I launched MakerLead #1 on Product Hunt. AMA

Hi Indiehackers,

I am Lamine, and I wanted an easier way to analyze open startups: revenue, metrics etc.

MakerLead is the solution that I came up with.

Using my nights and weekends, I quickly was able to create a working prototype ready to be launched on Product Hunt.

I tried to learn as much as I could, and bought a product hunt checklist, which also helped me quite a bit.

There were a lot of things that I had to learn on the go and I didn't get any info on before trying to actually launch. I gave myself about a month to focus fully on "marketing". Decided to launch on August 16, and rose to #1 that same day.

I condensed all my learnings in a book (8 customers so far) called Launch OS published on gumroad.

Some stats:

  • #1 on Product Hunt on August 16 2021
  • $300 in revenue from ads.
  • 11,000 users total since August

I tried to be as open as possible on my Twitter and really document all the process.

Looking forward to help you guys out and answer questions!

Ask me anything!

    Followed you on Twitter. Love the site and am considering an ad for GrowthHunt.co in the coming months.

    Cheers!

      Thank you! I guess but first I will need more traction on Twitter

        How will you decide how much is enough traction?
