Whenever I launched something in the past, hardly anyone knew about it. Looking back, it was mostly because I was afraid to talk about what I was building.

Fortunately, I've grown out of that. These days I talk about my product much more (maybe even more than I should ), and it's made a huge difference in getting it noticed.

I wanted to share a few things that worked surprisingly well for my Chrome extension (a LinkedIn activity tracker that alerts you before you hit LinkedIn's limits and trigger account restrictions).

I've always struggled with promoting my own work. It always felt a little awkward because I grew up in an environment where drawing attention to yourself wasn't really encouraged.

That's not exactly ideal when you're trying to build a business, and even less so when marketing is literally how you make a living. :D

In the month that I've been here, I've been noticing a pattern in a lot of launches - strong demos, polished UI, clear outputs of "what it does."

But when I ask myself "What problem does this solve?" I sometimes have to dig for the answer. (I come by that thinking honestly - I've spent 33 years building and fixing businesses, so this is the lens I can't turn off.)
