Step 5⚠️ Critical⏱ 2-3 hours

🔧 Stripe

💡 Pro tip: Offer multiple payment methods (credit card, PayPal) for higher conversion.

Step 6⏱ 1-2 weeks

Launch to Your Audience

Launch to your existing audience: email list, social media followers, professional network. Focus on people who know you and trust you already.

🔧 Email + Social Media

💡 Pro tip: Ask happy early customers for testimonials and case studies to build social proof.

Step 7⏱ Ongoing

Gather Feedback and Iterate

Collect customer feedback on your food trucks offering. What's working? What could be improved? Update your product based on feedback.

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

✗ Over-engineering before launch — launch with MVP, improve based on feedback

✗ Not testing your landing page — use A/B testing to find what converts

✗ Targeting everyone instead of specific niche — focus on one food trucks segment

✗ Underpricing your offering — charge what it's worth, not what you think people will pay

✗ Launching without an audience — build email list first, then launch
