Small wins are the best!
Being consistent is the hardest.

The hardest part for me is the marketing angle, how to attact people, get noticed, etc. It's never been my strong suit. I like making things, always have, but marketing stuff has been a challenge

@ajeyasriganesh That's definitely true!

@codemongo Marketing definitely is hard. But the best way would be to experiment with different communities & different platforms atleast in the beginning & double down on what works.

@gouthamj Yes, that's what I'm working on now. It's like a whole world where I know nothing. Still, I'm checking it out. I came to PH recently for the products - and then discovered the discussions, which are really great. Having a lot of fun reading, learning, and sometimes responding too!
