Realized I need to work on Product-Market fit
by NestorAfter 3-4 days from launch last Sunday, I realized that despite getting my 1st sale, I need to ramp up designs and overall content and brand.
I have 3 targets over the next few weeks:
-
Gain traction and SEO to increase site visits. Currently referrals are a crutch for lack of SEO, shout out to the IH community for supporting and looking at my work.
-
Build a new design per week: the aim here is to make it a "thing" in which people can vote for the next design, propose puns and upvote eachother (which feeds into the next point)
-
Increase traction on site: currently social referrals only stay on the site for less than 30s. I need to build more engaging content both aesthetically and in terms of actual text.
Any suggestions?

I don't know how much SEO can be effective starting from scratch in 2019...I recently studied the competition. Even for low traffic long tail keywords (<1k per month), the first page results are always big websites.

I am not an SEO expert but I thought that all bloggers who tell you can have something (usually expensive) to sell to you.
Try it yourself with a tool like ubersuggest (it's free). Put some long keywords that you're interested in. It will say to you the domain authority and the number of backlinks that the websites that rank on page one have.
They usually have 50+ DA and hundreds of backlinks.
If you want to produce content to get email subscribers, that's another story but you should share it manually on relevant communities, forums, facebook group and so on because nobody is going to find it on google (at least until you've built some DA and backlinks)

That seems to be the best way to generate traffic at this stage indeed

You are not working on product market fit. You are working on the product.
What is the market? WHO exactly should use your product? What pain does it solve? You should do some direct sales until you nail that down. Good luck.

Thanks, I agree that the title might be a bit misleading.
I think there are two issues I am trying to tackle:- how do I make my products fit a need or desire
- how do I reach my potential customers. Which is more of a channel discussion
