New social platforms are popping up like flies, but the professional networking niche has become dated. Jeremy Chatelaine of Quickmail.io chats with us about disrupting industry behemoths, when to pivot, and the future of crypto.
Show Notes
Nuggets:
- The competitor software you create for early adopters may appeal by solving a specific complaint they have about the dominant solution. Later other’s will join just to join the crowd.
Action Steps:
- Investigate why people log in to LinkedIn; prioritize those functions in the new platform
- Conversely, research what are the biggest complaints people have about LinkedIn
- Research economics of Steemit
- Choose a niche hungry for connection
- Experiment with the incentive structure and pivot as necessary
