Hello 👋
I'm a climber and outdoor enthusiast building a brand of gym bags for rock climbers - Megabeta Climbing
We are running a campaign to collect leads ahead of our kickstarter launch in May, so no product or discount code available (yet).
I'm teaching myself Meta ads and analytics, with some help from ChatGPT for any Shopify code integrations. Getting better every day.

Would love to hear more about the kickstarter experience. I was planning out a brand of chilli flavoured water called H2OT water years back and the plan was to launch with kickstarter. Never got it past our first samples though as we had other commitments

Oh, interesting - hot water! Yeah, the kickstarter route lets you fully test a product idea and even receive funding before you need to place an order. Very handy for bootstrapping. One person recommended I max out a few credit cards for ads during the campaign since you get the money when it ends...
