I spent 5 years and $100K to bootstrap a startup and failed. Now working on itslaunchday.com to help founders with marketing.

I did it for 5 years (had been together 7 years when we started). Overall it was good but once we started losing momentum and failing, it was a big challenge to our relationship. She lost trust in me leading the biz and it impacted our personal lives as well. Eventually we divorced.

I'm glad I don't have VC investors for my startup.

We really all thought Bluesky was gonna replace Twitter for a while, didn’t we? 🥲

I just think once you replace basic dev and marketing with a.i, the only differentiator remaining will be personal brand and that’s a marketing skill

No 😂

Indie hacking might be dead soon: 1. A.I is making it super easy to build software 2. 10x more people will ship products even if they don’t know how to code 3. Dev founders will lose their only advantage (knowing how to code) 4. Marketing founders win every market and dev-only founders disappear

Yes that’s the reality 💯

it's only for indie makers by the way that's why i want to keep it affordable, no vc backed startups for now. I might feature vc-startups in dedicated launchdays

thanks Matt 🔥 I'm still figuring it out but so far I sold 50 spots at $29 during an early sale. Once i re-open submission it will be $50 + affiliate rev. but will need to experiment with this

thanks man! i think this can be something special, trying to recapture that early 2021 indie vibe 💙

My Product Hunt alternative is almost ready: 1. It's not a competition, it's a celebration of indie makers. 2. I recorded 20min interviews with each one to present their products. 3. There is a huge discount on every product... but only for people who share it on social media. itslaunchday.com

Wow great idea

Hell yeah. I wish I never have to sell 1 hour of my time again.

Final touches. Should be ready next week 💪

In 2025, I wish your side-project will make enough money to quit your job.

Startup founders: what do you struggle with the most when designing your SaaS? (layout, UX, colors, fonts, logo, etc)

I only watched 3 chapters of Danny Postma's SEO course and already learned: - why the startup I spent 5 years building failed - why most of my new ideas are 💩 Humbling but necessary. Affiliate link because I’m broke www.dannypostma.com/seo-course?v...

I feel there’s a big push from vc backed business to make everyone believe a.i is gonna change everything, but it seems to me that it’s plateauing and still not solved the problem of reliability. It will mess up a lot of industries, but not necessarily make it better

Dagobert Renouf @dagorenouf.com · 21/12/2024
Yes exactly

You’re building the ultimate growth tool 🔥

Well just go with gumroad. They are really bad at communicating announcements, but very reliable as a product in my experience ($100k+ rev)

Dagobert Renouf @dagorenouf.com · 21/12/2024
“you could do this with a.i” -> but It’s important to do things we love and that take us to a happy / calm place, even if it’s not the most absolutely productive, just to keep our mental health in check

I wish there was one platform to rule them all but sadly it’s still quite split

I’m afraid of: - annoying people - getting marked as spam - killing my reputation - being ignored

Yes. Also when the system becomes more complex and something goes wrong, you might not have the knowledge to fix it 🫨

Take a break before starting the new life. I’m rooting for you 💪

No. Go back to bed

You also have a disadvantage: you over engineer everything instead of keeping it simple and ship fast 🥲

I’m 100% certain about this

I’m feeling the thrill of launching a new product again. My feelings jump from thinking it will go massively viral and change the world… to being afraid nobody will care and I will look stupid. Entrepreneur life 😶‍🌫️
