MVP is done and soft launched

Took me 3 months to finish SQL Habit course MVP:

  • design homepage
  • a website with SQL editor
  • lessons and interactive exercises
  • payments
  • user ratings and feedback
  • write 45 first lessons
  • publish full course agenda
  • tiny content management tool

Is it really MVP?

I'd have done everything different now: I'd find 20 people on LinkedIn/Reddit/Twitter, charge them 199$ and start writing weekly PDFs and share it with them. After 3 months I'd have:

  • fully finished course
  • 20 happy people whom I taught everything I know
  • 3980$

    Hey there I like the project and it is probably much more than an MVP. I could imagine that your idea about contacting people on Reddit/Twitter is not that easy. However, you would have a very early validation of your business model, which is really important. So probably yes this would have been a leaner and more time-saving approach.

    Concerning the landing page, I think it looks pretty good. Maybe I would put more icons to text passages so that they look a bit more inviting. I really do not like changing headlines, but this seems to be modern now and is probably a matter of taste.

      Thanks a lot for feedback! I really like the idea of adding icons and making copy work better on LP, thanks a ton, working on it!
