Femtech Insider
The Femtech Micro Media Company
First press for Femtech Insider! I am beyond excited, that Femtech Insider made Smasching Magazine's #BlackFriday list alongside many other independent makers and products.
I've written some guest posts about my project so far, but this is our first press mention. Crazy!
If you haven't done so already, check out this round-up - so many awesome projects!
"If you're not embarrassed about the first version of your product, you've launched too late!"
Well. We'll find out, if the same applies to podcasts! :D
I recorded the trailer and have started to reach out to people, I'd like to have on as guests. So far the response has been great and the first official recording is scheduled for Friday.

Default to action. I'm trying to really trying to take that to heart these days.
Onwards and upwards! Hopefully... ;)

Hi Katha,
Like the idea and would listen if there is something connected with helping the women in my life with their health.
And something else: Force your SSL on your website. Now we can check it both on HTTP and HTTPS which isn't ideal.-

thanks! this is good feedback. i actually have "force https" enabled, so seems like there is a problem. i'll look into it!

Yes, I know... Traffic is a vanity metric and what really matters is revenue, BUT it's also about the small wins sometimes, right?!
So: I am happy to let you all know, that FemtechInsider.com has had its first 100 Unique Visitors Day!
Where's the traffic coming from? Mainly social media, some referrals, an organic visitor here and there.
Small, but steady. One step at a time. :) I plan to officially launch the site in about a month, so I'm really happy with the progress so far.
Got feedback? Questions? Let me know!

i think what really helped was community. my latest article went viral-ish and has been shared a lot on social media (linkedin and facebook). this brought in most of the traffic. i think i'll get to 250 uniques today actually. but it's more of a "one off" and not yet consistent traffic, so even though i'm excited, i know the traffic's not here to stay. :)

It's been a week since I started working on Femtech Insider. A lot has happened since and I have had such a great time building out the platform!
Since this is the first time you're hearing from me, I guess I should introduce myself and my project a little more.
My name is Kathrin, I am currently based in Chiang Mai Thailand and I have spent the past view months building websites in the women's health space. The more research I did, the more interested I got into the innovation and tech side. I guess you can get the startup-per out of startup land, but the curiosity and interest in innovation will forever be part of me. ;)
I had the idea for Femtech Insider a couple of months back, but finally sat down to build it out last week. So what is Femtechinsider?
I like to describe it as a micromedia platform on all things Femtech. Right now features include a magazine, a database of 250+ companies (which I've reserached myself), a job board and a newsletter. I'd love to add a podcast eventually, but one thing at a time.
I just sent out my first trial newsletter this morning to a whopping list of 2 people (me and my dad... haha).
If any of you are interested in the topics of technology and women's health, want to give me feedback a follow, subscribe or like, I'd appreciate it!
Thanks for following along!

Seems more like you're doing 4 things at a time 😂. I have heard that podcasts are good for growth though, because you get free advertising from your guest.
Anyway good stuff and best of luck as you move forward!

haha! yes, you're right!! it seem like a lot, ey?! :D totally. i think adding a podcast could really help with distribution and also help me network in the niche.

Welcome Kathrin and good luck for your project!
If I may ask what difference did you find between men's and women's health best practices?
-

hi luqa! women have some unique health challenges they struggle with (menstruation, breast cancer, pelvic health, pcos...) , but for a long time there hasn't been as much research done in those areas and investment into new technology and innovation overall has been less compared to men's health. this is starting to change however. if you're interested in learning more, i can recommend this article: https://techcrunch.com/2019/04/03/femtechs-billion-dollar-year/
