Hi Guys, see if you can help me with great ideas. We at LastBasic are pivoting from a Marketplace to a Market Network and launching a new platform on June 21st 🤞. We have opened a pre-registration landing page for the first “innovators” to request access to the platform - so far, so good, but we want more. We have no marketing budget so we cannot do paid advertisement 😪 So all we can do is engage with potential innovators on SoMe by publishing posts on Linkedin in linkeding groups that we’ve identified and our own LastBasic profile - but this is 100% organic and very slow. I need to grow the number of registrations much faster and I need good ideas. We’re doing: • webscrapping on Indiegogo and Kickstarter • SoMe postings on identified groups and on our own profile • Identified specific platforms, like Behance, where we impact on some of the stakeholders Any ideas that you may want to share that I’m missing out on? Remember that we have no money, that we’re focusing on innovators who are not afraid to test and #BeOneOfTheFirst and that the platform is not ready yet. Thanks in advance PD - would you also want to #BeOneOfTheFirst? http://join.lastbasic.com/?c=luis

@Luis O'Cleiry Are you able to provide more information on the Market Network?

Sure @Ankit Why We believe that invention-creation should be accessible to everyone with an idea. We believe that inventions are the key to solving some of the world’s most pressing challenges, including climate change, healthcare, and poverty among many more. How By providing easy and affordable access to building invention ideas, we empower innovators to create solutions that will make a real difference in people’s lives. We are committed to providing these services at an affordable cost so that everyone can benefit from the power of creation, discovery and contribution. Our goal is to create a playing field for all stakeholders, so that they can compete on the basis of their capabilities. What LastBasic is an open ecosystem that empowers ideas and innovators to bring inventions to life. Value proposition We are open to everyone: Anyone can create their idea with LastBasic We are an economic solution, users can go from a free creation (open source) to an affordable one We put the inventor in contact with all the stakeholders involved in his/her entrepreneurial career We offer a multidisciplinary process in a one-stop-shop We are the only creation, discovery and contribution network in the world for inventions

How do I build invention ideas using lastbasic? Sorry, just trying to understand this

You register. You create a project in your personal folder. You can get help from AI to do so You make it public You create a challenge so that experts (product designers and engineers) work on designs This transaction can be free or paid You move on in the product dev process until you get to the prototyping phase where you turn your idea into a functional prototype. Hope this is clear 😉

Yes, now I understand, and this idea is incredible. I got lost in the whole why, how, what thing to a point that I lost my self 3 times and forced myself to understand it. Yet, I couldn't. With what you just explained, right now, I could actually imagine myself using your product and how it would feel. This is awesome. Could it be the same issue other people are facing?

Hi, thanks for the explanation, it is more clear now! Quick question, your platform it is only for designers or developers? Or It could work for Product Managers that are really good defining strategy?

Hi Michael, platform’s open to all actors that can be involved in the entrepreneurial career of an inventor, so yes, why not a product Manager to help the inventor design and deliver the go-to-market?

Hey @Luis O'Cleiry, organic marketing is the best form of marketing to grow your audience. Though it takes time, you just have to be patient with it because of the long-term value. One of the things to add is email marketing especially for prospects signing up from on your pre-registration landing page. It is important to keep them engaged with newsletters and information that they need rather than just leaving them out. Again, utilise the power of social media to spread more information about your product especially channels that align with your product and target audience. Consistently posting and building your follower base is very important.

Thank you for your insight @Ifeoma Ilechukwu. I agree, it is useful but takes time (time that we don’t really have 😅).

Yea, I understand the process can be long but considering the present circumstances, you only have to wait it out
