What’s one thing you wish someone told you before launching your first product?

I learned that a ‘post-and-pray’ approach doesn’t work. The real magic happens when you’ve already built momentum, have supporters ready to engage, and know exactly how to tell your product’s story in a way that resonates. Launch day is just the final act of a much longer play.

I just commented this in another post! Build a distribution network/ audience. Most crucial and wildly underrated.

I now see how starting marketing efforts alongside development builds better launch momentum. It allows for early awareness and excitement, setting the stage for a smoother, more successful product release.

A little budget is needed if you want to hit #1

I wish I had a clear strategy for gathering user feedback early on. It would’ve saved me so much time.

I wish someone said, Just launch, and you II figure it out as you go.

I’ve realized understanding the target audience is crucial without it, it’s easy to lose direction.
