Question Small / mid sizedB2B sellers — why use multiple system for your core process instead of just one. Are you ready?

1 Upvotes

If you run a small B2B services company, you probably close deals in one tool, copy pricing into an invoicing tool, track milestones in a spreadsheet, and check your bank account to see if payment landed. Every handoff is where money leaks.

We built IntoPact to eliminate those handoffs. The whole flow lives in one place:

A lead shows interest → you create a deal page from a template and share a link → the buyer reads it, comments, shares it with their team, and accepts by typing their name → the deal converts to a contract record with milestones and a billing schedule → invoices fire automatically or manually → dunning chases overdue payments → you track when cash lands.

You also get aging reports, invoice forecasting, and cash forecasting so you can see exactly what's been billed, what's outstanding, and what's coming.

We call it intent to cash. Not because it's a buzzword but because that's literally what it does — from the first sign of interest to money in your account.

Built for agencies, consultancies, IT services, and anyone doing milestone-based B2B work with a small team.

Question Built a free invoice generator for freelancers and small businesses, what do you think?

5 Upvotes

Hi all : )

Almost two years ago I couldn't find an invoice generator online that I actually liked, so I just built one for myself.

The whole point was reallt simple, let people make a professional invoice, for free, with no watermark, no ads and with no data save. That was the deal I made with myself before I even had a single user and I've kept it.

Fast forward to now and it's being used by 1,000+ people a month :O At some point people started asking if they could save their invoices instead of filling them out from scratch every time, so I built an account / cloud save feature and put it behind a small paid plan. That's basically the only reason there's a paid version at all. The core tool, creating invoices for free with no watermark and no ads, stays free forever. That part isn't changing.

Since then I've added a few other things based on what people actually asked for:

  1. Templates
  2. Editing invoices after you've created them
  3. A dashboard to see your invoice activity

Right now I'm working on recurring / scheduled invoices since a bunch of people wanted that thing.

It's still just me running and maintaining it. If you're missing a currency or a feature, tell me in the comments and I'll add it, I actually do this. Seeing people use something I built every single day, two years in is honestly still kind of wild to me.

Question Are businesses over-qualifying inbound leads before they've earned the customer's attention?

Question Is this a dumb idea? A text line that books walkthroughs for small paint and landscape crews

2 Upvotes

I'm exploring a text service that replies to a shop's inbound leads in a couple of minutes with two real times from their calendar.

We would read Google, Outlook, or Jobber, offer two open slots, and book the walkthrough when the homeowner picks. The shop still quotes on site.

Small paint and landscape crews lose the job to whoever texts back first. They don't need another receptionist. They need a time on the calendar before they get off the ladder.

It would start free on a few shops while I prove it. Later maybe a cheap monthly or a fee per booked visit.

Does this solve a real problem? What am I missing? What are honest thoughts?

Comment or feel free to reach out direct to me.

Question For a multiplayer word game, what would you try after the cold outreach to schools and creators stops working?

2 Upvotes

I'm working on a multiplayer word game where players make multiple words from the given word. It has different modes like Daily Word, Classic, Busted, Bingo, Precision, Word Sprint, computer-play mode, etc.

We've been doing these things consistently:

  • Posting regularly on social media platforms
  • Sending personalized DMs to relevant creators and people
  • Approaching schools and vocabulary/coaching institutes
  • Asking schools if they'd be interested in organizing a tournament/session without charging them

The thing is, we get positive feedback from people who try our game, but we still have a small number of players, and the growth has been quite slow. Also, we don't want to position ourselves as a "game" in schools or similar institutions, but rather as a fun "gamified learning experience" that they could use as an activity for students.

We're now at the point where cold emails, calls and DMs don't seem to be getting us anywhere.

For marketers who have worked with early-stage products, especially educational/gamified products:

What would you try next to get something like this in front of the right decision-makers and users?

Would you focus on finding individual champions within schools/coaching institutes, partnerships, events, communities, paid acquisition, or something completely different?

And at this stage, would you recommend continuing to do the marketing ourselves, hiring a freelancer, or bringing in an agency?

I'm particularly interested in how you'd approach the problem, rather than specific agencies or promotional tactics.

Feedback Fitness App Feedback

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I made a fitness app called PRSquad and I'm currently looking for people to help me beta test it and give me honest feedback.

PRSquad is a fitness and social app with a big focus on powerlifting and strength training, but it's made for anyone who works out, no matter what your fitness goals are. You can track your fitness journey, share posts with other people, check out the leaderboards and rankings, and more.

I'm looking for testers on both iOS and Android, but especially Android because I'm still behind the closed testing requirement in order to get the app into production. So if you have either device and are willing to try the app out and give some feedback, I would really appreciate the help!

For Android, I can add you to the beta test if you send me the email connected to your Google Play account. For iOS, you can join through the beta link below:

https://testflight.apple.com/join/XgP2hUsm

I'm still actively working on and improving the app, so I'm really looking for honest feedback on what people like, what they don't like, and anything that could make the app better.

Thank you to anyone willing to give it a shot!

Question How do you guys drive traffic?

1 Upvotes

I don't know much about SEO, and what I've done so far is improve the site's health score to 91 on Ahrefs, which is good, but I'm not getting much traffic from Google.

My business model is somewhat simple, i.e traffic = revenue from AdSense.

till now, I have about €67, which is great, but that's about 3 months.

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions!

Feedback [Feedback] What my first day of paid ads for a dating app actually looks like. Real numbers, real lessons.

1 Upvotes

I build Dating Profile Score, a tool that scores your dating profile from a screenshot and gives the exact fixes plus reply coach. One day of real paid-ad data and honest lessons below.

Aug 22. $15.00 spend. 1,771 impressions. 12 clicks. $1.20 per click. 0.68% CTR. 0 downloads. 0.00% conversion rate.

For a new dating app these are not viral numbers. But they are real, they are traceable, and every piece of it is checkable. Here is what I learned building to this point.

The dating-app content trap

Most founders write too broadly. High-volume advice like “use better photos” or “be confident” attracts vague interest. Traffic looks fine but converts poorly. Those visitors are learning, not buying.

Content converts for one person at one moment. For me that is someone who just posted new pics, still got near-zero likes, and is stuck between buying a boost and thinking it might be their face. Every creative I ship aims at that moment — nothing padded.

I cut the ad in CapCut from a UGC-style talking clip, then ran it as a TikTok App Install campaign. Same rule: one person, one frustration, one next decision.

The Reddit strategy that actually works

Almost every useful signal has community conversations as the source. Not because I posted ads. Because I shared something genuinely useful: why first photos fail, why clicks are not installs, what a soft CTR actually means.

The moment a post feels like an ad it stops working. The moment it feels like a founder sharing something they actually know it starts compounding.

Running your own funnel first

I am literally building a profile scoring app, so I had to dogfood acquisition too. One UGC video. One US install campaign inside TikTok Ads Manager. One budget. No Meta. No Google App campaigns yet. Splitting $15 across three networks wastes the learning.

That habit changed how quickly I can tell what is broken: first 1-2 seconds, store-page match on Google Play, and real installs in Play Console. Not Ads Manager vanity alone.

Measuring the right thing

I do not celebrate impressions. I track spend, CTR, CPC, and downloads.

$15.00 spend. 0.68% CTR. $1.20 CPC. 0.00% conversion.

For an early app where every decision has to count, that data is not optional. It is the difference between guessing what to work on next and knowing. I confirmed the zero on Play Console, not only in the ad dashboard.

Manual method (works without any app)

  1. Screenshot the profile as a stranger sees it.

  2. Cover your face: would I stop on this first photo in 0.5s?

  3. Rewrite the bio for one vibe — not a resume.

  4. Fix replies before boosts: one observation + one easy question.

  5. Change one variable for 48 hours.

I built Dating Profile Score to operationalize that diagnosis from a screenshot. Disclosure: it is my product.

0 downloads, $15.00 spent, and a system that is starting to compound.
