It took me 2 hours to build my MVP which was a single page with some links. Those links contained information that allowed people to make money. People had to buy access to those links. A lot of people did and that is when I knew I was on to something. Since then I have worked on a lot of things, but that is my most favorite story so far. Thank you for sharing this article and inspiring others to start their business.

We own businesses, are entrepreneurs and would love to network also. Clubhouse leaves out a huge demographic because of this. Pushing platforms like this is harmful.

Hey Lindsey, Thanks for your question. Dave has the following to help you out: Ok, that's a fairly involved situation and without knowing all the specifics it's tricky to give advice, but I'll do what I can over comments. First thing - What was the commonality between the first 2x sponsors you landed? If you can dig a little deeper, map out an avatar, how they found you and why they signed up... that's a great starting point to build a list of similar potential leads. If you can model this early success - great;. However I assume you have tried this. Second thing - Not knowing the logic behind your rates. More than rates, you need to think about what value you are bringing them and what problem do you solve for them - and what is that worth to them? Overall - I would look at this from a funnel point of view. You need to diagnose the issue. Is it leads (not enough), is it first contact, the second, or is it the sales conversation/conversion? Find out where you are going wrong, and focus there. Eg. If you don't have enough prospects and people to talk to... start there. If people aren't replying to your messages... start there etc. So start at top of the process, and trouble-shoot your way down. Hope this helps!]]> In reply to Lindsey Thorsheim.

Hey Lindsey,

Thanks for your question. Dave has the following to help you out:
Ok, that’s a fairly involved situation and without knowing all the specifics it’s tricky to give advice, but I’ll do what I can over comments.

First thing –
What was the commonality between the first 2x sponsors you landed? If you can dig a little deeper, map out an avatar, how they found you and why they signed up… that’s a great starting point to build a list of similar potential leads. If you can model this early success – great;. However I assume you have tried this.

Second thing –
Not knowing the logic behind your rates. More than rates, you need to think about what value you are bringing them and what problem do you solve for them – and what is that worth to them?

Overall –
I would look at this from a funnel point of view. You need to diagnose the issue. Is it leads (not enough), is it first contact, the second, or is it the sales conversation/conversion?
