Original Summary

Every "AI made building easy, distribution is the real moat" post stops at the word distribution and walks away. That word did nothing for me. It's like telling a broke person the answer is "money." I spent 6 months building a Reddit tool. It worked. Technically clean, real users trying it. It made $323 in its lifetime. Then I stopped, because I finally understood the thing nobody spells out: Distribution isn't a thing you do after building. It's a constraint you pick the product around . Concretely, before you build, you should be able to answer: Where are 1,000 of my buyers already gathered , and how do I show up there without getting banned? If the honest answer is "I'll post on X and hope," you don't have distribution, you have a wish. Do I have a reason to show up there repeatedly that isn't "buy my thing"? The people who win on Reddit/X aren't selling. They're the person who keeps posting the useful answer. The product is the P.S. Can I be found the moment someone has the problem? SEO, an existing audience, being the obvious name in a niche. If discovery depends on you manually finding each customer, that's a job, not distribution. If you can't answer those three before you write code, no amount of "great product" saves you. I learned that at $323. The uncomfortable part: picking a product where those three are already true matters more than the product idea itself. I now start there and work backwards.   submitted by   /u/Sam_Likes_Tech [link]   [comments]
