Hey Hunters, I wrote the FOCUS Framework - excited to be here and happy to chat about it. That said I kinda wanna try something... Anyone want feedback on their startup? In the comments, or via twitter, shoot me: 1. One sentence describing your customer. 2. One sentence describing the problem your customer has that you're solving (in their words). 3. A link to your landing page/website 4. The biggest challenge you're facing I'll try to reply with a 5 minute feedback video calling out what looks great on your landing page and 1 or 2 things you should consider testing for your next experiment. Here's an example: 1. Customer: Homeowners 2. Problem: "My energy bill is too high" 3. Link: http://neptunehomes.instapage.com/ 4. My Biggest Challenge: figuring out if customers will pay for this service My feedback video:

Should be fun! - Justin PS - Oh, and, the coupon code "PHOCUS" will get you $20 off FOCUS today.

@matijasosic Here you go!

Great job. Next step is to identify where speakers who want more leads are already searching for solutions to their problems. Toastmasters maybe?

1. Customer: Startups, freelancers, makers 2. Problem: It’s hard and quite confusing to validate idea and get some feedback 3. Link: www.testifylab.com 4. My biggest challenge: getting enough people with different interest eager to give feedback on someone idea so that everyone who want test idea get at least a few feedback

@gtprocky here you go Rocky!

I think there's a real problem here, just need to niche to find it. Next step: Identify one type of freelancer to hone in on and interview.
