Never in My Life Did I Think Marketing Would Be Harder Than Coding
Hello everyone, I am a 20-year-old studying economics. I'll cut to the chase. I have been really fascinated with building things, but due to my 0 technical background, I was never able to build anything. For the last 2 years, I started getting a grasp of what things are, understanding all sorts of technicalities, and building a few projects. Now I built a project myself, and after 2 months of 12 hours daily, I built a project that I think can actually be something.
a small summary-AuditChess is a chess analysis platform that goes beyond analyzing individual games. It analyzes your game history to identify recurring patterns in your play such as tactical weaknesses, opening problems, missed opportunities, blown wins, and endgame tendencies and turns those insights into a personalized report. It can also generate puzzles based on positions and mistakes from your own games, so you can actively work on the weaknesses it finds. their are a 100 more features on the website.
It took me some time to realise that building was not that tough of the part, but getting people to try it .i learned how to use typescript,java,python.sql,css while having a non technical background and never in my life did i think the difficult part would be marketing .I get 100–200 users daily, and 60% are unique, but the problem is I am not able to understand how can I market it. I try posting on Reddit or forums, people start thinking I am spamming, and they are already tired of a lot of people trying to use these platforms for marketing (I don't disagree with them, they are right, and I would have had a similar reaction to that).
- I am very paranoid and am not able to post anywhere. How can I actually market my product where people don't see me as a spammer?
- How can I get genuine feedback?
- How can I get rid of being very self-conscious and paranoid so I can actually post online?
- what are the different channels i can use people to use my web app other than
- how can i actually post about it without people thinking i am spamming everywhere.
- how to stop the overbuilding issue,one thing i faced that i tend to overbuild ,everytime i think "wait i can even uild this feature"and tend to forget i need to get people to try it.
I would really love it if people could help me get out of this mindset and figure out how to actually put myself and my product out there .
