I am currently working on a project where the client has used WHMCS as their main CRM - it handles all their invoicing, subscriptions, add-ons, etc. The system was developed approx 7 years ago and while it was OK back then, it is very painful to work with now with almost a million users. Even basic features like account upgrade/downgrade, addon addition/removal, etc. are very hard to manage.Any...
Besides SaaStr, what are some other quality B2B communities that you guys would recommend?Coming from a CS background, I have noticed marketing blogs/communities are full of people sharing content and twisting facts with a slightly concealed goal to sell their products instead of sharing knowledge for the sake of sharing it.
I want to use a tried and tested, managed service whose uptime/maintenance is something that I don't have to worry about.
Are there any good alternatives to Mixpanel for desktop applications? Its a bit too expensive.
Hopefully, it will be of some help to you guys :)
My younger brother wants to learn this craft. I am looking for something very definite, a step-by-step course of sorts which is exciting to enough to keep him interested and motivated.Also, which language should he start with?Any suggestions? :)
Here's the link to the product: http://apppulp.com
I only have 20 minutes with a VC. What should I show/ask him?
Let's say if I were to provide you tools that could:1. provide heat-maps of user touches to improve your user interface.2. identify the habits of users who convert, through growth hacking3. identify the user segment beforehand that might stop playing your game, and a possibility to reach out to them (user retention)Would it be of any value to the game developers or are there any pressing...
"If I had given up one day earlier I would have thought that no one cared, but really there was no one to care. There's a difference."
Most inspirational thing I've read after getting the 'we are sorry' mail from YC.
OK. So you're saying is that the 'presence of reward' is the major factor and magnitude is minor (although it should be proportional)? Makes sense.
Basically, I'll just ask them to sign up and integrate a piece of software in their games which will track their game's performance. In the end, the games with the best usage stats would win. The data will be open for everyone to see so there are no concerns about the fraud.
Do I still have to follow lottery/gambling-related laws? :|
Yes, its a premium reward. I am thinking of creating a bundle of useful resources like software licenses, ads space on top forums, etc.
The 'ability to take actions' point is a great one. I'll include that.
Would you mind telling me a bit more about the 'testing' part? I didnt quite get it =)
I am designing a promo campaign for my startup. have a budget of x dollars. Now the question is should I follow the give something to everyone rule and give a smaller reward to every guy who signs up. Or should I make it exclusive and give a much much bigger reward to the top 3 guys?<p>The Pros and Cons I could think of are:<p>1- If you give something to everyone, the reward is...
onion2k mentioned the 'playing with new stuff' part as well. But, I guess you're right, unless I dont somehow communicate with them, I'd never know.
And for communication, your link looks great. Right now, I am using Signals by Hubspot to keep track of emails and user behaviour. It does almost the same thing as well. Will try the tips part as well. Thanks!
Hi guys,I beta launched my service a while ago and got around a 100 guys to sign up. Some of those guys have started using the service when I sent them the welcome email while the rest of them have never even logged in.So I have two questions:1. Any ideas as to how should engage those guys who never logged in? 2. Them subscribing to the service implies that they are interested in it so why...
When I look at my surroundings, majority of the people are struggling to make ends meet. Food, healthcare, jobs - this is what bothers them. Expecting them to take actions with not-so-visible outcome and be concerned about something which will happen sometime in future with unforeseen circumstances is a bit un-realistic.
This holds true for a huuge part of world's population so I guess 'adapting' is the only way now.
Hi guys,I have started off a VDI service (iVDI.com) and was wondering,1. How would you feel if you could access the same Win 7 experience from your iPad, Android and other smartphones? You'll have the ability to use the same desktop from your home, office and even on-the-go via those interfaces.2. How useful would it be for you guys if I can give you pre-configured environments with everything...
