Looking for a marketing cofounder for this blogging platform
Recently launched this blogging platform.
Ideally, a "marketing" cofounder can partner up with me.

For indie hackers: Outsource marketing or do it yourself?
Congrats on launching JustBlogged — a simple, fast blogging experience is a real value add for creators tired of complex tools. One thing I’ve noticed with platforms like this is that organic growth starts with storytelling that resonates with specific creator segments (like solopreneurs, newsletter writers, or niche communities) rather than broad “bloggers.”
Designing built-in distribution mechanics — like auto-social sharing, embeddable cards, or content repurposing features — can also become a part of your growth loop rather than an external marketing step.
Curious — when you think about your first user segment, who do you see adopting it quickest: creators with existing audiences, new bloggers, or people migrating from tools like Medium/Substack?

Hey, would love to connect and know more about this.
If you're an independent developer looking to promote your product to more users, I recommend trying Amplift. ai. It's the latest one-click AI marketing tool; you simply tell it your marketing objectives, and you can see results in as little as two hours.
Congrats on shipping. Real talk: before you bring on a “marketing cofounder,” you need a wedge. Blogging platforms are everywhere, so the win is picking a specific identity and owning it.
Who is this for right now?
Founders building in public? Writers? Devs? Newsletters? Niche creators?
Once that’s clear, the “marketing” becomes product + distribution loops, like:
A directory that ranks (and also makes users discover each other)
Built-in sharing assets (auto social cards, snippets, etc.)
Templates that make publishing frictionless for that niche
A weekly spotlight so early users feel seen (and share)
The best marketing cofounder isn’t someone who “runs ads.” It’s someone who can help you design the growth loop into the product.
What’s the niche you want to win first, and what’s the one thing you do that’s meaningfully better than the obvious alternatives?
Usama, congrats on the launch! Blogging platforms are a crowded space, but pairing a strong marketing cofounder with a technically solid founder is often the fastest path to traction.
A few strategic angles to consider:
Niche positioning: General blogging is competitive, but targeting specific creator types or communities can help you stand out.
Content + network growth: Early marketing efforts should focus on organic channels where your target users already hang out.
Product-led storytelling: Highlight what makes your platform better/faster/unique—feature comparisons, ease-of-use, or integrations can resonate.
Partnership clarity: Clearly define what you want from a cofounder (growth, user acquisition, community building) to attract the right partner.
With the right marketing alignment, this could quickly move from launch to active, engaged users.

JustBlogged looks clean and well-built congrats on launching, Usama!
If you’re bringing on a marketing co-founder, I can help you get some early traction through high-authority PR placements (Digital Trends, USA Today, Yahoo Finance, 400+ outlet PR blasts, etc.).
These features can help attract early writers, build trust, and give your platform a strong “public launch” push.
If you’d like, I can share which placement would give you the biggest lift.
JustBlogged has a clean value prop , “start a blog in 2 minutes” , which is strong because it tackles the biggest friction creators face: setup fatigue.
What’s interesting is that the product seems optimized for simplicity, but the growth narrative isn’t fully defined yet.
A couple of observations that might help you shape early traction:
Your strongest initial audience isn’t “bloggers” , it’s creators who hate traditional blogging tools.
Think: people who already publish on LinkedIn, X, Instagram captions, or Medium but want an owned space.
Positioning it as “your personal publishing home in 2 minutes” could resonate more.
Zero analytics data means the platform is pre-signal , so your growth model should lean on distribution loops, not paid marketing.
For example:
Auto-share blog posts to social channels
Embeddable snippets that link back
“Write once → repurpose into 5 formats” workflow
These create natural viral surface area.
Blogging tools like Ghost/WP sell “ownership,” Medium sells “community,” Substack sells “direct connection.”
Your angle could be speed + zero learning curve. That’s a real differentiator.
Curious what you see as your primary wedge:
Speed, simplicity, SEO benefits, or an easier publishing workflow?
Would love to hear how you're planning to position JustBlogged in a crowded creator-tools ecosystem.
