🛠️ For Builders
Define Your Target User Clearly
Before browsing users, write down exactly who you're looking for. What job do they have? What industry? What specific problem should they face? The clearer your criteria, the better your matches.
Prepare Questions in Advance
Write 5-10 open-ended questions before each interview. Focus on understanding the problem, not validating your solution. Let the conversation flow naturally, but have your questions as a guide.
Do Multiple Interviews
One interview isn't enough. Patterns emerge after 5-8 conversations. If you hear the same problem from multiple users, you're onto something real.
Take Notes and Review
Record calls (with permission) and take notes. After each interview, write down your top 3 insights immediately. Review all your notes weekly to spot patterns.
💰 For Users
Complete Your Profile Thoroughly
The more detail you provide about your job, industry, and frustrations, the more likely builders will request interviews with you. A detailed "rant" section is especially valuable.
Respond Quickly to Requests
Builders often need to move fast. If you respond to requests within 24 hours, you're more likely to get booked. Set up notifications so you don't miss requests.
Be Available at Multiple Times
The more availability you offer, the easier it is for builders to book you. Consider offering some evening or weekend slots if your schedule allows.
Be Genuine in Interviews
Don't try to tell builders what you think they want to hear. Your honest frustrations and real experiences are exactly what they're paying for. The more genuine you are, the more valuable the conversation.
