You, as a founder and entrepreneur; Can you give me advice on things I should definitely care about?

@ali_shaheen Hello Ali, thank you for sharing your experiences with us. You reminded me of a word that I love very much; I think this word is very magical "Sustainability". and it is important to do the things you mentioned in order to fulfill the conditions of this word.

@slimmy82 Hello, thank you for sharing your experiences. “Becoming a CEO” yes, this is truly original advice. Because I am starting to understand the differences better every day. Market research and understanding whether the product/service is a real need is also a really important issue. Thanks again for your great advice.

@slimmy82 fantastic advice indeed, thanks for sharing

@qudsia_ali Hi Kudsia, you actually summarized the whole story perfectly. You have beautifully described many things that need to be said and many situations that are likely to be experienced. Thank you for your meaningful comment.

@liu_tim People take their precious time to comment and give advice (just like you do). In my opinion, not reacting or leaving it unanswered would be very disrespectful. Each one is valuable and deserves respect. People are communicating with you and it doesn't make sense to me to just stand there and stare and not react at all. When I say like a bot; Maybe you got this idea from the typos in the answers? Anyway, my English is not very good, so some sentences may not be correct in terms of grammatical criteria. I'm sorry about that, Lui. Thanks for your comment.

@liu_tim Day 78 :) I try to follow the work done by the community regularly every day. I am a graphic designer and I am always in front of the computer due to my job. That's why I respond quickly.

@sanepara Look at the coincidence :)) we hired a new UI expert today. It's definitely an important issue. Thanks Ravikant

@vivek_equp The way to create a stable and efficient working order in projects and to produce is to value those who work on the project and appreciate the work they do. It is necessary to do this not as a task, but by establishing a strong bond with team members. Of course, it is important to strike a balance here. I read important advice about being a CEO in a different comment. Teams are like orchestras; If it is not managed correctly, the desired result cannot be achieved. Because there are many details that need to be managed, costs, marketing, plans for the future, managing all the needs of the project correctly can create a chance. Thanks for your sincere advice.

@markk0217 Hello Markk, thank you, I will be happy to inform you when LivelyPencil is completed. I took a look at your Collov.ai project and I liked it very much. The best advice I can give on this subject is about marketing advertising promotional activities. Target only female users in your advertising efforts. Houses are the sacred places of women. Simply explain what your app does and leave the rest to the women. You will realize that the efficiency you get from your advertising efforts will be at the maximum level. Women will share the work they create on Collov.ai on the social network, especially with their close circle, and make more people aware of your project.

@markk0217 Hey Markk, interesting product you are launching. Already following, Looking forward to your launch ( :

@markk0217 1- You are very right about user experience. We were rejected 3 times in Google Play Console :) We hired someone who specializes in UI. We'll try again after creating a new UI, it's an important issue and you're right. 2- We have a big list planned for innovations. We know that users tend to have fun and have a good time most of the time. Popular social networks manage user trends in a very impressive way. With their addictive features, they can keep many users using the application for hours. We have some advantages and disadvantages in this regard; Reading may not be fun for everyone, but we have some plans to make it fun. 3- We have a great feature planned for this; Users will be able to create their own community posts. We will activate the community posts feature where other authors will be accepted to post a book or content on any topic. This feature, which allows users to establish their own communities, seems to be in line with the advice you mentioned. It's nice to know we're on the right track. 4- Our plan is ready for users to earn money and share our income with our users. We have many money-making feature plans for authors to earn money, such as a subscription system, adding completed books/publications to the e-book section for sale, authors selling digital signatures, offering authors to create publications (creating content on behalf of people/institutions that have difficulty creating content). We care about writers and content creators earning income. We specifically want citizen journalism to be a prominent use of our platform and are working on plans to support them in this regard. 5- We experience the difficulties you mentioned in the most painful way. At certain times, we got stuck in bank loans and debt, lost money, reputation and went through all kinds of difficult experiences, but we accepted that this was the nature of entrepreneurship and continued to stand behind our idea. Thank you for your great advice and the opportunity to express ourselves. We hope this information will be an inspiration to others.

@thisismeihere That's absolutely true, I've been doing what you said for a while now. I opened accounts on many platforms and I meet the writers there and chat about LivelyPencil. I received positive feedback from many people. As you said, a brownie every day... :)

@shoaib_farhan_ali hi Shoaib, thanks for comment, I'll visit the link and check out what you've been up to. :)

@istiakahmad Hello, I took a look at your article and it has some impressive advice. I recommend it to everyone. Thanks for your comment.

@priyankamandal Nothing is achieved easily. We can observe that competition is very high and productivity is increasing. As someone who follows Product Hunt regularly, I see dozens of startups announced every day. I know that there is great effort and big dreams behind these projects. You are right, it is important to learn from mistakes, observe and listen to other ideas. Actually, there is something that crosses my mind regarding this matter; Examining the projects that announced their launch 2-3 years ago on Product Hunt and observing where they are. This can be very useful. Thanks for your comment.

@halk_susior Golden advice. Thank you. I think it's worth adding that sticking to this list requires strong mental health. Let's not forget that being healthy is the first rule of maintaining motivation. There will be many things you need to take care of and it is possible to wear out over time. Sometimes even if the reward comes, if we are not healthy enough to enjoy it; What we do has no meaning.

@sofiquldev Sharing knowledge adds value to knowledge. This is the purpose for which communities are established. Supporting each other. Thanks for your comment Sofiqul
