What have you done this past week to help with your product growth?

Photoshoot for a tshirt launch

Created a whole blog section + wrote my first blog post ever! https://www.solfej.io/blog

Marketing

• Studied ways to market without budget. ( It's working )
• Found ways to promote without promoting. ( It's working )
• Posted on reddit.

Sponors

• Been working on sponsors deals.
• Cold reach potential customers.
• https://www.colorsandfonts.com/sponsors.html

Newsletter

• Moved from Postcards by Designmodo to Mailchimp templates. They look slicker and are easier to use.

Features

• Added a Tailwind color picker.
• Planning to add more.

Overall is going better than I ever thought, I am growing my daily users. Since a Reddit post went viral to the front page with 7.6K visitors and next day 3.5k visitors, it's been good regarding the returning ones.

I got pretty much validation from the return8ng users and new users.

Founders, makers,...are knocking the door asking if there's space to be featured on the page...

The biggest growth i have seen is in my persona, I wasn't aware I could do this myself. For me, that, is also growth.

Have a great day everyone !

Working on SEO...

• Did a podcast interview
• submitted to a long list of director listings

Yesterday was a crazy day for https://www.indiehackers.com/product/noise-cutters. I grew my subscriber list by 50%+ in a single day.

### Things I have done

• Wrote a short Facebook post for a big startup group I am in
• Published an IndieHackers milestone which reached the top 5
• Helped other people with their promotion, which then helped me because they promoted my stuff as well
• Made some changes to the sign-up page based on feedback I got on Facebook; added 3 case studies to the landing page to show people what they can expect from signing up

### What has worked

• The IndieHackers post drove tons of traffic to my site, which then converted very well.
• The Facebook post got a few likes and comments, which helped make it spread more

### What hasn't worked?
Yesterday was one of those days where everything sort of came together. My November goal was to reach 50 subscribers, and I ended up beating it by getting around 60. Glad to say I mad it

### What have you learned?

• First and foremost, and I think it's a lesson for everyone: spread other people's stuff. Let's be real, we're all Indie Hackers, trying to grow our businesses. If you have someone else's back, they'll have your back. Building relationships takes a lot of time but it will definitely pay off in the end.
• Secondly: IndieHackers is always unbeatable to generate traffic mainly because my target audience is right here
• Thirdly: Look into Facebook groups, people. This was just 1 of the 17 Maker/Startup Facebook groups I am part of, and it drove traffic + sign-ups after just writing a really simple post.

### What can other IndieHackers help me with?
Here's something simple you can help me with that will actually benefit you more: stop caring about what people think about your product. Please, please, just ship your product even when you think it's not 100% perfect. I keep seeing posts on IndieHackers by people saying they don't think they're ready yet. Build that landing page, turn your idea into a small page with an opt-in form. And go, share it with people. See if people bite and find it interesting. Post it to BetaList, Reddit, Facebook groups, Slack groups, send people you know an email, post on Craigslist for all I care.
Music artists create a sample that they send to music labels and studios to see whether people like it. Only after that, they'll record the high-quality version of the song. Be like a music artist, create a sample of your product to test the waters. And then, once people like it, make it better.

I've gotten a lot of great feedback for my landing page...basically it sucks 😢 But I got really specific feedback from @sobbuh and @pras2018 who both gave me a great list of the things that emailatscale.com needs to fix. I am going to be working on a redesign this week. 👍
