Preface:
I started this software about 6 months ago. I posted my progress on a private discord group dedicated to sales/marketing.
After careful consideration, I decided to document my continued journey in public to inspire others and receive feedback.

Hello everyone!

This thread is dedicated to my journey as I go through marketing a software built from scratch.
I wrote this as I saw many posters are still in the "idea" phase while few actual executions.

What is my software?
My software was built out of an idea of connecting two major platforms, Discord & Telegram.
I saw few mention that they wish to communicate with each other.
Unfortunately, those that were on either platform prefer to stay on there.
I saw a potential problem to solve.
For those interested in trying out the software:
ChatCreed - Communities United

Execution
After reviewing the setup, I built the whole infrastructure and hosted it online.
This process took several months as I am a full time Software Engineer.
I dedicated the weekends and evenings building, testing, and deploying.
For those curious, I am a Docker fanatic and love containerizing.
As of January 2023, I launched the software online.

Current Step
Deploying software is one thing, marketing is another.
I currently have a marketing plan laid out in Trello.
Google Ads are running, and cold dms are documented on a spreadsheet.
I am constantly deploying A/B testing and refining the DMs.

I appreciate any feedback or questions below.
I will respond.

Any major updates, I will edit this main post.
Other updates will be in its own posts below.
