Ask HN: Successful launch without networking?

3 points by jamesjguthrie ↗ HN
Is it possible?

I find the idea of going to these monthly meets and things like them a bit tedious. Is it still possible to have a successful (financially at least) launch without doing the networking?

Sure it is. You just need to realize that a launch isn't a singular, end-all event.

Unless you're building a marketplace, promote constantly. Don't worry about your launch day, have thousands of little launches.

When I launched Planscope, I had a strong announcement list in place. Had I not, it would have been weak. But I kept blogging and talking about the product, and a slow, linear (profitable) growth is the result.
