I'm building in public, what am I doing wrong?

We’re working on building a user base for Unimind. I’d love to have your thoughts.

What’s the good, the bad, and the ugly?

Here’s what I did.

• I created social media accounts (duh),

• I joined dev. to, peerlist, and, of course, Indie hackers,

• I Joined Subrredits such as Productivity, remote work, students, and even antiwork(You got to check the last one xd) where I comment 3 to 5 posts per day(I try).

• I joined discord servers such as productivity where I interact with other users and recommend the tool when suitable (+ Made connections with brilliant people).

• I joined Quora where I try to contribute to relevant spaces—not going well though. The lack of a chronological feed means I’m always answering questions that are 5 years old:)

• I wrote an article about the hard lessons I learned as a student. I shared it on social media, the website, and Medium.

• I shared the article on Linkedin and invited connections to like the page.

• I reached out to a few micro-influencers on Instagram. No spray and pray messages, each text was tailored to the person’s interests.

• I followed some high-end twitter accounts such as James Clear, Tim Ferriss, and Adam Grant. I spontaneously liked a few comments and answered comments from their communities.

• Added Canny.io and got some user feedback.

• Joined a few slack communities. Promoted the tool where allowed and got some fans!

• I made a reel that I shared on Instagram and Facebook. The one on Facebook got some traction after 3 days or so(weird).

• I reshared the reel on Pinterest. Got some views, nothing more.

There you have it, the compilation of my ‘marketing’ efforts so far.

Having said that, what would you do differently? I care to know!
