Hey, I created an article on this that Alejandro already shared: upgroves.com/reddit-posts/

I also curated a list of examples from other founders, here you can take a look: rose-kale-25b.notion.site/c65…

Hope that helps!

If you don't have any testimonials yeti would try to build trust in other ways. Maybe talking about you and your expertise, or adding an about page.

The copy in the header it's a bit generic. You could include how you'll achieve those outcomes.

Cool! Will Work on it. Thanks Paulina!

I looked at all the pages and they all look good!
I would add testimonials to the services pages.
I didn't know you could add products to buymeacoffee.

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback.
I'm still looking for my first set of users to get testimonials.

Does the homepage at curatedforfounders.com make sense? Any suggestions?

This is really hepful! I appreciate the detailed response.
"Marketing through teaching" (or showing) is more or less the approach I was looking to follow.
Yeah recently funded companies are looking for ways to grow quickly. But I feel like I would need a couple of success cases first though. Did you do any free work at the beginning?
I want to leverage my LinkedIn audience to promote my service there. Hopefully all can fall within the #upgroves umbrella.

@Paulina Yes, I did about a year and a half of free work (while working FT); this was either comprised of workshops or 1:1s. From there, I started eventually getting paid for the 1:1s, and a few small engagements came out of the workshops.

Side Note: At that time I did not have at that time I did not have an engagement mechanism (newsletter or email marketing). So I didn't really have a system in place to nurture and convert relationships. That's where the 1:1s came in handy; but it was all passive (again -- at that time it was a side thing for me)

Hey Ibon, it wasn't an accident I deleted the reply because I missed your first post and I though I had asked something you already answered.
Thanks so much for the detailed answer. This is really helpful! This has given me a lot of ideas.
Cheers!

Hey I just published an analysis of how 6 indiehackers got Google Ads working for them. Thought you might find this useful:

upgroves.com/google-ads/

TL;DR:
1. Audit your search terms frequently
2. Start as soon as possible
3. Observe users’ actions
4. Set a target CPA limit
5. Focus on high value keywords
6. Target competitor brands

I think I can lift more weight, but it might be a placebo effect. It's not a gamechanger.
I also feel like I recover faster.
No noticeable mental effects. But that might be because I have sleep issues.
I'm just taking it because everyone says it's good, and it improves my shape (water gets retained between your muscles) .
I've been taking 3g daily for a few years.
