2020 was a phenomenal year for me for many reasons, but the special one is getting my first startup gig through Twitter DMs πŸ’―

While I'm fulfilling the goal of working at a startup, I'm currently looking for a transition to a new one πŸ’ͺ🏽

TL;DR: I'm available in the market πŸ‘‡πŸ½
1/ Why hire me?

I build online communities by building products people want! So far shipped 12 projects using no-code tools which served hundreds of thousands of people in the community!

Currently I'm working full-time at Draftbit while helping build @shoutoutso_ on the side πŸš€
See for yourself:

I took Shoutout as an idea from zero to one, launched a no-code MVP, found my co-founder on Twitter, onboarded incredible startup leaders and creators as users, and now have a solid MRR πŸ‘‡

I have been doing this in public since day 1: wall.shoutout.so/shoutoutbip

1/ Soft launch on Twitter:

Twitter is not just a social media platform. It is an amazing distribution system if you use it the right way πŸ’―

One of the most important things you need to do before launching on Twitter is to create a lot of hype around your product.
2/ Here are some checklist things you can do. These come with examples I have used for Shoutout:

*Give a sneak peek of what you about to launch:

Not knowingly or knowingly I have shipped all my products taking the #buildinpublic route πŸš€

Here are some lessons I learned from my experience:

A thread 🧡
1/ Be transparent:

When you allow yourself to be open and transparent, the community sort of shows interest in the work you do. Also, they contribute things you never expect.
2/ Don't be invisible:

There is a high difference between practicing what you are good at in closed indoors vs trying openly in public. You learn a lot when you put your work outside.

1/ Why you should follow @jmspool

Jared is one of the most recognized, celebrated people working in UX design. If you want to be customer-centric, up-to-date with the latest trends, and better prepared to ship products your customers will love, he is the guy to look for advice.
2/ Why you should follow @eugenewei

Eugene worked as a head of product @hulu, @Flipboard and most recently was head of video at @oculus. I really like his take on why it’s important for product managers to read fiction and how great leaders create leverage through compression.
