Finally published the results of The Maker Report - Weekly backlog 2020/07
So it finally happened, last week I published the results of The Maker Report. I have to be honest, it took much more time to create the report than expected. I didn’t track my hours but I think it became the product I spent the most time working on (at least 300 hours) and I also got help from my girlfriend to finish it. The funny thing is that this is not a for-profit product, I created it to give back to the community. Right after I got ready, I launched it on Product Hunt sadly, it got almost zero traction. I know that this is not the kind of product that would become #1 hunt of the day, still, I expected more upvotes. Well, maybe next time. Now I have about 7 months to grow a bigger community/audience around the report to get more responses next time. At the moment, I don’t have a master plan on how to do that, but hopefully, I’ll figure it out.
In the upcoming weeks, I’ll focus on Discount Hunt as Easter season is coming and this is a great time to reach more potential customers because my product is basically an Easter Egg hunt app for Shopify stores. I already have a separate landing page on how to use the app for a virtual Easter Egg hunt but I’ll create a new one to use it in Google Ads.
That’ll be more than enough tasks for this week next to my freelance projects and removing the free version of Story View is also on my todo list.

Todo for this week:
- Remove the free version of Story View
- Update Discount Hunt landing page
- Create a separate landing page for Discount Hunt to promote Easter Egg hunt features
