Hello all. I am a 19 year old who's been learning to code for the last 8 months. I started building this web app to find BJJ seminars a couple weeks ago and this is my MVP: BJJ Seminar Finder
I built it just with Python and Flask as my framework. The only issue is that for me to add new seminars I have to manually search Facebook for seminar info to then upload to my database. I'm sure I can automate it somehow but I figured I should just put out a product first and see if people actually want it before making it perfect.
What should I do next from here? Obviously I need to get users but I'm not sure what the best way to do that is, maybe posting on Reddit and submitting to Product Hunt. I don't know if paid advertising is a smart move right now as I'm also not sure how I would monetize it after I got users. My thinking is that maybe after I get users I could reach out to gyms or instructors and charge them to have their seminars be on my website, but maybe that's thinking too far down the line and I should just focus on getting users first.
Any advice would be fantastic
