Side-project launch preparation: What did I achieve in two days? [Day 2/7] 🛫

Short intro

This is the second part of my full week researching how to launch a product:

iplan.to, a simple habit tracker, that you can use for free!

Disclaimer: This is just some kind of journal, don't expect a tutorial.

Some numbers

I'm finishing the second day, and I have a few results:

Time spent:
⌚ 9 hours spent on marketing so far
⌚ 72 hours took developing the app

Results by community
✅ 1 post and 7 interactions on DEV
✅ 6 posts and 4 interactions on Makerlog
✅ 3 posts and 2 new followers on Twitter
✅ 2 entries waiting for approval on Indie Makers
✅ 5 posts and on Reddit 52 interactions

Total results
📈 155 new users in 2 days
🤝 3 people sharing feedback and interested in collaborating in a future

Some reflections

Still lot of things to learn and work to do. It's taking more time than expecting, but I would say it's working (just need to be patient and consistent...)

Reddit seems to be the winner for now, followed by DEV. It's not enough info to make conclusions tho, just initial impressions.

Next in the list

• Quora
• Linkedin (I forgot about this one yesterday)
• Write an article and see where to submit it
