When you learn to ignore 👊

When you learn to ignore 👊

May 31, 2025

Hi Doers! ✨

We often think growth is about learning more, doing more, saying yes more.
But real progress?
It’s usually the result of what you choose not to engage with.

Distraction is the enemy of depth.
When you master what to ignore, you finally make space for what matters.

So this week—filter the noise. Focus on your path.
That’s where your momentum lives. 🎯

💡 Micro SaaS Idea: Quiet Launch Dashboard

Problem:
Most creators either launch too loudly too soon or wait too long to share. They don’t have a simple system to quietly test their offer with real people—before committing to a full launch.

Solution:
Quiet Launch Dashboard is a private tool for soft-launching your idea to a small audience before going public.
Send out a landing page or offer link, track clicks, gather feedback, and refine your pitch—all behind the scenes.

Let’s build it. 🚀

🏆 Your Action Plan 🏆

🔧 Step 1: Research Smart

Look into tools like Gumroad, Carrd, and ConvertKit for how creators launch—but focus on pre-launch behaviors
Talk to indie hackers, course creators, freelancers:
→ Have you ever launched too soon?
→ What would make testing an idea feel safer + smarter?

🔧 Step 2: Cool Features

Private Launch Page Builder: Simple, branded link to share with test users (email + CTA + value prop)
Smart Link Tracking: See who clicked, how many times, and where they dropped off
Feedback Capture: Mini-form or emoji slider to collect instant feedback
Email Whitelist: Only people with invite links can access the offer
Launch Readiness Score: Based on engagement + feedback
Follow-up Emails: Schedule emails to re-engage testers

🔧 Step 3: Build It

Use Next.js or Webflow ( or my fav Lovable) for front-end landing pages
Firebase or Supabase to track visitor behavior
Add custom link analytics and a simple form builder
Optional integrations: Notion, Airtable, ConvertKit for follow-ups
Launch MVP with 3 templates:
→ Test a product
→ Test a course
→ Test a membership idea

🔧 Step 4: Sell It

Offer a free tier with one private launch + basic analytics
Paid plan unlocks full link data, custom branding, and feedback scoring
Market to:
→ Newsletter writers validating a paid tier
→ Indie hackers testing new SaaS ideas
→ Coaches soft-launching group programs
Share success stories like:
→ “Validated my $49 course before even making it—with 14 clicks + 5 real buyers.”
