I just launched by first product after making it myself for a few months - https://www.producthunt.com/posts/hexacademy-io
I pretty much have no clue about marketing, sales or advertising. Any advice much appreciated, and I'd be grateful for feedback on my product.
Thanks!

I'm trying to figure it out myself. My personal opinion is that marketing very much part art and science. There's no one right way to do it and they could all yield various levels of success. People will have all kinds of opinions, but I think the most important thing is just to keep trying things and see what works. It's frustrating to put work into marketing when there may not be any results, but it seems like it's the only way.

I'm quite the same, but my advice would be to study all that or find a co-founder to cover that. It's super important, sometimes even more than a decent product (sad but true)
Here's some tips:
- I would post more on product hunt to build up more followers before launching. Followers get alerted when you launch so you're increasing the number of eyeballs on your product.
- Put more content in your post. I would recommend at least 2 images and a video.
- Put your social media links in your bio
These are more product hunt tips than general marketing tips, but I think they should serve you well!
Use social media platforms to get reach.
Hi,
It's great to see your focus on sales. A pragmatic strategy can really go a long way:
First, explore your prospective market. Understanding their needs and behaviors allows you to design a product that truly resonates with them. Next, a deep-dive into your competition can help you identify gaps that your idea can fill, setting you apart. Keeping tabs on industry trends can offer important insights and help your idea stay relevant. Lastly, embrace feedback as it's a crucial element of idea evolution.
Tools like ValidatorAI or CheckMyIdea-IA are designed to assist with this. They leverage AI to provide you with a comprehensive evaluation of your idea, offering actionable feedback. This can guide your decision-making process, ultimately saving you time and resources.
