What's one piece of advice you would give to a first time maker?
There's probably tons of advice I wish I had but if I could go back I would tell me that failure is necessarily a fail, we can learn from it and take those learnings to our next journey
Building audience first and product after? Or building product first and audience after?
This question stems from an inherent observation surrounding the launch and distribution of successful products on Product hunt. In most cases, even great products die down after the launch on PH as they suffer from the distribution problem. However, the ones that become successful are the ones that leverage their own audience for the successful distribution of their own products. How do fellow indiehackers and makers approach these two sides of a coin (a) Building an audience, and (b) Building a product? If you were to start from zero again, what would you build first? Audience or the Product? How would you approach both these phases while taking your product from launch (0 to 1) and successful distribution (1 to n)? How deeply are audience-building and product-building interlinked?
