My lessons from building 8 apps in 7 months

Hey, it’s Sabyr.

Here is what I learned:

1. Do market research before building.

You can use Google Keyword Planner / social media, and outreach to ideal customers. Analyze trends, volume, and existing solutions. Stand out among your competitors.

2. Don't listen to hate or bad feedback

Don't take it personally. People are jealous. Think about it as fuel. If you do something and there is hate. Means you are on the right path.

3. Send more emails to your customers

You will learn a lot from it. Just send one more email. Ask them about their problem. Focus on them. Solve their problems. Use less "I" instead "you".

4. If you failed, just accept it

No one cares to be honest. It is okay to accept failures. If you don't fail, you don't try. The more you fail, the more chances you get to win. Only learn from it.

5. Less is more

Instead of having 10 different channels. Focus on 3 channels. If you build B2B, focus on Linkedin, cold emails and SEO. If you build B2C, focus on TikTok, Instagram and Youtube.

6. Critical listening

If you want to drive a Ferrari, ask Ferrari's owner, not Toyota's owner. I made a lot of mistakes just by asking the wrong people. It is better to have one person as a mentor than ten wrong people.

7. Patience

Work hard on the right things, do daily, talk to the right people, and show up daily. That's it. It will guarantee you be patient with results and impatient with taking actions.
