[2023-07-12 10:09:53 PM] : I am starting on creating my first actual e-bomb. I am pretty new to the position that I am working in now, but I was going to use that as my professional demographic. Is it still possible to actually make valuable content while I am still new to this type of position? Would I just have to mostly target people trying to work in the field? For reference the role is for Site Reliability Engineering

[2023-07-12 04:41:54 AM] : i'm wondering about the technique taught in the course where you pick keywords from the forum titles and search for them to find threads. is there a reason to go this route instead of picking out popular/somehow interesting topics from the top of the forum?

[2023-07-07 04:23:55 AM] : i've not got 7 posts, 0 subs and incredibly few visitors. i don't mind all that, it's just for info. my question is should I keep going writing new posts or should I go back to rewrite some stuff I already know could be better?
Has anyone had a pro
[2023-07-06 10:44:48 AM] : Has anyone had a project/something start to do well and then just utterly not be interested? I had my first paying customer on a random side project and internally I was like, "I don't want to do anything with this at all."
How did you rationally think through that?
I refunded the customer and am looking for someone to take over and make it better than I could. But it feels so counterintuitive to what I would have thought I would have felt....

[2023-06-28 04:00:51 PM] : Saw this comment and it reminded me you folks:
```Last year, I finally worked up the nerve to make a free web game into a real, complete game and release it on Steam.
Since I was doing it for fun, I decided to make the game free (this meant I missed out on learning if people liked the idea enough to pay, and also I couldn’t use sales to drive interest).

[2023-06-28 09:28:22 AM] : I have a question about the course itself. i've finished part 1 and am not sure whether to focus my time now on doing the work (safari, posting, etc) or continue with part 2. i'm the kind of person who does one thing at a time so i'm kind of leaning towards just doing the work for a while until i get X amount of subscribers (currently 0) or Y amount of blog posts (currently 3). Does this make sense? What's X or Y?
Regarding pain-oppor
[2023-06-28 12:43:29 AM] : Regarding pain-opportunity-win combos in Launch FTW, I find it hard to describe an opportunity that doesn’t include method or format. A few examples would help in distilling the granularity level of what defines as an opportunity. Anyone else going through the course and willing to share a combo or two?
One combo I have: “People in my industry are overwhelmed by the amount learning resources available, but if only they had a curated list of quality resources, they would have the feeling of making progress towards their goal”. I think that the opportunity here has the method baked in and I’m afraid I’m narrowing down too soon...
Am I going too wide
[2023-06-27 11:49:14 PM] : Am I going too wide on my audience?
The audience I set out for is No-code developers but have found that the most useful no-code developers watering-holes to be in the specific tools such as Webflow, Airtable and Notion.
Safari’ing these spots has be incredibly useful but I feel like it could be good to narrow my audience to one of the tools in particular vs the wider audience?...
Is anyone trying to
[2023-06-25 11:47:07 PM] : Is anyone trying to mix LaunchFTW with going through 30x500 at the same time (whether for the first time or repeating)? Any ideas on how to interleave/mix these things together?

[2023-06-24 08:58:11 AM] : Ugh, I am feeling stuck on selecting the “perfect” audience despite reading all about it. It’s scary. I want to select the perfect audience and sometimes it FEELS like audiences I belong to are not good enough.
Just sharing here because I am stuck on this for so long and it’s also written on the audience selection page that this happens....
you're going to pick
[2023-06-22 11:23:57 AM] : you're going to pick a single one to focus on, but many people find it helpful to list out multiple viable the options and then narrow them down based on the constraints we provide.
