5 tips to help you be successful with your waiting list 👇

#buildinpublic

I wrote about how we set up automatic image optimisation script, to improve our page speed. 👇

Yesterday we ran our first experiment with an "engineering as marketing" idea. We created a little mini product that you can use to easily discover something to read with just one click.

The content is all coming from real people who curated it.

Here’s how we improved waiting list ➔ sign up conversions ✅

How we approach traction at Beyond: beyond.so/blog/getting-o…

Yes one idea was to buy a billboard, but that hasn’t happened just yet 🤪

#buildinpublic

Currently at 89 MAU. Small steps! Feels so great that people are actually using our product 🥰🥰🥰

You can be number 90! Join us: beyond.so

#buildinpublic

We just bit the bullet and bought beyond.so — our name is Beyond, but with the old domain everyone was already getting it wrong all the time (“go beyond”).

It feels so good to have it now ☺️

#buildinpublic

And we recently acquired our first power user. Someone we don't know personally and is using our product more than we are. This is an amazing feeling. 😃

#buildinpublic

Currently at 63 sign ups, with most of them happening (not surprisingly) on days we send out invites by mail:

#buildinpublic

🌏 At Beyond we plan to #buildinpublic -- not just our product but the company too.

Hear a bit more about what this means to us in the blog post I prepared 👇

gobeyond.so/r/r/blog.build…

This time last week, we invited our first 100 users (actually it ended up being a few less)

So far we have 45 sign ups

#buildinpublic

We've received quite a few sign ups (>2k) to the Beyond waiting list already, so we've migrated it over from Airtable to @WaitlistAPI -- now people can jump the queue by referring others 🎉

#buildinpublic

We’re close to having our gobeyond.so MVP ready to test/break, so the focus is beginning to shift over to #traction instead.

I’m pretty pumped to start sharing some previews, and to start sharing what we’re upto in terms of our traction strategy. #buildinpublic 🔥

So maybe it’s about time to give a tiny tour of what Feed is about.

🧵👇

Ok three users signed up already. I’m just here refreshing the page and stalking them quietly from the backend 🕵️

#buildinpublic

Sending out the first invites, and I’m nervous 🤓

#buildinpublic

I’m just tidying up a handful of little bugs in the settings page and profile pages, before transitioning into ‘communications’ mode.

Looking forward to sending invites to the people on my waiting list in a few hours 🚀

#buildinpublic update!

Fixed up a few weird things on the new landing page 🕺🏼

Thank you @soorajchandran_ and @yusufcodes for the feedback 🙏🏼

Ok it’s #buildinpublic time!

Just pushed my new landing page live -> feed.so

Plenty of little things I’d love to tweak and fix, but would prefer to spend the time on other areas for now.

Feedback please y’all 🙏🏼

Have not been so good with posting daily, but last night I worked on a better landing page and excited to get it live soon! (hopefully on the weekend)

Here’s a little preview :)
