My biggest learning from purchasing Reddit ads this year was that they have "restricted verticals" which means certain categories of advertising are only allowed if you have a managed account. Definitely something to look into ahead of time if you're thinking about using them!

I'm newer to product hunt but I can understand where you're coming from. I've had a lot of fun supporting other launches and testing new products but if it's a one-way street with no back-and-forth discussion or support that would get old fast.

Striking the right balance is key. With our product Haystack our goal is to combine the power of AI with human touch. We want our users to feel like our chatbot's responses are backed by our experience with startups, entrepreneurs, and SMBs.

Definitely more time job searching. I applied to over 300 jobs during a 5 month period and the positions I got interviews for were the ones with no cover letter attached. If there was a position I really felt was a great fit for me and it was required, then I'd attach a cover letter. I would still love to try your product though it's a great idea!

I like to explore it on my own and wait until I run into an issue or have a question before looking for a tutorial or guide.

Can't wait to try your new app! I haven't found anything I'm 100% happy with that creates images so far.

I don't mind them especially if they've done their research and their product or service is of interest to me or could benefit my current project. What's more annoying is trying to unsubscribe from marketing e-mails and never being removed from the list.

The first time I tried it nothing happened and it said "error" but the second time it worked perfectly and rendered a really great image! Awesome product!

Most of them are awful and don't even come close to answering whatever question you're asking especially when it's customer service related. It's just a huge waste of time.

Time blocking is a great idea as well as to-do/task lists. If you have something like Trello or Jira just keep that tab open and click back to it often to stay on target.

Jira, Slack, along with Gmail/calendar. Meeting notifications 10mins before have saved me so many times!

That's amazing! What part was most important to your success?

Looks great definitely going to try it!

If you're starting with zero prospective clients marketing/outreach is huge. I worked with one startup that was set up to go from nothing to 500k contracts with just a client or two. However, learning how to identify those clients and develop effective outreach was a struggle.

Slack and Jira, but Trello is great too!

This looks like it would be a great tool for startups and entrepreneurs!
