Hey PH community just shipped my first independent storefront and would love feedback / brutally honest critique.
What it is: 8 products total at https://onmylist.gumroad.com/ , all centred on AI adoption for Indian small businesses (1-25 person teams). The flagship is a 14-page brief that ranks 10 specific AI workflows by hours-saved-per-week monthly cost in INR, with 30+ copy-paste prompt templates and a tools comparison across 9 categories.
Self-serve Framer template + 3 booking widgets (pricing estimator, before/after slider, sticky WhatsApp) for aesthetic & derm clinics. Core $59. Pro agency/multi-brand license $169. Instant download — no discovery call, no quote. Built so a clinic owner or solo designer can ship a modern clinic site in an afternoon instead of paying $2k+ and waiting 3 weeks. Checkout via Payhip. Live demo on the landing page.
I've always been on the personal brand side. More and more founders are building it now (sometimes even before the product is ready while it's still in development, before seed fundraising). The CEO builds their position so the product sells more easily at the official launch.
But I have experience with people who built the product, scaled it, and only then did we discover who was behind it.
Honestly, with the first approach, I'd be concerned that people invest more in me as a person than in the product. People would idealise the founder and overlook the product's flaws (which could hurt development and constructive feedback).
+ I noticed the most common mistake that many people who started building a personal brand first, connected their product to their personal accounts (emails, social media, etc.) and started having a problem selling these things, because they cannot "give someone keys" to their personal profiles.
