The Debate: Product vs Distribution

You have a great product, you shared it with your friends, and they love it. But how do you get it into the hands of more people?

  • Maybe word of mouth will help.
  • You start getting revenue from your initial users.
    • This validates your product-market fit and encourages further investment in distribution.
    • You hire a sales team to reach out to potential customers.
    • You invest in marketing campaigns to increase brand awareness.
    • You explore partnerships with other companies to expand your reach.
    • You gather feedback from early users to refine your product and messaging.
    • You analyze user data to identify trends and opportunities for improvement.
    • You can keep doing things endlessly to optimize your product and distribution strategy.
