I like your statement “make mountains out of mole hills and call it a business opportunity” 😂

Customer experience during checkout at Point of Sale (alien.top)
 

Hi everyone, I’m interested in knowing how the customer journey or experience at PoS looks like when you visit a brick and mortar business for shopping, say, a clothing brand showroom or a footwear showroom. In my city, almost all big brand retailers, especially the ones at malls are starting to get pushy in acquiring shopper’s phone numbers. Soon after, the shoppers start receiving weekly offers and discounts via text message and WhatsApp. Does this happen elsewhere too? If yes, please share your experience.

I sold 2 micro startups in 2023—here's what I learned in c/entrepreneur@indiehackers.space

Lovely post, yet I have a big question! Can you sell a product once you’ve built it? Or do you need to get paying customers first before you can list on Acquire? Is there any place where tech can be sold soon after building them?

What are you selling and where?

How much would you like to pay to get your product/service in front of 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100,000 new potential customers? in c/entrepreneur@indiehackers.space

Should I outsource development? in c/entrepreneur@indiehackers.space
[–] madz_thestartupguy@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Cheap is not good. Any app with payment gateways will run upwards of 10k USD even when outsourcing. Anyone promising to do it for cheap doesn’t know what they are talking about. I have a software firm in India and believe me, designing and developing commercial grade apps are not going to come cheap. Especially when subject matter expertise is involved. From my experience, developing an MVP runs anywhere around 5K USD and a full fledged software of medium complexity or SaaS usually hovers around 10k to 30k USD. You can get good flutter or iOS devs for 30 to 40 USD an hour in my city.

I’m 35, I have two failed startup’s in the past. It’s not really an old age, just keep trying. Have a job or side hustle that pays your bills and puts food on table. take all your past mistakes as a learning and forge forward with a newer problem to solve. Before you build, validate.
