Get Curated Database Stored in Spreadsheets
I use slow approach to grow my audience. Manually contacting people and asking for feedback and improving the site. With this method I have managed to have 60 daily users so far. However I have a feeling it's not sustainable and I need to figurate how to automate it without losing in-person feeling.
Currently, the main feedback I got is that there are not enough content. And needs more details/explanation. Working on that.
I build single page website with WordPress and Elementor plugin. Added Stripe integration and my MVP version was good enough for users to buy my datasets. At this time I don't want to blow my option to post on ProductHunt, so I decided to share my product on UK Startup community slack. I got good feedback and pointed to some bugs. And got few sales. In total 4 transactions with total amount 28 USD.
After being addictive to themeforest and codecanyon I realise that now it's quite easy to build a product or start a MVP. However, you need initial data to to get your product of the ground. Such as list of startup directories to publish. Connections to angel investors if you want you product to next level. So, I decide to build marketplace where to sell curated and researched data that may be valuable for other indie developers, artists and creatives.
My elevator pitch: "Themeforset for spreadsheets"

Interesting...how often do you update your content?
Cool that you managed to put something together so fast!
Since you are using wordpress I have a question for you... I am doing a proof of concept on a WP page speed optimizer. Would it be ok if I use your site to test how much faster my optimizer could make your site? No changes are required on your site... I would just point the optimizer at your site and it would run the optimizations to a demo site that mirrors the master site. You can be in the loop and I can send you the results etc if you are curious to see the outcome. I think you may get some phantom analytics hits so I wanted to ask first. If you would be interested in assisting me further I have some questions that I will be collecting from different website owners running on Wordpress.
