Hi all!
This is Craig -- the Co-Founder/CEO of Proplay, a marketplace for online learning communities that help you achieve your professional goals. So…… we launched the Beta!!!! Sooooo flippppinnnn exciiiiiiting. Wooo! Sorry had to get that out. It’s been a long road to get actual users using this app. So…..
What happened these past 2 week
Once the Beta launched we worked furiously to get users into the app. Here’s what I did. First I went to a d line account on Instagram called Five Star Lineman (since we are targeting defensive lineman ages 15-25). Then, I went to this account’s followers and started following all users who I thought live in the US or Canadian citizens. Once these people started following me back I slid into their DMs and sent them this message…
It actually turned out pretty good and they responded with messages like this..
So I’m still figuring out how to put together an actionable dashboard for metrics, but here are some of the results from our labors so far.
As we get further into this I will be posting more comprehensive dashboards that can give a whole lot more reliable data, but I sure am excited to have some data at all!
Lastly, we have added another cofounder to our team!! I have know Abraham Nnaji since starting at SkipTheDishes and after testing out the relationship with him we have are making it official! He is an extremely talented and driven full stack javascript developer that will allow us to move even faster.
What’s happening these next 2 weeks
Will keep getting more users into the app
Post more videos
Test upcoming chat feature with chat MVP
Requests
I would love to start a mastermind group with other founders to meet weekly. If you know any founders that would be open to this it would be great to get into touch with them.
I also am looking to get into contact with more people who have eLearning or marketplace expertise who would be interested in mentoring.
Thank you all for your continued support and if there is anyway I can help any of you with any of your endeavors please let me know!
