Relationships with makers

Build-in-public communities

Build-in-public communities are about showing progress over time. They are good for accountability and for meeting other founders, less so for reaching customers directly.

How to use build-in-public communities

  1. Post regular, small updates rather than one big announcement.
  2. Take an interest in what other people are building; it is a two-way community.
  3. Treat signups from here as a bonus. Other makers are often not your buyers.
