Start to build something...

It's time to build something. I've been working for more than 20 years, and my life feels like a loop: wake up, go to the office, come home and have a little hobby time on the weekends.

I want to challenge myself to build something meaningful for my life, my family, my country or even the world.

I like to code and believe in the power of Generative AI to make our world better.

What's the first thing I should work on?

Hi CodeMancer.IO,

Here’s an approach I would suggest:

  1. Brainstorm about the problems you notice around you. Try to be as specific as possible.
  2. Identify the people who experience these problems. Again, aim for specificity.
  3. Reach out to these people and ask if you can interview them. What are their concerns and pain points? Focus on truly understanding their needs.
  4. Combine your strengths, coding skills, and perhaps generative AI with the insights from your interviews.
  5. Build a landing page with a lead magnet, such as a quiz (for data) or an exclusive offer, to gauge interest.
  6. Use Google Ads or social media to drive traffic to your landing page.
  7. Analyze the performance of your lead magnet and decide if it's worth building a MVP.
  8. Develop a compelling offer, value proposition, and price point.

Let me know if this is helpful—I’d be happy to assist you further.

Best regards,
Bram
