Peernuts Blogging before Coding

Step #1: A short blog post 10-question poll No code AT ALL


20/41

Peernuts Market shrinking

Step #2: Is your market really big and totally bullish? If yes,

youre missing the point. If its big thats too big.

Start shrinking your market! Started with DVD


21/41

Peernuts Feature Burner

Test #3: Ask yourself if you have more than 3 features. If yes,

youre too fat . 3 features:

a movie listing powered by an external movie database a loan dashboard a friend system coupled with Facebook connect and a basic

mail invitation No rating system, no wish list, no recommendation, no

notification, no privacy setting NOOOOO!!!


22/41

Peernuts No designer

Step #4: First product ship objective is to learn , learn, and

learn. Dont depress if you dont have a wonderful logo.

It looks weird but if you dont care, it will just befine!

Remember : you dont need the perfect productbut a working prototype .


23/41

Peernuts Procrastination Did you postpone

product ship for the3rd time? If yes, stop

messing around.Release it! Learn with your

customers > Refineuseless aspects of your product


24/41

Peernuts - Conclusion Right now: Peernuts doesnt work. But: we have a great feedback on the service we are

building Will we add features? NO

Increase customer performance Will we start massive communication? NO

Wait until the virality rate > 1 Will we work on our market? YES

We dont have the correct positioning yet. Is it okay to not consider any business model for the

moment?
