Website ✅ Pre-sale ✅ ... Let's do this!
by Joe Barbour...At long last, of building quietly in silence I am so pleased to announce the release of the SprintDock website after months of work. Why months? Well, I will go into that in a follow-up article, but today I celebrate the huge founder win of going live! Next stop, the first sale...
Along with the launch, I am also experimenting with an 'Early Bird' 75% off discount for SprintDock, an app that is not out yet. Why? Well, as I heard on a fantastic [Twitter] Spaces with @I_Love_Sass & @BoringSaasGuy, it's not uncommon to in business to ask for the money up-front. The fast-food industry is a great example of that, so is construction. So why not with SaaS? It gives people who have emotionally invested in your product a chance to buy in early at a huge discount. And it is an incredible way for you to validate your product, as what is better validation than people actually putting their money where their mouths are?! A win win for all, or that's the hope at least.
In the coming weeks and months, I will be posting frequently as I retroactively, and presently build in public and all of these experiments and how they pan out. This is a learning curve for me, and I hope I can shed some light on things that work and things that don't along the way as we are all in this together. And with that, any thoughts, ideas and criticisms (as long as it's constructive) are encouraged.
So please, get typing fellow Hackers.
