Can you link to specific posts you’ve made in relevant communities for poker and/or startups asking for feedback or discussion about your ideas? If they get 1k+ views then I’d expect at least one or two leads to come out of such a post.
I was thinking about it some more last night. It feels like I DMed a lot of people, but the number isn’t quite in the hundreds, I don’t think. Maybe it’s just a numbers game and you really actually have to reach out to hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people. But at least on forums, that could be tough, because you could get flagged/banned for spamming.
I think many of the people who were commenting in your threads would have been up to let you interview them in a video chat if you’d DM’d them at the time. I don’t think it should take more than 10 DMs to get a video interview with this kind of approach.
Perhaps. At the time what held me back was not wanting to be spammy, but as we talked about, I think I was being too shy. Next time I’m going to jump at those sorts of opportunities, so thanks for helping me realize that, amongst other things.
