Afrah123··on Beta Testers Needed for StockTwits Alternative
I would love to reach out to YOU (if possible).

I’m not looking to join an existing company. I’ve already built my platform. I’m looking for users to beta test for me.

Wow, that sounds like quite an investment for a Discord room! I'd love for you to explore our platform as well. Send me a message on Twitter (@afrahtweets), and I'll be happy to provide you with an opportunity to try out our platform and see how it compares to your current Discord experience

Exactly, you've captured the essence of our goal! I appreciate your interest, feel free to send me a message on Twitter (@afrahtweets), and I'll be thrilled to get you started as a beta user to explore this functionality firsthand.

I totally get your disbelief, but it's a real thing! Experienced traders share their strategies and ideas online and many are making bank! Whether their trades are successful or not is a different question - that's why I'm creating my platform as a way to verify traders' performance before joining their paid community.

What I meant to say was "they run their own signals servers on platforms like discords".

There is more interest from individuals without an audience on our waitlist than ones already with servers that are already making money.

I know of several traders in various online communities, outside of our platform, who are already successfully earning tens of thousands of dollars per month by promoting themselves on Discord and Telegram servers.

It's this demonstrated success and the enthusiastic interest from traders that inspired the creation of this platform. We have a growing waitlist of traders who are eager to leverage our platform as a secondary income source.

This platform offers a unique opportunity for top traders to monetize their expertise directly through the platform. Unlike Public, where users primarily invest in stocks and ETFs, we enable traders to earn income by sharing their insights/trades.

It's a microblogging site to see what others are buying and selling, and to learn from their content, not just blindly copy each trade in real time trade. You don't have to "react" to any trades.

But I totally understand, not a problem ezero :)

Your concern is valid. For top traders, the platform provides an additional revenue stream ($$$) through subscriptions from users who value their expertise.

At the same time, less experienced traders can access valuable insights, creating a win-win dynamic where "legitimate traders" are rewarded for their knowledge, and others gain insights/real time trades to enhance their trading skills.

Would you like to try out the platform?

Due to the limited word count in the Hacker News submission, I couldn't include all the details I wanted. To give you a better understanding, this is my first startup venture. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Commerce with a focus on accounting. During my university years, I successfully started and ran a tutoring business that generated revenue to support my lifestyle throughout that time.

As I am non-technical, I am still in the early stages of product development, and thus do not have revenue at the moment. However, I have been actively engaging with potential users since April of this year. My efforts have resulted in collecting 500 email addresses from individuals who have shown keen interest in joining our waitlist. Additionally, 10% of our waitlist have come together to raise $5,000 in support of our MVP development. These supporters will make up our early adopters and are testament to the demand for our product.

I have identified the necessary MVP specifications and have set a specific launch deadline to deliver the very first version of our platform.

I hope this provides you with a better understanding of my background and the progress I have made so far. If you have any further questions or would like to discuss the startup in more detail, I would be happy to connect.

• Our platform focuses on social interaction, learning, and community-building, in contrast to the automated replication approach of the platform you shared.

• We showcase actual trading performance rather than relying on simulated or hypothetical results.

• Unlike the platform you mentioned, we do not require any initial investment into a brokerage account, we have no financial prerequisites for both traders and subscribers on our platform. We provide a unique (free) opportunity for traders to monetize their expertise. At the same time, subscribers can learn, engage, and potentially benefit from the invaluable expertise of our traders, without the burden of a large upfront financial commitment.

Absolutely, I agree that signals play a crucial role in trading. However, it's important to recognize that the trader behind those signals also brings their unique expertise and experience to the table. At our platform, we believe in creating a win-win situation for both traders and subscribers. Simply sharing the details of a trade without acknowledging the trader wouldn't be fair.

That's why we go beyond just providing signals and give traders the opportunity to monetize their knowledge and expertise. By allowing them to build paid communities and share their insights, we empower traders to showcase their skills and earn money from their valuable knowledge. This not only benefits the traders but also provides subscribers with access to verified traders and the potential to learn from their expertise.
