[2023-05-07 11:45:45 AM] : To be able to safari, I need to understand the type of customers that I need to target.
[2023-05-07 12:03:22 PM] : are you trying to use safari to find customers for the WP plugin?
[2023-05-07 12:04:18 PM] : I would like to start generating some ebombs but I need to find a place where I can find the customers and understand the problems
[2023-05-07 12:04:58 PM] : if so, this is possible but very difficult because it's backwards from the entire 30x500 approach of starting with the people you are well suited to find and sell to.
If you start with a product that you a) don't exactly know who is going to buy it and/or b) those people aren't an audience you know well and therefore have advantages, you're choosing to do this on the most difficult setting.
[2023-05-07 12:05:27 PM] : retrofitting 30x500 onto an existing product is possible, but very difficult compared to starting with audience selection based on your professional experience and strengths. we recommend strongly against it while you're trying to learn the fundamentals.
[2023-05-07 12:06:15 PM] : Yes, exactly. I don't know the exact audience. It is a plugin that has done a bit of everything to target a lot of people and that makes it hard to narrow down to an audience.
[2023-05-07 12:06:59 PM] : candidly, that's an early clue that you're probably going to continue struggling with this product.
[2023-05-07 12:07:53 PM] : you jumped ahead and skipped major parts of the process before you've done them the way we suggest :wink:
[2023-05-07 12:08:20 PM] : sadly, its true.
[2023-05-07 12:08:31 PM] : it's not sad, it's just honest!
[2023-05-07 12:08:54 PM] : My expertise as the course suggests is no where close to what an ERP does.
[2023-05-07 12:09:08 PM] : also, think about this:
[2023-05-07 12:09:13 PM] : you bought the plugin for "dirt cheap"
[2023-05-07 12:09:34 PM] : why do you think it might have been available for you to buy so cheap?
[2023-05-07 12:11:05 PM] : I was in a builder mindset back then, yea.
[2023-05-07 12:11:14 PM] : Just build and it will come.
[2023-05-07 12:11:28 PM] : more specifically
[2023-05-07 12:12:49 PM] : you bought the plugin from another developer, right? why might they be willing to sell it to you for so little?
[2023-05-07 12:15:31 PM] : yeah, the answer is obvious, wanted to try and revive it
[2023-05-07 12:15:55 PM] : He couldn't make it work himself
[2023-05-07 12:16:06 PM] : It makes $1k in a year currently
[2023-05-07 12:16:08 PM] : and if he couldn't make it work....
[2023-05-07 12:21:03 PM] : here's my advice - you paid handsomely to join 30x500. if you use it as we suggest, your odds of success go way up.
The #1 cause of failure here is doing nothing. the #2 cause of failure is people trying to get fancy before they've tried implementing the basics.
down the road you'll have plenty of opportunities to get fancy and learn and experiment with different techniques that can actually lead you to success, but only if you've got a solid foundation with the basics.
[2023-05-07 12:26:57 PM] : Makes sense that I need to honestly follow the course and the course strongly recommends that I start with an audience that I know about..
[2023-05-07 12:27:14 PM] : everything gets so much easier
[2023-05-07 12:27:41 PM] : It is a fresh mindset for me.
[2023-05-07 12:28:00 PM] : you're trying to run an obstacle course blindfolded. imagine if you could take the blindfold off, and even had a map?
[2023-05-07 12:28:05 PM] : that's the difference
[2023-05-07 12:28:11 PM] : Thank you alex for discussing this with me. This was a critical discussion for me.
[2023-05-07 12:29:59 PM] : good im glad it helped
[2023-05-07 12:30:06 PM] : you paid a lot to be here. now use what you paid for :wink:
[2023-05-07 12:30:32 PM] : This discussion was worth a lot in itself.
