Solopreneurs VS. Big Corporates on Product Hunt—Do we even stand a chance?

Hey Hunters 👋 As a solopreneur, it can feel unfair to compete against big startups with 15 employees, a solid user base, and $$$. But it shouldn't. We have solid competitive advantages. I launched 10 startups in 2022 and managed to get most to the top 5. Here are 3 tips for your next Product Hunt day: 1. Sell your story What's more interesting? - Rich people investing in a startup to make more money? - Someone who quit her job to build her dream? Our story, our failures, and our goals make a good story. It triggers the limbic system, the part of the brain involved in our emotional responses. Share your story as it is. It sells. And it inspires other fellow entrepreneurs. 2. Do what they can't Most product demo videos are formal, cold, and well... about the product. But it shouldn't! It should be used to get users excited and let them spread the word. You won't see many CEOs jumping on a fake podcast with Joe Rogan (https://twitter.com/marc_louvion/status/1604748220198191104?s=20&t=zX9ZUtLZvbsBApqHkm7VMg), or putting their phones in a wrap (https://twitter.com/PereAyats/status/1613506268487979008?s=20&t=zX9ZUtLZvbsBApqHkm7VMg). You can because you're a solopreneur. Be unique, have fun, and entertain us! 3. Leverage our community You might be alone, building an app in your free time, in your bedroom. But together, we are much bigger than any company. I haven't seen a more supportive community than solo/duo makers. Build in public on Twitter, create relationships, and support makers. The day you launch, you'll be surprised by the love you'll get from our community. That's it! I hope it inspires you to launch your product asap. Curious about your Product Hunt experience. PS: My startup "Visualize Habits" has been nominated for the Golden Kitty Award (product demo video category). I'd love your support! 🙏 https://www.producthunt.com/golden-kitty-awards/product-demo-video
