One of the biggest days for me as a maker. I just launched Studiotime 2.0!

Studiotime 2.0 - Largest, most trusted online community to rent music studios | Product Hunt

Yo Indie Hackers!

It’s been nearly 3 years since I first built Studiotime in an evening and launched it, so I’m excited to share that the new and improved Studiotime 2.0 is finally here (and long overdue).

Here’s a quick recap of Studiotime from the initial idea moment 3 years ago to where it is now as the largest online community of music studios in the world:

💡🛠️🚀
I built the first MVP for Studiotime in an evening, didn’t think to much about it, then launched on Product Hunt. Within weeks we had hundreds of studios signup, we were picked up by international press (Hypebeast, Fader, Forbes, etc), and quickly scaled to what is now the largest online community of music studios in the world. The whole time Studiotime has been bootstrapped.

💸📈🆕
After a few years of bootstrapping Studiotime, testing revenue models (various subscription & commission), and truthfully getting a bit distracted (personally) from running the business, I've finally focused more on it and been able to create a sustainable and profitable bootstrapped marketplace. We've been reinvesting the profits back into the business and the new Studiotime 2.0 marketplace platform (which is built on Sharetribe Flex and extensively modified).

Here’s what’s new with Studiotime 2.0 👇

✅New name and logo! We're now Studiotime™️. No more being called "Studiotime.io", StudioTime, etc.
✅Totally new design & look
✅Studios all around the world in 35+ countries
✅Podcast studios added
✅Premium verified studios program to curate some of our most unique and popular studios on Studiotime
✅Top-line and some of the world’s most exclusive studios (some only available on Studiotime) like one's where Kanye, Justin Bieber, Coldplay, Lady Gaga, and more have recorded!
✅Services such as engineering/producers available as options for studio bookings
✅User verifications, Studiotime booking best practices, and more to increase trust in our community of artists, producers, studios, and all others part of our community!

I've been trying to share with the Indie Hackers community more on marketplaces, what I've learned with Studiotime, and have even connected with quite a few of you IRL. I can't thank everyone on IH enough for the support and welcome all feedback, comments, and helping spread the word about Studiotime 2.0! 👊
