Marketing isn’t a problem if your product is good. You could waste a lot of time learning the usual marketing tactics. It’s way better to spend this time talking to customer and learn how to build.
If you build something people really want you just need to tell them that you built a solution and you got a client.
- yawnxyz 3y agoThere are also a lot of great products that don’t communicate what they do well — there’s some intersection between marketing and good UX there. Making something “people want” inherently has “marketing” implied - people don’t want something they’ve never heard of!
- apples_oranges 3y agoIf it's obvious someone with marketing skills can also steal it and sell as their own .. but if not, they won't know until it's too late
- CM30 3y agoEh, I wouldn't agree with this. As much as it comes up a lot on Hacker News, it's not always as easy as 'build it and they'll come'. Many mediocre products and services have won out over good ones due to decent marketing, and you can likely name many of them in the enterprise world especially. You'll probably need a base level of competence for people to keep using your product/service at all, but most people's attitudes are "if it does what I need it to, it's good enough"
