I'd say the hardest bit about running a business is not running the business. It's everything else - admin, figuring out what you actually want to do, reaching customers, retaining customers etc.
But also that's the bit you have lots of time to figure out. Focus on the bits you enjoy and try to learn as much as you can (unless you are really desperate for cash out of this, in which case focus on all that!). You can figure out the boring bits later.
There appears to be a pattern of posts where "I'm 16 / 17 etc" as a prefix gets the hits. And rightly so! It's very good that young people are engaged. It's encouraging for us grey beards interested in the future of technology and a healthy action for us old people to encourage younger people. As my beard gets greyer so my pattern recognition library of samples gets bigger and it has recognised a "I'm 16" prefix to p…
It is obviously a clickbait thing and it works.
You shouldn't also use the same image for the testimonial as the first image in your xyz users are using app.
“I've always struggled to make sense of my notes and figure out what to study. Notiv gave me a clear plan and helped me actually retain the material. Bringing my GPA up by 0.9 points in just one semester.” This sounds kind of fake, like a character playing a customer saying good things about your product.
The user images look AI-generated, based on e.g. the fingers in https://www.notiv.app/lovable-uploads/9224843e-e523-4691-951... I think this is inherently dishonest because it's made to look like they're real users. Is the image and testimonial from "Conner" on the Features page also fake?
You have a domain, why not get a domain email? Seeing a firstname.lastname [at] gmail loses the professional feeling the website is giving off.
Because near everything about this appears to be a low effort scam. The gmail is to add to the "authenticity" of the scammer being 16, because this way they can add a presumed birthyear, wheras with domain email it would make no sense. Proof is in that the address williamcranna@gmail.com is avaliable, which would be the first thing a reasonable person would have tried, before adding the year like a dickhead.
I’m sure when you were 16 you might have made the same mistakes too.

…or they could genuinely be 16 and thus have no experience in how to do this professionally. I’m sure when you were 16 you might have made the same mistakes too.
you seem smart. why waste your life on this superficial startup nonsense? you still have time to change directions and work towards something important. it's hard to change directions after you've made startup money.
