TinyLaunch Community

We’ve recently soft launched the TinyLaunch Discord Community. If you’re looking for support, motivation and accountability from fellow makers – or you’re simply looking to get a few more upvotes – we’d be happy to have you.

What’s new?

A while ago I asked some of you for testimonials that would then link to your products/socials. The testimonials went live this week and I think they turned out great!

Testimonials on the TinyLaunch launch page.

I’m also working on TinyLaunch Discounts, which will allow makers to offer TinyLaunch exclusive discounts to visitors. Hopefully more traffic for us, and more sales for you. AppSumo is my inspiration here. I’ll keep you updated on this.

Also, I only had to invalidate a single upvote this week. Seems the counter measures are working really well! 😎

And did I mention the TinyLaunch Community?

The following products got the most votes during the past launch week.

How I got Marc Lou to retweet me and grow my business

(If I can do it, so can you!)

Let’s break it down:

  • I documented my journey on 𝕏 for 78 days, every single day

  • I made my tweets concise and added beautiful screenshots (shoutout to shots.so)

  • I demonstrated some traction and revenue

  • I am a loyal customer that purchased both ShipFast and DataFast

  • My tweets frequently featured screenshots of my DataFast dashboard

  • He already knew my face from questions and suggestions I sent him about DataFast (by email)

  • I got lucky – but by showing up every day I increased my surface area for good luck

Here’s what it got me:

  • 👀 72,695 impressions

  • ⤵️ 1,582 profile visits

  • 🚶‍♂️ 234 followers

  • 📈 1,018 unique visitors

  • 💵 $37 in additional revenue

  • ♥️ 15 YouTube subscribers

Lessons learned:

  • Showing up every day is highly underrated

  • “Never meet your heroes” isn’t always true

  • Lists look better with three bullet points
