Building my first micro product in public ($144 made with nearly 0 marketing)

"share the things you already use and see what happens"

I always used this micro product myself for months but never thought about sharing it.

until now...

I built a couple of products in the past but this is my first ever micro product and this is the first time I build in public
(so liberating to share everything about a product)
nearly zero marketing → I only shared 1 link on Reddit. that's it!

here are my early modest results so far

Metrics

it's called TurboKit ⚡

a blazing fast website template that scores 100/100 in every speed test (Lighthouse, GTmetrix...)

Through Gumorad 🚗

I could have built a custom landing page with cool illustrations to better showcase the product and increase conversions.

but keeping things simple for now.

a few lessons 👨🏻‍🎓

just publish things you have sitting on your hard drive.
you might have a hidden product ready to sell.
A product should solve a clear problem and achieve a clear measurable objective.
→ build fast websites that score 100/100 in Lighthouse (keep it simple)
building in public is not that scary
being the first customer of your product really helps
don't invest so much time before seeing any form of validation (for example use Gumroad instead of building a custom stripe checkout)
worst-case scenario?... nothing happens 🤷🏻‍♂️ so just do it!

today marks the first steps I take into marketing this product
I just launched it on PH!

I would really appreciate your support there... 🙏🏻
