I built the product. Marketing it is kicking my ass.

Wait 5 sec.

I’ve spent the last few months building V8Q, a stock-research platform that scans beaten-down stocks for potential recovery setups and runs them through a five-factor scoring and risk framework. I launched it publicly on August 31. Since then, V8Q has identified 8 Verified Opportunities — 7 winners and 1 loser, with winning moves ranging roughly +7% to +40%. It’s still a very small sample, so I’m not pretending an 87.5% tracked win rate proves anything yet. Every callout since launch is public, including the loser, with the original research archived and timestamped. The average observation period so far is about 4 weeks, generally around 3–5 weeks. The actual product is built: automated Morning/Midday/Final scans, individual ticker research, scoring and qualification, historical archives, performance tracking, research reports, website, backend, etc. The part I underestimated was distribution. I’ve been posting the research on X, but with a tiny following most posts get almost no engagement. Reddit has done better, but I’m realizing I don’t have the time to become a full-time marketer. So now I’m debating whether to keep building it, find someone who actually enjoys distribution/growth, or sell the whole platform to someone better positioned to grow it. For anyone who has built a product first and figured out distribution afterward: what actually worked for you?   submitted by   /u/BraveSomewhere3777 [link]   [comments]
