Who's launching on Product Hunt soon?
🏆 After I got "Maker of the Year 2022", I worked on this guide to share what I learned by launching more than 10 times
Want it?

@mehdi_khoudali Hard choices now -> easy life later
Easy choices now -> hard life later
Want to be part of the 1% ? do what the 99% don't do.
You just make a choice.
If you are able to work on your business with such discipline at your age, you will inevitably one day end up being successful.
I think right now is the greatest time to launch a startup in 10+ years
You should probably consider starting/joining something early
8 big reasons why:
1. You can start with the community
I’ve identified ~8000 subreddits that could support a ~$1M/year business
Find an underserved niche, find what they love, build an audience for them and then begin crafting your minimum viable product
Bonus: you often need $400 max to build MVP to tap that untapped value
Sounds like a dream experiment to me
2. You can run a $100m/year business from your iPhone
I have a friend who’s company makes ~$100m/yr in revenue
Background:
- He started it in 2018
- It’s niche, in the pet-space
- Unbundled from a FB Group
- Runs multiple meme pages to support growth
- Moved from SF to Malta because he likes the vibe
- He runs his entire biz from his iPhone on an island!
3. You have 10x the amount of funding sources
You used to have to rely on VCs. Not anymore
To name a few:
- Fund via your community
- Fund via SBA loans
- Fund via accelerators all over the world
- etc
My point:
Capital has dried up from traditional sources, but it's lighting up from untraditional sources
4. My head spins thinking about how much is changing in our world right now
Ex:
- ↑ creators who need support
- ↑ social commerce
- ↑ sustainability products
- ↑ internet usage across the globe
- ↑ Desire for people to save/make $ during the downturn
Example: we started @boringmarketer when people kept asking us how to make more revenue and we kept saying SEO. And it's working for clients and us.
Now we're doing 7 figures of revenue and we haven't even put the pedal on the gas. The demand for cheap customer acquisition is just sky high and the team delivers.
And we can reinvest that revenue to build software to help clients or spin out to separate businesses.
More on that in a future newsletter post (link in bio)
5. Niche businesses can be worth billions
People used to laugh at niche
Why “go small” when you could “go big”?
The way to go big right now IS to go small
Large tech companies can’t be everything to everyone
Everything is unbundling before our eyes
- Facebook groups
- eBay
- Zoom
- Etsy
- FB Groups
You can attract niches easier than ever
Start with the community, then build software
VERSUS
Start with software, then build community
(might want to bookmark this so you don't forget)
6. AI/No-code/low-code tools
Launching isn’t the hard part anymore
The hard part:
- Building community
- Creating an opinionated product
- Co-building with the community
- Finding wonderful teammates
- Community/product fit
The tools are out there. You know it's faster and cheaper than ever to build.
The knowledge is out there
Between podcasts, internet communities, YouTube, X and LinkedIn, the "secrets" to startup are at your disposal
And it’s free…grab it
The playing field is leveling
SF held the monopoly on startups for decades
If you wanted to be in tech, you had to be there
Now, it barely matters if you're sitting in San Francisco or Santiago
7. More risk aversion because of the economic downturn
↑ fear, ↓ makers, ↑ higher chance of success
8. Short form video
Love it or hate it, all social platforms (including X) prioritize video.
They are giving entrepreneurs a window to be able to share their product with millions for free
The hard part is coming creating content and stories that spread on those platforms
But it's happening daily
I know the sentiment right now is pretty negative about the economy but hopefully this is a sign to take that leap.
Bottom line...
This is an exceptional time to be building.
If you have a job you love? Get building
If you a job you hate? Get building
If you just got laid off? Get building
If you're building? Stop reading this tweet and get back to building ;)

Today is my last day being a solo founder.
Here's how I've built Pallyy to $74K MRR solo:
➜ Learning to code
Spent 6 months or so learning HTML, CSS, JS and Nuxt.
Every evening would spend a few hrs doing this with CodeCademy (a free learning platform).
➜ Building an MVP
Spent 30 days building a MVP of an Instagram analytics platform.
Point of difference would be that you could "share" your Instagram analytics with others.
It was very very basic.
➜ Launch
Launching was un-eventful, I had no audience.
Launched on ProductHunt but didn't do well and got almost no response from it.
➜ First customers
Friend had a free IG analytics tool, he gave it to me & we redirected it to my platform.
Ended up getting me around 100 customers (at $5/mo).
➜ Pivoting
The initial "sharing" feature I'd built, absolutely nobody wanted.
Removed it and focused on the analytics dashboard.
➜ Plateau
Growth completely stalled, in total for almost 2 years.
People wanted scheduling & analytics but at the time Instagram scheduling wasn't possible due to their API.
➜ Pivoting (#2)
Instagram opened their API to allow anyone to publish posts.
Within a week I'd built the scheduling feature.
In the coming months added other social platforms and it quickly became the #1 feature.
➜ Rebrand
Initially it was called "Sharemyinsights".
Now with scheduling as the main feature, needed to re-brand.
"Pallyy" was short, a cheap dot com and fun but also not limiting to a certain feature.
Logo cost me $1500.
➜ Marketing
Took me 2 years before I started marketing properly.
Hired a content writer to do blog posts & social posts.
Then I started:
- optimizing the SEO
- creating feature pages
- creating alternative pages
- an affiliate program
This was the turning point.
The following year had around 10x growth.
➜ Price increase (today)
Increased the price for all of my users by $3.
This has given Pally the biggest revenue boost to date ($10K+).
➜ Expanding the team (tomorrow)
It's been amazing doing everything by myself for 4 years, but it's time to expand.
Hired a senior developer who is starting tomorrow 🥳
Planning on hiring a customer support and marketing role in the near future.
➜ Conclusion
Anyone can build a SaaS.
The motivation for me was building a better lifestyle.
I've got no degrees, dropped out of school, had zero coding or marketing knowledge.
Just get started and learn along the way.
Je vois rien a plus de 3 mètres, et si je veux me faire opérer des yeux c'est pas rembourser par contre si je veux m'appeler antoinette et me charcuter la bite là c'est ok
