Hello everyone, I am new here i hope i am welcome here

If you want consistent conversions without sounding pushy, focus on connection before conversion. Here’s what works ; 1.Teach, Don’t Pitch When you educate your audience instead of selling to them, you naturally earn trust. Give value through tips, insights, or short lessons and they’ll start seeing you as the go-to person even before you make an offer. 2. Tell Stories Stories sell what explanations can’t. Share real experiences how you struggled, learned, and found a better way. When people see themselves in your story, they buy emotionally, not logically. 3.Show Proof Social proof removes doubt. Post testimonials, screenshots, or wins not to brag, but to say, “Hey, this works .”It gives your audience confidence that they can win too. The truth is conversions happen when people trust you enough to take the next step. Focus on trust, not tricks. Value first, offer second. What’s one way you like to sell without sounding salesy? Let’s share ideas below 👇

The stage was set. The clock read 6:40 PM—just twenty minutes before showtime. I had done everything right. Everything. The motivational music thundered through my speakers, pumping adrenaline through my veins. I had retreated to my sacred dark corner, that quiet place where prayers are whispered and focus crystallizes. Every transition had been tested. Twice. The lights cast that perfect glow—not too harsh, not too dim. My camera angle? Chef's kiss. I was ready to deliver the performance of a lifetime. The Fall 6:40 PM. I opened the virtual doors to my webinar room and clicked on Start Virtual Camera. Then, like a villain emerging from the shadows, a message appeared on my screen—a message that would haunt my nightmares. The virtual camera... wouldn't start. Panic seized me. My heart raced. Twenty minutes. I had twenty minutes. I dove into Google like a drowning man grasping for air. Privacy settings—maybe that's it! I frantically adjusted every setting on my Mac. Nothing. I fired off a desperate message to support, knowing deep down that salvation wouldn't arrive in time. The clock mocked me. Tick. Tick. Tick. I was freaking the hell out. The Epiphany Then, in the midst of chaos, a moment of clarity pierced through the panic: No one knows what this presentation is supposed to look like. No one in that audience knew about my carefully crafted transitions. No one was expecting the elaborate technical setup I had planned. They were here for the message, not the medium. I made a split-second decision. Forget the fancy stuff. I pivoted to a simple 1080×1350 slide deck—just the slides and me. Raw. Unfiltered. Real. The Triumph At 7:00 PM, I went live. According to my wife (who watched with a critical eye), I was calm and collected. "You did a good job," she said. But here's the real kicker—I landed two sign-ups during that call for a 1:1 meeting (I am selling a HTO). Two people saw enough value in what I had to say that they took action, technical hiccups be damned.

Hello I'm new here hope I'm welcome 🤗

Hey 👋 I’m building Lábyr, a fashion-tech app that helps users discover their unique personal style using AI according to their body type skin tone and measurements— basically, it lets them see how outfits would actually look on them before buying, design their own outfits ,discover trends and get real honest feedback from AI. Right now, I’ve bootstrapped everything and reached the MVP planning stage, but I’m stuck on the funding part. I’m trying to figure out how to get seed funding or small initial capital to move forward — maybe even through community-based or non-equity options since I’m still a student. Would love advice from anyone who’s been through the early funding journey — - How did you raise your first round? - What steps should I take before pitching? - Any platforms, investors, or strategies you recommend for early-stage founders (especially in India)? Appreciate any insights or real experiences — I’m super passionate about making Lábyr real, just need the right direction to start fueling it. 🙏
