Marketing a small indie product - my first marketing week
https://blog.bal.al/how-to-market-an-indie-built-product
Hi! Sharing my insights from my first marketing week! It's definitely something I learned a lot from and I didn't know how to do before.
I wrote a bit more detailed blog post that you might find useful!
Feel free to reach out on Twitter ;)
learned a lot from this blog and going to try some new things, thank you!
Thanks a lot!
Did you use something like mixpanel? Also can you share the resources which were shared by Tomzaragoza??
Hey @aditodkar - I just talked with Tom and he is fine to share his guidelines he sent me back then with you. Reach out on Twitter to share it (@itsbalal)
DM sent plz check
Hey 👋 I just pinged Tom and will let you know. Btw, I don't use MixPanel as that seems too much for me at this phase :)
So should one integrate mixpanel after crossing specific MRR value? For example should we start using it after crossing 3 or 5k MRR?
Not very familiar with MixPanel to be honest, but I'd say that paying for something that overwhelms your budget should be done once you really need it. Using it from the beginning just lead to unneeded dependency
Mixpanel is free for first 100K users monthly
Good to know. 🤙
Amazing long read! 👏
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks a lot!
Okay, your product is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING 🤩 I’m running to my laptop to try it!
It’s a fantastic post you wrote! It’s so important to reach out and build yourself a good audience. I see you have all the things figured out correctly — can’t wait for your product to skyrocket! 🚀
Thanks a lot @storyangled! ❤️
amazing! thanks for the thorough breakdown and congratulations on week 1!!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!🥳
Mate! Week? It is a tremendous amount of work. It was like my marketing month! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks man! It really feels like a lot, but the applied knowledge happened in the last week even though I've been learning this a few weeks earlier.
I really enjoyed reading it, thank you. Also, the "Writings" impressed me with its design and function. Congratulations!
thanks! This means a lot. Thanks for taking the time to read the article check the app out!
Thanks for sharing. It was very helpful for me to submit my side project (Bagify - a shopify app) to the websites you mentions in your blog.
thanks for reading it! glad you found it helpful - feel free to reach out on twitter (@itsbalal) anytime ;)
Thanks for the KatLinks tip, I hadn't heard of them!
🙏 very welcome
Thanks for sharing. Great to hear your experience with things like reddit and what went well.
Good to know that betalist delay is so long!
Thanks! Yeah, the only problem is that at the start of the submission you provide some screenshots of the app for features that might change by the time you get featured :)
This was so helpful indeed! Read it twice and I see the value you shared in a single post. Cant wait to give your app a try and will drop you my ideas🙏🏻
That’s funny I’ve done similar mistakes and learned from them. Wish seen a post like this before😊
Glad you liked it. If you manage to gather some feedback that you want to share, feel free to reach out via Twitter - @itsbalal ;) Thanks!
Great ! you have figured it out well... following and thanks for sharing.
Thanks! Glad you liked it! 🚀
Thank you for this breakdown, Aleksandar! It's been super inspiring and as Dmytro said - pretty incredible what you've done in a single week!
Thanks Jannis, appreciate it!
Thanks for sharing with us. Regarding the paid ads, many members of the WBE Space have tried them out but no one was satisfied with the results.
Of all the platforms the most promising was definitely google ads, but even then you need to invest a lot of money to see positive results. That does not fit into the budget of most bootstrappers...
thanks for sharing this @tiagorbf! I guess Google Ads is yet another lesson I have to go through in future 😅
