Hey, Product Hunters! I’m so excited to share a new version of Microns with you.  It's my second launch here, so don't be afraid to roast. Three years passed since I presented Microns. In the summer of 2021, I was in Odesa, Ukraine, swimming with my wife.  At that stage, Microns was just a concept with 15 startup listings and around 150 newsletter subscribers — nothing serious. I launched on the last day of the weekend, and it blew my mind. So many founders liked the project, and we became the #3 Product of the Day. I remember that day. I was on the bus driving home and replying to every comment on PH. It was a positive sign for me to continue working on the project. Since then, many things have changed, and Microns has gained much improvement and traction. We have sold over 70 startups worth $300k+. Based on customer feedback, I’ve added Profiles, Metrics, Chat, Analytics, and other features you asked for. Microns is fully bootstrapped, so monetization was crucial to keeping the marketplace working. For this reason, I created a Premium membership and Transfer service, and people started paying. It was that magical moment. You can sell any of your online projects for free. The main requirements are as follows: your project has revenue and is bootstrapped. To buy a startup, you must have a Premium membership. If you need help with your transaction and want to feel safe, request our Transfer service. I'll be here all day, so I'm happy to answer all your questions.  Do you have any suggestions regarding the platform or monetization? I would love your feedback. Thank you.

@deshraj_singh Thank you, Deshraj. My customers are my investors so it's crucial to listen to them. This way, I can build a better place for all founders around the world.

@sweatc how do you get those startups on your platform?
Ilya Novohatskyi
@sasha_buratynskyi Great question, Oleksandr! At the start, it was cold outreach (social and email). Then, when the platform started getting traction, I used more scalable methods like social media, SEO, and sponsorships. The other very popular channel is word of mouth (many founders who sold their projects share Microns with their friends).

Great product! I really like that they allow and focus on publishing small projects, which for a long time seemed like an empty niche. I have actually published 2 projects on Microns and sold one last year. Good luck!

@d3liaz Yeah, that's our primary focus. I'm glad that you sold one project with Microns. Thank you, Denis!
