Nobody tells you that launching is the easy part — distribution is where you work the hardest
Last month I shipped a side project. I thought building it was the hard part. It wasn't even close. Day 1 after launch I opened Product Hunt. Then BetaList. Then 8 more directories. Every one wanted the same information in a slightly different format. Different character limits. Different screenshot sizes. One had a "tell us your story" field that I rewrote four times before giving up and writing something bad on purpose. By day 3 I had 40 tabs open and 12 new visitors. Then Reddit. First post got removed. Rewrote it, posted in the wrong subreddit. Found out r/SaaS has specific days for project sharing - after getting ignored twice. Nobody writes this down anywhere. Day 5. Fifty visitors total. One was probably my mom. What actually surprised me: there are people on Reddit posting "looking for a tool that does X" every single day. Real intent, public posts, easy to find if you're watching. I missed all of them because I wasn't watching anything. Also - most directories have a specific day or format that gets you actual visibility. Submit outside that window and your listing sits on page 4 forever. I eventually built a small system to handle this stuff. Tracks directories, catches Reddit posts, gives me a day-by-day plan for the first 30 days. Nothing fancy. Just the thing I needed on day 1 and didn't have.
