Week1 gives solo founders a clear, focused marketing plan each week — just 1-3 actions, sized to fit your schedule. No more guessing, no more overwhelm.
Sound familiar? You're not alone.
Posting links, launching on Product Hunt, DMing strangers — and getting crickets. Nobody knows who you are yet.
X, LinkedIn, Reddit, newsletters, SEO, ads... You try everything, stick with nothing.
You're a solo founder. You're already building, supporting users, handling everything. Where's the time?
The data is clear: people buy from people they trust
Strangers ignore strangers. Your cold pitch lands in an inbox full of other cold pitches. Without trust, you're just noise.
When someone already knows you're helpful, your product mention isn't a pitch — it's a recommendation from a trusted source.
The math is simple: 20 warm conversations beat 500 cold DMs. Week1 helps you build those relationships systematically.
They build relationships before they need them. Week1 shows you exactly how.
Every week, get 1-3 specific actions tailored to your product and stage. No more decision paralysis.
Choose 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes per week. Week1 sizes your actions to match your available time.
Not followers or likes. Conversations started. Relationships built. Users gained. Real outcomes.
Your weekly plan evolves based on what's working. Double down on what converts, skip what doesn't.
This is a slow burn, not a growth hack. Here's the honest timeline.
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.
This isn't slow — it's sustainable. Founders who try to shortcut this with cold outreach often spend the same 8 weeks getting zero results and burning out.
