As a creator, how do you usually translate your work? Work well for youļ¼
Because Iāve found that neither ChatGPT nor DeepL can provide great translations, as good translation requires understanding the context, extracting key elements, and preserving the core essence of the original text.

I think there are two key points:
1. We often fall into perfectionism, wanting to add a ton of features and make sure each one is fully polished.
2. We easily fall in love with our own ideas, which can make us overlook other user or market needs.
Whatās one mistake you made early in your startup journey that others can learn from?

I think it depends on how easy the product is to use, whether there are alternatives, and how frequently I use it.
How do you decide whether to pay for a product šµ or stick with the free version? š

Haha, wishing you the best of luck with your product launch! My product is launching this Saturday, and what Iāve learned so far is to launch early and not worry about being embarrassed by your product.
How was your first PH launch? What did you learn?

I think it really depends on your product and, most importantly, where your target users are. For example, if it's an AI productivity tool, X (formerly Twitter) might be a good option. But for content-driven or highly community-oriented products, Reddit's high engagement could make it an excellent choice.
What are some ways I can spread the word about my product?

Itās best to keep users engaged in your productās Discord and make sure thereās someone dedicated to managing it, so users feel heard. Also, remember to host at least one small online event each week to listen to their feedback and keep the community active.
What steps have you taken to build a thriving community around your product?

You can find target users' contact information and email through LinkedIn or tools like Apollo, and then message them one-on-one. But remember, a good greeting is really important hah
Whatās the most creative way youāve marketed a SaaS product without paid ads?

Lemon8 might be a great platform too. We've been trying it out recently, and even if you're new and donāt have many followers, you can still get some decent exposure
Threads seems like a chill place too š

Founders can consider releasing a concept video that clearly explains what you're building. At the end of the video, include a hiring call. This way, the people who reach out to you will already be on board with your idea, making communication much faster and more efficient.
How do you build a strong founding team?

What are tips for conducting some user interviews before launching the product?
Developing a product takes time, so how can we conduct user interviews during the development process, or even before, to make sure weāre heading in the right direction?
