What things you learned hard way when launching your product?

I've learnt that most of the time we scratch our own itch and give more importance to a problem than it deserves. We often overlook getting user feedback mostly because talking to potential users is not easy.

Well, I will share with you a funny yet scary experience that I encountered while building my first product PriceInCheck(https://priceincheck.com/). So what happened was I was about to push my code from the local machine to my git repository but instead of doing that I reverted the whole Front-End code base and then again then I had to re-write the whole code. Also, what I learned over the course of a few months is building an Application is tough but getting users to pay for it is tougher.

Working as a developer then marketing field for our product Churnfree, I would like to share a few recommendations that I believe will help any business to grow online.

• Firstly, analyze the market for your product and competitors.
• Gain a deep understanding of how your competitors are working and achieving results, whether through paid or organic channels.
• Identify their strengths and weaknesses.
• Make a plan and execute it as soon as possible, as striving for perfection can cause delays.
• Create a proper digital plan for your product, including the amount of content you will share and which platforms you will use for advertising.
• Remain active on social media and community sites, as these can help your business significantly.

These are the major points to consider, in addition to other simple tasks you may be aware of. I hope this helps.

Hey Vansh,

thanks for asking this, it's a good question!

I failed with 5 startups or more in the past. Last September, I had enough and thought: Building is not the problem, marketing is. So, I definitely need to bite the bullet and do it (or so I thought at the time. Meanwhile, I found easier ways).

It really helped me to create a model for my marketing, using basic building blocks like product, feature, benefit, quality, job-to-be-done, story, persona. I created them and linked them to each other. Then I defined a set of experiments I want to run, telling the stories on different channels to see what works. Finally, I realized what I was doing: Building a habit for marketing.

Then I thought: Let's help other indie hackers and introverts like me with their marketing, by creating a system that thinks like we do. So 2Quiet2Market.com came to life, and I suddenly had a SaaS that I could sell.

In the last few weeks, I added a free plan and also a community to it, so if you want to try it out, feel free to sign up!

Cheers...
