Hey fellow builders!
Julian here with a quick update on Simulit's second week. Balancing a day job, coaching soccer, studying, being married, and developing Simulit has been challenging but rewarding. Here's a concise rundown:
Day 6: Focused on identifying Simulit's unique edge through competitor analysis. Progress was slower due to work commitments.
Day 7: Completed competitor analysis despite a packed schedule. Insights will refine Simulit's landing page and positioning.
Day 8: Worked on the landing page, aiming for clearer communication of Simulit's features based on competitor insights.
Day 9: Finalized the website update, planning to go live the next day.
Day 10: Launched the updated landing page, began setting up pre-sales, and started analyzing competitors' ads for strategy insights.
Day 11: Prepared a cold email campaign targeting small SaaS owners to understand their feedback loops and introduce Simulit. Also engaged with communities on Reddit and IndieHackers.
Day 12: Posted in various subreddits, wrote this weekly recap, and continued lead generation for the cold email campaign. Planned to increase focus on ads.
Reflections: This week showed the importance of clear goals and efficient time management. The competitor analysis was particularly enlightening, helping to shape Simulit's direction.
Next Steps: I'm diving into cold emailing, ads and further community engagement. The goal is to make customer interviews more efficient and insightful.
