Business Idea:
A dedicated platform for indie makers to launch, showcase, and receive ongoing feedback on their products, ensuring sustained visibility and community support beyond initial launch hype.
Problem:
Indie product creators often struggle to gain long-term visibility on mainstream platforms like Product Hunt, with new launches quickly fading and limited support for ongoing exposure.
Solution:
SoloPush offers a free, category-based launch platform where products remain visible indefinitely. Users can pay a small fee to skip waitlists, while votes influence rankings. Weekly top products earn badges, boosting credibility and social proof.
Target Audience:
Independent entrepreneurs, solo makers, and small startups launching new tools or products, especially those without large followings seeking sustained exposure and feedback.
Monetization:
Revenue comes from optional small payments to skip waitlists, premium badges or features, and potentially future value-added services or partnerships.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
Unlike traditional launch platforms that prioritize hype for a short window, SoloPush ensures continuous visibility, emphasizes community feedback, and rewards quality over initial buzz — all with zero launch fees.
Launch Strategy:
Start by building a simple, user-friendly submission system, promote via Reddit and Twitter, gather feedback from early users, and iterate rapidly. Focus on creating strong community engagement and showcasing top products to attract more indie makers.
