I am so, so excited about the whole Office Hours concept...

Bootstrappers and IHers should be jumping on this!

You have no idea how lucky you are - even 2-3 years ago most bootstrappers had zero (affordable) access to this kind of expert advice.

Thanks @csallen, @rosiesherry for making these things happen...

And @everyone-else... GET ON IT! ;)

    Thanks! Who else should we invite?

    1. 1

      Ooh.

      I'd love to see...

      • @Fersh or Steli Efti do some sales-related office hours
      • @alexhillman or @amyhoy for 'idea-phase' office hours
      • @mijustin on marketing
      • laurium or Steve Schoger on design

      Sure there are many, many more - but that's a start :)

        Just signed up for one - next Thursday @ 3pm EST!

    Since you're excited about it, have you jumped on the opportunity to get help with your project(s)?

    I've never really considered the IH office hours since there's an application process that's opaque to me and it's a large site now. I did get two really useful pieces of advice on the forum last week to work on, though.

    1. 2

      You have a very high chance of getting into any particular session. Encourage you to come to one if you'd find it useful!

      It was awesome for me, and quite a thrill really. You hear these people and watch their videos and read their stuff and get a chance for 10 minutes for specific advice and it rocks.

    3. 2

      Yes!

      I applied and was given a spot a few months back. Also applied to this one with Joanna, although I doubt I'll be chosen twice :)

      I'm sure @rosiesherry can talk more about how they choose successful applicants, but I assume (hope) it's a mix of:

      • how much value the person leading office hours thinks they can provide you with
      • how much of that value is transferable to other IHers who didn't get a spot but watch the broadcast/recording...

        Cool! I didn't see that one. Yeah, I suspect those criteria, too.
