How I Made a Coming Soon Page in 2 Days and had 100 Visitors in the First Week

Earlier this week I had an idea for a micro-tool/resource that would accent my main startup:

Creating the Internet's First Thesaurus of Brands aka - https://brandesaurus.com/

PS if you want to skip the reading and just see the analytics they're publicly available thanks to plausible being awesome: https://plausible.io/brandesaurus.com/

My team liked the idea so much that after a few hours of talking with people in my main startup I decided to get started and not look back!

Day 1: 0 Visitors
-Validated idea internally by asking founders, managers, and interns in my main startup
-Researched the "best" platform to get started on and decided to use Webflow
-Signed up for Webflow's free trial and started messing around
-Researched how to structure a programmatic SEO website/product

Day 2: 31 Visitors
-Launched coming soon page
-Began sharing idea with coming soon page link on IndieHackers, Reddit, Twitter, and Mastadon
-Got first email submission which made me want to push harder
-Started documenting how to organize marketing

Day 3: 8 Visitors
-Primary startup had a major client event that needed my full attention
-Was able to squeeze in an interview with a potential user (they were excited but wanted more visuals)

Day 4: 31 Visitors
-Asked for feedback on IndieHackers and Reddit
-Signed up for polywork and created an account plus added a post

Day 5: 28 Visitors
-Shared link where relevant on IndieHackers and Reddit
-Made posts on Twitter and Mastadon with appropriate hashtags

Day 6 (Today): 8 Visitors
-Checked analytics
-Started writing this post XD

Plans going into this week:
-Right now the goal is to get 250 visitors and 5 emails before soft launching the site
-Based on the traffic analytics sharing in IndieHacker, Reddit, and Polywork communities is working so we'll continue with this
-Since communities are working will probably also try Discord and larger forum-like platforms
-With 100 visitors but only 2 emails this could mean the base idea interests people but the page itself needs to build more trust and value to grow the conversion rate

Goals for Next Week:
-150+ Visitors
-3 emails
-Update coming soon page's design
