For Notion Backups, it was a mix of Hacker News and SEO, if my memory serves me well. These days, it is mostly SEO, with some word of mouth/directories (SEO is hard to replicate if you are in a crowded market or don't have any unfair advantages).
I'm on the team "start talking about your product early on, even if you don't have the mvp ready". Don't worry about someone stealing your idea.
If the product can solve someone's problem, it is good enough, even if it won't solve all the problems your potential customers might have.
- GravityLab 3y agoThanks for the input. I saw on your profile that you sold a company before. That’s super cool, especially since it contrasts nicely with what you said about not being afraid of talking about your products or showcasing them early on. I’m still working on being comfortable with that concept but I’d love to get there. Especially since it’d be cool to talk tech with new tech friends irl, who would probably be more inclined to do so if they knew more about my own project…
- jmstfv 3y agoTake one step at a time — it will get easier with time. The fact that you started this thread is already a step in that direction. Regarding selling a company: I sold it because it wasn't very successful and I couldn't find a reliable distribution channel, so it wasn't going anywhere. I let it go for very low five figures, which wasn't a lot, but better than nothing.
