Hey guys. I've been marketing a product of mine called One Profile as an indie maker/solo-dev/solo-entrepreneur/first-time founder for over 6 months now and have since picked up a number of practical and useful tips on product-launching.

Along my journey, I managed to get to #1 product of the day on Product Hunt. When I first started, I was kinda clueless about where to start and how to get my product noticed. So, here's a free practical guide for anyone who needs some help in getting their product noticed in this hella competitive space of product making.

All the best!

Gladly! You can try carrd.co, too. It's a pretty nice alternative!

But it's expandable :)

Shoot. Thanks a million for the heads up!

Thanks so much for the encouragement and support - it means a lot to me!

Thanks for wish - appreciate it!

Hey there, I'm really sorry that you found this behavior to be wrong and I agree to a certain extent that what I did was wrong, too. However, the submissions I made were not of bad faith.

When I first started, I used a Japanese-inspired domain name but none of my western users can relate to it, so I changed it. At that time, the product was different than it is now, it was more of a startup community group to showcase their startups on a profile page rather than a landing page builder. That didn't work out. However, some users liked the profile pages I created for them on that website so I changed the domain name to oneprofile.info, a personal page builder (which is active and is used by over 2000 people).

After I launched on Product Hunt, some users requested profile pages for their side-projects and teams. So, I bought the oneprofile.team domain and used it for a while. Then, I realized restricting it to team doesn't make sense and thought of opting for a domain name that is much general. Finally, I ended up with the oneprofile.page domain name which is what it is today.

It was a long and arduous 9 months journey for me, a solo dev/entrepreneur. I don't have a strong voice on the internet so I had to do something like this where I keep posting stuff to get the word out and hope I get lucky and noticed. I really didn't mean to offend you or the community.

You're actually right, appleflaxen. I don't have any other comments on other threads and that was really my mistake. I should've been more contributing if I were to expect the same from others. I'll try to be more active! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Thank you, d0100 :)

Thank you :)

Hey there, thanks for asking! Unfortunately not. There's no such integration. Instapage costs $149-$199 monthly so naturally, they have many more resources and features that they can provide. One Profile tries to provide a nice, simple yet practical landing pages that are affordable for the masses.

There's a feature called Profile Video where you can add a video from YouTube as your profile video instead of photo. Have a look at this demo page and see whether it fits your needs:

Hope it helps!

Right! I'm not an expert in colors so your feedback is really valuable to me. So, thank you. I just had it in random colors, lol. Figured it needed some fixing. Cheers!

Hey there again. I actually have another similar product for a one-pager here, https://oneprofile.info

Hope it helps!

It definitely is! But I hope you'll give my product a try, too :)

Thank you very much. Same goes for you, thank you for sharing your arguments and reasons, I learned a lot from reading others' comments. I can't promise immediate implementation because it'll take some time to do it but thank you for raising this up! I think I'll eventually do it sometime soon.

It's that right!? Hmm, it must be the port view. It may be an error on my end—will check it out. Thanks for the heads up!

Right, please bear with me since I'm pretty new to setting up pricing plans. I've been learning through observations but am happy to listen to feedback. I'll try to clarify here:

It's free to get started and use the product in private for however long you want, only pay when you want to publish the pages live.

The pricing plans are relative to the monthly plans. For example, the Plus monthly plan costs $8 per month or $96 per year. Plus yearly plan is 50% off, so it costs $4 per month or $48 per year. $48 per year is equivalent to 6 months of what you will pay for if you opted for the Plus monthly plan hence it is 6 months free. The same logic applies to Beta Special 75% off.

Hope that clarifies! I figured I need to work on the wordings better—thanks for sharing your thoughts, really appreciate it.

Thank you so much for your encouragement, understanding, and support, demarq! I feel a bit better now :)

Ah, I see. You're right. Thank you so much for the detailed feedback and insights. I'll see what I can do to improve! Hope you gave it a try!

I'm really truly sorry about this. But the previous submission was actually a different product but with the same name. However, I understand your point.

But honestly, there aren't that many free and effective avenues for a non-influential internet figure like myself to get exposure for a product I create. Product Hunt and Hacker News are the most helpful sites.

I tried to get the word out at many other places but many times, it just went unheard of. I can't afford those expensive paid launching sites and adverts. So, these free platforms are my only hope and I had to post a few more times than normal. This post that got this many upvotes and feedback, I never really thought it would turn out this way. I got really really lucky with this 20th post.

I'm really sorry for the spam but I'm just trying hard to make my voice heard, too. I hope I'm still within the rules of this community.

Thanks so much for the kind words, suggestions, and feedback!

Yes, I'm Yusuf here, haha.

1. I believe the pricing is very flexible and competitive when compared to other usual suspects. Let's take Carrd.co as an example. Carrd doesn't offer monthly plans and a plan which offers custom domain costs $19 per year. What if you only need to use a page for 1 month? oneprofile.page with custom domain feature is available for $4 per month on the basic plan. Our yearly plans are 50% off and are far affordable compared to Carrd's. Carrd is great as it allows deeper customizability with CSS and JS. oneprofile.page is perfect for simple and quick use-cases.

2. Yes, you're right. I've been reading a couple of comments about it, too. I'll see what I can do about it!

3. Yes, I aware of it, too. I'm working hard to make it faster and will work on it gradually.

4. Is privacy your concern? Because the in-app analytics are not invasive at all. It simply counts visits and it doesn't detect any more than that e.g. gender, country, age etc. If you want deeper page insights with privacy friendly analytics, you can connect to Fathom or Plausible analytics.

Thank you so much for the nice comment on dark mode! Worked pretty hard to get it right. Still need some polishing though!

Hope you love the experience so far! And please share any other feedback that you have, I'm eager to listen and improve.

Thank you so much! Glad you love it!

I see. Thank you so much for your reasoning. I honestly never thought signing up was such a blocker. Personally, I sign up with google or use LastPass, and if I don't like it, I'll just delete the account after trying. But you're right, at least a quick demo of how it works will be pretty helpful. I'll see what I can do. Thanks again!

That's great to hear, and your site looks dope.

Anyway, I hope my product https://oneprofile.page gives people more choices to choose from.

Cheers for trying it out! And thank you very much for the feedback and suggestions.

At the end of the onboarding page, there should be a button "Join Beta Program" which you can click. There's also a similar button on the navigation bar. When you clicked on the button, you'll be brought to a page where you can enroll yourself in the beta program. Once you completed a simple feedback form, the special pricing of 75% discount will be made available to you at that instant.

When you signed up for an account, you'll be able to create up to 100 pages/sites depending on your plan.

Our pricing model is very similar to carrd.co so, it should help.

Please do give us a try again :) Feel free to reach out again, I'll be happy to answer any questions.

Ah, it might take a while to show up since there's a pretty picture of a 3-d lady mopping the signup page. Maybe give it some time to load. Thanks!

Hi there, thanks for checking my tool out and thanks for the kind words!

You're right, I should've done a video of the actual building. Will try to prep a quick one soon. In the meantime, here are some demo pages which might help you out to imagine how yours will look like:

1. A product page demo: https://cssscan.oneprofile.page/

2. An about page demo: https://oneprofile.giftworks.io/

3. A community page demo: https://parkrun.oneprofile.page/

My previous product was a personal page builder and we got to no.1 on Product Hunt the other day (https://www.producthunt.com/posts/one-profile). This new product, a landing page builder, is a continuation of the many requests we got to build one.

Hope it helps!

Thanks! Yes definitely, there are 3 different demos on the home page but I'll just leave you some links here so it'll be easier:

Thank you! And I'm really sorry about the confusion.

Since I'm giving a 75% discount to beta users, the basic plan would've not cost anything. So, I made it not applicable to choose it if you enrolled in the beta program.

On a normal yearly plan, the basic plan costs $2 per month. If you enrolled in the Beta Program, the plus plan costs the same as the normal yearly basic plan at $2 per month.

Hope it clarifies :)
