Ran the same comment through four threads over a month and only one kept generating views weeks later. The difference was not the reply count in the first hour, all four got at least one. It was whether a third person with no connection to me or the OP joined within the first two or three days without being asked.
If it stays just me and the OP going back and forth, that is engagement, not compounding. The one thread that kept going had someone unconnected join inside 48 hours, and that window is also roughly when the other three had already gone flat.
Curious if anyone else tracks this specifically, or if there is an earlier signal worth watching for before the third person even shows up.
At a small company, the CEO may own a problem directly.
At a larger company, the same responsibility may sit with a functional leader, while someone else uses the product day to day and another controls the budget.
Back when I worked in advertising agencies as an idea maker and copywriter (creative), I cared a lot about my CV and portfolio (honestly, I wanted to include almost every project I worked on, as many things as possible).
But whenever I wanted to add something, I realised that many of those projects were team efforts and not entirely my own.
My most valuable '23 lesson you can not grow without trying something new. We reached Ramen profitability with https://www.makerbox.club/ (marketing resources for Solopreneurs) in '22 and decided to double down on what works. The formula was clear: 1. come up with a new product idea
2. build it in public on Twitter
3. launch on Product Hunt
4. acquire users with tweeting, newsletter featurings, writing guest articles, and being active in communities (Indie Hackers & Product Hunt discussions)
5. write valuable content on Twitter The problem is that this formula only worked to get 5K/Monthly. No further growth. In April, we changed the approach and decided to try something new: - double down on email marketing (free newsletters, content freebies, email chains)
- launch a new product type - AI wrapper (paid tool - marketing strategy generator https://founderpal.ai/marketing-...)
- launch free AI wrappers to collect emails & upsell paid products. That was the most successful experiment cause we got SEO & Influencer marketing on autopilot. Millions of views without any effort and sponsorships: TikTok, Reels, Shorts, Newsletters. Tools we launched: 1. Value proposition generator (https://founderpal.ai/value-prop...)
2. User persona generator (https://founderpal.ai/user-perso...)
3. Business ideas generator (https://founderpal.ai/business-i...) Now, we're going to double down on these channels. BUT as soon as we reach the new plateau, we'll return to the experiment stage
Wednesdays are usually the most challenging day to stay focussed for me and I was wondering how you manage to remain productive/motivated on an off day.
SoundCloud went live 18 years ago as a launchpad for independent artists to share their music. Now, it s adding more tools for listeners to share what they re into.
