@CodeEdison Depends on the product you are selling. B2B is properly X, LinkedIn & Facebook. B2C is Facebook, instagram and Reddit. TikTok might be best for physical products because of the TikTok shop integration

@rcmisk Even simple or mediocre products can go a long way with the right marketing.

not every founder needs to go viral. but every founder needs strangers to find them. if nobody knows you exist, it doesn't matter how good the product is. that's the whole game.

@lamacodes I also think that they integrate with a lot of systems, but these days it is for sure expected and a lot easier to implement.

@YashHustle_22 I think it easier to get users, either by using organic posts or paid ads, but a paid user has to be convinced that the value you provide is worth more or equal to what they pay. This is for sure difficult

@aryanlabde I agree. Since building the product now has become the easier part a lot of people gets stuck afterwards.

Most vibe coders have a GREAT product but a terrible distribution strategy.

@rcmisk Yeah it Can be tough. But in reality the launch should also take 3 months. It should be 3 months of consistent posting, chatting, writing, learning and adapting.

the pattern every time: build for 3 months launch to silence post once on Reddit, get ignored blame the algorithm start something new rinse. repeat. stay broke.

@delveroin They are present and understand that it takes time and consistency. They maybe have to post for 0 people the first month and or invest some money into paid ads initially.

Everyone is building… But only a few are actually getting users. So what sets them apart?

@sflorimm A 9-5 can also be a motivation for working on your 5-9, in that sense that your time is more limited and you just can’t wait to work on your own stuff. That is at least an angle I have been implementing

Use your 9-5 to fund your 5-9 to get out of your 9-5. Not ready read that again.

making money on X sounds easy. open X. reply to strangers for 2 hours. write 3 posts. close X. i did this 100+ days straight. now it’s made me $3.5k+. it’s mostly boring, but pays off.

@kzitouni1 1 year ago I would heavily disagree, but now I would say that it is more important to build an audience than the product it self. It is a balance, but SoMe is definitely very underrated

@Sherifdeenolat2 Slow or zero traction is a motivation killer, since you have build something you genuinely is proud of. You just have to stick to it, and eventually people will see it if you post enough

Founders Be real: what’s draining your energy the most right now 🥲? 👉 fixing bugs after launch 👉 building with no feedback 👉 slow or zero traction 👉 doing everything alone

In 2020, AI helped people write. In 2023, AI helped people code. In 2026, AI helps solo founders run systems. What do you think 2028 looks like?

I know the feeling. I have been spiraling into the same trap. Everything today moves so fast, and you see people ship awesome things all the time and you get the feeling of falling behind. The reality is that most people only ship 1-2 apps, but those 40 individuals on your timeline just gets merged into one in your mind. Also marketing can be very difficult because you can be met with rejection and it is “easier” to just keep building. I know I have to work on those things.

Talked to a vibe coder guy on Reddit today about his app. He launched his 9th app this year, but no customers. He says he enjoys building the apps so much because he is using AI and can build so much faster. But when he needs to get users, feel discouraged and does the next best thing, starts another app only to end up in the same place. What should he do ? Keep building until he hits a viral app that markets itself? or just continue with one app for 12 months and spend 9hrs a day marketing it

@rcmisk I am definitely a D, and I keep telling myself that I will get to it once a certain feature has been implemented. Most people start to advertise and get user as early as the version 0.1. I usually still have not shipped until after version 3.0

what's your current split? A) 80% building, 20% distribution B) 50/50 C) more distribution than building D) I don't have a distribution strategy and I'm lying to myself about it
