This is a post I just wrote about dealing with failure in adventure, but having worked on a few startups, I think there are a lot of parallels with the startup community. High risk, low chance of success, big challenges yet highly rewarding.
You're bang on the money. This was a very very very early stage test to see what people thought of the idea and if they valued it enough to pay $5. Round two of development will involve more work on the business model and adding the examples of job posts and credibility factor. Thanks for much for the feedback. It's invaluable.
Sorry about that UX faux pas. I'm still learning these things. I didn't realise it was causing problems. I'll get onto it straight away. Glad you let me know. Thanks.
Thanks for letting me know. The title sounds pretty spammy now that I think about it. I'm still experimenting with various ways to reach an adventure audience but I've tried guest posts, SEO, adventure forums and cross promotion are all the usual suspects. I'm not after big growth, just some ideas for reaching the right people at the right time.
I imagine there are some interesting case-studies from people who frequent HN.
I wasn't meaning small in terms of liveable area. I was just thinking how people generally imagine the planet to be this near infinite area, but really, we each only have a tiny patch of space to look after.
That's true. But I don't have to print and ship bags myself at all. It's all automated by the good folks at shopify and Printful. They take a good chunk of each sale of course, but the net results are worth it.
Your suspicion is fair enough. Price range is from $200 for individual domains but will be happy to discuss if buying as a group. I'm not looking to make five figures off this.
