I’ve noticed that many developers don’t really understand marketing and don’t know how to promote their products. They often choose to find a marketing partner to solve this, but that approach is inefficient—and in many cases, you also have to pay the partner a high fee.
So I built a marketing tool designed especially for indie developers. It’s very low-cost to use, but it can help you get results quickly.
Here’s how it works:
1.Click the link below and log in.
2.Enter your product’s website URL.
3.Get a complete marketing plan (just like one created by a marketing partner).
4.Choose to execute the plan or modify it.
5.Monitor the results in the dashboard and see how many people start visiting your website.

Marketing plans solve the "WHAT to do" problem, but there's a deeper gap: making users understand WHY your product matters to THEM specifically.
You can execute every step perfectly - traffic comes in, they see your landing page - but if they don't immediately grasp how you solve their exact problem better than alternatives, you lose them in that 10-second window.
That's the difference between distribution and comprehension. Most marketing tools optimize for visibility (getting eyeballs) but not clarity (making your value obvious instantly).
We're building voice agents that guide users through products in real-time (demogod.me) - basically ensuring people understand what you do and why it matters to them before you ask for anything.
Your tool nails the execution layer. The next frontier is the comprehension layer - making sure visitors GET IT fast enough to care.
Hey, I am looking for some developers/solopreneurs to test out Hikaflow, a tool I made to help early teams in release planning, code review, testing, and debugging, so engineers can simply write their code with Cursor and take it to prod with just 10 minutes of testing.
Would you be open to testing it out in your project at no cost?
This is a very practical and motivating post. Many developers focus on building great products but struggle when it comes to finding the first real users, so breaking the process down into clear steps like this is extremely valuable.
I especially liked the emphasis on starting with a simple landing page and validating demand early before investing too much time in development. That approach saves both time and resources.
I have been working on organizing useful online tools and small digital utilities myself, and following a structured launch and promotion process like the one described here has made a noticeable difference in engagement and feedback quality.

Thanks for sharing such actionable advice.
Interested!
Interesting approach.
I’m building a small SaaS myself where I handle the execution side — SEO, AEO, GEO content for marketers and founders — and I’ve seen that plans only work when people can actually ship content fast.
Curious how Amplift adapts plans once real data starts coming in (early traffic, low CTR, etc.). Happy to share my setup if useful.
INTERESTED!!!
I am building a bunch of things at the moment but I have only generated substantial revenue on 2 of them Simpl Labs and vibecodeprompts

I’m also working on something that might help with exactly the challenge you mentioned about finding early users and monitoring conversations.
I built a Chrome extension called PulseOfReddit it tracks Reddit keywords and alerts you when relevant discussions pop up. It’s already helped me catch early conversations and validate ideas faster. I’m giving free access for the first 10 users if you want to try it.
