Where can you advertise your product?

Question

Marketing

Developed an application in PHP/MySQL - "Todo List". Application for creating tasks\goals. You can select the date by which the task must be completed, you can edit it, cancel/delete it, if completed, it is ticked and vice versa. There is a personal account for each user with his data. There are a few more features that I plan to implement, so the application is in active development.
I uploaded it to the hosting, on which forums\siteach can I present it/tell it?

Answer 1

And why is this little girl better than the banal google keep? I have three times more functionality in my phone, beautiful animations and goodies than in your project.
Just making a product and just advertising it is not enough. It is necessary to design the product correctly and show how cool and youthful it is, how much cooler it is than other tudushkas - but judging by the description, this is not the case, and it means there is no point in advertising either.

Answer 2

1) Congratulations on the release of your project.
2) Congratulations that you are faced with a situation that nobody needs your product.
3) Congratulations that you began to ask yourself the question, but how!
___
Practice shows that there are three ways to promote your product:
1) For money - this is the most effective and reliable option. The problem is that you need to have money. And preferably more than your competitors have.
2) Unique functionality - your solution can go to people if you provide functionality that people urgently need, but for some reason competitors don't have it. And people all sit without it, cannot find it and suffer.
3) The stars will converge and for some reason your project will go to the top of the search results above all competitors, or some major player will start using it, which will automatically pull the number of users along with it. This is actually a lottery, but from time to time it works for someone. For example, in 2012 I made a website that, 3 months after the start, went to the top of search results, although it was objectively worse than its competitors (well, so lucky).
___
All three points above should make you think that if you do not have money, you should try to do projects that meet point number 2 (point 3 is purely luck and you do not need to rely on it). And since all the basic needs are covered by big players and with big money, who, in the event of "your success", will cut down similar functionality in pursuit, small niches look the most promising, where there is no strong competition, but there is some money that you can collect if successful.

Answer 3

You show your code and / or at least functionality.
99.9% that your code is shit, the project is shit and no one needs it for free.
Because if you dig around on the net, you can find a lot of this. Free and much better.
And yes. I'll tell you from my experience.
Developing your own product/project in 2019 is a very bad idea .
I have a classifieds website that is written in my own custom object framework, has a ton of code in the guts, and 100,500 man-hours spent. It hangs like a stone around my neck - it's a pity to kill, I swell money in direct, sometimes I add something. Zero exhaust(100 rubles per month against 700 rubles for VPS rent and several thousand per month for advertising). It would be better if the time spent would be spent on women and drinking. Seriously.
You will not earn on your projects now. You simply cannot compete with legal entities that have developers and investments. Any individuals who have something from their projects/websites are either dinosaurs that have been sitting in their niche for 10-20 years (an example of such a dinosaur is guns.ru), or just lucky.

Answer 4

If you think that your product has the right to exist,
publish an article on vc.ru
if they tell you there that your project is shit
, try to publish on
ProductHunt

Answer 5

Bitrix24 offers more than 120 features in a free version with tudu, events, chat for employees and on the website with clients, and so on... And this is one of hundreds of examples.
But on the case .... It's not enough to write a couple of scripts. We need a development plan, a development team, product and user support, and marketing.

Answer 6

Need 1) SEO - site optimization for search. So that anyone looking for a solution to a similar problem got to the site.
2) Advertising, google, yandex - addwords, linkedin (fb, vk - target groups, you need to search ..).
Contacting bloggers, editors, offering a product, advertising on forums is probably of little use .. but it's worth trying everything if the product is not promoted.
You can ask people on Rsdn (in the shareware section) - whipping plus tips...
Product promotion is harder than writing. This is a long laborious work, which will take more than one year. There are many strategies, you need to choose just one.
Correctly evaluate competitors and the degree of usefulness of the product.
You can not beat off the efforts and advertising budget.

Answer 7

In addition to what has already been written, I can recommend testing the product in small markets first.
Join marketplaces like getapp and Otzyvmarketing .
When you stabilize the service, you can try to go to Product Hunt, but read the guides.
