wow

Of course, this is an MVP, so it has to work and be decent, and it also depends on the market and product. But when you launch your product, you're not really making a first impression on the whole world - only a few people will actually try it out. Having people try out your beta version helps you build in the right direction. Otherwise, you risk spending years building a product that nobody is interested in.

It's not really marketing posts, it can be anything. Like saying we are attending this or this conference.

Did you find the fractional CMO's advice useful? I'm always worried that it's too high-level or not adapted to early-stage start-ups.

1) My target frequents Linkedin and Twitter so it's important to have a minimum presence there.

2) I don't think that everything on Linkedin is cringe, there is a lot of very interesting people out there. I find my own posts cringe like for example, I find celebrating my birthday narcissistic, but I love celebrating other people's birthdays and I don't think their posts are cring. It's just a weird cognitive bias I'm trying to fight.

3) Of course there are other ways of marketing my product, and most of it doesn't come from these networks. But building an audience is always useful.

4) I was only sharing good resolutions, i.e. actions to stop procrastinating on specific points. However, my goals and plan of attack for my company are very different from that.

virczl··on Ask HN: Technical and non-technical goals for 2024?
- Technical: Learn more about growth strategies and sales to make a living from my product - Non-technical: Take up sport to complete my first triathlon in August with my brother, who is a Top World Ironman.
