Introducing “Marketing for Founders”: A Comprehensive Resource Repository to Propel Your Side Projects
In the dynamic world of entrepreneurship, many founders begin their journey with innovative side projects. Whether driven by passion, curiosity, or the desire to transition out of a traditional 9-to-5 job, these projects often face one common challenge: effective marketing and promotion.
Understanding the Marketing Landscape for Side Projects
Over the years, numerous entrepreneurs have launched side ventures—like Tally, Posthog, and Simple Analytics—and have discovered that they typically start with grassroots marketing strategies. These often include launching without a hefty budget, leveraging organic growth through SEO, cold outreach, and community engagement. As the project gains momentum, more scalable channels such as advertising, influencer partnerships, and referral programs come into play.
The Challenge of Actionable Marketing Advice
