Sound familiar?
Posting links, launching on Product Hunt, DMing strangers, and getting crickets. Nobody knows who you are yet.
X, LinkedIn, Reddit, newsletters, search, ads... You try everything, stick with nothing.
You're a solo founder. You're already building, supporting users, handling everything. Where's the time?
You don't need a grand strategy. You need the right next step. Week1 moves you through four stages as you get traction.
Show up where your audience already is. Don't pitch yet, just be visible.
Reply, comment, DM. Build real relationships with a handful of real people.
Turn scattered interest into an audience you own: a list, a community, somewhere people opt in to hear from you.
Your product is catching on. Week1 keeps the momentum going to your first 500 users.
Week1 knows which stage you're in and gives you the actions that move you to the next one.
This is what makes Week1 different. Every week you tell it what happened, and it builds the next plan around what actually worked for you, and drops what didn't.
On your planning day, a short set of specific actions lands, sized to your time: 1 to 3 hours, 3 to 6 focused actions.
Work through it step by step, with real examples. Tick actions off as you go.
On your check-in day, a 2-minute reflection: what you did, and what happened.
Week1 builds on what worked and drops what didn't. Next week's plan is better than this one.
The more you use it, the more it learns about what actually moves the needle for your product.
Marketing like this is a slow burn, not a growth hack. If you're starting from scratch, here's the honest arc. If you already have some traction, you'll move through it faster.
You're showing up, being helpful, starting conversations. Building the foundation.
People remember your name. You get DMs, follow-backs, "hey I've seen you around."
Conversations become "what are you building?" moments. People check out your product because they trust you.
Your network grows. Users refer others. The same weekly effort produces bigger results.
Your weekly plan, the 2-minute check-in, and a dashboard that tracks the outcomes that matter: conversations, responses and users, not vanity metrics.
Your plan for the week: a short set of specific actions, sized to your time.
The 2-minute check-in. Tell Week1 what happened, and next week's plan gets sharper.
Your dashboard: this week's progress and the outcomes that actually matter.
Week1 is for solo software founders getting from 0 to 500 users. That first stretch, earning enough real traction to learn what works, gather feedback and improve, is the hardest part, and it's exactly what Week1 is built for.

Building software has never been easier. Getting anyone to notice it is the hard part now. As a solo founder I could ship features all day, but marketing meant staring at a blank page, trying ten things, and sticking with none of them.
So I built the tool I needed: a short, specific plan every week, sized to the time I actually have. I use Week1 to market Week1. If you can build but can't get users, I made this for you.
