I’m Nik, I built a no-code hiring platform from $0 to $80K MRR and achieved 30% MoM. AMA!

@inna_proshkina thanks for asking!

@inna_proshkina Our Product Hunt is a full day of work! We do preparation with the visuals, copy and positioning + marketing strategy.

@inna_proshkina I believe that the day of the week is not as critical as having fit with the PH audience. Are you sure that your users are on Product Hunt. And congrats on launching!

@kodjima33 these are obvious and generic things to say, I was hoping to get more. The devil is in details ;)

@inna_proshkina In details: - we did minutes by minutes plan - we used all our marketing channels to inform our community that we launched - we changed the copy on the website, targeting the PH audience. Being #1 is not about some tips and tricks. If the PH community doesn't like your product (your product doesn't meet its needs), no amount of "hack" will help. PH algorithm is very smart. Also, it's a community place, not a platform to only promote your product. Those are details that matter: founders who are engaged with the community and feel what is important for it - are getting better results. Founders, who try to trick the system ends up having a lot of upvotes but a lower position on the page

@suzgupta huge thanks for joining my AMA!

@suzgupta > really interesting platform. huge thanks for the feedback!

@suzgupta > who are the developers we would get on our project; > what sort of experience do they have? We have our own no-code development team. We carefully select each of our no-code developers, having interviews, and internal learning program, and qualifications checks. That allows us to keep the quality of skills, which people are bringing, and the quality of the work output. For every project, we have an internal review, so we are 100% sure that we are delivering what we promised.

@kodjima33 Can clients select a particular developer and, if so, what criteria can we see about them beforehand?

@suzgupta Thanks for diving deeper. We have an internal selection. There are 100+ no-code tools, which we support and every developer has their own core focus. We internally match that developer with the project, knowing that this no-code dev made many similar projects exactly for this user story ("make Airbnb-like app with a focus on Indian market"). This allows keeping speed. Also, it reduce time for client < - >no-code developer communication. Let's it be like this - we are also doing internal project management.

@brent_haldiman Thanx, Brent! I’m motivated by speed and results. The faster I move, the more energy I have. Also, walking, working remotely and constant communication keeps my energy level high.

@evgene appreciate the kind words!

@digitalkeith Keith hello! thanks for your nice words.

@digitalkeith Growth is starting with funding product-market-fit. If you meet users' needs with your solution, the growth and marketing is becoming much easier. A few tips: focus on speed do more, talk less track your metrics from the day 0 always run user interviews and listen to users hire the best possible people, if you can’t ask for their advice Our marketing is a mix of product-led growth, paid channels and outbound sales. Until right now we even didn’t have a marketing team, so all the growth was happening thanks to the product, which meets user needs.

@digitalkeith and I hope, I will have much more lessons to share when I will go to 1M MRR.

@nusatarisu Thanks for joining in the AMA!

@es_toledo Thanks a lot for asking a question!

@es_toledo I will combine my previous answers if you don't mind :) So, I'm a second-time founder. My first company I started five years ago (I wanted to build a platform for managing crypto assets and trading on several crypto exchanges). It only resulted in me spending something like $300,000 and three years of my life on it. My development process was not very successful, which resulted in constant switching from one software development team to another. The end of this story is sad - that product never became live. Afterward, I joined a 500Startups accelerator program with another company which exited. During my time at 500startups I learned about no code and finally felt the freedom of building products fast and myself. That’s how I started with WeLoveNoCode. How we did we get growth: Our marketing was kind of secondary, compering to defining users' needs. We spot user problems and value prop: fast, affordable, simple no-code development, which gives users ready product. All this in weeks. Regarding channels for no-code: it really depends on your persona. Some no-code tools, like forms, can be used in very big companies by specific teams (design team, marketing team). While others, like WeLoveNoCode, are best for fast MVP creation for smaller teams. So our channels are: social media ads Google ads Product Hunt

@graeme_fulton hello Graeme! Great work with Prototypr!

@graeme_fulton > With the hiring company doing well, do you think to build a no code app too? WeLoveNoCode is a platform for getting matched with a no code developer and release your product super fast. WLNC itself is build with no-code. For now, we are not planning to make our own no code tool.

@graeme_fulton The reason for this is simple - there are many no code tools out there, so it doesn't really make sense to compete.

@alex_miller11 how do you find the PH launch so far?

@kodjima33 well, the launch on PH is worth the efforts as we already see more attention to our product and new subscribers.

@kate_vasil thanks for your kind words!

@kate_vasil Well, when there are a lot of products, which competes for the attention, you also have some benefits: - those products/teams are bringing their users and community on PH - your product, if it's on the main page, gets more attention as well Agree?

@kodjima33 Make sense!! What do you think about our product? We’ve launched today!!!

@kate_vasil I saw you on the main page.
