Hi PH I would like to share experiences on how to get early feedback and validation when launching a new product Let's start with mine... 1. In January I created a landing page about my new product with the goal of collecting early adopters e-mails 2. I searched on LinkedIn for professionals that can benefit from my new product. In my case I looked for "conversational designers" and I obtained a list of 6 hundreds people approx.
3. I created a sequence (thanks to an automation tool) to engage with those people on LinkedIn: view profile, follow, send an invite, endorse skills and a couple of follow-up messages to request if they were interested to get early access to the new product.
4. Once they land on the landing page, I started engaging with them directly on the landing page through a widget and a conversational application that I built with my brand new no-code design studio in a few minutes. In this way I obtained the first 100 early adopters. This helped me a lot to gather feedback and improve the product before the launch scheduled on Thursday, Feb 9th. What about your experience to look for early adopters?
Meow Tuesday I recently stumbled upon Volta an elegant GitHub desktop app and realized that Product Hunt is full of *great* products not featured on the front page. Some of my best discoveries so far:
Dub
Volta
Design Data Platforms 101
Linear 2022 release
Let's find those hidden gems! What products *not featured* should deserve a spotlight? Edit: I just started this collection to collect 'em all and will update it with your contributions Thanks!
Jeanne Baret, Frida Kahlo, Virginia Wolf, Sabiha Gokcen the ones first appears in my mind. I respect women in history and I believe it was even harder to achieve any success back then.
