I've helped dozen of startups multiply their revenue. AMA🔥

@aaronoleary actually, I don't even take a pen at all:) I start from talking to a company founders / product managers, surfing web and reading what people talk about the product, which people say that, who are the competitors and so on. And in the middle of doing this, ideas of what to do, come to my mind, and here is the exact moment when you need a pen

@abid_unnisa you can do everything I mentioned apart from "what people say", you can learn more how similar products are promoted and you also can make customer development interviews to learn what they think exactly about your product.

@aaronoleary Hi Aaron, could you support my new project https://www.producthunt.com/post...?

@kash_gunaretnam too common question, sorry, It depends on what you want your users to hear and then do after reading your message

@naveed_rehman not sure if it's a good title:) you can learn more about me and my projects here: https://aware-comb-7bd.notion.si...

@cederlund You know, I believe you can use all the standard channels from paid ads (maybe you saw such Facebook \ Instagram ads that say "Take a break for a min and breath") to bloggers and PH launch. But actually, I wouldn't like to repeat here "use paid ads" as genius advice every time so let's think about something not so standard. How about trying to make your beta testers your influencers? You can probably make a referral program for them or integrate advertising posts to their own blogs if they respond to certain conditions (amount of followers for example). They can be mini and even micro bloggers but should drive you in some way if launched all at once. What do you think?

@vse_horoscho appreciate the comment! I understand paid ads, PH launch and a potential referral program. But what do you mean specifically when you say bloggers? Is that a channel you recommend how would you best execute it in our position? 🙏

@cederlund I can't recommend and nobody can:) you should test and see how it works for you. What I mean: find the bloggers who potentially have audience that could be interested in your product, give them a try of it and ask to promote it among their audience, it can be paid or not. Which bloggers could it be? For example, those one who write or make videos about wellness and selfcare, psychologists, doctors — it's just a first step. Then you can ask yourself which topics could be interesting for people who spend too much time in front of a computer and find bloggers who talk about it. Actually, I think it's almost every topic because while people read or watch bloggers it's those exact moment when they need your exercises:))

@cederlund please take a look at my new project and support if possible: https://www.producthunt.com/post...

@kyle_tummonds I would recommend pretenting that it's already live! I mean, in my opininon, it's necessary to start building brand and attracting potentially interested people right away. Start talking about it, looking for a positioning, make customer development interviews, learn your competitors, count money — do everything according to a marketing stratedy building plan, it will help understand how to sell the product in the future, and create an amount of followers who will be ready to buy it when it's launched

@vse_horoscho I love the advice. We are currently doing this at the moment, so its good to hear that we are on the right track!

@kyle_tummonds good luck!

@highgroundio Honestly, I prefer to consider a certain situation and certain products / businesses, not any marketing / business theories in vacuum, so I prefer not to answer your question in such a format, sorry:) I believe every business is unique and more details about it we know, more accurate "rules" (or dos' and donts) we could create for it

@tornike_phkhovelishvili Hi Tornike! Intriguing product:) I believe to get a constant traffic you need a relatively long-term plan of activities, at least for a month. Do you have one? For example: this week we publish an article in the media X, the next week we start paid ads on Facebook (btw it's a constant traffic itself as long as you pay for it), the third week we make a collaboration with a blogger, one more week - launch on Product Hunt and so on

@vse_horoscho I think in my case problem is that I have too many activities and don't know what to focus on (also my marketing budget is not significant). In case you are interested here is the list of channels I am trying for the next month or so (PH messed up formatting a bit but still): 1. Twitter 1. Ads 2. Daily content 3. Outreach by likes of ProductHunt 4. Answering the questions 2. LinkedIn 1. Ads 2. Daily content 3. Outreach by likes of a certain post 4. Answering the posts 3. Quora 1. Answering quetsions 2. Submitting posts 4. Reddit 1. Submitting posts 2. Answering the posts 3. Ads 5. Indiehackers 1. Submitting posts 2. Answering 6. ProductHunt 1. Submitting posts 2. Answering 7. Gumroad 1. Seeing all startup related conent for 0$ > outreach to author 8. Submit on directories 9. Find micro-influencers 10. Newsletter sponsorship 11. SEO 12. Medium blog writers 13. Youtube influencers 14.

@tornike_phkhovelishvili not bad:) what is the problem with focusing on? don't you see how much traffic comes from each channel?

@kkumarkg and where are the decision makers and budget holders?:) you can make your communication in Twitter in the way to make potential users your "sales managers" who talk and sell to desicision makers. At first, you should make them want using your product and then give them arguments which they can transfer to desicion makers and explain why the desicion makers need the product too. Does it help?

@kkumarkg So, you can talk to them directly in parallel too: for ex., via direct messages, paid ads, content distribution, event making

@kkumarkg hi there, now I need your help! Please support my new project: https://www.producthunt.com/post...

@vse_horoscho Good insight, Thanks. Some of the decision makers and budget holders are on Linkedin

@vse_horoscho Done! All the best

@peter_fischer_florez please be more specific so I could help in any way:)

@richard_gao2 I beleive it's important to constantly improve all the stages of your marketing/sales funnel. You need marketing activities to get more people to your website but then you need a good website to generate this traffic into leads. These are all links of one chain

@ofrankowicz Hi Aleksander, there are two main parts: the content of your listing and looking for support. Regarding the first one, I can't say anything new, you should just google and use the best practices of people who launched before (I did the same). And what about the channels where to ask for support, I believe you should check them in advance and prepare messages for them, you can read which channels we used here: https://www.producthunt.com/disc...

@ozan_yalcin1 Hi Ozan, I think I'm not informed enough abuot this field so you have to answer my questions first:)) is this respectation of the data a core of your company / product? Or is it just one of the property? Anyway, companies usually ask for approval to use the data but make it maximally smooth, may be you could make this process more visible if it's important to demonstrate the respect to data safety?

@ozan_yalcin1 Hi Ozan, I've launched a new project and need support, please help! https://www.producthunt.com/post...

@amjosephjenkins Hi Jenkins, thank you! You know, I believe in networking here the most of all. You can work in all the same channels to build your brand and so on but you'll more likely get leads directly from your personal communication with the market players so (a couple of examples): you need to be active on Linkedin (or another relevant platforms), participate in relevant events and speak there, take part in discussions about design in media, communities and social nets, etc.

@amjosephjenkins hi Jenkins, now I need your help! Please support my new project: https://www.producthunt.com/post...

@vse_horoscho thanks a lot!

@brajendra_kumar2 sorry, I can't answer such question:) it's necessary to test different approaches and see how it works for a certain business

@axel_b2 not my field of knowledge, sorry:)
