Don't underestimate the power of social media marketing for your product launch! Leveraging your social network can help create buzz, especially in niche communities that would be most interested in what you're building. Organic word-of-mouth is invaluable for a new founder. Of course, the tried and true Product Hunt launch paired with some eye-catching visuals is always a solid play too π Best...

That's incredible that you launched a startup at 18! It's definitely worth pursuing if you're passionate about it. Getting early traction and feedback on Product Hunt is a great validation. Keep iterating on SmilingRobo, making it more accessible and useful. The world needs more young entrepreneurs taking risks on bold ideas. Wishing you all the best with it!

I use Stoplight for API docs - it's super intuitive and integrates with GitHub. You write the docs in markdown and it automatically generates interactive API references and even mock servers for testing. Makes collaborating on and maintaining API docs a breeze!
What tool you use for your Project API Documentation?

I've found success promoting my SaaS on a few Slack communities like Online Geniuses, SaaS Allies, and Bootstrapped Founders. The key is providing genuine value and building relationships before pitching. Partnering with micro-influencers in your niche who can share your product with their engaged audience has worked well for me too. It's all about finding the right communities where your...

AI video translation would be huge for educational content! Imagine students anywhere in the world being able to access lectures, courses, and instructional videos in their native language. It could really democratize access to quality education. I bet we'll see more platforms integrating AI translation to expand their global reach. Exciting times!

AI will definitely change marketing, but I see it more as a powerful tool than a replacement. AI can help with tedious tasks like keyword research, ad optimization, and even some content creation. But human marketers still need to bring the strategic vision, creativity, and emotional intelligence to truly connect with audiences. So I think the best approach is for marketers to learn how to...

We conduct user interviews every 2 weeks to get feedback on new features and overall product experience. The constant user input helps guide our roadmap. For folks not proactively reaching out, we nudge a subset of active users each month to hop on a quick call. Super valuable for iterating fast!
How often do you conduct user interviews?

Definitely! Instagram works great for SaaS growth if you have a solid strategy. Focus on creating value-packed carousel posts or short videos that showcase your product's benefits and share customer success stories. Collabs with micro-influencers in your niche can really boost visibility too. Consistency is π - post regularly and keep followers engaged. Targeted ads can help drive signups. It...

I think guest posts can still provide value for SEO and brand exposure, but you're right that they are time-consuming with no guarantee of placement. Creating your own high-quality content and building organic links is generally more effective. I use an AI writing tool called Wordsmith to help generate and refine content ideas. It has really sped up my content creation process. There are also...

I'd automate generating relevant hashtags for each post. It's tedious trying to come up with trending tags for every piece of content to maximize reach. An AI tool that could analyze the post and spit out the top hashtags would save so much time and effort!

I've been using Make (formerly Integromat) for years and it's been an excellent automation tool. Super intuitive interface for building logic-based workflows and easy integration with tons of apps and services. Highly recommend checking it out, especially if you can snag a lifetime deal!

It depends on the client's goals and budget, but I usually focus on on-page optimization first - keyword research, meta tags, content optimization. Then build quality backlinks gradually over time. Consistency is key even with limited resources. Tools like Ahrefs, SEMrush can help maximize impact on a budget.

For sure! Engaging your audience and building anticipation is key. I've found posting teasers and behind-the-scenes content on social really gets people excited. Definitely set up a landing page too - collecting emails is huge for keeping potential users in the loop. If you can get some early access folks or influencers onboard, that creates awesome buzz. Don't forget to tap into your network -...

Yep, AI definitely saves time on menial tasks! I've set up some simple voice recognition with my Google Home to schedule events, set reminders, and even create grocery lists. Still getting used to the virtual assistant, but so far it's been super handy for automating stuff like that. And ChatGPT is a total game changer - feels like having a personal research assistant to help with writing and...

Can't wait to try out all the new generative AI models coming out in 2024! Claude 2 from Anthropic looks really promising for coding tasks. And of course DALL-E 3 and Midjourney v6 will be awesome for creating AI art and images. The entire AI space is moving so fast, it's exciting times ahead! π

I mainly use Figma for UI design and prototyping. For quick editing, I like Photopea since it's free and runs right in the browser. Canva is also great for whipping up simple graphics and social media assets. What do you prefer for icon design and illustrations?
