💔 Yesterday... I received a notice from G2 telling me: "NO!, @GapScoutApp can't crawl our publicly available data."

🔎 A Google search indicates zero problems (incl. court case precedent).

💼 I'm speaking with a lawyer, but curious to know what you think?

#buildinpublic

Well now...

Just got this notice from @G2dotcom. Will look into it further, but apparently you're not allowed to aggregate data that they have publicly available.🤔

Let me know what you think?

#buildinpublic

People like to do business with people, not brands.

Build in public benefits ✅
1. Trust & credibility
2. Valuable feedback
3. Word of mouth

Add #BuildInPublic to your marketing strategy. Even if you're an established brand, you can open up communication at any time.

I've been asked about my goals for @GapScoutApp.

I simply want to create a cool tool for people to use to help them win more business. That's it.

👎 Not trying to take over the world.
👎 Not trying to change the world.

Just a darn useful piece of software.

#buildinpublic

Day going well so far.

#buildinpublic

Building in public unlocks countless opportunities, helping you to form connections you never would have if you stay silent.

Even if you're company is 10yrs old, a transparent public approach can help customers feel a stronger connection to you.

Here's an example of the insights you can get just from the @GapScoutApp dashboard.

Noticed that @GapScoutApp's sign-ups and visitor metrics exploded today.

Turns out it was mentioned on Reddit. 🙌

Last week, I mentioned that I got food poisoning... Unfortunately, this put me behind about a week on marketing for @GapScoutApp.

But I'm back, and these demo videos aren't going to record themselves.

My #BuildInPublic process for starting a successful business:

1. Set up a blog
2. Write
3. Get emails
4. Build the product at the same time.
5. Launch.

It's not new. I didn't invent it. It's just a slow, predictable method where consistency wins.

“Why should I use your AI tool when I can just use ChatGPT”?

My answer to this for those looking to use @GapScoutApp: please do try using ChatGPT first.

We’ll be here for you when you’re done banging your head against that wall. 🙂

#buildinpublic

Whoever says, "Blogging is dead" doesn't know sh*t.

10mo ago, I started a blog as the only means to build pre-launch awareness of @GapScoutApp.

3 posts/wk
1400 (min) words ea.
1010 subs

Consistency wins, and I haven't even poured gas on this fire yet. 🔥

With LearnDash, I used a ticketing system for support. That feels quite dated.

With @GapScoutApp, I'm making support conversation-based, not ticket based. Chat is the main channel, emails are convos that can be turned into chat, and all convos are saved.

#buildinpublic

I've had more ups and downs trying to #buildinpublic with @GapScoutApp than ever before.

I'm going crazy trying to find the balance of UTILITY + PRICE + VALUE so that I can be proud of what I bring to the market (and not just more "AI noise").
