Halfway through my ProductHunt launch and it's been amazing
I've been overwhelmed by the support and feedback I've received for my launch. I learned a lot from the very supportive community to help set me up for my launch. The questions I've received have been very insightful as well and I hope they help guide users.
I learned early on to build a community and network early on and I can't emphasize this enough. This is a key exercise throughout the process and your career. I will have to likely expand to additional channels to keep the momentum going.
I've also learned that many of us are enthusiastic to support one another which is amazing. No product is perfect and no entrepreneur can solve for everything. Getting that feedback either via DM or on the launch page is very insightful.
I'd love to hear from the IH community as well: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/flavored-resume
Congratulations on your launch! Your product looks amazing. How did you build up your community? Which channels did you use, how much time did it take?
I was going to ask this exact question!
I'll answer here so both of you can get the notification of an answer :)
I used 3 channels: ProductHunt, IndieHackers, and LinkedIn.
In terms of time:
Amazing launch bro, Keep it up!
Thank you!
Your product looks amazing, but most importantly it solves a very real and pressing need. I think that you have done a lot of things right, beginning with getting product-market fit correct. Congratulations, once again
Thank you so much!
Well done with the launch Ed. Just out of interest, how long has the product been launched? How much time did you spend building up a community before launching?
Thank you! It's been out for about 2 months for a "beta stage":
Thank you for your responses Ed
