I sat my ass down and started writing. You should, too.

Hi Indie Hackers. My name is Malthe, and I'm the creator and only writer at Product Head.

First of all, I've only been a member of Indie Hackers for 4 days, but holy s... So many of you have already tought me so many things. I think I ended up reading posts and comments for 3-4 hours straight.


Anyways. So, what is Product Head?

Product Head is a bi-weekly short-form design and product content sent to your inbox on mondays between 08:00 and 09:00. Other people call it a newsletter.

I've long been looking for the right mix of:

  • Frequency
  • Content
  • Tips
  • Learning
  • Personality
  • Book recommendations
  • Short format
  • No spam

... And has not yet been in luck finding said mix in a newsletter; which is why I started writing and sharing. Also, because, you, and I, know so many things that other people don't. Do not take for granted the knowledge that you feel like no one finds helpful. Please. Write it down and share it with someone.

It's said that due to our human nature, we can become uncomfortable by sharing. Do not fall victim to this mind-trick. It's a false negative. It will instantly provide you with relief and sparring from peers.


Most recently I've sent a bunch of research questions out to some 50-readers: https://www.producthead.xyz/001-5-research-guide-for-product-people/ and could not feel more proud.


I just wanted to drop in and say: Thank you all for sharing so much, and if you want, take a look at https://www.producthead.xyz/ if you want no-spam bi-weekly product and design content.

Your Product Head,

    Nice, I subscribed and checked out a few of the recent posts. I like the content, especially the realistic nature of working within a company and the challenges that go with that.

    My 2¢ 'Product Head is a bi-weekly short-form design and product content sent to your inbox on mondays between 08:00 and 09:00. Other people call it a newsletter.'

    Don't try and get clever with your product description. Focus on the value.

    example

    "Product Head is design and product newsletter. We give you tips and shortcuts to save time, get more sales, and avoid painful discoveries that could be avoided"

    Something like that.

    Don't focus on yourself. Show value to users.
