    Are you building a marketplace? An Uber/Airbnb for X?

    @manonjourney Initially any updates to their public facing profile was updated manually by me. It helped me understand what people needed because it forced conversation with the initial members, who would say things like “it would be good if we could do this, or see this”. One thing I’ve found...

    Are you building a marketplace? An Uber/Airbnb for X?

    @kenhui I'd suggest using something like the free tier of Hot Jar to get some user feedback. Create some exit polls to ask why they didn't purchase a class etc, use session recordings to see what people do, set up some funnels to see how far people get in the purchase before dropping out. I'd...
