I have been running into that exact problem for months now, I have early users messaging me with "why don't you talk more of your product? this just what I was looking for it took me hours to find it". So while I agree with the point but honestly: this kind of advice is not helping much, it's like telling an introvert to socialize.
Courses could help maybe? Hiring a consultant for a few hours? Looking for a co-founder specialized in marketing? I think my product is decent, but I always feel awkward Twetting about it, even more since I'm not an avid Twitter user at all.
- MayeulC 5y agoMaybe incentivize your clients to talk about it? Companies seem successful at marketing on social media using giveaways, discounts, etc. It might work for companies as well?
- numlock86 5y agoAs a pure developer you always want at least one person just for sales/marketing if that's not your thing and you want your product visible. Even with SEO the "best product" might stay unnoticed. There are exceptions, of course. But betting on making "the next big thing" like that is just a dream of millions that only really happened to a dozen of people. And even in those few cases it's debatable if it was just because of how good the product was.
- koonsolo 5y agoCan you reframe it as informing/educating your (potential) users? Your product is important, but users knowing how to use it, and what new features are there is also important. At least for me this different mindset made a difference.
