I was scrolling through X today when one of my X friends shared screenshots of two employees who recently moved from Anthropic to OpenAI.
We had an era when people were leaving OpenAI for Anthropic in large numbers, Sam Altman was becoming the second most-hated Mark Zuckerberg, and Anthropic was attracting talent from OpenAI.
Hi! I'm Justin Jackson. My friend Jon Buda and I launched https://transistor.fm/ (podcast hosting and analytics) four years ago on Product Hunt. Since then we've been able to quit our day jobs, acquire thousands of customers, earn millions in revenue, and hire two amazing people. Here's a retrospective: https://transistor.fm/anniversary/ Ask me anything about bootstrapping, product-market fit, why choosing your market is the most crucial decision you'll make, SaaS, building in public, and more! I'll answer the questions on August 4th.
- I'm a B2B tech/SaaS marketer. Organic LinkedIn is the best channel for me. - For my enterprise clients, the best channels are personal founders' network, organic LinkedIn, visiting podcasts/conferences, and different partnerships. - For clients with cheap B2B products, the best channels are LinkedIn, building in public on X, integrations with other tools, and free side tools/templates. What about you?
In our traditional work world, we're used to meetings (video or not) where we all attend at the same time. However, in our new remote work world, asynchronous communication is taking hold. This happens when information is shared and people can respond and collaborate on their own time. (Here is an example: https://app.weet.co/play/707395d... ) Does sharing information asynchronously appeal to you? Do you like the idea of sharing info and waiting a few hours (or a day) for responses in exchange for the convenience of responding on your own time?
Do you like the idea of not having to respond instantly?
Do you think it's beneficial to have more time to "think on" big decisions and have more clarity before moving forward? I'm curious to know how readily you would adopt asynchronous communication. Any insights would be helpful
A lot of people try to avoid launching their product on weekends because the traffic isn t as high as it is on weekdays. (And yes, that s true. But I still believe that launching on weekends comes with a lot of advantages.)
For example, the benefits are:
Since there s less launch saturation and lower competition, with the right strategy, you have a better chance of ranking in top positions.
You can discover a lot of great lifestyle products and products in the fun category.
There s also a higher chance of getting more personal interactions and catching up on old notifications during the week, things move fast, and I often use weekends to catch up on conversations I didn t have time for.
One minor thing: You will not lose your PH streak.
Not a pity post I've recovered and I'm launching again in six weeks. But I want to write down the post-mortem while it's still fresh, because I made three mistakes that I now see everywhere in other people's launches.
Mistake one: I treated the launch as the marketing, not a moment in an existing marketing motion. I had no list, no audience, no warm network on PH. 63 upvotes was basically my friends plus luck.
Mistake two: my tagline described the category ("AI-powered project management") instead of a result. Nobody clicks a category.
Mistake three: I launched on a Tuesday because "Tuesday sounds good." I had no idea what else was launching that day. Two well-known companies launched the same day and I was invisible.
