... have tried outbound, LinkedIn, content and partnerships. The problem is that every channel needs enough time and focus before you can tell whether it works. When we spread ourselves across all of them, we end up with activity everywhere and a clear answer nowhere. I am starting to think that testing fewer channels properly is better than having a presence in many. How many channels did you actively test at the same time when you were still figuring ... ...

... Product Hunt I m building Civil All in One Calculator , a mobile app for civil engineers, construction professionals, and engineering students. I started working on it after noticing how many routine engineering calculations are still spread across spreadsheets, websites, separate apps, and manual formulas.

Those who spread their launches out over time for example, launching on other platforms throughout the month. Those who launch everywhere on the same day which, in my opinion, would be suicide. :D What s your launch strategy? If you re launching on multiple platforms, what do you do first?
