Running out of savings just as getting close to traction

4 pointsby raheemmover 10 years ago
In roughly 30 days, I will run out of savings and the ability to bootstrap my app - www.rewardcamp.com<p>But just as I’m running out of cash, I’m also gaining a bit of traction - inked a deal to onboard 50 new paying customers recently. But I gave big discounts to win the deal and so the revenue is nowhere near enough to pay for expenses.<p>To earn cash, I’d like to solve your problems in marketing&#x2F;sales. These are skills I picked up over the last 2 years. Below is a list of issues I can help you with.<p>Contact me via this form (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.google.com&#x2F;forms&#x2F;d&#x2F;1MG8jdMOcNbKrvPw64hlW40sqged0_JaEJaO9Aa3KOOc&#x2F;viewform) | 917-942-9499 | rsarcar at gmail dot com | comments below<p>Problems I can help with --&gt;<p>Problem: No one knows about your app&#x2F;website.

Don&#x27;t give discounts because that devalues your own product, and says that not even you believe the service is wroth what you are charging.

What does your app do exactly? I didn&#x27;t get that from the website.
