No! Our graveyards are too big as it is!
I'm half kidding, half serious. I found myself in your exact position several times before. Often times, the reality isn't that "nobody cares about our projects" but really that they haven't seen enough love from "other side".
As developers, we excel at building great products. We often think that a great product will sell itself, and that people will be excited to buy after just hearing about what we have to offer. I've definitely found myself in this frame of mind time and time again, I've found that this simply isn't the case. Even the greatest products in the world needs some love from the sales/marketing fronts, and without that, it's particularly difficult to "get people excited" about what you have to offer. Thinking that "nobody cares about our projects as much as we do" is something that I have found particularly destructive to my project success and progress (and often leads to a larger graveyard). Hopefully my app can help projects like ours get a chance at some traction and get people to care!
END THE GRAVEYARD! GIVE YOUR PROJECT A CHANCE AT THE LIME LIGHT!
Very pumped to get some developer feedback here as well, much appreciated! I'll post the app soon, let's get your graveyard back up and running!
- mars4rp 9y agoGreat, but if the problem is marketing, how do you market it? Loool
- lovedev 9y agoOne of the hardest parts! Marketing and sales are big time consumers that take away from my ability to build great products. And to be honest, my skill sets lie elsewhere. I’m hoping that this app can help developers with the sales, and with a few successes and iterations on the idea, help with marketing too. Initially I’d like the app to be very clean and focused, which is why it’s limited to connecting only dev and sales for now. So many other apps have too many options and are focused on “building teams” or finding “co-founders”. This app’s goal is simple: Let’s get dev some help, and give sales some side hustle opportunities. They both have incentive to help each other out, bring great projects to life, and make a few extra bucks while they’re at it.
