favorite time for fishing is in summer because it is very tricky to go for fishing in winter season especially if you go to bass fishing, carp or pike fishing. But in winter season Ice fishing would be ideal. Ice fishing is difficult but still if you are professional then you can do ice fishing in winter season. https://sensiblefishing.com/
Mostly in summer holidays, I do fishing and share my experience with my blog that hosted on WordPress. You can see here https://fishingbae.com/

Yes, this post is totally talking about actual fishing and only 2+ years old.
Or, are you using a fishing site to go phishing? That's be hilariously ironic.
