Finally, tomorrow is my launch day! SUPER NERVOURS…🥶 I've been preparing for this product for 3 months, working almost 16 hours a day. Almost lost my girlfriend over it😅 LiFE RPG, a productivity system to make your life more fun while being productive and motivated. Chapter 1: Idea 💡 The idea for this product came to me one sleepless night, with a thought: 💭 : "We often do things we don't like. So, why not make them fun?" I delved into all the information about gamifying work and life, and stumbled upon a book called "Actionable Gamification." Chapter 2: Product 📦 I spent 1.5 months developing the product and opened up a Beta version. Luckily, I received applications from 70 people willing to become beta testers. From them, I selected 20 professionals and 10 amateur. I received valuable feedback and spent another 0.5 months refining the product. Chapter 3: Marketing 📢 I spent a month preparing 2 video and landing page for the product and released it on YouTube. Through this video, I gathered 600+ waitlist sign-ups and 40+ pre-orders. Not sure if this counts as a successful marketing strategy. I'm curious how you guys promote your products? This is my first time launching a product on PH. No professional background and haven't purchased any "PH Launch checklist." All my plans were executed based on intuition. I'm not sure if there are any flaws in the process or if I've done anything wrong. I'd love to hear about your experiences and preparations for launching your own products.

Wow, congrats on almost making it to launch day! 😊 It's impressive that you've put in so much effort, especially with a 16-hour workday habit. I'm curious - what inspired you to create LiFE RPG, and how do you plan to measure its success? 🤔

@pedrofonseca17 Thanks lot for your kind words and interest in this project👊💪 The idea behind LiFE RPG is inspired by a book called "Actionable Gamification," which introduces a concept called the "Octalysis Framework." I've transformed this concept into a tool based on the 8 core drives mentioned within it📜

This is sick. Do you have a link to the YouTube video? Would love to watch. 600+ waitlist sign ups off one YouTube video and 40+ pre orders is nuts!
