      @pokakrisztian Most people focus on smart work, but I have seen that those who work hard with proper vision and consistency win the race.

    Such an awesome interview from Alexander sharing a lot of insights about building the Unicorn Platform. PH is still under rated. Loved to see how Alexander leveraged PH launches and grew to $2K MRR. Pure hard work!!

    1. 1

      Not sure PH will work the same efficiently today. You will have a lot of competitors nowadays.

        But it still gives some traffic if executed well. May not be in Top#10 but some traffic > zero traffic.

            Thankyou Alexander!!

    The fact that I like about UnicornPlatform as a user, I tried to adjust font size and I couldn't do it so I asked them for help and got an message from Alex saying that I can't adjust font size and that the focus is on faster launch and saving my time, and I realised I am focusing on things that don't really matter at that point. Thanks Alex and the Unicorn team.

      Thanks Vlad. That was the idea: we limit you and it is actually good thing for you.

    Hard work pays off keep it up!

      So true. Hardword + momentum.

    I wonder how he differentiated against other drag-and-drop website builders.

    Thanks @Wyeem for sharing!

    I love the idea of memes. No doubt it works well because most companies do not give value to having fun on their company pages; they just focus on selling, selling, and selling.

    We implemented this idea in the past for a short period of time, but now we will strongly focus on this factor to engage with our members.

    I feel people that succeed master 100% of their field. As it says the founder was already building and shelling websites because create this product. So he knew everything about it.

      well, not everything but a lot! i still can not call myself an 'expert'.

    Was not expecting Facebook group still being very active in terms of getting your first customers

    1. 1

      Me too! I'm not an active FB user. I rarely open it. But ironically FB played a massive role in the journey.

      1. 1

        Was it like putting out your post on facebook group randomly or was it some way that you did this which resulted in such a result?

        Also in the post you talked about Nitesh's facebook group, would you mind sharing that?

    PH is still under rated

    1. 1

      I just say PH is the game-changer!

    Identify a Niche Market: Alexander identified a niche market of people who wanted to create beautiful websites but lacked coding skills. He created a platform that made it easy for them to design and develop websites without any technical knowledge.https://crescitaly.com/
