Maybe we should create a special Brazilian section in the community for all the users from Brazil?

If anybody is familiar with Alex Hormozi, he likes to define value as the exercise of moving away from commodity to being in a league of one’s own, and lays down the following equation to illustrate and define value: (the quality of the desired outcome * the certainty of achieving it) / (time to achieve * effort&sacrifice). Everything on the numerator side one should increase, everything on the denominator side one should decrease, and mechanically, we get a higher value.

It typically is easier to decrease the factors of the denominator. In this instance, any product that decreases the length of effort compared to its competition, is more valuable, and that’s why offers to speed up admin processes (for example expedite a passport in 24 hours), are wildly successful.

With Wappler, you can cut down the time of development by many folds, but only at the price of a steep learning curve (increased effort and sacrifice), so the denominator part of the equation cancels itself out. Because it does, extending the free period would only increase the weight of time and effort without moving the needle of the value equation.

On the other hand, on the numerator side, the only thing that can be reasonably increased is the guarantee of a favorable outcome. In our case, via:

  • Tutorials and documentation - there are a few and some are old, but they cover the basics, and many of them come from the community. The problem is that they are a DIY model, which is low value by definition (compared to DIWY - do it with you, or DIFY - Do it for you).

  • The do-it-for-you model is a gun for hire or a freelancer, which is a model which antagonizes to some extend that of providing a software solution if not creating a closed vertical, which Wappler is the opposite of - but professional services would be a good idea for punctual needs if the team could scale to it, I myself would have paid for services to get me through a few sticky situations.

  • What is left to add value to the current equation, is the do-it-with-you model, which is mediated by access to the community, where someone, if you’re lucky, will lend you a hand or advice when you’re stuck. Wappler’s team is heavily involved but we can all tell that they cannot cover all of the queries, and the answers to them are limited by the level of understanding and knowledge of the person who is asking in the first place.

With this being laid down, the value proposition of Wappler becomes quite unique (as it is very every niche) and certainly not limited to the trial period. I remember the time when I saw Wappler on Kickstarter when I was a user of Dreamweaver (the old php 5.6 thing it ran internally, I wasn’t even aware of what all these new Dreamweaver zone extensions did), and there is not a day I do not kick my teeth for not having backed it up at the time and gained a lifetime license. I used to be a University professor and I keep doing a lot of work with students and postgrads that will never be commercial and I will continue to do well after I retire, and it’s all at my own cost. I lacked foresight.

So what could the Wappler team do to increase value with the current model?

  • From time to time, make a draw and have someone win a lifetime license (this reduces substantially the sacrifice portion of the equation, at least for a lucky winner, and we all know that in lotteries, the house is always the real winner).

  • Pick a project suggested by a member and do it with them, recording sessions as tutorials. This is difficult to scale, but imagine the value for the person whose project is being worked on with them, and for the rest of us to see the masters of the craft at work, the learning possibilities (increasing the quality of our own product, the first portion of the numerator), increase exponentially.

Well that makes me feel good!
