It's a marketing week for me. I am following @yongfook idea to have 1 week of development and 1 week of marketing. But do you also get the urge to setup a blog and code and call it "marketing" or is it just me?

This is how I use my product clipmonkey.net .

I am looking to get my first beta users. If you like the product and you want to save hours editing your videos sign up or let me know if you have any questions!

Here's a demo:

Should I share my startup clipmonkey.net on @ProductHunt although is missing a lot of features and doesn't work very well on mobile?

If you shared your startup before on #producthunt and you have experience share the tips πŸ˜…

3️⃣ If you would like to use it I am trying to get my first early beta users. Let me know or go ahead and sign up at clipmonkey.net

1️⃣ There's an amazing feel when you use your own product and it does work as expected!

I was making promo videos today for clipmonkey.net and I used clipmonkey to automatically add captions in a matter of seconds.

Thanks man! I really appreciate it since I am at the beginning of my journey. I think I might try to do a directory type of website as a second project

Hey congrats! Could you share some tips how you grew the project?

6️⃣ Next experiments:
β€’ Reddit ads πŸ”
β€’ Google campaigns 🎯
β€’ Instagram promos πŸ“±

Following my journey? I'm documenting EVERYTHING - failures, wins, and all the stuff in between.

RT if you've had similar marketing struggles! What platform worked best for you?

5️⃣ πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ Need a phone number from an "approved" country. (Workarounds exist but I'm hunting quick wins right now)

X/Twitter ads? Hit a wall there too. Support finally replied: "Need Premium account to run ads." Might be worth another shot! πŸ€”

4️⃣ ❌ From what I understand depending on the country you have opened the account, this is what TikTok will try to target. Therefore, since I am in Cyprus this would not work for me πŸ˜”

Plot twist: Tried creating a proper TikTok Ads account but Cyprus isn't even on their list!

The journey of a 100 miles begins with the first step.

Start that side project.
Start going to the gym.
Start eating healthy.
Stop wasting energy on things you cannot control.
Start.

Let’s go!

βœ… Shipped the product after 5+ months of coding & iterations
βœ… Facing the scariest part now: waiting for that first user
βœ… Learning that launching is only 50% of the battle
βœ… Starting to learn how to do marketing and distribution is far more important that just the idea.

Building In Public: Day 162 πŸš€
Just launched my SaaS 2 days ago after 160 days of building! I am looking for my first 10 beta users.

DM me to get access.

Building in public taught me that the journey doesn't end at launch - it's just beginning:
