I get enthusiastic about ideas daily but eventually I dont execute it as I feel it will end up in failure. The fear maybe due to my past experiences as I tried 2-3 side projects/MVP that didn't picked up much traction. I eventually shut them down. Now I feel I dont have courage to do it again.
How do you move past this mind-block and try once again?
So, your life intuition is telling you to not do it again: and it is right.
Learn first how to win customers. Prior to that you are not qualified to build a business successfully.
You can ask specific questions on that topic here, because a lot of know how in that area is on HN. But be specific, otherwise nobody can help you.
So, short answer to your question: Don't. Don't cope with a signal from your psyche, but interpret it right.
The signal is clear, product isn't good enough. I also think, Maybe the target customer is someone else and not who i thought. I have so many questions who only prospective buyer can answer.
I will just write all the problems I see at first glance, I try to acknowledge what you wrote here on HN.
1) When I read the parent I first thought "xyzdevs.com" was your way of obfuscating your domain in order to stay anonymous. That's how a bad a brand that one is. This name will never, ever be taken serious.
1.a) The whole site looks like a github or so. This is the best way to make sure no business type will take you serious.
1.b) The stock photography on the site just makes it worse. Unless you show photos from you, your team, your office, etc you just look like a scam.
1.c) No real business contact. Just a "feedback" form, which is not a form but a sort of a box I don't even know. No phone number. Nothing. All that says: it's probably a scam. Until you read "Wyoming" in the footer, than you think, I don't know what, just "Coyotes!" or so? (I am not from the U.S.A., btw.)
2) Hiring coders based on tech stacks is a worthwhile offer. The main problem I see here is a severe lack of clarity in communicating the offer.
2.a) "bring your startup idea to life" does mean what you think it means only to one single group: nil.
2.a.1) People who think themselves as entrepreneurs who are running a startup do usually hire people as full time employees.
2.a.2) All other people who hire developers in any capacity do not think of themselves as "startup" anything.
2.b) Instead of talking about "startup" you should observe what language the people who hire devs from marketplaces use.
2.c) I still have no idea what it actually is that I can buy on your site. Can I hire people on a per hour basis? Do I get employees? What am I actually buying? Or is there something to buy? It's not clear. at. all.
3) The listed devs show no photsos either. They are represented by a "screenshot" of their "work"? What? This ist almost not recognizable as what it is. Scam, must be a scam.
4) You seem to expect that I "hire" one of these screenshots by hitting a green retangle with a number on it? Or am I mistaken? (Again 'what?')
Okay, I don't want to go fruther. You probably get the idea.
Now, regarding your outreach in order to sell…
First, it's good in general, that you have an idea what could be done.
If you have read the above it should be clear to you why that is that neither LinkedIn PM nor GoogleAds resulted in any sales.
What you have to do is to get a clear idea, who exactly should by what exactly. What exactly is it that you offer? I am still not clear on this. A screenshot gets pais 2000$ by me and then?
Who needs that?
So, you want to find clients for developers. That's the general thing you are doing here.
Okay, then tell me: who wants to buy that? In the exact form you are offering it.
If you can tell me that, than you will have mastered the next step.
Because all the above, the name of the brand, the site layout, requirements etc it all hinges on that.
> Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.
