I'm a junior product marketer looking for advice. My team and I just launched a service called RoundUp, which is a free Chrome extension made for HR professionals. It's like a memopad that pops open inside Google Meet, where they can fill out candidate reviews once the interview is over - and it automatically links to a Dashboard, where HR folks can see everything in one place. It's got very basic features (so a MVP) and of course there are many things we need to get to. I'm new to doing product marketing and would love some advice from those who's gone through this phase of trying to grow the userbase from a grassroots perspective. What was the best way to get users on your site/product/service at the beginning? Were people willing to give you feedback and advice? (How did you find them?) Would love to hear your stories/kind advice!

Do I have any regrets? Far from it.

Simple question - as part of your marketing strategy, personal branding, or just maybe some thoughts on paper kind of deal. Would love to hear people who blog and the reasons why Also perhaps a bonus - maybe how you grew your blog if you managed to do so? For me personally, I managed to grow on Medium but it did take some time!
Hey there!
I need your help: my MacBook pro was used to a very tempered climate (aka weather) but I recently moved to a warmer region and it's clear that my laptop is not enjoying it at all. How do you keep your laptop from turning into a helicopter on fire? All recommendations welcomed (except the ones suggesting a new laptop ) Thank you!
I recently switch from Chrome to Edge, because I got tired of my laptop sounding like it was about to blast off into space. It seemed like a lot of folks enjoyed Edge so I decided to give it a shot. So far, I've been pleased with it. Just curious what others are using.
Hey everyone! I'm back from my pat leave and missed most of the July launches :( So was curious to know what are some products that caught your attention. Tag the makers and bonus points to those who point why the product is a fav! Thanks for replying
I'm a maker, marketer, writer and community builder, and a huge fan of the creator economy. I'm obsessed with newsletters and am addicted to creating new things & optimizing operational workflows using no-code tools. I started writing a newsletter, BrainPint last year and tumbled into a newsletter rabbit hole, which led me to create Newsletter Operating System, an all-in-one resource for newsletter writers built on Notion. It has helped more than 1,100 newsletter writers start, grow, organize and earn from their newsletters. I pivoted from corporate life to tech and am currently the Program Manager at On Deck s No-Code Fellowship. I m surrounded by amazing builders who play positive-sum games and am so thankful for that! I love to learn, curate, write and build things, in addition to social dancing, travel (hopefully I can get back to that!), and trivia. I'll be here on 5th August at 9AM PST / 6PM CET to answer any questions about newsletters, Notion, no-code, info products, building in public, curation, the creator economy and even how to break into tech! Basically, ask me anything. Drop your questions below
I have 5-6 personal email addresses and want to streamline the whole process by collecting and responding from one place. Please suggest tools/ways/methods to simplify the whole process and increase productivity :)
It would be great if social DMs (Facebook, Twitter, IG) etc could also be handled from the same place. In short, Intercom/Front/Drift like tool but for personal use
Hey, makers! I keep reading the Traction book by Gabriel Weinberg and Justin Mares, and it says we should always have an explicit TRACTION GOAL we re working toward. This could be 1K paying customers, 100 new daily customers, or 10% of our market. They write this should be a goal where we hit the mark would change things significantly for our project s outcome. We've hit 100 subscribers on the waiting list a few days ago, and I'm trying to set the next traction goal for Getlanding.io. I think it should be 50 initial users who have tried our product. What do you think about that, and what's your traction goal now?
Hey! Dru here. Founder of Trends.vc. We help entrepreneurs discover new markets and ideas. In February 2017, with $250,000 in savings and no plan other than taking a mini-retirement, I quit my job as a big-data engineer. I spent the next three years traveling and learning, practicing Jiu-Jitsu, doing improv, and building products on the side. On February 10th, 2020 I posted the first-ever Trends Report, focusing on Problem, Players, Predictions, Opportunities, Haters, Solutions, and Key Lessons.Since then Trends.vc reached 48,000+ subscribers and 1,000+ Trends Pro Members. Happy to answer any questions on topics we've covered or the journey so far. AMA!
