Spent $300 on a product no one saw. Here’s what I’m launching now.
I launched a product last year. Spent $300+. Nobody saw it.
Google never indexed it. Zero clicks.
I learned something the hard way: building isn’t enough if nobody finds it.
I never shared it publicly.
I was frustrated.
But now, I want to do things differently.
So today, I’m launching: ¿Qué IA es? (https://queia.es/)
A curated directory of AI tools in Spanish.
It’s where I organize the apps I actually use, the ones I recommend, and the ones others are building.
Why I built it:
→ I love discovering new tools and people often ask which ones I use.
→ I want to share useful resources, not just my own products.
→ Shipping is good, but distribution is everything.
→ I felt there was a gap: a space in Spanish, made by someone who uses these tools daily.
Also: it’s open to the community.
If you’re building something with AI and want to reach Spanish-speaking users, you can list it for free.
Drop me a DM. I’ll review and approve it myself.
Would love your thoughts. Any feedback is more than welcome.
Hi Jonathan,
Huge congrats on the launch, and even more so on your perseverance. It takes real grit to keep going after a tough first experience, and it’s inspiring to see you turn that into something valuable for the Spanish-speaking community. Qué IA es looks awesome, super useful, and clearly built with care.
If the DMs start piling up (which they will!) or the admin side of things gets overwhelming, I’d love to help out. I’m a Virtual Assistant who supports founders like you by handling things like message replies, admin work, scheduling, and other behind-the-scenes tasks, so you can stay focused on growing your product and reaching more users.
Wishing you lots of traction and great feedback, and if you ever need support, I’m just a message away!

Hey Jonathan,
Thanks for sharing.
Quick question for you, how do you market your website nowadays?
Hey @IharV, I've only launched a week ago but mostly sharing on Linkedin where I'm most active. I'm also building thinking on SEO but this is long term.
