Hey Product Hunters, what is the most time consuming segment of your project and how do you delegate the time to be more efficient?

At the moment it's our product hunt launch Liffery, which is happening today.
Also, we have recently been spending a lot of time on what I call the "verbal product" so everything that helps communicate our internal vision to the outside world.
Of course, building a technical product always takes a lot of work, but I guess that's kind of obvious :)

@janine_nitz Hi Janine, could you say a few words about your verbal product? How does it work?
@w_j Certainly! So whenever you have an application there is always the technical product. It is built based on (hopefully) customer needs and then requirements. The verbal product refers to how you communicate your product to different audiences. Although the technical solution is the backbone and doesn't change, depending on which audience you are addressing, you will have to talk about your product differently. You might point out different features or use different vocabulary entirely depending on who you are addressing, but your product is still the same. At Liffery we have coined this the verbal product or product(s) for that matter. Especially when starting a business you also might need to experiment to see which wording resonates best with your audience, so you would only change the verbal product, but the solution in the background stays the same.
@vladimir_zivkovic @janine_nitz Why can't I see the upvote button Janine? Would love to support
than you @byhazellim
make sure you go on the launch page, not the product page PH won't let me link, but the URL is this:

@janine_nitz like how you coined it with a name.
I imagine it helps with team focus on that outcome.
1. Product design
2. Competitive product research
3. Code writing
4. Test tuning
Among them, product design and code writing take more time.
@nick_ma666 This is really a brainstorming job like generating new ideas to solve a problem but not with ChatGPT takes a lot of time and energy.
And then Designing product's UI/UX and make it code take huge amounts life as well dollar.
But if you get 23000+ design access and many of coded template like your dream with reselling access and absolutely in your own platform?
Surprised?

I prioritize tasks by their impact on overall project success. This helps me allocate more time to crucial segments and delegate lesser important ones to team members.
@realvladgolub This works for me too. Allocating time based on severity and impact makes me the more productive compared to say, setting a template for time distribution. Context is key
Fixing Bugs. Especially when I don't know wher they come from. After that it is generating growth!

For Narrated Tours (narratedtours.com) it's the build process. I do not have a tech background so it took a frustratingly long time to fix even the tiniest bug. Even then it's still not 100% perfect.
For anyone curious it is built using no-code tools AND code written by GPT. Yes, it's been a wild ride π
At this current time with paylinkz.app it has to be marketing and content creation. Probably because it is not my strongest area
1. Overthinking various aspects like marketing and planning tasks
@e_box @vladimir_zivkovic That's a great tip, I've been in the constant battle of trying not to overbuild or perfect everything
@e_box @ericka_gonzalez Every founder have that problem, so you are not alone π
@ericka_gonzalez @vladimir_zivkovic Many founders get stuck in this position. As much as possible, create an MVP with minimal code to just assess market demand first.
I previously had a market, but I hesitated because the technology was too complicated to work on
As a Product Hunter, the most time-consuming segment of my project is typically the research and development phase. To delegate time more efficiently, I prioritize tasks by importance and set clear deadlines. I also collaborate with team members, assigning specific responsibilities and leveraging their expertise. Regular communication and using project management tools help streamline processes, ensuring optimal efficiency throughout the project lifecycle.
Oh boy, that would be scriptwriting for me. We're a video production service, so we take care of the entire pre-production process as well, including writing scripts. I spend so much time getting the perfect intro and the catchiest wordplay only to overthink everything and then start all over again.
I guess I manage to be more efficient by stopping myself from overthinking. I like to write out my ideas, organize them, review them a few times, and then let my team look through my writing and tell me what they think should be changed. I trust their judgment and they always get straight to the point, so this saves me a lot of time and stress.
Marketing, or more accurately thinking about marketing and how to get the word out.
@frank_apap This is really a tough job! But you may share your website here, I will try to help you from my experience.
marketing! Trying to figure out AI automation to make life easier!
Itβs always marketing for me, I build even complex product in days but find marketing most challenging π₯
Worrying if I'm describing my product right in such a way that the users feel compelled to try it out. ChatGPT only made it worse.
Initial marketing of my new startup OpenTools.ai . Getting the first boost always takes time.
designing, writing, sharing. AI tools do the heavy lifting and I make proper changes.
The training process involves processing and analyzing vast amounts of text data to learn patterns, relationships, and linguistic structures. This step requires powerful hardware and extensive computational resources to train a model with billions of parameters, such as GPT-3.5.
Once the initial training is complete, ongoing maintenance and updates also require computational resources. This can involve tasks like adding new data to improve performance, addressing biases, fixing bugs, and making general improvements to enhance the model's capabilities.
However, it's important to note that as an AI model, my responses are generated based on pre-existing knowledge and patterns learned during training, rather than real-time computations. So, while training and maintenance processes require significant time and resources, the actual response generation during interactions is relatively quick. In this way you can generate power from different sources.
For me, content generation consumes the most amount of time at the moment.
Understanding all the challenges faced by the technical team and other stakeholders, understanding how to make it easier and accessible for our customers to learn from.
Since we are a academy, we focus on teaching. So content is pretty much our break and butter.
