Ask HN: Should I find a business co-founder or learn marketing myself?

- A podcast or blog or email list that talks about your product and your progress on it. ex: Startups for the Rest of Us and Drip app - a really good viral hook built into the product - Facebook ad strategy (probably not good for devops product) - a webinar strategy. (i.e. do a free monthly webinar on DevOps and have calls to action at the end)

Your key channel needs to be able to feed the funnel and end up with enough conversions to get you some compound growth going.

Whether you do it, or someone helps you, doesn't matter. You still need to find that key channel.

I would probably recommend trying a personal blog/podcast + occasional webinars. you might even find a cofounder once you get this going.

The other thing I recommend is what I call "The 2 person test". Find 2 people in your target market, show them the landing page. If at least 1 of them doesn't go "I need that!" then you probably need to work on product/market fit.

good luck!

Then, right off the bat, you have started blaming your co-founder for a failed product launch. This is no good.
