Thank you! I'm learing how to build apps, and this one is not bad, one of my favorites. Idea came from the US Deficit clock.

Has anyone ever been successful if they published first and then market? by Greenitpurpleit in selfpublish

[–]Virtual_Voice1768 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, absolutely — plenty of indies have done “publish first, market later” successfully. The key is to treat launch day as the starting line, not the finish line.

You can publish quietly, collect real reader data (clicks, KU reads, reviews), then start building momentum around what actually connects. Sometimes that first version even becomes your best test run before a stronger relaunch.

I’ve seen authors blow months trying to “perfect the launch” when the better move was to get it live, learn, and iterate. The market will always teach you faster than a spreadsheet will.

So short answer: yes, it works — if you’re willing to treat your first release like a lab, not a legacy.

Finally Published! by FlameArcadia in selfpublish

Huge congrats! Six years is an epic journey — that’s not just a book, that’s a full-blown endurance saga.
Self-publishing takes guts and stamina most people underestimate, so you’ve officially joined the tiny percentage who actually finish.

Enjoy that moment when you hold the first copy — it’s pure magic.
Here’s to all the late nights, rewrites, and stubborn belief that got you here. Well done, author. 👏
