Day 310
13:15 PM
We're back
ish
80%
Good enough
13:37 PM
There are a lot of edge cases here that I haven't sorted out yet
E.g. allowing merchants to shop on their website for the exchange credit instead of on my custom built thing
--> size charts -> will likely have to integrate with different apps...
--> conversion rate testing/getting 'branding' feel
--> full landing pages -> for more expensive products
Allowing merchants to shop on their own websites solves all of them, but I'll have to do that later
I want to get this launched as soon as possible, iterate and improve rapidly, then continue
I suspect most merchants will be fine with how it is for now, and 80/20 rule
Only super big brands will have an issue with sizing/conversion rate/custom landing pages here
then of course we have live chat... which will have to be launched later
and also full-stack self-service solution...
Seen a very good competitor do self-service well but not QUITE there yet in terms of the whole picture
But they are very good
Right now I have 'returns'
Refund/edit/cancel/duplicate/edit address is so easy, will take me few days
GONNA BE GOOD
Also bought bunch more emails, got 4 domains x 3 emails warming up for cold emails
but will eventually have to build for woocommerce since 2-3x more woocommerce stores than shopify stores, not sure how many active but still
Anyway so cold email, a lot of complexities there, will sort out later
basically focus right now is building
- launch
- then cold email
- build live chat + rest of stuff while waiting for 14 day free trial results
- then facebook ads, google ads
- then bing ads, twitter ads, linkedin ads
- viral feedback loops building
havent even built stripe and bunch of other stuff yet
a lot to do
ETA 7 days????
15:32 PM
In my dream about the 'plague'
it was 3 flies
I may be overthinking it, but --> 3 diseases?
- monkeypox --> mutates --> becomes worse
- coronavirus --> mutations??
- polio --> idfk
anyway
It appears as if I have to hurry up with everything I'm doing
Let's try
17:02 PM
Zendesk is worth 7 billion nice
All the companies that use zendesk generally have shite support e.g. NHS, GOV.UK etc
they don't even use their own zendesk CRM to manage customer data hahahahhahahhaha
their buttons and inputs are all off center wtf
very nice
I literally have no competition
nvm 1-2 competitors. just saw 1 new one, pretty solid. will copy + improve on everything though keke
0 competition
