I am building an application to practise your language learning skills. Out of 50 folks, around 8 think it is a good idea/something they'd like to try.
Don't know why, I am on the fence to do it or not. Especially, the $100 investment in Apple's Developer program.

Hey Vaibhav!
If it feels right, go for it! Sometimes you just have to start to see where it leads. Good luck!
@cem_ozcelik Thanks, mate. At this point, I really need some word of encouragement to push through because it definitely feels helpful and i have invested a month already.
Product Promotion. Developed an ai search tool that now has about 400,000 users per month, but there are a lot of industry giants that are grabbing the market with us.
It's my first time launching my own product as a hunter. I'm aiming to be #1!
Launching soon!
With deception in vacancies. In the vacancy they write one thing, at the interview they ask another, in the DM they write three terms of hiring, and even worse. and I have many such examples.
@julia_zakharova2
You'll be surprised at how disorganized companies tend to be regarding the hiring process.
Internally, most departments don't communicate, so HR writes job descriptions without speaking to the department leads who are looking for talent. Hence the disconnect in descriptions.
More often than not, the department looking for talent is so overworked that it doesn't have time to craft a job description that reflects exactly what it needs in a hire.
@julia_zakharova2
I understand now. Yeah, that is a bad form for them to do.
You are correct that sometimes they'll try to talk you down from a high salary, hoping you'll take the job and they'll save some money on overhead.
I know it's easier said than done, but sometimes you have to be upfront and real with people in an interview. If they look to be devaluing your skills to save money, pause the interview and ask them if they feel your credentials and experience discussed are worth the salary being discussed.
There is no point in continuing the conversation if their goal is to try and hire you for a cheap price.
Launching soon!
@thegoodbadugly_ai Exactly so, when I realized that the discussion was sliding towards finding minuses in me as a specialist - the dialogue ended. Thank you for understanding

@julia_zakharova2 I can totally empathize with the anger and frustration. This employer market is one I've never seen before. It's illogical to me.
@julia_zakharova2 Inconsistent job postings and deceptive hiring practices are frustrating and undermine trust; companies should provide clear and honest information throughout the hiring process. But remember, what is meant for you will find its way to you.

Finding the right product to sell to the right people

Hey Kouley!
Ah, the eternal quest! It’s like trying to find the perfect pair of socks—they’re out there somewhere, just gotta keep digging through the drawer. 😄
Good luck!

Our AI product launched on Product Hunt today, and I feel it's been my biggest challenge these past few days!

Upvoted, good luck Alex
Finding influencers to work with who do not ask for a sponsorship fee and are willing to work on a revenue share basis 🙄.
@dzaitzow Yes, we have an affiliate program anyone can join. But for all larger influencer accounts I am reaching out to we offer a bigger percentage for each sale. The thing is we only want to work with people who trully love and believe in our product. The ones who will review our product and will genuinely recommend it. Anytime I see a sponsored post I know that the creator's recommendation was bought rather than something they believe would sell regardless. They all seem to just want cash upfront without even looking at the product. The ones who do look at it want to work with us straight away, but it's super difficult to get to that stage.
@simona_o_neill3
Hey Simona!
That’s a brilliant idea! Why not turn it into a project?
“The Great Influencer Hunt: Revenue Share Edition” has a nice ring to it! 😄 Good luck!
@simona_o_neill3 do you have a cases to show them how much they could get from working with you?
If not, have you thought about making 1-2 with sponsors or micro-influencers, get case with numbers so it would be easier negotiating revshare later?
Launching soon!
@simona_o_neill3 do you have an affiliate program that compensates them for secured business? or do they just want cash up front?
Curious how you're solving this issue.
@kostyabolsh Hey, yep that's exactly the right approach and what I'm trying to do. I have some smaller accounts onboard already (tested the product, love it, making content, already sold licenses through their affiliate link etc). I also have a very notable Youtube account preparing to test our product next week. So fingers crossed 🤞. If they love it and put the content out it's game on. We'll have lots of social proof and it should be much easier. But it's a real struggle getting people to talk to you in first place.
For me, the challenge right now is managing my attention across projects. I struggle to fully focus on tasks, so I am working on improving this through meditation and time allotment methods.
@rupal_saini
Hey Rupal!
Sometimes the best way to boost productivity is by taking breaks. Stepping away from tasks can help you return with a clearer mind and more focus.
Keep going!
Launching soon!
I think for me its understanding what the next steps to take are as we're pre launch and we're a team of 1 technical individual and 1 non technical person (me) so I'd love to be shouting from the ceilings but I am curious how other - no code founders - made sure their time was productive with pushed launches when the product wasn't ready for the market at large.

I'm 16 so setting up developer accounts on iOS and Android is a pain. Both services require you to be 18 and its terrible.
Struggling to stay focused. So many distractions, so little time. Any tips for boosting productivity?
Waking up early in the morning and going to the gym in the evening after work🥹.
For my right now, the biggest challenge I am facing is to manage the launch of Azadana. It is going very terrible so far.
Right now, dealing with burnout is my main challenge. The workload has been intense, and it's hard to find time to recharge
