    Learn how the Marketing for Developers launch went, and his initial sales numbers. You'll also hear the personal audio journals he recorded during the launch process. On sharing revenue numbers On the other hand, sharing numbers can sometimes feel a little… icky. It can feel like you’re shoving your success in other people’s faces.And maybe I need to work on my own insecurities, but I know that no matter how successful I am, all it takes is reading another one of these stupid “How I Made $17,000 in 24 Hours” posts to feel like I’m a miserable failure. After all, I didn’t make $17,000 in the last 24 hours. So I must be doing something very wrong!From Sacha Greif's Discover Meteor case study.

    EP27: Looking for that secret sauce

    Referencing the "cult of personality:" People are buying products thinking that if they can get someone's secret sauce, they can re-create that person's success.Adam Clark said: In our culture, the independent entrepreneur is like the Marlboro Man.

    EP26: Holy Bananas

    What is product validation? If you're building a product, you want validation. You want to know your product has value - that you're on the right track. Even deeper, you want to be validated. You want to feel like you're not wasting your time. You want to feel like your work is valuable. "YC is like the ultimate validation that you're on to something." - Lauren Kay, Dating RingIf you're building a business, there's only one way to validate that your product idea is good: are people paying money for it? The only two people who can give you real feedback about your product are people who just purchased it and people who just canceled. - Jason Fried (as told to Dan Shipper)Also, Jason Cohen says: First, find ten people who say they’ll buy.Current project: I'm working on a book: Marketing for Developers Show notes Startup Podcast, Season 2, Episode 2My interview with Rob Walling on Product PeopleFollow me on Twitter: @mijustinRate and review the showJoin the newsletterA version of this will be up on my blog soon: justinjackson.caPodcast hosting provided by Transistor.fm.

    Justin also gives sneak peek of his new book: Marketing for Developers. The mantra of this show has always been: "Start small and start now."Two common mistakes product people make We try to build ideas that are too bigWe don't start building right awayAll the stuff that leads up to getting started doesn't count. The only thing that matters is the work.Writing Tip We often make our writing too flowery and formal. Here's a way to make your writing sound more "human:" read it out loud. When you read your writing out loud, you'll know right away when something doesn't feel right.

    EP24: How do we create things people want?

    How do you know what people want? After spending 24 hours in the mini-van with 4 kids, Justin is back from the Easter long-weekend and ready to update us on his progress on this week's project: "Marketing for Developers." Project update You'd think that I would learn my lesson: in order to do these week-long sprints, plus record and edit this podcast, plus do my day job, I really can't have anything else on my plate. But, like an idiot, I scheduled this Season of the podcast while I was going to be away in Alberta on a 4 day road-trip.Not sure if I'm going to make the Thursday deadline, but I'm still hoping to make a serious dent in writing this book: Marketing for Developers.Three ways to validate your product idea 1. Email 15 people in your niche and ask them if they'd pay for your product. This is the approach that Rob Walling used when he validated his idea for Drip: I emailed 17 SaaS owners that I know, and I said "I'm thinking about building this product: would you use this? Would you pay me for this?" And out of those 17, I got 11 people who said yes.2. Use a landing page with an email sign-up form People giving you their email address is one proxy for gauging interest. This is what Nathan Barry did with his first book: There's intention there. When you say "Sign-up to hear more about this book." The assumption there is that you're signing up because you want to buy it.3. Do a webinar A third way to validate your idea comes from Brennan Dunn. He thinks that doing a live webinar is a great first step. It's way easier to do a webinar (and see if anyone's interested) than write a book, or create software.

    EP23: Face your fears

    The theme for this episode is "facing your fears." Was Justin able to re-launch Product People Club? He talks to more of his existing customers to discover what jobs they're hiring the Club for. “Do one thing every day that scares you.” - Eleanor RooseveltThis week's project: Product People Club. You can see it it here: megamaker.co Next week's project: Marketing for Developers I started writing this book in January, 2014, but never finished it. The idea had lots of traction (over 2,200 people signed up for the waiting list). I still gets messages every week from people who want the book. It's one of those projects that continually hangs over my head. This week, I'm going to finish it.
