Pretty Prompt

Pretty Prompt x Hubspot: Learnings from a weekend hack to 18k users

I was doubting myself about whether I should post this. It's hard to share your real story in front of thousands of people and not be critical about it. But it s out !

All the slides from the HubSpot x Pretty Prompt event - Preview here

Feels a bit cringe. But you do what you have to do to grow your company, and maybe these learnings help other builders scale their products as we did.

Project management OS

What’s your #1 challenge or lesson from a product launch?

Launching a product is wild- one minute you re pumped, next minute you hit a wall!

I m Deepak, founder of Product Launch OS. After helping 200+ founders and refining every part of our launch dashboard, I know every story is different.

What launch advice do you swear by?
Any major oops moments, lessons learned, or productivity hacks you recommend?
What communities, platforms, or tools gave you a real boost?

I analyzed why 34 products that hit #1 on PH never made $1k MRR. And im lowkey disturbed

ok so weird backstory - ive been building products for startups for like 8 years now and i got obsessed with this question: why do products that KILL IT on product hunt just... die?

like were talking #1 product of the day, 1000+ upvotes, features in newsletters, the whole thing. and then 6 months later? dead or making $300/month

LaunchPedia

9 Things I realized while making $5,000 from my startup 🤯Hey Makers, Nithin and I started LaunchPedia on Jan 8th 2023 and it's been an year of roller coaster ride From literally making no money in the first 6 months and coming close to shutting down, to making $5000 from our digital products in the last 4 months. Here are the 9 lessons I learned from our journey: It's not wrong to pivot. It's better than giving up. Build multiple small bets, until you know what works Plan monetization whenever you're building a new product Build products that make money, especially when your savings are on line Don't overlook email marketing. Collect email addresses, build funnels and setup email sequences from day 1 Don t delay your launch. Ship fast, validate the idea, get feedback, and iterate. Leverage side project marketing. Build free tools and directory sites to increase your distribution and upsell your paid products. Validate the idea using short term distribution strategies. Ex: PH launch, listing on directories, & Ads. You don't need to build fancy products, you can also build info products as long as it is helping people.
