Markit
⚠️Warning: This project is not open-source ready yet. Please don’t submit any pull requests until I finish the initial setup.⚠️
Building a software product but not sure how to sell?
Markit is an interactive roadmap for technical solopreneurs to validate ideas and build a marketing strategy from pre-sale to post-launch.
Open-source and 100% free.
Motivation
Being a solopreneur is hard. You have to do everything yourself: from building a product to marketing and selling it. You will be wearing multiple hats at the same time and it’s easy to get overwhelmed.
One day, I encountered this tweet from Dan Kulkov and I got inspired to build a tool around it. Markit is designed to be minimal and simple, so it’s not a replacement for a full-blown marketing course. (So if you want to sponsor by promoting your marketing course or service here, feel free to!)
Markit is basically a word-play on “market” and “kit”. It’s short and catchy, and I really love it! I’m building Markit for myself and for other developers, so it might not be directly applicable to other types of product. Markit is designed to be minimal and simple, so it’s not a replacement for a full-blown marketing course. (So if you want to sponsor by promoting your marketing course or service here, feel free to!)

Features
(planned)
-
? Interactive tutorial A step-by-step sets of forms that will guide you through the process of building a marketing strategy for your product. It will be a mix of questions and suggestions, so you can evaluate your idea and make decisions based on your answers.
-
?️ Auto-generated ChatGPT prompts You are not building alone! Markit will generate ChatGPT prompts for you to help you write your copy or to get feedback on your idea. It’s not going to be perfect, but we will keep improving the prompt quality over time.
-
? Integrations Markit will seamlessly integrate with other tools by our sponsors. For example, if you are using ChatGPT Mega-Prompts by MakerBox, Market will automicatically help you personalize the prompts for your product in a few clicks.
Pricing
As I mentioned before, Markit is 100% free and open-source. I don’t plan to monetize it in any way. However, I’m open to affiliate partnerships and sponsors.
If your product or service is relevant to the audience of Markit, such as a landing-page builder, an email marketing tool, or any other product that helps solopreneurs to build and grow their business, please feel free to contact me via my email or Twitter.
