Lessons from Week One
- Build something you want: The world is vast. If you need something, others likely do too—you just need to find them.
- Stay minimalist: Every increase in project complexity adds maintenance cost. Don't over-engineer if you want long-term survival.
- Community power: Communities are essential for exchanging ideas and acquiring early adopters. I learned to invite readers to join the community at the end of every blog post.
- AI is a marketing superpower: Posting to Reddit's r/snoring based on AI suggestions yielded unexpectedly great results.
- Charging is validating! Don't fear charging. Only when users pay does it prove you're delivering real value.
- Keep promotions simple: When running campaigns, direct and simple rules work best—don't make users jump through hoops for rewards.
