I am running a start-up with a novel D2C product (www.Legends.Solar) — I plan on raising a seed fund to finance further development and growth at the end of summer and want to spend just enough resources on paid social ads to be able to characterize our potential ROI on ad spent to investors a few quarters from now. I’ve spoken to a few paid social marketers, but they’ve basically said they would poke around with different content and audiences and see what happens. Not good enough - I need process and metrics I can share with investors confidently. Is my approach right here? Do I just have to bite the bullet and hire a consultancy for this type of work? Is there a freelancer that could do this? Would love to hear the communities thoughts.

Hey everyone, one question. 👋 We're considering implementing affiliate program in our SaaS business. My question would be: Do you think it's better to start with a free plan of affiliate program or with paid? I'm always voting for free first, until you optimize enough to scale. My only worry in this case, is free plan usually good enough so we can start or there are big limits so we won't be able to test? Thanks in advance!

So my CEO presented me (the content marketing manager) with an idea recently Our site is just about to go live and he proposed the idea of only part revealing our blog content. Readers can only view the full blog if they sign up to our list. Our list will give access to exclusive NFT opportunities and (of course) signing people up to a newsletter. Initially I thought this could be a great idea but then I realised that you don’t see this done all the time so maybe it's not that effective. Maybe it would just hinder the sharing of our blog posts. Another equally important thing we want to make happen. Any thoughts guys?

So a little bit of background on my situation. I am currently on summer break, I'm a college student who's going for architecture,and I am really trying to get to a design firm, I'm going for more sustainable and green energy architecture (we're going to need it soon). However, because I'm going to school and I don't have my license, I literally legally can't call myself an architect nor open a design firm. but I want to still have a business and I do still need an outlet to be creative. So last winter I put two and two together and I decided I'm going to make a streetwear company( kind of like how supreme started or thrasher), now I finally got the foundation all that set for it but I don't have any feedings/clothes out yet. I'm working on making those things now, but I had an epiphany recently that I am not going to have any form of success unless I have people that are willing to purchase the things I make and how do people buy things they have to make a choice on whether to buy it and what do you have to do before you make a choice before you even know it exists? You have to see it, and ads are a good way to see it. My dilemma however comes in at where and how do I get ads? I'm super new to this (As you can maybe guess by the fact I haven't been on slack in like almost 2 years) and any and all advice would be appreciated -Roman

I have a question, why are most people going on Product Hunt for launching their service ? What are the benefits ?

Potentially dumb question: Does a lead magnet always have to be a piece of content? Or at least some kind of instantly accessible deliverable? Working with a client who’s offering priority access to some NFTs as the lead magnet. Initially I felt this was fine but then began to question it. The prospect is still receiving value by signing up but since it’s not an instant win I’m now questioning it.

Why do I have a feeling people are not taking action on Linkedin (outreach), but just email? They actually tell me they are interested to book a call, but never book it...and there is a link in the message. This happened to many times to be coincidence!

Hey all! As our team at Together Software goes into Q3 my managers asked me if I had a list of keywords we wanted to prioritize getting into the top 3 positions. Admittedly, I didn’t. Is this a common practice? How do you go about managing those super important keywords for your company? • A spreadsheet with all of them and your ranking on it? • Ahrefs rank tracker?
