What does Cluely do?
If you have an X account, there are high chances that you have seen Roy Lee and Cluely on your timeline.
You know all the cool videos, the lore, the love, the hate, and all the memes.
But if I asked you what Cluely does, 97% of you probably won't know what to say. (selling courses is not the right answer)
The point here is that even though Cluely is a great product, their incredible distribution engine made them skyrocket through the sea of YC startups — both accepted and rejected ones.
The key to remember here is that while you sprint to ship your project during the hackathon, building distribution along with it could be your edge.
Tip of the Day
Make your project's X account and start posting.
Get your profile and your project's profile going today and start documenting your work. You don't need to be Roy Lee or have fancy cameras around you, but you should have the basics covered:
• Make a plan and decide topics that your project's X account will cover
• Document progress, don't create content
• Reply to people and projects relevant to your niche, and provide value to their posts
• Introduce your project and vision clearly (and repeatedly)
• Make memes!
• Have some design assets and tweets ready to go
There is incredible value in growing distribution while you build your project. Just start today!
