Intro
Newbee here, lovely to meet you all!
What are you working on these days?
Several products.
1. GitCred
2. CompareCars
3. FarmX
4. BankID
What can the WIP community help you with right now?
I am not great at marketing. I look to learn, ask for help, and maybe buy services regarding copywriting, ads spending, branding, etc.
Initially, I look to emulate other founders.
What can you help others with?
I'm a fully-fledged software guru. I've hired more than 200 in my career, reviewed over 1000 CVs, and led teams larger than 40 people, where I had 8-10 tech leads reporting to me.
I've also spent north of 20 million USD on cloud computing. There aren't many questions I can't answer with regards to scaling your SaaS.
Something else you want to share?
I'm releasing my first product in two weeks. I would love if anyone could share mistakes I should avoid.

@siavoshzarrasvand Welcome, I'm not great at marketing either - I think the best way to start out is just by posting the product in facebook groups/subreddits/etc where there might be interest and not spending a dime on ads. From there it might make sense to buy google search/fb ads but it's still a dark art to me :) Honestly, the only thing that has worked for me is getting people to sign up via normal posts on social media sites (without paying) like I mentioned.
@ben Someone in another post wrote to not overthink it, just get it out there and keep talking about it on relevant forums, see what works and what doesn't.
Someone else said "At first, I give you 5 seconds of my attention, if that hooks me, I give you 30, if that hooks me, I give you 3 minutes... etc"
Both sound fair :)
