Here all the links to my posts about our Product Hunt launch.
Hope this helps you get your Product of the Day. 🥇
🔸 Should you launch your product on Product Hunt?
🔸Step 1: Preparation
🔸Step 2: A few days before launch
As promised, this is the first post about our experience launching Product Hunt, where we took first place and reached the top of the week.
I'll describe it step by step.
⚡️Step 1: Preparation ⚡️
The most critical launch part, 90% of success depends on your preparation.
Can anyone say why Apple abandoned the development of its mail at all?
Seriously, this is simply the worst email app in every way. At the same time, a huge number of people use it, and Apple is famous for its interfaces.
What's happening? 🤔
Only in

:
1. Capture a major city
2. Capture airports and military bases
3. You shoot down 5 helicopters and 1 plane
4. You just go home after a call from the president of another state.
5. No consequences.
Here's what he did on Friday.

From 50 to 1000 in less than two months. 🤯
This is incredible! Thank you all for your support!
I wish I could write a guide like I did after we launched on Product Hunt, but the point is, I just posted what I wanted and followed people who interested me. This is the guide. 😅
The biggest red flag is when your cofounder is lying to you.
If you face this, it is better to say goodbye quickly.
Trust is one of the main characteristics of a successful team.
6 months ago, I didn’t use Twitter at all, and I didn’t understand why it was needed. Now, Twitter helps me with everything.
An amazing human ability is to quickly adapt to everything.
So, if you're afraid of doing sales, marketing, networking, or anything else, know this: if
@DeniTechh
About 20 years ago, I heard there would soon be no programmers, lawyers, drivers, accountants, etc.
A good programmer, lawyer, driver, and accountant is very expensive today. 🙂
It looks like OpenAI will be the next trillion-dollar company.
But this will be the first trillion-dollar company, which actually began as a non-profit organization. 😂
@Jason
people who have seen real communism in their lives run as far away from it as possible. People who grew up in a wealthy family under capitalism love to tell how good communism is.
I realized that startups are often about showing off when I came to one accelerator for an open lecture. During the lecture, 80% of the participants took out their MacBooks and started typing something. I had a pen and paper with me.
At the end of the meeting, the speaker began
It often turns out that "$1,000,000 ARR within 3 months of launch" is worth 5 years of development, several pivots, and a change in business model and branding. 😉
When I was 20, I only read literature about business and startups. Closer to 30, I began to actively read classical and modern literature.
And what?
I recommend you read Mario Puzo's immortal classic, The Godfather.
Best book on strategic planning and negotiations. Seriously.

I noticed that if you work a lot on weekends, your body will still want to rest, so it will do it on weekdays and when it is convenient.
To put it simply, your body will take revenge on you later.
I started actively using Twitter about 3 months ago. I looked at the analytics and saw almost 51,000 impressions. This is a lot for a completely new account. I received the same coverage when I published in famous media.
Twitter now really gives you access to a huge audience.
Another great movie I'd like to recommend to you.
⚡️The Founder
I love this movie because, technically, Ray Kroc is not the founder of McDonald's. But McDonald's became a world-famous brand thanks to Ray.
It seems to me that this story is a great example of how a business idea
For the first time in four months, I haven’t posted anything on Twitter for several days.
Here's a short story about why.
On Monday, I was allocated 8 hours for one task. The task turned out to be a little more than I had planned.
In the end, I spent 80 hours. Now, I'm finally
I spent 4 hours writing a post about the results of our launch on Product Hunt and another 4 hours making changes. Received 12,000 views in 3 months.
I spent 15 seconds writing a joke post. Received 20,000 views in 1 day.
Twitter algorithm, bro, what are you doing? 😂
I wrote a post on LinkedIn that Twitter is incredibly cool and received comments from unknown people that I should leave Twitter.
What is this? New boycott or what?
Just now, a guy in a restaurant was loudly boasting that he only works an hour or two a day remotely, and his boss is stupid and doesn’t understand that he doesn’t actually do anything.
I really hope the managers weren't sitting next to this guy. Otherwise, their remote
One of the most significant lessons from this year is that working hard is not enough, you must work smart.
Users love products that don't have a massive number of features but are the most user-friendly, even if they only have one feature.
I'm the same guy who bought an Apple Watch and, a year later, sold it and completely switched to classic watches.
I don't need another device that constantly runs out of charge.
There are special devices for sports and health.
Another day, another product with
"Request demo,"
"Request pricing,"
"Request features list,"
"Request request."
Enough, please, I just want to understand what is your product and how much it costs. 🫠
One of the best pieces of advice I've given myself is: If your company is profitable, start saving for a rainy day.
This advice has saved my business several times.
Some of the most useful ideas for my business came to me while walking, training, relaxing with family and friends, and generally on weekends.
Don't forget to relax, friends, it's good for your business.
Have a great weekend!
One of the weirdest things I've seen this year is a founder raising a seed round and saying he's investing in startups.
I've always believed that the best investment for a founder is to own a startup.
When I started my first business, I didn't know there were investors, so I made it profitable from day one.
Many startups should know that business starts with customers, not investors.
My respect to all Bootstrap founders.
More and more often, I meet people who apparently think that they will live forever.
This is expressed in people’s confidence that they can afford or do something only in 10-15 years.
This is madness. Live today. Create startups, travel, care for your family, and do whatever
Finally watched WeCrashed.
I am still shocked that such management could even exist in a company with a capitalization peak of $47 billion.
My head explodes again. The first was after I read about how FTX is managed.
When you count every dollar of expenses, fight for every
Lately, I’ve read the news that now is the worst time for startups.
It turns out that the best time is now.
By the time your startup reaches the point where it needs investment, times will be great. 😅
So it's better to start now.
