How many times did you pivot?

After 2 years, we pivoted 3 times and it looks like we will pivot 1 more time. I think pivots are essential for startups to survive. What is your story? How many times did you pivot with your startups? P.S. Our product: https://www.bumpy.app

Serious talk: quitting your job to focus full time on your hustle, what did/does it take for you?

TBH, I think chasing your dream is a luxury and not a given, I couldn't just do it out of gut feeling, I had to build toward that. In my case, there have been two determining factors: - a certain level of security for a few months ahead - the right project (have done a couple of projects before, both eventually dropped, the third one was the charm!) What about you?

How many unfinished side projects do you have? 😅

I can't be the only one with an entire folder dedicated to unfinished side projects. Maybe one of them would end up IPO'ing

Would you give 50% of the ownership of your idea-stage startup to someone who can build it entirely

I was asked an exciting question. I personally would not agree to delegate building Unicorn Platform to someone else because I'm too bad at delegating tasks and management. Curious what others think

Would you rather have more time or more money?

A simple question for the PH community. This year, would you prefer to have 2x more time (for family and personal projects) or rather have 2x more money?

15 one-sentence tips to grow your Twitter audience faster 🚀

Hey Product Hunters We all know that building audience and community is a superpower. Building a personal brand also pays off: more people support you during the launch, you can easily find beta testers, and validate new ideas. I went from 0 to 4300 followers on Twitter in 4 months. Here're 15 one-sentence tips: 0-100 followers 1. Use DM to find like-minded people. 2. Treat your Twitter account like a product: set up a value proposition, tone of voice, and "competitor analysis." 3. Set daily targets on posts and replies (ex. 3 posts, 30 replies). 100-1000 followers 4. Make weekly content planning. 5. Experiment a lot. 6. Get inspired by new Tweet formats from influencers. 7. Re-use content: 1 thread can be divided into 10 1-liners. 8. Don't be disappointed with low engagement, it happens even with big accounts. 9. Engage with big accounts right after they post smth (Notify button will help ) 1000+ followers 10. If you want a loyal and active audience, respond to comments (not only with GIFs haha). 11. Be a human, with all this AI flex, people want more life content. 12. Don't post just theory, post your experience and examples. #buildinpublic 13. Analyze what content works better for you and double down on it. 14. Try to go viral: analyze viral content examples and implement them. 15. Experiment with your bio because the conversion from visitor to follower highly depends on it. Try to implement at least 1 advice today and see how it's going Do you have any tips to add? ________________ If you want to learn more, here's the article about growing from 0 to 1000 in 50 days based on my experience https://blog.makerbox.club/1000-...

What advice would you give someone who is starting their own company?

I wish someone had told me how much time it would take. I was so naive when I started my company, thinking that it would be easy to get off the ground and make a name for myself. What I didn't realize until later is that there's so much work involved in building a business and so many things that can go wrong. I'm grateful for my experience now, but if I could go back and tell myself something about starting a company, it would be: "Don't expect things to go smoothly. And if you had to pivot... PIVOT!"
